Post-Game Talk: Game #15 November 12th - Canucks lose to Leafs - 2-3 - Horvat & Miller

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Your best goalie plays the best team. Which is Boston tomorrow.

He isnt our best goalie for a start.

Demko single handily beat the Leafs nine months ago..he played exceptionally well against them.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Much as I want the Canucks to win, I’m filled with dread over this one. Unless Martin pulls a miracle out of his backside, I feel like we get trucked here.

 

[rypper]

I think this will be like an 8-7 game.

That being said it could just as easily be a game where Martin or whatever unknown the leafs are putting out there just goes full Dominik Hasek.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

From the Leafs board..This is an eye opening stat.

"The Canucks are 2nd last in the league for goals against, an absolute tirefire. They haven't allowed less than 4 goals in their past 5 games

The offense has a golden chance to get going here"

Forgive me if this was already posted.

Pettersson has missed a handful of optional skates. Really think he must be fighting something despite how good he’s been.

By my count he’s missed every one for weeks.

As long as he brings it during games he can miss as many as he likes.

A 4pm ET/7pm PT game is a doozy.

Yeah, it was late when I created the GDT, my apologies

Also, I recognize that many on our Board are not Leaf’s fans, but I’d suggest that fans of players take a look at the Leaf GDT . @PromisedLand has done a nice tribute to hockey legend Borje Salming.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Those winger pairs look like the best choice, for rolling the big 3 C's.

Demko in Boston makes me about as confident as Luongo in Boston.

Demko doesn’t have the ego of Luongo yet.

Did you see all the stats about the leafs actual offensive 5on5 stats lol

And who they have already lost to when it was dupposed to get going

Canucks hold the first 10 minutes and it could be a close game

Canucks need to shoot from everywhere and drive the net from the side. Leafs defence is sad protrcting the crease and the goaltending is suspect.. shoot and drive .. all night

 

[Canuckle1970]

Hope both of our goalies have good nights today and tomorrow. Won't be surprised if we lose both games, given the Leafs' firepower and the Bruins balance and discipline. I just want us to play well in both games, and carry it forward.

 

[m9]

Demko, our franchise goalie.... currently isnt our #1 goalie..If he was , he would be playing tonight.

Thats a legit story.

Personally, I think people are making a bigger fuss over who's going to play on the LHD of the 3rd pairing D...This team has way bigger fish to fry than than that.

That Demko is playing poorly is a story. Which order these two goalies play these two games is not.

 

[TruGr1t]

The Leafs have their own set of problems, so this could probably go either way. Was I them, however, I would not want to lose to this moribund Canucks team on home ice on a Saturday night.

 

[Peen]

Demko played college hockey in MA.

It’s a b2b.

Any standard 55/27 splits or whatever would give Demko Boston and Martin Toronto.

Not sure why this is a discussion.

Maybe if Demko was throwing constant .950 it would be diff

 

[canuckking1]

If anything Demko has it worse against the 12-3 Bruins firing on all cylinders than the hot and cold Leafs.

 

[EpochLink]

Demko is playing tomorrow, right now play the hot hand in Martin.

Yes that's leadership?

Someone gets it.

Smart play by BB

 

[RussianRacket]

Getting pretty excited for the game! My son has been wearing his EP40 jersey all morning and day. He loves to beat the Leafs so we're definitely looking forward to the game!

GO CANUCKS GO!

They're professionals. I don't find your humor amusing.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

This appears to be the case.

Just because Martin is from Ontario and Demko played at Boston U has squat to to do it.

 

[Breakers]

We'll probably survive for 2 periods submitting an absolute boat load of shots but it will be tight.

then right on queue let in a gazzillion 3rd period goals
we lead the league in 3rd period goals against by a mile.

-So 35 shots against through 2 periods
- Then 6 shots against in the 3rd period, but like 4 goals on those shots.

After winning the game makes more sense. A night to remember.
