Post-Game Talk: 'Worst' defenseman in the league scores OT winner: 3-2

[Zombotron]

Schneider has been on fire leading the league in starts with a very good SV% but I really do believe Bo has a very bright future and it will end up being a fine trade for both.

Schneids is a gentleman and an extremely-likeable player whom I will miss for a long time, but I'm sold on Bo's potential.

 

[Nuckles]

Let's not forget that first goal was not good at all. But yes he played well when needed and was big on the big plays for us.

I will cut him some slack for that, it was his first game in 21 days.

Me too, I like it more when we're all happy for a bit.

Hey, we still complained about the twins during their Art Ross days. Let's not break consistency now.

One team needed a goaltender long term. One team needed a centre long term.
Makes a lot of sense now. But two years ago probably hard to fathom when considering the time put into developing an elite tender only to trade him. But if you get at least the closest we've had to an elite prospect in like decades.
Hard to even imagine a time when the Canucks had more then 1 player under 21 on roster full time

The rest of the team not scoring lol

 

[tc 23]

Higgins, Bonino, vey, Matthias, Kassian, Bieksa, Gas prices

Don't forget the tanking Canadian dollar too!

 

[Canucks LB]

Clenny can pass, it's rare for a players best trait in the NHL to be passing, not exactly playmaking per-say, but crisp hard accurate passing.

Interesting player, Can he turn into a top 4 guy, or just a PP specialist. I am not sure, had a rough start to the game, but played really well in the final 30 minutes.

 

[684]

Well Hamhuis sucked tonight.
Kassian was so bad it was like he wasn't even playing.
Clendening is a disaster in his own end.
Lack's first goal was terrible.
Miller needs a haircut.
Higgins.

I'm all about the end of that game.

 

[OscarsCards]

I thought that Kenins ****ed up with that penalty, but he payed back with a goal.

God dayuuum I'm soooo happy. Happy, like I'm riding the rainbows on a unicorn in the kingdom of Stanley and in the clear blue sky Kenins shines instead of sun.

****ng priceless moment.

 

[WTG]

Higgins.......

Oh yeah I remember

He missed an open net dish from Clendenning

 

[Orca Smash]

I thought kenins played a very good physical game until the penalty, I did not like the penalty he took but he made up for it later.

I never knew about Kenins before we signed him and even then knew very little before the Olympics.

He's been a great sparkplug with an unbeatable work ethic.

Go mighty Latvia!

I'm still not exactly happy with this game.

The team is consistent... at being meh.

- Sedins (+Burrows/Vrbata) will produce at the same pace.
- The bottom 9 will do absolutely nothing being spoon-fed ice-time.
- Rookies are going to have to force the coach and management any icetime. Horvat and Kenins who were our best players outside of our top line got 10 minutes of ice time (0 on the PP).

- Edler and Tanev will keep this team from imploding.
- 2nd and 3rd pair are inconsistent defensively.
- The entire D is useless at starting the break/creating any offense (Glendening is a nice upgrade here though).

Willy D needs to change the line-up when necessary and it's extremely obvious that it needs to demote Higgins/Vey/Matthias/Bonino for more Horvat icetime (and for the love of Gillis sarcasm get Kassian some play time).

I like discussion and there is still plenty to discuss about. We already know the goods - I'm still happy about the win. Stupid that I have to say this to ensure no stupid "can't you enjoy the win" "negative nancy" posts.
