We're very lucky that we won. I wouldn’t say we’re very lucky. They earned that win. Luck had nothing to do with it. If that were the case you could say the Rangers were lucky we let them back in the game. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's freaking out and we did win the game. The third was ugly but being critical of a team is one thing...being unrealistic in what they can do, physically and under the circumstances, is another. It's ok to be critical. I'm being critical of your assessment of things...because there are reasons they stopped skating. Their legs were jelly at that point and they gave it what they could. Context is important when being critical. I agree they were tired, I'm just not buying that's the only reason our third was bad. We stopped skating.

Criticism is fine if it's logical, ignoring the fact it's the second game on a back to back against a fresh team that has lost 3 straight and chalking it up to complacency is laughable at best. New York has a good top 6 and their backs are against the wall they're not going to go down easy especially against a tired team. That is all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be critical when necessary, even if we win. Once again, if Marky didn't win this game for us, everyone on these boards would be freaking out right now. Not sure how any of us could argue the Canucks stopped moving in the third. They did stop. They destroyed the Rangers in the first two periods and it could have been 6 - 0 instead of 3 - 0. Not sure what happened in the 3rd....some here are blaming fatigue. I put some blame on the 10am pacific starts (2 in a row). Doesn't matter at the end of the day. We won and got 2 points. What an insane game lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecklund Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 We hit Detroit on Tuesday, then have a 2 day breather before next game Friday. Another win on this trip would sure be nice. I'd put Gaudette back in, since we looked pretty spent after these last 2 games... but I have a feeling the team is at least contemplating leaving him in NY.

I did wish that their spacing between the defensemen were a little closer. They gave them a little bit too much room. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't have enough energy in the third. That's why they played that way. Do you think that Green wants the canucks to play that way in the third, when even he says the first 2 periods were the best he's seen his team play since he's been coach. I think you're one of those people who will never be satisfied with anything unless they play perfectly (which no team ever does). There's always gonna be a complaint about something. Uh yeah I'm complaining because if it wasn't for Markstrom we would not have won this game. Not buying it, the New Jersey game was broken hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DeNiro Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 Anyone thinking this team is going to cruise through teams at this stage need to stop living in 2011. This team is young and still learning what it takes to play at a high level for 82+ games. If they can come out with 2 points while still learning a lesson it’s a win win. Games like this will only make them better. 1 5 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Tired team. Back to back early morning starts. They were expected to run out of gas in the 3rd and they did. Even in evening games teams run out of gas in the 3rd period when playing on back to back nights. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're lucky. Lucky we have a good goalie in net I guess you could say. Rangers were lucky to have Lundqvist in net as well. Game could have been out of reach if not for quite a few key saves in the second. Edited October 20, 2019 by DeNiro 1 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're lucky one period of good play was enough to even get them close. Could only imagine how miserable you'd be if we lost. Got the W move on.

Not buying it, the New Jersey game was broken hockey. Markstrom outplayed Lundqvist. News flash: If a goaltender outplays the other, most likely that goaltender will win. Just because the game was "broken hockey" doesn't mean it doesn't take energy to play in it. It was a fairly chippy game. I don't even think that game was "broken" as you put it. The Canucks didn't capitalize on their PP chances, and NJ blocked A LOT of shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Unlucky to be up by only 2 after the second, lucky that they didn't tie it in the third. It all evens out. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's logical to suggest there was another factor at play, then to just chalk up to 'we were tired'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
