Playing Vancouver and Ottawa is exactly that.
You still don't get that it's the other end, the top teams that makes the difference. We don't get to play any of the top 10 teams, except a borderline Toronto. Instead, we're battling bubble teams and bottom teams. In each other division, there at least 3 teams better or equal to Toronto.
Anyway, you'll see next year. Unless there are major defenders added to the division assemble, if the normal format returns, I expect only Toronto to battle for a top 10 spot.
I wonder how much time he concentrates on training his release.
If you want to score, you need to constantly practice everyday. Shoot hundreds of pucks from all angles and manners. Ted Williams became one of the best hitters by spending his teens and early 20's batting hundreds of balls each day. Brett Hull poured 2 to 3 buckets each day for years. They were phenoms, but the point is, talent is never developed without intense practice and focus.
It just seems like Lekhonen has a very good shot, but is inconsistent, which tells me he doesn't spend nearly enough time practicing it.
The 3rd goal although deflection that might go in regardless, Price looked awful on that one. I don’t even know what position or what he was trying to do there. He looked completely off balanced, I think that’s one he would like to have back.
Unless your aunt had balls but felt he's a lady.
It was a great tip, but you see the player there attempting a deflection you try to get square and cover as much net as possible. I think he misread this play badly.I'd have to take a look again, but that just looked like a classic case of a goalie getting his wires crossed because of the deflection on initial viewing. It was a great tip by Horvat.
Canucks of late have beaten Winnipeg, Edmonton, Ottawa twice and the mighty Leafs twice.....we took 3 out of a possible 4pts.....this wasn’t the Sabres
Yeah, no one seems to be able to win 4-5 games in a row. Might as well stop expecting this and just win out fair share. I love this format because it makes for great drama.Habs need min 8 but preferably 10-of-14 points over next 2-weeks IMO, to put themselves in a solid spot for the stretch drive post-deadline
they're still a bunch of flakes in OT but hopefully they turn the corner now. Only 8 reg losses is pretty impressive. They need to plug the D quickly and hope Toffoli is back
The danault line was good. There was a point in the 3rd period where that line was up 9-1 in shots versus the canucks, and they had several extended zone time shifts throughout the game. I don't know what the shots ended up for that line, but I don't think they let up at any point.
Gallagher just had one of those Gallagher games where just wasn't going to be denied. It wasn't quite like that bubble game against Philly when he broke his jaw, but he seemed to have a similar mood.
Danault haters are curiously missing in action tonight... just incapable of giving any praise even when warranted.
Still think we shouldn’t re-sign him unless he takes a significant pay cut, he’s not worth anywhere near what Bergevin offered, and the term is even worse.Yeah it boggles my mind why there is no hate on Danault when he finally got his head out of his ass.
Pull...ease
Last 2 I promise.
Its nice to see what pure talent is , have to be honest, we rarely tasted that in the last few decades.Perry in the shootout though. Wow. Unreal hands on that guy. No wonder he won a Hart.
Yeah, I remember Réjean working his arse off, wearing his three piece helmet LOL. But man, it was godawful seeing him miss empty net after empty net. Poor guy. 62 is the same. After Gally, he's probably the 2nd hardest worker on the team, but man, oh, man. Couldn't hit a target 3 feet from him.
I've never had an issue with that. But I also don't lose any sleep over it. He did make his own bed.Still think we shouldn’t re-sign him unless he takes a significant pay cut, he’s not worth anywhere near what Bergevin offered, and the term is even worse.
a team with him on the top 2 lines will not win a cup.

Despite his goal, I Thought it was Suzuki’s worse game of the season. Soft plays at both blue lines, multiple turnovers in key parts of the ice leading to goals against and scoring chances and most important, playing a slow game. He’s not processing the flow of play fast enough and aside from occasional spurts of cleverness, he’s a step behind the play. Though it may be heresy, Suzuki may no longer be the untouchable asset that everyone has come to see him as.
