GDT: GAME #10 - Canucks @ Blue Jackets - 3:00 p.m, Sportsnet-VAN (NOT Pacific)

[Towel-Power]

Actually their PP was better than ours last year.

So no.

Wrong.

They were actually almost exactly the same but ours was 15.8 and theirs was 15.7. Both terrible.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Because he is. Stats and all.

But the eye-test.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Because he is. Stats and all.

And there's also room for improvement with younger players. Booth is regressing

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Cmon smack those Jackets up.

 

[Bgav]

How was that a good play? He gave the puck away.

It was the right play, Daniel was open of that get through you all would be saying how nice it was.

 

[Zack Kassian]

I just remember the years when the sedins came over those boards you just knew there was a good chance we were gonna score. If not get a good chance.

 

[thepuckmonster]

I think the Canucks might be drunk you guys.

 

[LiquidSnake]

But the eye-test.

Ya who cares if we lose the game as long as we win the Corsi

 

[canuck4life16]

so much Booth bashing sigh

 

[Tiranis]

And there's also room for improvement with younger players. Booth is regressing

Jensen, last season, was less useful in the AHL than Booth is in the NHL right now. Why in the world would he be an upgrade? Don't you want to wait for him to at least be a factor in the AHL?

This notion that any prospect can come in and play better than a proven NHLer is ridiculous. It's hilarious that you mock Corsi because it doesn't win games but are arguing for inserting a prospect who is quite clearly worse than the player currently in the line-up, which almost certainly correlates with losing rather than winning.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

they are facing a career backup, come on get a goal!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Is anyone else incredibly glad that the days of Byron Ritchie, Brad Isbister, Tommi Santala and Matt Pettinger are over? I can't believe how effective our depth signings have been this year.

 

[thepuckmonster]

That was sarcasm. The fun thing about math and statistics are that the results are inherently unbiased.

 

[Nuckles]

I think the Canucks might be drunk you guys.

Well what else is there to do in Ohio?

 

[Amused To Death]

Maybe Gillis knew something about Welsh that no one else did.

Welsh is actually Wellwood in a mask.

With Daniel not himself it really hurts and dragging Henrik play down so split them

 

[quat]

canucks are taking way to long to move the puck. Gives the other team so much time to read plays and either pick off the puck or destroy the guy passing or receiving. Funny how this team used to be so fluid.

Booth, IIRC, hasn't been on the ice for a goal against yet, so I'm not sure how he's winning Corsi but losing the game.

 

[Grumbler]

sigh goaltending stealing CBJ the game.

I didn't say he'd be better, I said he can't be any worse at this point. What is he providing really?

 

[King of Anarchy]

Don't think it'll be long before Torts puts Welsh with Booth and Kassian.

 

[Tifosi]

4th line is impressive...

 

[thepuckmonster]

Well what else is there to do in Ohio?

According to Nat Geo channel, shooting OxyContin is a big thing in Ohio.

 

[Tiranis]

I didn't say he'd be better, I said he can't be any worse at this point. What is he providing really?

I don't know how about the fact that he has not been scored on yet while the Canucks have scored 3 goals with him on the ice? You can do A LOT worse than that.

 

[RobertKron]

Welsh is actually Wellwood in a mask.

I wish the Canucks had Wellwood again. I don't even care about the on-ice stuff. Just so that we could see a shot of him sitting on the bench looking hilariously out of place once a period.
