Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Leafs - 3-2 (Miller, Boeser, Lammikko)

[Orca Smash]

Can anybody confirm that Travis Green isn’t coaching tonight?


This is his MO on a good win
Outshot to the bejesus

I get what you are saying, but with green this would be outshot with a loss, and him saying we did some good things, thats a good team over there.

However was way to much passive collapsing again though, but as someone said our roster is terribly constructed, to slow, and the defense is very bad especially without hughes. At times miller and boeser body language defensively is just terrible.

Great stuff once again by Team MVP Thatcher

Enjoy seeing the Leafs heavy media

Good to see the big guns get in on scoring

Along with great passing

So the tank waits another game

 

[DFAC]

Without Denko this is a lottery team

 

[mouz135]

Holy hell, what an ass puckerin’ ending. Demko deserves all the beers after that one

 

[Regal]

mkay so you take off Boeser for Motte which makes sense

So why is Bo still out there lol

I don't understand this team... it's 5-on-5 so they just all collapse and let the Leafs do whatever?

It’s weird, because they were defending much better before the power play, pressuring at the Leafs blueline and causing turnovers

 

[LordBacon]

Ugly win
Demon is a god.
Team needs to change

 

[MajinBo]

even tho we sucked i love it when we beat the leafs.
What a game by Demko..we are lucky to have him.
Now time to watch UFC 271

 

[nucks88]

Good game. time to check the Leafs PGD

Never mind that wait for the HNIC panel…..it will be gold….

 

[Nomobo]

When we get Quinn and Sutter back….look out!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Without Denko this is a lottery team

It’s still a lottery team.

Jim’s number one job in the off season has to be to fix the terrible PK. They need to be at least middle of the pack. It’s the one area that would massively improve the teams playoff odds.

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

Do we even need anyone but demko to make the playoffs? Just sell miller/boeser/horvat and then tell demko to go hasek mode. He will carry us to the promise land.

 

[PavelBure10]

I don't think there is a team in the league that I like beating more than Toronto. Demko was unbelievable in that one.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

When we get Quinn and Sutter back….look out!

In fairness, our defense has a gaping abyss of a hole on it without Hughes. Light years our best defender and arguably our best skater not named Demko.

But man. That was a “bubble” performance from Demko tonight.

I think the bigger picture is how we played and the games in hand that Winnipeg and Edmonton have on us, we aren't catching Calgary and a playoff spot is most likely out of reach.

Even if we make the playoffs the result might be like the last 2 times were poor play was overshadowed by the " we made it in anything could happen attitude".

Dare I say we miss Sutter, Beagle, Roussel and Loui??

Yeah, it wasn’t close but the boys hung in there character win!!

I mean...losing 1-0 in shoot out every game won't get us a playoff berth, just saying.

Eh just get the boys Practising shootouts. Petey and Quinn could probably carry the mini games.

 

[Cogburn]

I'm noticing HNIC has plastered the Jets score up and isn't rotating to the other, feature, game. Huh.

 

[nucks88]

Sorry but I want to keep JT……

 

[Cogburn]

Eh just get the boys Practising shootouts. Petey and Quinn could probably carry the mini games.

That would be awfully predictable for teams to catch on to their skill...just sayin'.

 

[quat]

I think it's great that all those Leaf fan paid $$$ for this game. and had to watch their team get stonewalled by Demko and one of the crappiest defensive six in the league. Feeling really poorly for Hoglander and his inability to finish. Hopefully just a sophomore slump and he'll regain his confidence and form next season.

There's a huge need to let go of some of the "better" players in order to give this team a chance at doing something down the road. This is one poorly constructed team.

 

[Hoglander]

Leafs got Demko'd.

Tavares' massive and immovable contract is going to hold them back from improving their goaltending and defense.

Really missed Hughes out there.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

only watched the third but oh my gosh what a pathetic performance in front of a magnificent performance
