we scored too many goals....

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Carry the momentum throughout the road trip. Now just 3 points behind Minnesota.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

They outshot us 39-28.

Doesn't it feel good to be the team with a lesser amount of shots, yet score more than two goals?

 

[Canucks LB]

Lets just play all the home games on the road

 

[y2kcanucks]

Good win. Beat a bad team like we should/have been doing. Nice to see Booth get a goal.

We were outplayed though, as evidenced by being outshot 39-28, but Luongo came up big and made the big saves when we needed it. Also, Craig Anderson is a terrible goalie. Not sure why Lehner isn't their starter.

Hopefully we can build on this going into New York Saturday.

 

[Grumbler]

Hope edmonton can beat nashville. Their up 2-0 right now.

Yessir. Though I'm not convinced that would be the case if Lehner were in net. Anderson is just awful this year.

 

[pahlsson]

blew our load again, 1 goal game coming up

 

[ghostingtaro]

Good game

Not sure is something wrong with the team or we need to be in the Eastern conference

 

[Oddrane]

Why can't Booth play like this every game?
And like other posters have said, just make every game a road game

 

[Jyrki21]

Phew, hopefully they can build off this game, unlike the CBJ 6-2 victory. Have to say...this wasn't their best performance in the past 8 games yet they win comfortably, go figure!

Weak Eastern team on second night of back-to-backs . Gotta respect the context.

I felt Booth looked good in the LA game. Didn't like his defensive gaffe tonight, but aside from that he looked not bad again.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Yessir. Though I'm not convinced that would be the case if Lehner were in net. Anderson is just awful this year.

That and we light him up damn near every time we see him.

Booth played alright in the LA game. They have to keep him motivated.

Top 6

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Booth-Santorelli-Kesler

Very questionable move by MacLean to start Anderson tonight. Second night of a back to back, and Lehner has outplayed him this season.

 

[Win One Before I Die]

Can the Canucks move to the East please

 

[Bleach Clean]

Good win. Beat a bad team like we should/have been doing. Nice to see Booth get a goal.

Could be score effects, but hey, why get in the way of a good story eh? lol.

So just to be clear, outshot is outplayed right? If so, you will see the chest sniper/plug argument revisited in the Lu thread...

------------

I thought Luongo looked very shaky early on, and the team tightened up because of his play. That was the 1st period. The 2nd period onward, they just played and took the game over. Luckily, there was enough of a cushion built up for Lu to make 2 big saves and coast it home.

 

[Outside99*]

Tale of 4 pairings

Hamhuis Tanev were stellar + 3 (8 minutes in the 3rd, 12 shifts)

Bieksa Stanton were good

Garrison Edler were so-so

Bieksa Edler were miserable

 

[Drop the Sopel]

Good to see the team respond well after coming out of the 1st trailing, on what could have been a deflating goal.

Finally got to see Kassian with Kesler - put Kesler in on a breakaway his 1st shift with him.

Booth has strung a couple good games together. Hopefullly a little confidence will make him a useful top 9 forward. The Canucks really need him to get there.

Can probably count on 3 fingers how many times the Canucks have laid an egg through the first third of the season. With this level of consistency and the personnel, you have to think they will find a way to sneak into a playoff spot, barring major injuries.

Most importantly, the PP is showing signs of life. The post season probably hinges on if they can continue to make strides here.

It's hilarious how he can jump on either side of an argument without even noticing...didn't want to point it out because I fear for his mental health, but I guess someone had to go there.

Luck goes a long way in this game...Anderson gifted Van with two goals, Greening whiffing after deking Luongo out of the net and Santorelli saving an empty net makes it an Ottawa victory. It's about time Van got some bounces

 

[DennisReynolds]

We might have a good 3rd liner in Weise.

 

[deadinthewater]

Pretty unimpressed with Spezza, aside from that one shift near the end of the second period, or was it the start of the third? Didn't really notice Ryan either..

 

[Grub]

Karlsson has been severely overrated in the east. He won't survive a second in the west, such a garbage of a player defensively.. so many give aways.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

Yeah, what an odd game to praise Luongo for. Gave up a weak goal in the first, the team came out and scored 5 goals and probably surrendered 5-6 decent scoring chances all night. I don't think I can remember more than 2-3 good saves from Luongo...
