Post-Game Talk: Stars def. Canucks - 4-3 (OT) - Garland, Boeser, Joshua

[cc]

Not having kuzy available just takes away another option to shake up the lines a little when the top lines aren't generating much

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I’m sure Kuzmenko will be back next game. The effort was there today but not enough to get the other point.

Kuzmenko draws in.
Hoglander draws out.
PDG gets 5:58 of ice time.

 

[valkynax]

Nope, you'll get 7 mins of PDG being utterly useless and you'll like it

I'm gonna drown your pet gold fish!

"Not on your life, my Hindu friend."

What about Myers brain-dead plays?

 

[Donuts]

I havent checked the stats pts leaders but Im guessing Ep is still in top 10 in nhl or close . Thats how good he is considering he doesnt have LEGIT top 6 wingers to play with. Lafferty, Suter Kuz... Mikheyev is ok but Id rather Allvin upgrade EP's line especially for playoffs

And management wants to sign EP long term...
Work your magic Allvin. Get EP legit top 6 wingers to play with.

"Not on your life, my Hindu friend."

Was that from...the monorail song????

 

[ddawg1950]

I think Cheech used to call this "managing your losses."

Agreed, I feel like this is just as important as a getting a top 4 D.

The funnies joke these days is listening to Oilers fans saying the Canucks have had a soft scedule when the Oilers are about to play their FIRST b2b game this season tomorrow. Canucks have had 5 of them already

im just really protective toward EP these days cause i think he's been much better recently but not getting enough praises

It’s all good, there cup this year is watching us lose

 

[Szechwan]

Time to put the back court violation into OT. Being able to skate back into your own end to avoid the slightest hint of traffic is killing it.

At least they have the draft lottery to look forward to...

They definitely need to go back to the drawing board with 3vs3. Coaches have optimized it down to an incredibly boring science. I'd actually rather just go to the shootout and that's not great either.

Anywho, it sucks to lose but we really needed deserve a point. 11 shots until what, the 10 minute mark of the third? While Demko let in some questionable goals, we certainly weren't giving him much to work with. Granted, I am getting a little worried with that. Hopefully the holiday break lets him settle down cause he's been a bit too inconsistent at times.

 

[Wisp]

bring back 4 v 4 OT.

 

[Vector]

2-0-2 is damn good result considering this road trip started with a back-to-back without the usual two-day rest and both games being afternoon affairs. I would have been happy with a 2-2-0 road trip.

No matter what happens the rest of the month, Canucks have got more results out of December than October. They didn’t cool down so much as heat right back up. 16 points with the possibility of hitting 20 before the month is over. They could get to 50 points before it’s 2024. Incredible.

 

[Wisp]

Oilers fans thinks PDO means we have to give them those points back and their goalies are going to start making saves.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

bring back 4 v 4 OT.

Bring back the Sedins in 4 v 4 OT.

I'd prefer a hardest shot competition

 

[DFAC]

Am I crazy to think that Joshua shouldve just shot that instead of passing to Petey in OT?

 

[Slapshot_11]

Bring back jason king

Am I crazy to think that Joshua shouldve just shot that instead of passing to Petey in OT?

Yes, but not for that reason

 

[potatowejj]

Am I crazy to think that Joshua shouldve just shot that instead of passing to Petey in OT?

No. One too many passes. Pettersson should’ve shot at the start or Joshua should’ve shot. Pettersson also should’ve made the goalie bite a bit more initially.

 

[Josepho]

I'd be curious what the 2-on-0 conversion rate is for guys with massive skill differences that aren't on the same line.

I feel like any player in Joshua's situation would've passed it back there.

 

[David71]

terrible game. it was a defensive battle. put kuzy back in. sit pdg. sit cole.

 

[JT Milker]

I would prefer they get rid of shootouts and just play 3 on 3 until someone scores. Want to go home? Do something.

 

[m9]

Again, each time Kuz is scratched for reasons, they often put up efforts like this.

Really? They played great when he was scratched vs Seattle and also played well v Nashville. This game wasn't great but they got a point vs a good team at the end of a road trip tonight. They were bad v SJ when he was out, for sure. It was back to back but they should still beat San Jose.
