GDT: [GM30] Canucks vs Panthers | Thur. Dec 14th, 7pm | SNP | Lou Ring of Honour Night

Absolute L take, go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200

If Canucks score 5 goals in game 7 and we win 5-4....Luongo wins the Conn Smythe. But you just need one person to blame for failure. It's the same people that blame Hamhuis for trying to hip check Lucic, or the people that blame Thomas for his illegal equipment, or Colin Campbell for his unjustifiable conflict of interest....at the end of it all, we lost, and it wasn't one guys fault, certainly not the guy who literally won two games singlehandedly, allowing zero goals

Go rewatch game 3.

then watch game 6. Cup in the building, all the momentum in the world, and then watch Luongo. . I understand we didn’t score goals, but he quite literally lost us both games cause he couldn’t make a save.

He has a shutout then follows it up with the worst performance ever

I am okay with Aman coming out over PDG just for the pk. PDG is a much better pker than Aman.

The only game I blame Luongo for was game 6.

Also, it's a Ray game today.

 

[Zippgunn]

Yeah I was at that Game 7 and it never really felt like we had a chance. A defeated team at that point.

Yup and the ten million dollar captain goalie playing like ass the game before had absolutely nothing to do with it. It was injuries and the evil refs and the terrible conspiracy against the Canucks by the NHL and...

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Panthers will be jacked for this game..I think this will be a tougher one , than against TB the other night...They will be playing for Lou even more so than we will be..Our players have no connection to him whatsoever...Not only that, the Panthers were embarrassed last game against the Kraken, so they'll be hungry to rebound.

If the Canucks dictate the pace , they will have a good chance of winning..and stop taking bench minors (3 in the last two games).

 

[StreetHawk]

No Canuck on the roster knows the guy personally. Panthers players do.

 

[Regress2TheMeme]

Awesome news about Suter. Hope he can reclaim the form he had before getting injured before too long.

People who still cry conspiracy need to wake up, we lost as a team fair and square.

The revenge of Jonah Gadjovich

The Tkachuk boys always try to run the Hughes boys - bragging rights amongst childhood friends on the line. And as someone else said, the Panthers are one of the most penalized / misconduct collecting / borderline teams to play against. The Canucks need to be ready for a physical (and likely dirty) game.

Hope we pound them!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also, Suter being back is great. Hope he can pick up where he left off.

I thought the blueline did a great job of playing stiff against Tampa Bay. This will be a bigger test for them. Looking forward to seeing how our heavier defenders handle players like Bennett and Tkachuk down low.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Yup, Panthers should be a snarly bunch tonight after that shutout in Seattle. Expecting a tough game tonight.

We lost fair and square but the Bruins were not the better team. I stand by that. We lost it more than they won. It's not sour grapes either since I haven't lost over it in a decade. Just an honest assessment of that trainwreck of a series.

We still lost, at the end of the day we didn't win.

 

[supercanuck]

This is my fave too.

AQUA TWEET ALERT

 

[Shareefruck]

Great. Kuzmenko needs a Suter to even be halfway viable on the 4th line, whether he plays out his mind or not. Aman - Kuzmenko is a massive mismatch, so it makes all the sense in the world for him to come out instead of PDG.

Nah. The officiating crew and DOPS lost the plot that playoffs. Tampa got really bent over in their series and had every right to be salty as well. And Colin Campbell still had power and influence even when he stepped aside (he should have been canned after that ridiculous email he sent out to Stephen Walkom in 2010), which was a gross conflict of interest given one team having his son on the active roster.

I can accept the fact that we lost to a deep Bruins squad that would have a dominant core for many years after, but there was a lot of horse crap during that playoffs and officiating was piss poor and a departure from what we saw in the years prior. Same thing happened in 2013. We were probably going to lose San Jose anyways, but there was all sorts of non-sense that didn't help matters.

 

[oceanchild]

I’m going to call it now, Kuz with 2, ans Boeser with a goal.

We win 5-2 and play a solid game as we start to role.

How much have you been paid to say this???

(I want in!)

The NHL is the least professional of the 4 major sports by some margin, and the old boys club is strong. I agree with your assessment of Tampa that year and even when we were up 2-0 in the series I had a bad feeling about things.

Nice to see Suter back

Also I just landed in Taiwan, it’s 19 degree at 5:30am, f*** winter

It was pretty bad a huge mental lapse at the time, but that team had zero business being in the 2nd round. Our top 6 wingers that round was Pyatt, Naslund who really was on the decline, Jeff Cowan and Jan freaking Bulis. That team was comically bad and had zero reason to even be in the playoffs, let alone winning a series.

Luongo was superhuman that year and while his stats don't reflect it as being his best season, the eye test really showed how vital he was to being the backbone of the team. That team probably finishes bottom 5 in the league with anyone else in net.

I had completely blocked Taylor Pyatt out of my mind
