You're right. I mean, defensemen should never be held accountable for bad play. It's ALL on the goalie right?

Am I invited?
Tonight was a pretty promising game, and I'm excited to watch the Hawks game on Tuesday!
Canucks were the better team tonight, Allen was stellar for them.
Garrison was very effective, battles hard every shift. Ballard was good too.
Sedin line was outstanding, unlucky not to get a couple more.
Raymond and Hansen continue to play very well. They are amazing skaters - first on the forecheck and first on the back check, synchronized at times too.

Effort was there, shootout was awful.
These leads giving up is becoming a troublesome trend, onto Chicago.
I believe David "the truth" Booth is medically cleared to play?

The first Kesler call? I can't remember. Is that the one where he had his head nailed into the boards and he hopped up instantly?
Trying to suggest ANY player intentionally rams their head into the boards is um, well not well thought out to be extremely polite about it.

So when you outchance the opposition 2-1 and dominate 2 of 3 periods you deserve to lose the game? Riiiiight.
Luongo looked awful on the 1st goal. Terrible rebound and somehow found himself completely out of the net and unable to save any second chance opportunities. Completely against the flow of play as well.
Jake Allen was the better goaltender tonight. And that was the difference.
The Canucks couldn't have done a better job in the 3rd period and overtime.
I like how Schneider's game vs the Sharks is now considered a bad game for him. The Sharks dominated for long periods and all their goals were very good goals. So it was a bad game because he gave up 4 goals? If that is the case Ryan Miller must be one of the worse goalies in the league. Luongo was not bad tonight bothers me he does not play the puck more and goes down on angle shots but the goals were reasonable ones. If they always went in you would have a problem, but they have not been.

Kesler is back, and had another good game.
They lost because this team didn't put together a full 60 minute effort. Yet again.
If Rooney is gonna call a game like he called this one, we should be diving like there's no tomorrow. If they're not gonna call Backes for running over Lu, absolutely, dive it up, it's not like we're making the refs look any stupider than they've already made themselves look.

Odd logic. Blues put out a 1 period effort. We outplayed them, bounces just didn't go our way.
I thought the second Kesler call was more questionable than the first one. On the first one he clearly gets his head slammed into the boards by Polak. Sure he looks up at the ref afterwards, but that doesn't make it a dive.

No that was he second call in the 3rd. The first one I believe was just a hard hit on he end boards. Both plays though are too reckless on Kesler's part. He needs to gain some control in his game. His head shouldn't be down like that in the first place.
They didn't lose, they tied. And they tied because the Blues got more bounces. Did St. Louis desrve to win with 1 good period, 2 garbage ones and a pitiful overtime?
The Canucks should never dominate this Blues team for 3 periods. St. Louis is a juggernaut...
No. Diving is never the answer.
The one on the end boards was the one with the head contact. The second one he launched himself a bit for dramatic effect IMO.

We won some games we didn't deserve to win.
now we've lost two games we should have won. such is life.
Kesler looks great. I feel better about this team now than I did a week or two weeks ago.

Do you honestly think I thought Kesler tried to ram his OWN head into the boards? I was talking about the Blues' player. Maybe you should work on your own thought process.
Can you explain how a team isnt ready to play the full game? How do you coach that? Explain to the rest of us how that works.
Then explain how the team dominated the 3rd period . According to your theory they are 'coached' to quit on the spot.
I just cant do this. Im sorry but your point is ridiculous . Feel free to keep moaning about it somehow but it insults my intelligence.

I agree. Bounces come and go, but we play like we did this game every game, and we'll go deep.

Kesler needs to stop putting himself in vulnerable positions. He hunches and his head is too low along the boards at times.
You're blaming Luongo on this one?
I said they lost their last 2 games because their goalies were outplayed in both.
Dispute it. I dare you.

The second one is the one I'm referencing, got a bit confused there, and I think launched himself.
