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

[mrmyheadhurts]

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.

I'll be thrilled if they escape without an injuries. Seriously.

 

[Ozone]

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

Ahhh...Good to know, and thanks again.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Well I didn't see that coming.

 

[LolClarkson*]

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!

A lot of players do that. Incuding Kane

 

[Devils Trap]

buffalo have 20 back to back game I believe

Devils have 22

 

[LiquidSnake]

Well I didn't see that coming.

Saw a stat that he's 2nd in league in giveaways

I guess it balances out

lol, please. Don't compare Kane's shootout attempts to dan sedin's. Kane can go in slowly and stickhandle slowly, but goalies also realize that he can stickhandle insanely fast even after he has slowed it down. Dan sedin stickhandles slowly going in and continues to stickhandle slowly even with his final dekes ... if you can call them that. Their shootout attempts are nothing alike.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Well I didn't see that coming.

All that can be said.

 

[Nuckles]

Well I didn't see that coming.

Garrison is a -4, Edler is a -5. Ha.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Devils have 22

Although a number of them are probably between you and the Rangers/Islanders.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Garrison is a -4, Edler is a -5. Ha.

We are living in a bizarro world.

 

[Taelin]

We are living in a bizarro world.

Next thing you know...Stanton might have more points than Hamhuis.

Wait.

 

[me2]

Next thing you know...Stanton might have more points than Hamhuis.

Wait.

Or Tanev on track for 14 PIMS. 14!

 

[Jyrki21]

Think back in the day with Crawford taking the team out for some out door shinny. Wasn't that in Ottawa?

Yep, Dovercourt Community Centre still has newspaper clippings on their wall with highlights from the practice. It wasn't really a turning point, though, as the Canucks still missed the playoffs that year (1999-2000).

Do I smell a GDT Theme?

 

[PG Canuck]

Gutsy, gutsy win. Little to no forwards left because Booth is soft and Weise is meh, looked like a legitimate injury at least.

Santo is best.

 

[nmain37*]

Kassian is starting to look comfortable in his own skin. Looks like he is given the leash to do what he wants

 

[NuxFan09]

Garrison is a -4, Edler is a -5. Ha.

That's just weird. I guess it's kind of like Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook being only +0 and +1 respectively, or Weber being -2. When you're getting all the tough minutes you're going to inevitably get the minuses.

Both Edler and Garrison need to get in to the + though.

 

[David71]

wouldnt be surprised if the more guys get hurt from playing more mins+back to back

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Next thing you know...Stanton might have more points than Hamhuis.

Wait.

Or Henrik leads our team in Penalty minutes.

 

[Seatoo]

Or Henrik leads our team in Penalty minutes.

What a goon

I'd quit being a fan of this team if they didn't try to win against STL. I'm serious too.

 

[John Bender*]

I'm not saying they won't try....I am just saying I can see them not being able to bring what it takes to win. Too much fatigue, too much looking forward to being home, etc.

Well you did say "phone it in" so I took that as, not trying at all. Agreed with everything else you said though.

 

[BoHorvatFan]

No way a Torts coached team would ever not show up and compete. But I sure don't expect a win from them, it would be crazy to. Im happy with the trip, we've shown lots of mental toughness I'm impressed.
