Post-Game Talk: GAME #61: Canucks 9, Bruins 3 | The highest-scoring game of the JB era

[member 290103]

Made an average of about $60,000 a year for 27 years, and when I lost my job as a city engineer, my wife and I did the math and said why work anymore. Our income is considered to be below the poverty level, but we have decent assets and no debts.

Simple advice? Don't buy toys ever if you need to finance it. And be born white male and privileged ....

too late for me. I f***ed it all up.

Edler was absolutely horrid on the Bruin's first and third goals. If you watch closely, he gets caught going the wrong way and Pastrnak blows past him at the Bruin's blue line leading to a clean break away. On the Bruin's third goal, he gets caught in no man's land when trying the block Wagner's first shot, which allows Wagner to get to his rebound uncontested.

I think you have the first goal all wrong. Sutter has control of the puck and Edler starts pinching looking for a chance when Sutter literally just hands it over to Grezlyk for absolutely no reason other than sheer stupidity and then gets caught flat footed on the pass as Pastrnak blows right hy him.

The game is passing by Sutter and it would be nice if Benning can unload him asap

Personally I prefer a partridge

What a bunch of pheasants.

You people are grousse

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Did anyone not love this?

Beating the Bruins is great... embarrassing them is the stuff of dreams.

Wow............had to PVR the game due to being out last night and got up early this morning to watch it.

If someone would've told me the score was going to be 9-3 I would've definitely assumed it was for the Bruins.

2 things that really stood out for me. #1 Horvat - was flying all night - really need him to play like that (which is how he should be playing) as would give us two very solid lines at least. #2 Hughes - I'm calling it - In my opinion he's passed Petey in terms of importance to our team. NIGHT IN AND NIGHT OUT he's making spectacular plays. He totally transforms our team and if you can't get excited about him and our future (regardless of what cap or management issues that we might have) you are blinded by your hate for management.

Great game that really bodes well for our stretch run.

Bruins fan here. Not sure what to say, although this actually isn't that rare as of late vs. the Canucks. These are Rask's numbers vs. the Canucks since the start of 2017/18:

Feb 18, 2018: 4/8, .500 sv. % (pulled after 20 min, credited with loss)
Nov 8, 2018: 11/14, .786 sv. %, (in relief, played 25:07, credited with loss)
Feb 4, 2020: 25/25, 1.000 sv. % (60 min shutout)
Feb. 22, 2020: 21/27, .778 sv. % (pulled after 46:28, credited with loss)

Total: 1-3-0, .824 sv. %, 5.15 GAA, 1 SO

Don't think you'll find that kind of stat line anywhere else.

Actually Halak is even worse, he's at .796 sv % and 5.38 GAA.

October 20, 2018: 18/20, .909 sv. % (lost in OT)
November 8, 2018: 14/19, .737 sv. % (pulled at 34:53, no result)
February 22, 2020: 5/8, .626 sv. % (in relief, no result)

Combined they've let in 23 goals on 100 shots since the start of 2017/18

First multipoint game of the season for Loui Eriksson.

 

[M2Beezy]

Better game from Horvat but a good captain today grows way better facial hair than he has. Embarrassing come playoff time

Tee hee hee, you wanna talk about playoff beard?

No one expects Horvat's playoff beard to look like THIS:

But it should be magnitudes better than THIS:

Verdict: not the best, but I'm alright as long as it's not the worst.

 

[MS]

Stopped watching this game at 2-1 .... jeez, what a result.

Nice for Toffoli to have a game like this to get settled in.

It’s something he needs to work on in the off season for sure.

Truer words were never spoken! I understand he fights hard on the forecheck, is a reasonable penalty killer, however his transistion game kills him. His +/- reflected this last night. He was quite bad.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Man, I really wanna re-sign Toffoli. Dude is a beast. Don't know where the money comes from tho

Not just the money. He’s a UFA. He’s gonna get 30 teams offering him money. He can chose where he wants to go at seasons end.

 

[Fire Benning]

Canucks are tied with Florida, Washington, and Tampa for the most 15 goal scorers with 7 (including Toffoli)

 

[Canuckle1970]

As I said in the pre-game thread:

Boston on a back to back, 3rd game in 4 nights. The time is now. Beat the sh!t out of them.
Thrash them on the scoreboard.

There will never be a better opportunity, as Boston may not make it to the Stanley Cup finals.

I sure got my wish last night. It was just wonderful.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

This comes off extremely bitter. And it is.

He’s upset that there is no tank thread.

Sutter's biggest problem is that his motor has broken on the backcheck and he just doesn't move his feet to stay with his check.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Was great to see that Bo Horvat in power mode again...I was concerned that maybe he was injured the last little while (or maybe just worn out)...Anyway,he played like the Captain last night.

 

[Zombotron]

Even a day later, the fact that the two highest scoring games of the JB era have come against Boston is still hilarious. I have said as many unkind things about JB as anyone else, but he can have that one. That's a win.

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Sutter's biggest problem is that his motor has broken on the backcheck and he just doesn't move his feet to stay with his check.

I've been wondering if his body is just too far gone and he doesn't push as much as he can with his skating because he's worried about getting injured again.

 

[MS]

Maybe?

It looks like his energy level is still good on the forecheck and maybe he’s burning himself out there, but when the play gets turned over and he has to skate back ... honestly, it’s pathetic. He looks like a guy on the back end of a 3-minute shift in a beer league game.

 

[Jimnastic]

I can't get over Hughes's number's these last few games. And Im not even talking about counting stats like his assists.

He's insane. He just is

How does a player have a 16-1 High Dangerous scoring chance differential in the last 2 games 5v5.
just how?

ummm. he skates well and passes even weller.

 

[Jimnastic]

Gotta disagree. Thought it was one of Edler's weaker games. But that first Oston Ruins goal was a spectacular pass, and Edler realised immediately he was beat and made a desperation flail. Not Edler's fault.

 

[Jimnastic]

Not just the money. He’s a UFA. He’s gonna get 30 teams offering him money. He can chose where he wants to go at seasons end.

Yeah, but I suspect he wants to stay here. Let's see what happens.
