GDT: GAME #24 - Vanny @ Minny - 5:00 p.m., SPAC

[DustyMartellaughs]

Terrible story, terrible voice acting but AMAZING gameplay.

We've all dated a girl like that.

 

[StringerBell]

I don't recall seeing Alexander Edler as terrible as he has been the last few games. He looks awful out there. To be honest he looks like he is permanently hungover this season. Minute to minute I think he should be our 6th defenseman. He has of course the good offensive upside but his defensive game and even lately all his plays throughout the rink have been terrible. He was my favorite dman before this season but I really don't know about that anymore!

Garrisson too! He looks pretty bad out there a lot of the time.

It is true imo that Ballard and Tanev are our most consistent dmen out there right now. Alberts is Alberts and is filling in so I don't expect too much out of the guy other than to make sure catastrophes don't happen when he's out there.

Yikes, defensive coordination looks terrible right now! Am I being too harsh or what do others think??!

Too harsh on Garrison. Not harsh enough on Hamhuis.

 

[Alexistheman]

He already went against the DET model by trading puck possession/rusher Ehrhoff and highly skilled Hodgson.

He didn't trade Ehrhoff and would have been foolish to keep him at that price tag.

He didn't trade Ehrhoff and would have been foolish to keep him at that price tag.

Well, in hind sight, I would do 4.5 mil (or 4 mil?) for 10 years for Ehrhoff any day of the week.

If we had him, we wouldn't be talking about the plight of the Canucks, IMO.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

He didn't trade Ehrhoff and would have been foolish to keep him at that price tag.

If Ehrhoff wasn't so greedy we probably could have had him.

Paying 18m in 2 years is not only his call but also Aquilini's.

 

[Bgav]

Lol ahahahah

 

[y2kcanucks]

Did he kick it in?

 

[timw33]

Lol wut.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

YEAH!!! 3-2 better not be kicking motion.

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

what a lucky ass goal

 

[StringerBell]

Uhh what just happened?

 

[The Optimist]

Booth continues to do what Booth does best.

 

[RezChi]

Lmfao one of the refs shaking his head

 

[SnapIt]

Yay Garrison.. I could never hate the man who looks like Johnny Canuck

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

... is Henrik a goal scorer now? He's been on fire - for him at least.

 

[timw33]

He didn't trade Ehrhoff and would have been foolish to keep him at that price tag.

Sorry, let walk for no assets (well a 4th, but yeah..)

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Thats a goal no doubt.

 

[Fat Tony]

Gillis did trade Ehrhoff.

 

[Jyrki]

Paying 18m in 2 years is not only his call but also Aquilini's.

Yeah, not a lot of people would want to give a guy who isn't even a top defenseman $18 million over two years.

Given the Sabres' recent results, I have no doubt Pegula has a buyer's remorse of the sort.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Wow. Somehow we are within 1.

 

[RezChi]

No kick, was stopping.

 

[m9]

Good play down low by Booth.

 

[me2]

I hate say it but this team is rubbish without elite goaltending and no team that takes itself seriously as a contender should be that position. I wish I was a fly on the wall inside the nucks dressing room to see if there was anything going on that might explain their recent play (injuries, flu, etc).

Would Gillis have the balls/lack of character to move Edler before the NTC kicks in because I hate our defense atm. Can't think of what else we could do outside of Visnovsky, beside replacing the coaches and bringing in a system better suited to our current D.

Edit: and we score! still rubbish and the execution team wide is poor.
