Post-Game Talk: Canucks lose 3-2 in a shootout. Henrik passes to the boards

[luongo321]

No, you misread, he was asking if Henrik is a better shootout option than anyone else.

I would have preferred Kassian and Edler over the Sedins.

I would have preferred sestito over henrik.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Daniel's attempt was passable. just need to lift it a bit.

Henrik - LOL. It's almost like he has too much time and too many options that no decision gets made.

I think he's looking for Daniel to pass to.

Valk strategy against San Jose. "Don't fall behind early. Oh, and be physical."

Never would have thought of this.

Did we deserve to win ? Missed the game

Yeah, pretty solid game for the Canucks.

Valk is confirmed hockey genius.

Valk is confirmed hockey genius.

He has an extra brain in his chin

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

The puck took a bad bounce and went over Henrik's stick. It happens all the time. He's an exceptionally talented and creative player, and writing off his "shootout ability" because he's 1/4 lifetime is so absurd it gives me a headache.

This was a Ryan Walter special back in the day.

Canucks.com has nothing listed as the TV channel for Thursday's game.

Fairly even IMHO. Canucks probably should have had a PP or two for OT and might have finished them off there but the refs were not going there night. Overall I think we can come away happy.

Please don't even joke about that.

The fact that the Canucks all time leading scorer is 1 for 4 in the shootout isn't writing off his ability. The fact that the Canucks all time leading scoring is 1 for FOUR in the shootout is writing off his ability, by, you know, his team.

 

[Trelane]

Honest question: is there an available shooter that Henrik should be shooting in front of? I can't think of one.

Honest answer: there isn't a single skater (including entire D corps) that Henrik should be ahead of when drafting shootout lists (penalty shot is a different story).

With Daniel, it is almost as bad. But him I'd have ahead of Tanev.

*not joking*

Agreed, especially here.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Just stick Archibald or Welsh out there for the SO.

Can't be any worse than the Sedins.

 

[Squall]

Anyone but the sedin's!! Guess torts had to see it for himself to believe it. At least Daniel shot it this time.

Nice goal by burrows. I would have preferred kassian, edler or even Richardson than have the sedins on the shootout.

Good efoort by the team though. I expect to see it be even better in the next game. It kinda has to be if we don't want to get embarrassed by the sharks.

Luongo has clawed his way back to .916 (.918 Hamhuis adjusted)

That's what I'm saying. Fans being vitriolic about their coach giving their best player a 5th lifetime chance in the shootout is lunacy.

This:

Is absolutely moronic.

 

[Finkle is Einhorn]

The attitude around here about the Sharks seems to be the same attitude the Canucks have towards them: too much respect.

 

[me2]

Just need to get this team a 2C somehow. That little bit extra pop would have a huge difference in games like this one. Positives 1/3 on the PP (yah a PP goal) and 3/3 on the PK.
