Post-Game Talk: Coyotes 4 - Canucks 3 OT - Baer x2, Gaudette

[JayToad]

Should be a real barnburner tonight. Shame I'll miss it since I already made plans to sit in a field and watch grass grow.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Didn't he get just destroyed by Boogaard? I admired his spirit, if not his brains. Think that might have been the end of the NHL road for him.

Anyway, I say we take down the Yotes big time.

5-0 Canucks

Boeser x3
Virtanen
Horvat

It was John Scott that destroyed Bolduc. Definitely one of the worst beat-downs I've ever witnessed.

EDIT:

 

[Scott Stevens]

TIL that Granlund scored PPG as an 18 year old and 2 PPG as a 19 year old at the WJC.

Any chance it was his brother?

 

[Scott Stevens]

If the 'Yotes had any luck, they'd have none at all. Trade a couple of high former first round draft picks (Stome and Perlini) to the Hawks for high-scoring Nick Schmaltz and now he's done for the year with a knee injury.

Why is that in terms of their development, young players just seem to 'die on the desert'? Could be an ugly game tonight though. 'Yotes will dumb the game down and take away the center of the ice. And the Canucks without Pettersson coming off back-to-back goose-eggs. Two teams who can't put the puck in the ocean right now.

My prediction is 2-1 for somebody...a 'pick-em' basically.

The expression goes “If they didn’t have bad luck, they’d have no luck at all.”

Fitting that a guy with Sami Salo as his user name should know that saying.

 

[Elias GOATtersson]

6 goals for boeser 7-2

Coyotes’ leading scorer is Richardson...yuck

It's been said, but damnit... why the hell did we drop this guy?!

That would be hilarious if it was true.

I actually meant in a lol way
If your leading scorer is Brad Richardson and you’re not an expansion franchise, then you should really move your franchise to a different place.

Yeah no, definitely agreed. He's a 4th liner... a good one, but a fourth liner. Just every time I see that scoring stat and think he could still be with our team scoring in a depth role just makes me frustrated that the club gave up on him so easily.

 

[MajinBo]

3-1 Canucks

Well, he’s their second best C, won’t get as many opportunity here so the scoring will go down

Yep...have a feeling that by the time this one is in the books, hockey purists might wish they'd have "burned down the barn" before the game actually started.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Canucks need to go 5-0-1 over the rest of this month to realistically have any chance at playoffs. I said 6-2-1 in January to get to an 88 point pace which is already low.

They've lost 2 of 3. The schedule is never easier than this stretch.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

That would be hilarious if it was true.

 

[Bgav]

Is demko starting ?

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

I haven't really been paying a whole lot of attention to things as much lately and was wondering what the hell ever happened to that little goalie situation we had about a week ago. I see nothing obvious from the thread titles on the first page and was curious how it all went down with concern to both Canucks and Utica.

 

[Zombotron]

MAN i'm ambivalent about this team

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Seems like a game they should give him...but I believe it’s Markstrom.

I understand, Zombo, but thanks for the many times you've done the GDT. Most appreciated.

I dont see it..they've already played too many games...

 

[Canuckle1970]

Even if we win 50% of our remaining games, I think we'll be bypassed by other teams with more games remaining (eg. Minnesota). I'm just going to enjoy some (future) goal scoring by EP and Brock, and let the chips fall.

Those two were kind of magical draft picks at 5th and 23rd, so.......anything can happen.

Sportsnet has been all f***ed up on my cable feed for a few hours now. Flickering picture and no audio...

I feel like we're destined to finish in the low twenties, maybe in the 80 point range just one good stretch away from the post-season.
