We're very lucky that we won. Personally, I differentiate between what a coach should tell the team and what we need to fuss over as fans. Like others have pointed out: the context of back to back morning games on the road, a Rangers team with decent talent likely being read the riot act... there’s enough out there that a Rangers surge should be expected. Honestly, holding a 3-0 lead for a game and still coming out on top in shot differential is pretty amazing. They took it to us in the 3rd but I’d still say we outplayed them overall. Would have been nice if we had a little more fight but I think if we even just score that empty netter people’s view of the 3rd changes dramatically. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WHL rocks Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 Marky is a true top 10 goalie now. A good goalie gets you to playoffs and advance a round or two.. Canucks are a playoff team with goalies playing that well. Marky is in his prime.. Big money contract coming up for him.. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stopped skating is lazy commentary at best. And false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post fecklund Posted October 20, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2019 We're currently 4th overall in goals against, and 14th in goals for. Get both of those, along with the PP, into the top 10, and we're playing past April. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuckFather Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 A well rested goalie can make wonders. I hope we do give more games to Demko to keep Marky fresh as he could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could only imagine how miserable you'd be if we lost. Got the W move on. So did Lundqvist, they were lucky it wasn't 5-0 after 1. I'm very center whether we win or lose. For example, our first two games were losses and I was discussing many of the positives when most were upset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelownaCanucksFan Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Great first two periods terrible third, can thank Marky for that win. Hopefully my Seahawks can win and make this day even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all evens out. Pretty much how you have to look at it. Rangers were just as lucky based on how we were dominating play in the first two. Yet somehow we’re the luckier ones for getting badly outplayed in one period? I would say it ended up being a fairly even game in the end. Shouldn’t have been unexpected against a team desperate at home. Edited October 20, 2019 by DeNiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. In the GDT I felt like one of the few who was a little excited for some push back by the rags in the 3rd. It was a little more than I wanted but at this point I don’t think teams rolling over for us is realistic or helpful. We need to learn how to hold a lead and hopefully this game helps us in that area.. and Marky held us in for the 2 points to boot. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) A game of two tales....looked like they played "not to lose" rather than being a tired team in the third. They dominated the first two periods then quit skating in the third. If they were tired entering this game, then they should consider using their depth and play Gaudette and LE....however, this was not the case (them being tired)...they just quit skating and started to defend the lead.

Not tired entering the game....they came out, HARD, and established a good lead. Then, after having flown, played the day before in a morning game, giving their all out of the gates this game......they hit the wall. That was painfully obvious. So I disagree. They were defending the lead...I just don't think it was strategy as much as desperation. Honestly, I don't even care. They won, and I give them credit for that because the two points are what matters. They found a way to win the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got outworked in the 3rd by a fresh team, they didn't stop skating though. No one is arguing the Rangers won the 3rd period. Vancouver won the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not unlike the days of Luongo standing on his head and keeping us in games back in the day. Yup, Marky has become a legitimate #1. Remember when he acquired him for Luongo? We were all excited for Mathias, but Markstrom was sort of a throw in since he was lost in Florida. Amazing backstory IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, 82 game grind you can’t go 100% balls out all the time. Eventually, you need to learn how to defend the lead. Today we took a little too much off the gas but like DeNiro said, you can’t expect 2011 level total dominance from this group..... yet. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
