Post-Game Talk: Game 1 Quarter Finals | Flames 2 @ Canucks 1

[PG Canuck]

Really need the split now. I would hate to be down 0-2 going on the road...

Already in a must win scenario.....feels good man.

 

[684]

This is why we need a coaches challenge

Willie would probably save his challenge for when the stat keeper forgot to count a hit for Dorsett.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I'm thinking. Was Bonino the worst player in the game? And please don't say Sbisa.

Sbisa wasn't even the worst player on his pairing.

 

[vanarchy]

Willie's hard-on for Dorsett is disturbing. It will literally be the end of us.

 

[go canucks go*]

I think people are worrying too much about losing home ice advantage. Who cares. better team on the road.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

wow who the heck was Bonino matching up against to get destroyed by so thoroughly? Lost a ton of face offs and got ruined in terms of CF%?

I don't know how a guy like Horvat can improve his skating IN season and Bonino cannot.

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

Everyone killed that line, but the biggest deficit was against David Jones; Corsi was 14-6 for Jones vs. Bonino.

wow David Jones ...you'll have to forgive my late response to your post I had to go look up who this guy was that absolutely laid waste to Bonino and that entire line tonight...just unreal...you'd think that guy was Peter Forsberg or something the way he dismantled us.

I know its fun to piss on Dorsett and the Sedins and Sbisa and the entire defence, but the 2nd line is where the game was lost.

This "who cares" attitude isn't going to fly in the playoffs. Regular season, sure, but not now. No room for error.

It's hard to be confident in a team who has **** the bed in the playoffs since Game 5 against the Bruins..

 

[Bro Horvat]

Agreed - still wouldn't like going down 2-0 tho

 

[TheWanderer]

Willie needs to pkay our better players more, plain and simple. Way too much floating from the second line, their minutes should have gone down.

Shisa and Bieksa were utter disasters.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

No, I'm worrying about suddenly having an epiphany to play better when we are already down 0-3, like the last two years at this whole playoffs thing.

I'm more concerned about being down 1-0 in the series and getting thoroughly out coached. I don't give a **** about the home advantage, it's not like it's ever helped us.

Exactly. Being down 2-0 is not easy to come back.

 

[PG Canuck]

Exactly. Being down 2-0 is not easy to come back.

This team doesn't need that seed of doubt planted into their skulls either.

 

[Addison Rae]

we've lost our last 7 playoff games on home ice.

 

[Spectrefire]

This "who cares" attitude isn't going to fly in the playoffs. Regular season, sure, but not now. No room for error.

At the same time, it's only the first game. 3 other good NHL teams lost their games too. It's not the end of the world... yet.

Exactly. Being down 2-0 is not easy to come back.

Not really. You just need one win to make it 2-1, and that's a series again.

 

[HankandDanny]

You don't need to remind me of anything. Willie has been getting outcoached all season long. We made the playoffs in spite of him, not because of him

This is exactly the problem. If we lose one game the world comes crashing down. If we win one, everything is good in the world. Why? I really don't get this "fan base" sometimes. You don't wanna give him credit, then don't. That your choice and your opinion. But if he wasn't there, this city won't be seeing the playoffs after a year.

 

[Bro Horvat]

Exactly. Being down 2-0 is not easy to come back.

Only significant Nucks playoff comeback I can think of was coming back from down 3-1 against STL in '03

 

[PG Canuck]

Of course not, but it's the reasons that contributed to our loss that is the worst.

 

[Toxic0n]

Not yet. We lose the next one and we won't even panic cause we know it will be a short series.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

we've lost our last 7 playoff games on home ice.

Have to admit, that is a depressing stat.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

we've lost our last 7 playoff games on home ice.

we're 1-9 since 2011

 

[Bro Horvat]

holy boats thats a rough stat

It's definitely time for the top two pairs to get double shifted.
