Post-Game Talk: WCQF GM02 | Vancouver Canucks lose to Nashville Predators | 4-1 (Zadorov) | Stars Can't Score

How funny would it be if Tocchet got Myers sick

demko "week-to-week" now whatever that means

 

[B-rock]

The odds of losing this game are probably 99 to 1.

They had 3 goals on 13 shots and gave up 90+ shot attempts.

On the flip side we had 7 shots halfway through the 2nd, and that’s with 3 power plays.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Problem, in the playoffs, is you gotta get a save on a couple of good chances. If you get no real saves in good chances you are gonna lose.

That’s fair. You do need your goaltender on average to prevent 1-2 gimmes a game.

 

[Hammer79]

week to week... oh no

 

[biturbo19]

Oh f*** off with this post-game though. The Canucks have the flu? That kind of explains some of it. But of course they'd get run through with a stupid virus in the middle of trying to do playoffs.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

"Week to week" isn't good. That means he's likely done for the year.

 

[Red]

myers with the flu is probably back on friday

but now you have to worry about the flu making its way through the team slowly over the next week

f***

 

[potatowejj]

Demko out for the playoffs, a game like that, and a flu running through the team? Good lord how f***ing cursed can you get?

f***

That's what won us the series vs the Blues in 2003.

All this being said, I do think its kinda funny the GDT is 50% SHOOT!! STOP PASSING!! and the other 50% is WHY IS EVERYTHING BEING BLOCKED!! As if the solution to defenses over-committing to shot-blocking isnt passing (with the inverse also being true - overcomitting to the shot makes it all the easier to block), lol

Never forget St. Louis vs Vancouver 2003!

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Yup Demko is done. No sense whining about it anymore. The boys know what needs to be done.

Time to see what we're made of!

 

[TruGr1t]

Typical game for the Canucks. Set a post-season record for most shot attempts but also a record for most missed shots and I’m sure the Preds set some sort of record for blocked shots.

Nobody gives a shit about your offensive zone possession time or underlying metrics if you can’t score.

Team is obviously well coached, which leads to relatively good underlying metrics, but if you score less you lose the game.

demko "week-to-week" now whatever that means

One week or another we're gonna get him...get him get him get him get him.

 

[Red]

tocchet saying he won't change much

um the PP needs to be rebuilt from the ground up

I'm impressed. It was over 3000 posts!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Ugh. Myers is probably not the only guy on the team who has the flu.

Upside is preds will have it by Friday too

 

[Scumbag Frank]

DeSmith is now 1-5 in his last 6 (with meltdowns in LA and Vegas) and has been .875 in the last 2 months since the Minnesota meltdown

McDavid put up 5 points on LA yesterday. Even if we get past Nashville, the writing is on the wall for this year.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Well this was going to happen eventually. Not a single bounce or deflection went in our favour. This team needs to learn to score the hard ugly way. Way too much hesitation and perimeter passing. It almost looked like the ice itself was bad on some bounces. Nashville collapsed well and buried their few chances. Canucks carried the play and owned the ice most of the game.

Don't want to be too hard on EP, but he does need to simplify his game and go to the net more - his linemates too. Thought Hughes played well and was solid at both ends of the ice.

 

[Bleach Clean]

I think they are trying to beat goalie with perfect shots, that’s why they are holding on the puck for that extra second to get that perfect shot in. They just need to accept they just need to keep moving and throw shit on net. You throw 30-40 shots on net and Saros is going to f*** up.

That's the way this team can win, but you have to get more than 1 in 5 shots on net to do it.

Even a shot that doesn't register as a high danger chance would be welcome if it were on net. Make the goalie make a save.

 

[Hammer79]

Never forget St. Louis vs Vancouver 2003!

flu virus came in clutch for us that year. Too bad we choked a 3-1 lead to the Wild in the next round.

 

[biturbo19]

Oh wow...well, at least RickyTok saw exactly what we did. So now it's just...how does he adjust things. Get them to SHOOT. THE. PUCK.

I don't think anyone expects us to win the cup now. But that doesn't matter. All that matters is winning on Friday in Nashville. It's the playoffs. Anything can happen.
