GDT: GAME #43 - "Hitchsucker Blues" - Canucks @ Blues - *APRIL 16, 2013* - 5:00 p.m, SPAC

[Finkle is Einhorn]

The Canucks don't lack for moves in the shootout, they absolutely lack in finish. Roy had an open side, and Burrows needed to get it up. The Blues couldn't roof it any higher, the Canucks seem to have problems lifting the puck above 3 feet.

 

[VanCanucks53]

I'll take the point.

 

[StringerBell]

Another great game ruined by a shootout.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Meh I can't be angry about this. Blues are bad this year, they're obviously desperate for the extra point from a team on a back to back.

Neeeexxxttt.

 

[EpochLink]

Steen should shut his mouth, you had to beat us in a shootout

*******

 

[ziploc]

Minny beating the Oilers, should be only 4 points back at the end of tonight. And a much easier schedule over the last 5 games. It is still a toss up who wins the NW this year. Dangit.

 

[MajorCanuck]

Steen and Mcdonald both trash talked our bench after they scored.

jokes on them, no shootout in the playoffs

 

[Bougieman]

Pretty excited that we got the one point after only scoring a single goal, and only getting a few on net, to be honest. 9 times out of 10 that is a loss. We're fortunate.

 

[perrykaravello]

Canucks have pissed away 7 points this season when leading after 2.

 

[canuck4life16]

we just need 3 points to clinch?

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

How is anyone surprised? This team is ****ing garbage in shootouts and St. Louis is money.

They have snipers and the Canucks have hard-working checkers.

Burrows has been doing the same moving since Y2K.

They had no business getting a point but did.

Good thing there are no shootouts in the playoffs but this team will be lucky to get out of round 1.

 

[BigTruzz]

Bubble team....

Haha yeah
Oh well no shootouts in the playoffs...Thank god for that.

 

[luongo321]

After watching this game, it further supports what I have already believed. I want no part of the Blues in the first round. They are so physical and will definitely try to take out our players.

 

[Karter]

This Alex Steen kid is the definition of class.

That's pretty doubtful. That assumes that we lose two of Dallas, Detroit, Chicago and Anaheim and Minnesota wins all their remaining games.

Agreed. I know it was a shootout loss, but the Blues would wear down the Canucks in a playoff series.

Hearing a fan say this... Damn.

I'm sorry but this type of expectation is just flat out depressing.

No shootout in the playoffs, thank god.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Really annoyed at AV's shootout choices.

 

[Nucker101]

This Alex Steen kid is the definition of class.

That dude has definitely hated this team since the playoff series sweep. He's played pretty well against the Canucks as well.

 

[LiquidSnake]

The Canucks 3 of 5 and are probably ok

 

[Kirk Mclean]

Out in the first round

 

[Grumbler]

After watching this game, we'll be lucky if we can get out of first round.

As definitely evidenced by their 35 shots and only one goal.

Team of pure finishers, they is.
