Post-Game Talk: GAME #35: Canucks 5 vs. Flyers 1 | To hockey fans in Eastern Pennsylvania: You're welcome!

Up by 3 goals you’d think Green would get Petey and Brock out there to pad their stats instead of Gralund and Beagle

Granlund is a superstar when there’s an empty net.

Too bad he’s an AHLer otherwise.

 

[Serac]

Well deserved empty net goal. Granlund is one of the most underrated players in the NHL.

No but really. This is a parody account right ?

 

[Striiker]

5 goals.

Never a doubt.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Good bench management by Green. Playing 3rd and 4th lines a lot in this period.

 

[kanuck87]

Can't wait for the EP interview.

 

[bbud]

He does it every game, with or without anyone coming from the slot to crash the net. Every, game.

Like I said, every now and then it's fine. But not at the rate he does it.

With his speed he can do that 10 times a game .
Watching him this year he has done far better holding pucks making some really nice plays and when like that last play he is 1 on 3 take it deep is right if EP read it he has a prime chance with time .

Well deserved empty net goal. Granlund is one of the most underrated players in the NHL.

Yes he is. He’s so underrated most observers think he sucks. That’s how good he is at being underrated.

 

[EpochLink]

5 goals.

Never a doubt.

Halstol going out in a blaze of glory?

 

[Fire Benning]

Granlund is a superstar when there’s an empty net.

Too bad he’s an AHLer otherwise.

Ditto for Motte.

I'm all for trying to get them as many ENGs as possible to see if they can trade them.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Granlund is a superstar when there’s an empty net.

Too bad he’s an AHLer otherwise.

Yet if no one scored on the EN there'd be complaints about it, right?

 

[Striiker]

Halstol going out in a blaze of glory?

This was as Hakstol-ish of a game as you could imagine.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

5 goals.

Never a doubt.

Ugly win. Out shot and out chanced and we still win 5-1.

 

[MS]

Yes he is. He’s so underrated most observers think he sucks. That’s how good he is at being underrated.

He does suck.

He’s a slow, small, soft, lazy player who generates terrible results both offensively and defensively and is awful on special teams. He’s quite simply one of the worst regular players in the NHL.

 

[The Stig]

This was as Hakstol-ish of a game as you could imagine.

Do you guys want a slightly used Nilsson?

 

[Tim Calhoun]

I usually think scoring empty net goals is a good sign for a player:

- It signals that a coach trusted the player holding a lead late in a game.
- It means the player was able to gain possession with a man down and put himself in a position to shoot the puck.

But Granlund’s empty net goal prowess makes me re-think my opinion on this...

The tunnel is almost over

Hope so

Thanks for the help guys!

Good luck the rest of the season.

Resting for McDavid tomorrow.

Why risk injury? Rest them for tomorrow

 

[Striiker]

Do you guys want a slightly used Nilsson?

If you want a heavily used MacDonald

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Ugly win. Out shot and out chanced and we still win 5-1.

Outchanced? Meh
We took our gas off after 1st period
Still have a much tougher game tmr

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Hope so

Thanks for the help guys!

Good luck the rest of the season.

We aren’t going anywhere this season, not good enough to make the playoffs
Not bad enough to finish bottom 10, but it is fine. We’ve sucked too much the last three seasons.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Elias is on after hour

Uhh do you remember the start of the game? We never had our foot on the gas really, just got some bounces.
