Post-Game Talk: Skid hits 6 - Flames def. Canucks - 3-1 (Boeser)

[VanillaCoke]

Markstrom good.

Better than Holtby, as predicted.

 

[tantalum]

Nothing on the PP + second best goaltender = loss for a team that goes as those two things go.

 

[Peen]

Morrisson is absolutely right. The canucks were dejected after the third goal.

Shots went from 31-17 to 31-26 before they pulled the goalie

 

[DropTheGloves]

Yeah have to admit I had a good chuckle at that.

Very good performance tonight. Slight drop-off in the third when trying to push for the come-back goals, but they carried play throughout.

Can't fault the PK or Demko in this one. Two unlucky bounces off of shots that were headed well wide. Refs didn't help the Canucks either, both with strange calls against and missed non-calls (Lucic on Bailey & Tkachuk on Hoglander two clear examples)

Good to see the high compete-level. If the Canucks continue to play like this they will make the playoffs.

I don’t know about you guys but the third period is the best I’ve seen from Pettersson since fall 2018. He made like 5-6 of those watermark super crisp plays where you wanna rewind just to check how on earth he pulled that off, including balancing on the blue line and deking three guys with no space and an empty net behind him. Finding shot opportunities and firing like his life depended on it. This... is... promising...

Take away the three game series vs an abysmal Ottawa team and we have the same record as the Sens.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Wow every cloud has a darker greyer shittier lining

This is the Canucks we are talking about. We could finish dead last with the highest lottery odds and I guarantee you we’d become the first team in history to experience a lottery glitch that booted us out of the top 5 or 10 altogether.

 

[VanJack]

We might have picked the right year to tank....rules have been changed and the bottom three teams in the league have a far greater shot at the first overall pick.

Just another routine loss tonight. Lost in all the hand-wringing about team defense is the fact the Canucks have only scored one goal in each of their last three games.

But that's always the story of a losing hockey team. One night you lose because you can't keep the puck of your own net. Another night's it's because you can't score. Sometimes the other goalie beats you, like tonight. But the impact is the same, another loss.

I get so tired thinking of another three games against the Flames. Afraid to say I'm just becoming less and less invested in this season.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Beautiful. Keep it up boys.

the season is f***ed so it’s just high pick and a Benning and Green firing to look forward to.

Imagine Stecher and Tanev on the blue line instead of Myers.

 

[wonton15]

We didn't play terrible but it's clear that we're just not that good. Markstrom looks so positionally sound and calming.

Hoglander has an insane motor. This guy creates every single time he touches the puck (and even when he doesn't). He's going to be so good wow.

[Peen]

I thought he was good the whole game.

He looked back to his old self.

Whole team was good until calgary scored the third.

 

[RealGudbranson]

Imagine Stecher and Tanev on the blue line instead of Myers.

This saddens me.

Which is concerning, because the team's ability to claw back into games was one of their better aspects last year. They don't seem to have any of that same swagger to come back this year. Though I wonder how much of that is the loss of confidence from not playing in front of Marky.

Benning is more likely in incite an insurrection at GM Place in the coming weeks then make a good trade

At least we got a solid season out of him.

Sbisa..
Eriksson..
NoGoodBranson..
Myers (at least he didn't suck like those other two that one season).

Holtby was terrible...

f***ing shame he didn’t get on the board tonight

Holtby was terrible...

f***ing invisible out there tonight

It would be such Canuck luck to finally get the 1st overall in a draft with no Junior season too.
