Post-Game Talk: Coyotes def. Canucks - 4-3 (OT) (Miller, Garland, Pettersson)

[LickTheEnvelope]

It's a shame but DeSmith and Silovs have been mediocre, defense hasn't helped much and the special teams are still largely a mess.

Just waiting for Demko at this point. As he goes, so goes the team. No way they get through anyone with this type of goaltending.

if anyone outside if vancouver watched that game, that performance sealed the norris

They will just vote for Makar because he has more goalzz

 

[TruKnyte]

My frustration with Tocchet dicking with the lines 3-4 games before the playoffs is at a similar level as Green playing Nic Petan beside Pettersson to fulfill Portland Winterhawk fantasy all preseason then acting shocked when we lose like 7 games out of the gate

Just devoid of any common sense

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

wish they could have declined the penalty shot. nice come back though. point is important.

would have been nice to win, but god I hate decking on penalty shots.

Underrated point, I was thinking that when it was called.

 

[eviohh26]

We going to have to win at least 2 of our last 3 games. Oilers have 2 Arizona games. 1 SJ 1 Avs and us.

 

[Breakers]

Nobody will ever convince me that Myers that Hughes should play together

I’ve seen the data over years.
It is a massive sample

And I franking hate it and thank god it ends this season for good

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I want 50 wins dammit

 

[LordBacon]

I’m starting a partition to send Myers to gulag.

 

[Kryten]

I was yelling at the TV when Boeser let that line change happen but the loss isnt only on him

At this point my money is sadly on them.

At least we don’t have to learn Utahnese and become a fan of the Salt Lake City Super Soakers

Win as a team, lose as a team.

Myers looking like prime Gragnani

Team is definitely bringing Myers back at 3 mil or something. I don't think we're out of the clear at all.

 

[mossey3535]

Watched Fallout instead until the OT. Silovs looked very poor in the highlights. Need Demko back ASAP.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

We still need a massive overhaul on the backend next year. Only 2 guys can make breakout passes.

 

[Ace of Hades]

Tocchet should stop f***ing around and sub Juulsen in for Myers in the next game. That's an improvement right there.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Lindholm was really good. Tocchet straddling him with PDG and Mikheyev was not.

We saw Lindholm Miller Boeser and Joshua Pettersson Garland for the last 3-4 minutes and it was rockin’. Please just start some reasonable lines as we gear into the playoffs instead of blendering and forcing things that aren’t there

While I'll die on the Lotto line hill. I'd be fine with something like that for a period or two. Basically, anything resembling a cohesive plan. Putting Lindholm with two offensively challenged wingers makes his whole line little more than a cardio skate.

Tocchet has to accept Lindholm is not a line driver. You get mileage out of him by giving him offensive threats. We're treating him like Malhotra which is a waste of time.

I won't be happy until he hits UFA. Thanks for your service and all that but definitely time to move on. I don't care how little $$$ he takes to come back.

The positive was that when we needed to tilt the game, we were able to.

Hughes was possessed in that 3rd. And we were able to come in waves there - not easy to do against any NHL team.

Still, too many mistakes overall. Hoglander/Myers selfish penalties. Lots of unforced errors in the neutral zone, unnecessary icings etc. These things kill you in the playoffs.

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

all in all this was a very positive game

lindholm came back a different player

petey got a reminder that shooting the puck can lead to good things

hughes padded his cushion to four pts

pk looked really really good

got to watch an exciting third period comeback

not really concerned about chucking away the pt tbh

 

[DimitriL07]

If people think anyone but Hughes deserves the Norris then they are truly dumb. What a performance.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

On the positive side, I loved Lindholm tonight - he needs to be in the top 6. And really a couple goals against were lucky bounces.

On the negative side... they just don't seem to want to win anymore. They don't play with any intensity until its 3-1 & their in a hole. Sure they controlled possession but not alot of shots, lots of having it on the outside & trying to force passes through traffic that were never going to work. 5-10 intense mins won't beat anyone.

Pacific Division is in serious jeopardy. Lose on Sat & its likely gone.

 

[VanJack]

Canucks coaches really dropped the ball in OT. Can't fathom Boeser being out there three-on-three. He simply doesn't skate well enough.

And some of Quinn Hughes shift-lengths were bordering on the ridiculous. It's just too bad it was Hronek who earned a penalty shot in OT. There was zero chance he'd ever score. One example of where a penalty shot call instead of a two minute minor actually hurt the Canucks.

But a squandered point is a squandered point. Now almost 'must win' Saturday in Edmonton if the Canucks have any hope of winning the Pacific.

they came out flying at the beginning of the second period and were caving phoenix in

the only problem is every pass was aimed at a teammate’s skates instead of his stick
