WillyFox Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The team was handed this game on a platter with the late 5 on 3 from the refs just unacceptable not to even get a chance on that. What happend to the Sedins seems like they lost a step just not playing like the Sedins of 2 years ago.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsCanuck Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Blues are damn good. They play an amazing system and they all work hard. PP was good, glad we tied it late, Luongo needed to be better, defence still hasn't played 60 minutes, Twins are dominant, I hate shootouts. Onto Chi.

cmpunk Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Can we just stop this both goalies playing BS and just trade a damn goalie already? Like seriously, I'm sick of seeing a new thread pop up every time a starter is announced. I'm sick AV going to the next goalie each time that goalie does crap. It shows typical Canucks every time, losing faith in one, so off to the next. If we go in this years playoffs with both goalies, you can be sure that a cup is not coming here. We need another piece that will only come from a Schneider/Luongo trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 http://canucksarmy.c...ame-doesnt-work Canucks Army game recap. 1st line dominated for the 2nd straight game, which is great to see! Canucks outchanced Blues 20-9 overall (13 in the 3rd period alone) - which is absurd. Just ...... bad ...luck.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanBeef Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Guys worrying about Kassian please stop! The powerforwards we've gotten from Buffalo in previous years have all turned out great for us. Hopefully Kass can have the mean streak and grit of Pyatt and the shot accuracy and speed of Bernier. In all seriousness don't worry about Kassian, guys like Clowe and Bertuzzi (in NYI) were like this before they became known as great powerforwards. I still remember watching Clowe looking like Neely one game to looking like Glass in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brahma Bull Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 What are you going to say? Luongo's incredibly tall - his 5-hole is just big. It's not his fault he's tall. That said, he was very underwhelming tonight. It's am mystery as to who starts next game, since both goalies played quite badly in their last outings.

Lui's Knob Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The lack of pure sharp shooters is pretty obvious in the shootouts. Luongo in shootouts is sad to watch for many years now. Was Kassian put on waivers? Sure playing like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Onto Chicago - the biggest game of the season without a doubt. They're going for history and we've got a chance to end their run. If AV is smart he'll go with this starting lineup: Sedin - Sedin - Burrows (they're rolling right now) Raymond - Kesler - Booth (Mason has been our most consistent scorer lately, he deserves this) Hansen - Schroeder - Higgins Kassian - Lapierre - Volpatti Edler - Hamhuis (Edler on the left side, but it probably won't happen) Bieksa - Garrison Ballard - Tanev Luongo Luongo has to start. He is incredible playing in Chicago and this is a huge game - give it to the big-game goalie, not the inexperienced one whose confidence is shot right now after letting in 3 bad goals. Luongo always gets up for Chicago - he single-handedly won us our last game against them and he can do it again on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 I remember when Luongo used to be the best at shootouts, and every NHL coach wanted to have a goalie like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesman60 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Now that we are playing the better teams there should be little doubt that this team is not good enough and needs some tweaking. Does Edler know any other moves besides skating up to the opposition blueline and drop passing to someone else 20-30 ft behind him and letting them carry it in while he stands there motionless? We might as well have had Finn or a statue stand in goal for the shootout! Luongo played great during the game but he was horrible on the shootout tonight. Our guys didn't exactly do anything to strike terror into the Blues goalie during the shootout either. I hope they can get it done agaist Chicago.

smurf47 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The one rebound goal was a solid pad/toe save with Lu stretched out those will always be juicy rebounds and you need your d-man to get those. Rebound and quick goal for the Blues player in front. To me, not a bad rebound because of the tough initial save made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyzer Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 We're still 8-3-3 without our PP, with our D pooping the bed and with 2 top 6 out (well, 1 now) due to injuries. We're fine. Honestly, if the D start playing a tighter game and our forwards keep clicking like we have so far (as well as our special teams), we'll be fine. RELAX.
