Post-Game Talk: GAME #4: Canucks 4, Lightning 1: In his temple of energy, Boeser gets off the schneid!

[Megaterio Llamas]

Virtanen cuts a striking figure patrolling the perimeter out there doesn't he

 

[Grub]

Can anyone else tell my what Troy Strecher brings to this team. Definitely not an NHL defender.

 

[Ozone]

Benning got lucky with Pete.... He could have done so much more...

 

[Balls Mahoney]

Is it a new defensive approach for your entire team to stop, freeze and look perplexed when an opposing player has the puck in front of your net? The Canucks have been doing this so long that this seems to be a new philosophical less is more approach to defense.

 

[M2Beezy]

Dont understand why a powerhorse like Tampa has a guy like Girardi who Rangers fans WHINED so much about for so long. He doesnt look good

 

[Hansen]

We’re using a really weird strategy with JV rn where we have him skate 10 ft ahead of the play but never give him a breakout

 

[Zombotron]

Their GM established a tradition of developmental excellence for two organizations and won two Calder Cups before he was 40 f*** I'm so jealous of Tampa Bay

 

[Knight53]

There is no way we're not winning this 2-1.

Goals by Granlund and Motte

 

[Peen]

This is what a good organization can do

The cringe part is that there's probably people who will say "yeah but they haven't won a cup" without recognizing that hockey is the sport that has the most luck involved in comparison to any major N/A sport.

 

[M2Beezy]

Can anyone else tell my what Troy Strecher brings to this team. Definitely not an NHL defender.

Hes probably been our best player this game so far

 

[Dr Good Vibes]

Yeah, Canucks are getting dominated in every zone. Goldobin with the only strong scoring chance of the game so far. Want to see more Pettersson/Goldobin, but seems like we're buckling in for a phalanxian defensive effort and apparently that means minimizing the rooks. I like Green, but don't like how much Sutter/Granlund we're seeing tonight.

 

[PM]

Every time I see Braydon Coburn, he triggers a lot of memories for me. There was a period where he was arguably the most dominant WHL player I've ever seen. I can remember watching with my own eyes one game where he scored four goals and knocked the heavyweight champ of the league the **** out in the same game.

The alchemy that determines what a player becomes in the NHL is so fascinating. Coburn is a fraction of what I thought he'd be in the NHL. He's still very good but it's interesting he's a pretty safe middling NHL defenseman when he was a complete monster in the WHL.

He was a very good player for the Flyers for a good period of time. He just got old. Flyers got a great return for him given his caliber at the time though.

 

[M2Beezy]

1-0 Tampa strikes first

 

[geebaan]

How is Gudbranson in the NHL

To add, that was AHL 6th pairing defender bad

 

[Pip]

The thing that was bound to happen just happened

 

[Balls Mahoney]

He just got old.

I didn't realize it until a moment ago but I was talking about something that happened 15-16 years ago...

...I am turning into Wetcoaster over here and it's not a good feeling.

 

[M2Beezy]

Looked not offside to me

 

[canwincup]

Another goal against the top line haha, I’m shocked that Gudbranson was out there with them.....

 

[Love]

Man the Horvat line just gets torched at even strength

 

[JT Milker]

Horvat and Boeser on the ice --> goal against

 

[Josepho]

Excellent crease clearing.

 

[Ozone]

A dumb moron broken clock is right twice a day..

 

[Pip]

Way to clear the crease Guddy

 

[pettersson]

So do you think jack hughes will be 1c or 2c next yr?

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

What net action eh. Nilsson has been excellent tonight.
