Post-Game Talk: GAME #31: Alien 5 vs. Predators 3 | That happened. To St. Louis we go!

[geebaan]

Not exactly sure how Sutter being out changes who the opposition puts out against Pettersson. I'm pretty sure if a team thinks they need to put top defensive players on Elias they aren't going to see Sutter back in the lineup and go "hmmm maybe we need to put those guys up against the Sutter line instead."

Add another dumbass quote to this organization

 

[geebaan]

Man, must suck for their fans to see them drop to the bottom of the standings with injuries like that!

... wait, what?

Yea like all of those guys are their TOP players, and there still right in it. They have all those guys out and are STILL the favourites...

Is anyone surprised they are already blaming injuries? This is legit the only angle they have at this point.

If a top 6 player is out for a significant amount of time then sure it's a big deal. But teams should have enough depth to cover for bottom 6 injuries.

 

[Fire Benning]

Now those are some crazy injuries

And yet they're first in the west right now. Hmmmm.

Benning used the injury card before the season even started.

Pettersson-Tolvanen showcase, please.

Remember when the spin was: "all we have to do is get through this slew of road games; get injured players back; and we'll make hay at home. A loss tonight would make it at 0-5 home-stand. Only way we win this is if Markstrom is lights out and the Preds are sluggish. Doubt it happens. I'm guessing 3-1 or 4-2 Preds.

I think itll be 4-1 Preds but thats just me

10 games without a goal for Virtanen. I'm getting thirsty.

Jeff Paterson✔@patersonjeff
Goldobin part of #Canucks PP1 this morning. In Boeser's 'spot' with BB moving to the bumper with Horvat, Edler & EP40
PP2: Hutton, Virtanen, Leivo, Eriksson, Granlund
22
10:29 AM - Dec 6, 2018

Good news...
I would like to see him stop holding the puck... he's been way to hesitant with it.
The bumper spot requires every touch to be a bang-bang decision...
We know he's capable of playing with a brain... now get back to doing it.

 

[yvrtojfk]

Nice title.

 

[Serac]

I'd prefer Pettersson to be in the D spot than Boeser. Pettersson has the vision, playmaking ability, and shot to be a capable ppqb in my opinion.

That being said, my real preference is getting Hutton back on the first unit asap.

 

[Bgav]

I hate delzotto so much lol

 

[JuniorNelson]

Watching Del Zotto on the Rangers, playing for Vig, he looked like he'd be a great asset. I think Vancouver changes a man?

 

[Pip]

Well they still have their 4th line centre so their foundation is solid

I’m hardly a fan of Del Zotto, but he’s been solid for the last month or so, outside of two incredibly dumb, undisciplined penalties that have cost his team games.

I can understand a punishment benching for the stupid penalty in the last game but on merit there is no way Pouliot or Gudbranson should be in the lineup over him.

that sounds very cool, joined.

 

[Zombotron]

When you lose Filip Forsberg but you can call up Eeli Tolvanen from the AHL to replace him

 

[Red Piller]

Benning has got to be fired soon right? How can he possibly survive much more losing?

Speaking of AV, isn't he looking for a job? I'd take him back in a heartbeat. Sure, he wore out his welcome after a while, but he's still the best coach this team has ever had, and someone needs to teach these players how to play. A pet or two aside, he also mostly ran a meritocracy - at least compared to the favoritism we see on a night-to-night basis.

Anyway, probably not the place for this.

 

[Cupless44]

I don't know how anyone can listen to him, especially in the morning.

I can no problem. Tells it like it is regardless of what the Canucks think. One of the only entertaining personalities in the Vancouver media. Athleties are best read about the Canucks

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Body language says a lot...Game hasnt even begun and they look defeated.

 

[Grub]

Oh boy, we are going to get destroyed.
