GDT: GM 2 | Vancouver Canucks @ Philadelphia Flyers | 4:00PM PST | Sportsnet

I'm not going to lie, 3v3 and shootout is very exciting to me. Not the fairest way to end an even game, but from a spectator's perspective, it's exciting.

3 on 3 gets bad when teams keep taking the puck out of the zone. But when both teams attack you get big chances by stars so it’s fun.

 

[Grub]

If OEL can keep up this play then IMO he is worth the money. Garland looks good there and very skilled, he'll soon put some points up as well.

 

[4Twenty]

Travis Green sucks, Travis Green sucks. Almost cost the Canucks another point. Yeah, bench the rookie after he scored his first goal.

They could hire just about anyone and I’d be happy and consider it a huge upgrade.

give oel and garland the 20 game mark to really give an assessement. but so far so good. 2 games in. tommorow detroit

 

[ahmon]

only watched the 3rd, thought canucks played a very good period, not sitting back and moving the puck out of their zone quick.

Quinn Hughes played 27 mins, 1st game he matched up against Mcdavid, this game in the 3rd I thought he was good defensively and won a lot of puck battles with his quick stick.

Canucks dominated OT, should have scored. Petey still looks a bit off.

 

[Melvin]

Same, but if I remember right they changed it because too many games went to shootout

yeah. My preference would be ten minutes if 4v4 and then tie. I never had an issue with ties when I was a kid. I feel the same way about them that I do now about SO wins/losses. Like both our games are ties to me so far.


The biggest sport on the planet ends in ties half the time, a solution in search of a problem IMO.

Wow Hughes with 27 minutes. OEL played 24, Poolman 21 and Myers just hit 20. Apart from Hughes minutes being on the high side I don't mind that distribution.

Ive criticized Hughes often tonight he was much better deserved the time played a very good game well done Hughes.

3 on 3 gets bad when teams keep taking the puck out of the zone. But when both teams attack you get big chances by stars so it’s fun.

Personally I hate 3 on 3 but it's here to stay.

Looked ugly and things need to tighten up but it's still 2 points.

 

[PavelBure10]

who said Garland sucks?

Read the game day thread vs Edmonton. Garland was getting ripped on in there. No biggie though because the doubters have probably already changed their minds .

 

[Orca Smash]

This was a tough game, flyers might not be the top team in the east, but there going to be tough to play against, AV at least knows how to play structured hockey, not going to be easy for any team.

I will give the team credit for pulling out the win at least.

 

[Slapshot_11]

I hope someone in the media has the balls to ask why pods was benched while our vets made "rookie mistakes" that costs us 2 goals late in the 3rd

I can’t think of anything I find less exciting than the shootout. To me it’s the dulllest part of the entire game.

3v3 is sometimes exciting and sometimes players weirdly skating the puck out of the zone to Center in a way that looks totally foreign. I thought 4v4 was very exciting.

 

[Tact]

Hoglander - Horvat - Garland
Miller - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Dickinson - Podkolzin

 

[Paulinbc]

"Hey Travis, in total Podkolzin played 7:03 tonight. What was your reasoning behind benching your star rookie after he scored a great goal?"

I … have a different memory of that than you do.

Would never happen and wouldn't get a response from Green anyways as the vets played his "system". To him, they played well lol.

 

[BWJM]

Flyers destroyed us on the faceoff circle.... but 2 pts baby!! woooo

 

[4Twenty]

Hoglander - Horvat - Garland
Miller - Pettersson - Boeser
Pearson - Dickinson - Podkolzin

This is a f***ing no brainer at this point.

Dowling with Highmore and Chiasson or whoever is fine as a 10 minute line.

 

[Icebreakers]

Wow Hughes with 27 minutes. OEL played 24, Poolman 21 and Myers just hit 20. Apart from Hughes minutes being on the high side I don't mind that distribution.

Hughes with high minutes both games because of overtime. He was probably out there for 3 minutes.

 

[4Twenty]

Pearson holds Bo back. Garland or Boeser and Hoglander with Bo would be so nice.

 

[racerjoe]

I had this sticker!

 

[PavelBure10]

I … have a different memory of that than you do.

Then you probably watched the same game that I did. I loved Garland in game one. I loved him in game 2. There was a dislike of Garland in the first game thread, but agree to disagree my friend.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Pearson dead carcass will never leave Bo's side, you guys can forget about that ever happening

"Well, Podkolzin got the goal but I thought his 2-way game was poor so he had to sit."

 

[RebuildinVan]

We were up in the 3rd... can't have no rookie making mistakes while defending the lead

Right......how many blown leads have we had under Green while using the safe vets again?
