Post-Game Talk: Habs def. Canucks - 6-2 (Beagle, Gaudette)

[M2Beezy]

Montreal almost DOUBLED us in give aways and we OUT hit them, so we won the morale battles

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

The piling on on Chatfield is kind of sad. Yeah he had a poor game, but he’s also a rookie. The hell is the rest of the team’s excuse?

I love the Lotto Line, but they were god awful this evening.

Our team defense looks non existent. We’ve got players who can clearly play it, but the way it’s gone to absolute hell against Montreal is something to behold.

If I were Holtby, I’d be choked. So many breakaways and odd man rushes on him from brain dead turnovers.

The coaches need to feel some heat for this. Green, Baumgartner, etc seem to have no response to the Habs’ structure and pressure.

Sometimes bad games just happen, folks!

I've never seen a team gift wrap as many goals as this team has to Montreal even during the tank years. It's so weird we're literally giving them breakaway after breakaway like it's a shootout.

Watched the last period, and some highlights.

Exceptionally painful to say the least.

 

[M2Beezy]

Looks like the team needs Roussell and Eriksson more than we thought

 

[Zippgunn]

People were blaming the goaltending

I know, unbelievable. How many breakaways did Holtby STOP? Yet someone actually posted "Holtby sucks" in the GTD. 40 shots on goal, at least 15 of them clear cut gimmies. Blows my mind.

 

[Bad Goalie]

I like the player, but only in a specific role, and as a compliment to a very skilled partner.

That would be a very difficult trick within the Canucks D-corps

 

[Zippgunn]

You jest but deep down inside you know it's true...

 

[CherryToke]

Certainly don't need Virtanen or Gaudette

 

[mathonwy]

Completely dissolving into a pond hockey structure where everyone is doing something different is a new thing.

I've never seen this.. whatever it is... before.

 

[Nucker101]

Any decent forechecking teams eats the Canucks and their “system” alive.

 

[tantalum]

Chatfield is barely an AHL d-man. Let alone an NHL d-man.

Yet they entered the season with him as the number 8 guy. That’s a roster player expected to see significant time. Tells you all you need to know about management really.

Fully agree on all levels. The teams D absolutely blows. Part of that is due to the god awful personnel but awful coaching is doing them no favours right now.

 

[Bad Goalie]

Holtby was in net bub

What the Hell does that have to do with your -9 confusion over Petey's line?

 

[Kryten]

Sometimes bad games just happen, folks!

36.3 shots against per game. Next closest is PHI with 33.7, the rest of the teams are separated by decimal points from each other. When you separate from the pack in a bad way, its not a bad game. Somethings rotten

 

[M2Beezy]

What the Hell does that have to do with your -9 confusion fover Petey's line?

You quoted the WRONG post bub, please try in paay attention from now on

But yeah, Millsy -3, PBP -3 and Boeser -3

-9 total, BRUTAL

 

[EpochLink]

Baumgartner has been with us how many years now? His coaching or lack their of is a problem.

What are the tank years?

Ownership cheaping out in the wrong areas

Travis just made a comment about insanity. Going into a game with no plan is insanity.

 

[Fatass]

I think he’d be okay with Schmidt.

 

[Fatass]

He can't do that when the opponent is on him from the getgo. Hard checking fast to the puck teams eat him up.That's when you see shit like tonight and a couple times at least in every game before this. His poor passing and poor hands lead to turnovers big time.

I always loved his work ethic , but he is missing the skills that go with it that would make him a good D-man.

Is he simply a younger Biega?

 

[sting101]

This killed me bahahahha

 

[M2Beezy]

What are the tank years?

The years we loaded up on prospects and picks by dumping contracts
