Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Blackhawks - 3-1 (Chiasson, Boeser, Schenn)

[quat]

Science fact: Rabbits (among other animals) actually eat their turds for food once in a while as their bodies cannot properly digest what they consume 'the first time thru'.

I have no idea how I know that.

Everyone knows that!










Right?

 

[DL44]

Does that stat have something to do specifically with 5 on 5 play?

That's what I Initially wondered.... But then how do you associate a pt% to just 5on5... So I just assumed it was just the record during that sample size...

How about Sharks don’t urinate but actually secrete it thru their skin by some process?

Yes, I know a number of oddball facts.

Yeah. I am left scratching my head, because I don't think it makes sense that there are 8 teams with a better record than ours over the last 20 games. Is there?

 

[Icebreakers]

Wow I didnt know that Schenn empty netter was the first goal scored by a dman since Bruce got hired.

Luke for Norris.

We missed the empty net slayers uncle Louie and his aprentice Pearson. No empty net was safe with those two on the ice.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Everyone on HF wants to play the high draft pick , or skilled rookie etc.... meanwhile they know nothing about the full game of hockey and assume they know more than NHL coaches whos jobs are on the line.

cough cough .... Travesty green .... cough cough.

Colorado (18-1-1), Florida (14-5-1), Toronto (14-4-2), Tampa (13-5-2), Minnesota (14-4-2), Carolina (16-3-1), Pittsburgh (15-3-2), and Boston (13-6-1).

Thanks.

That Colorado record is insane. Wow.

There must be some awful records but some teams over that period to allow these records.

Canucks 12-4-4

 

[Rick Rocket]

Yo what is wrong with Petey's legs?

 

[Rick Rocket]

Schenn's play was impressive

Something's not right there.

@alternate

Yeah, Schenn has been great. Pound for pound, probably one of the best UFA signings in the league last summer. Makes no sense to me to trade him short of an big overpayment.

Hard to complain about a solid win, but didn't love BB's lineup decisions. He's earned the benefit of the doubt for now though.

PP is a dumpster fire. Have to wonder why King was kept on staff. Don't like the personnel decisions, execution is abysmal...playoffs won't happen guaranteed if the PP doesn't get going.

PK looks to have found some jump. Getting close to the lofty heights of 70%!!

EP has taken a step back last couple games. Don't really like him with Bo. Think I'd try switching EP and Boeser.

Playoffs are a stretch, but if we can play at a pace under Bruce that would have qualified, that would be something to build on.

The Eastern Conference and Central Division are essentially Finished standings wise. Dallas can still make it thanks to the pacific, but its going to be very hard for them to break the top 4.
Its only the pacific that is in contention and the first two spots are probably going to Calgary and Vegas.

I have zero faith in Edm... LA and Ana I don't think continue on their current records... (Could be wrong about LA)... We shall see.. A good run here and we could muscle into a 3 seed...
Goaltending there... D there, pk coming back... 5on5 play there... Need the PP to step up now to steal us points...

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Hughes is like an umbrella back there. Oddly becoming better on D than O, only time I don't like his play is on the PP.

Also, wtf is up with the whole PP?

Agree with your post. Just wanted to comment on this. I think King has done a poor job. We have like zero set plays. When was the last time we scored on a set play?

When Shaw was hired, I thought that he was going to have a chance to run the PP (despite no having done it in the past). Regardless, the PP is something that Boudreau or Walker could easily have input on.

The PP against Calgary should have prompted the Canucks to make changes.

If you go by points.

If you go by PT% they’ve still only passed Chicago the last 20 games.

It’s hard to catch that many teams. Why? Well because when one goes in a slump another goes on a tear. Some ground has been made up on a couple teams of course but no ground has been made up on others. And that’s the problem when there are 4 or 5 teams between you and a playoff spot.

 

[m9]

Wasn't the busiest night, but since I questioned him getting the start I'll give credit to Halak for holding up and getting the win.

That and the loser point.

 

[likash]

We have a 4-8. record in jan. The loser point makes us look better. Writing 4-4-4 to make it look better is bulljive.The truth is we only managed to win 4 games. The outstanding december is keeping us close but we will need a similar streak to have a real chance.

I continue to be surprised with the Wild. Maybe there is something to them trying to get JT. Especially with retention, they can replace Rask with JT and get 2 kicks at the can in a weaker Western C0nference.

 

[WishfulThinker]

Is it possible to assign Jason King to Abbotsford for a conditioning stint, and like, forget him there?

Unless this is some secret ploy to tank the team, management should care about the results of the powerplay and do something about it.

 

[m9]

I think the thought was that it would be unfair to can Jason King so quickly into his coaching career so they were going to give him the season. Barring something unforeseen, that will be a quick change after the season though.
