Post-Game Talk: GM 4: Canucks def. Flyers - 3-2 in an SO (Pearson, Boeser)

[canuckking1]

Imagine how bad our top 6 would be if we never got Miller and bamboozled the penguins into trading Pearson for Gud

Well, ugly two points. But that's two points taken from a very good hockey team.

And Quinn Hughes is making progress. I mean that in the most complimentary way. As good as this kid was at the end of last year, he has shown improvement already. Kid really is going to be something.

marky getting way too much credit here. the team and defence controlled most of the play in front if him. he made the saves he is supposed to make.

would like to have seen more pushback but the team played well defensively in the third.

More like, Imagine Talbot as our starter.

Better players but same ****ty coach and system. Not sure it can be called a system actually.

i've been a critic of the defensive system but it looked good to me in the third

We were outshot 17-2 and were completely dominated. What in the hell were you watching? Markstrom made like 4, 5 alarm saves that period. We’d be 1-3 right now without him, full stop.

I don't entirely agree. The D in front of him has been like, an order of magnitude stronger than it was last year, which has helped a ton with keeping a lot of those chances low danger, but he still makes exceptional key saves every period that keep his team in it. He's been extremely sharp.

Uh...what? They were outshot by...how much? Without Markstrom, they lose 5-2, 6-2. Something like that. What game did you watch, man?

 

[Canucko]

Is it safe to assume Demko gets the start Tuesday?

 

[DFAC]

Great first two periods, terrible third. Seems like we sat back and Philly finally woke up

Not all shots are equal. We were really outplayed in the first part of the 3rd though.

 

[Canucko]

But Markstrom was brought in by Gillis, so really he’s not that good. The defense Bennings brought in though, they’re the bees knees.

Funny that the only person bringing up Gilles and/or Benning is you. Maybe take note.

Yeah, one thing thats been nice to see, both in the kings game and this one, is that the D has been a lot better with making some of those chances lower danger shots that glance off Markstroms pad around the side of the net. A number of those would have been defensive breakdowns in the past. Still a lot to be desired, but I'm more worried about our offense than our defense atm which is a little shocking?

i think we lose without a goalie who stops all the shots an nhl goalie is supposed to stop but that was a game i was sure the canucks would win before the penalty because the flyers were not getting second and third opportunities and their good scoring chances were still top of the slot.

what are the game stealing saves he made in the third? there was maybe one cross ice play.

he was very good but not great. because he did not need to be great.

 

[Svencouver]

Certainly the worst aspect of our D atm is getting the puck out of our own zone, but its more of a systematic issue than anything. They just need to play a little more composed and take an extra look before blindly throwing passes onto the opposing teams tape

are you kidding me with that bullshit?

i love marky. i don't care who acquired him. i think he was good but not great that game.

long season so we'll see i guess.

those posts say the opposite of what geeban said.

I have only liked Pettersson's game in one game against edmonton.

Just don't like it right now. He is chasing the game.

What on earth were you watching?

Markstrom was absolutely outstanding tonight and had to be as the team was caved in in the second half of the game.

what saves do you have in mind?

2-3 point blank saves in the 3rd - one on a Flyer trailing the play who had a pass tipped back to him stands out - and one of the saves of the season so far on Voracek in the first.

That whole 3rd period was a fire drill defensively.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

I thought the team collapsed decently around Marky and Myers especially broke up some good cross-ice chances and generally moved the puck with some authority out of the zone. Generally the biggest problem was the forwards and defense were out of sync and they kept handing the puck back to the Flyers. Gotta give some credit to them, they owned the middle of the ice.
