Post-Game Talk: Game 12: Canucks 3, Devils 2 in SO - Booth and Weise injured, call up some more D-men

[ohnoeszz]

I don't think Edler's attempt was that bad. He had Schneider on the shot fake, he just has to know to look for the 5 hole before bringing it all the way across the net from that angle. If he wants to bring it far side, he needs to cheat his body towards the far side of the net like Burrows does while using the shot threat to hold the goalie.

Edler has a lethal shot, I think he just needs to get more comfortable going against the goalie.

 

[pahlsson]

yeah i had no problem with that edler attempt, one of the better ones he's done recently

it's that one move he has where he goes in completely straight and shoots 5 hole with no moves or dekes that's terrible

wonder what makes the coaching staff keep thinking that he's a good option in the shootout, he probably tries some crazy **** in practice and always scores on luongo or something

Just watched the game on PVR.

The referees are literally giving us the middle finger at this point.

Looks like we're never going to live down our reputation as "divers" despite the fact that we stopped doing it over a season ago.

We can debate the callups all we want but at the end of the day Gillis really needs to make a move. Even when Burrows and Hansen return, I still think they could benefit from another top 6 forward. Now's as good a time as any for Gillis to be working the phones.

Agreed.
I assume that 'bargaining from a position of weakness' would hinder what we would get - and what we would have to give up.
Lets hope Gillis has one more trick up his sleeve.

I agree with Blake Price: Daniel sounded exhausted during his post game comments. Him, Hank and Kesler even played more than all the defensemen except Edler (25+ minutes).

Even if the other lines suck, Torts should spread the ice time tomorrow. I was all for giving our best players a ton of ice time but with the injuries lately now it's just getting ridiculous. I don't care if the 3rd and 4th lines get wrecked. Just give the top line softer minutes.

Good game guys.....

Again we just cant find a way to win

Good luck throughout .

Same to you, you guys deserved the 2 points IMO.

That last shootout save was such an athletic play by Luongo. Amazing.

 

[cutcopy]

Yeah, he's a clown. Remember the "a disturbing play by a disturbing player" nonsense? What a ****ing idiot. Already can't stand him

who was he referring too? Edler?

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

Brutal schedule is making the Canucks pay. Back to backs should banned, especially if you're on the road. Not surprised in the least that the Canucks are crippled by injuries: fatigue = injuries, it's true at any level of sport.

 

[DennisReynolds]

Kassian with his high stick.

 

[just22]

How did we win that shootout?

Finally a bit of luck for Luongo.

Do all teams in the NHL have an equal amounts of back to backs? Seems kind of unfair if they didn't.

I can't believe a team that's played the least amount of games is playing against a team that's played the most amount of games. And it's the second half of a back-to-back.

Ridiculous.

 

[luongo321]

Next shootout, I'd support going with Santorelli and 2 other randomly-selected players.

I'd be happy with Richardson in the shootout. Maybe even Higgins. Keep Daniel Sedin away from shootouts. It's painful to watch. It's honestly embarrassing. He doesn't get it. He thinks he can outwait a goalie, but he doesn't go in with speed and he stickhandles so slowly. Ahhh!

Few quick tidbits
Booth hurt but walking ok.
Weise walking with help of medical equipment
Saw the team, torts, management and media leave and get screened by TSA after game. Obviously right on the plane to STL. Kesler, Garrison, Bieksa stopped to talk to friends and fam. and obviously Chiggs too. Talked to Schneiders wife, hung w her a few times in van, she said her and Cory like Hoboken and are adjusting well to it.
Just my two cents. Had a few IPA's so I was half paying attention really.

 

[John Bender*]

Zack Kassian.

Thanks for the info.

Any hint on Booth's deal?

buffalo have 20 back to back game I believe

 

[deadinthewater]

Kassian with his high stick.

Wow, what grounds does he have to call him a "disturbing" person? It was an accident after all.

Nope,

breakdown here.

Yeah. Don't want to outright say it but he's had documented problems w it recently. Also burrows too walking around with a Suit and sneakers on. No noticeable limp or anything

I bet they phone it in tomorrow. STL is too tough, they are too tired and they already have had a successful trip. If they somehow pull tomorrow off, I'll be shocked.

Can't believe they've been sitting on their collective ***** for a week.
