Both VGK pp units only have one play, puck to defenseman at the blue line, pass to Pacioretty/Martinez on the right circle for one timer at tight angle, rinse and repeat. At least once every Canucks pp Horvat gets a point blank shot right in the slot.
Vancouver should be thrilled with that 1st period. They're even after withstanding an onslaught. Knights are going to be kicking themselves not taking advantage of it.
There are still a lot of shots from wide and outside. Focus on quality over quantity. Demko seems to be handling high quantities of mediocre shots fine.
Demko making 3-4 high end saves. Still not getting any bounces. Just need the first one to show they can and Canucks won't be able to turtle opening it up more.
Honestly, i have seen the 2017 Sens do this when they were one goal away from the finals.
Got completely outshot and dominated when it came to puck control, but kept the opposing team on the outside and the goalie played great. It also helped that Karlsson was outstanding in those playoffs as well.
It sucks to watch when your the team that is outshooting and what not.
I just don't know if the Knights have the ability to overcome this.
