I can only imagine the terror those jerseys will wreak upon the league if made the main jerseys. I salute you all!!!!! The team has 5 forwards injured. And still fights like badgers. Varying recovery timelines. Staaay patent. Calm down. Good teams lose too. Go Canucks, &^@#ing Go!!!!!! 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You play to win you play Hughes over Tanev and EP over Bo. EP is responsible defensively and has speed to match up with McKinnon Do either Hughes or EP40 have the strength to contain Mac if he skates outside around them? Im befuddled.

Once MacKinnon gets a head of steam pretty much anyone is screwed Edited November 18, 2019 by flat land fish Autocorrect 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckleHorse Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Ziggy’s girl is not going to give Big Mac a chance because she don’t like violence and is against fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzukes Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Lol. It's not like Bo and EP are both incapable of covering MacKinnon. The guys got beat on one play because they weren't ready. This in depth analysis is silly. Either play or players could have just as easily got us a goal. We're talking 3on3 overtime. A stupid concept to begin with that has very little in common with real hockey. Edited November 18, 2019 by Gawdzukes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A stupid concept to begin with that has very little in common with real hockey. Might I add. The reasoning for starting Bo was to exploit Mac's low faceoff %. Win the draw, keep possession, low risk plays then run our EP's scoring line trio for the win. It was a low risk method that ended up not panning out. But I don't disagree with that. It would be much higher risk if EP's trio is matched up against Mac to start then lose puck possession. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacKinnon was not the one taking the face-off but Compher - through 3 periods Compher was 45% (5 for 11). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wins he can’t skate as he was gassed Captain hindsight... If he wins possession, let Miller go for a skate, while he changes on the fly, happens all the time... He was there for the draw, nothing more... Green played the odds... was it 26 of 29 draws, or something close to that. Tell me it's not favourable odds. Had he put Petey out to take the draw, you'd be saying, he was an idiot for not using the player, who had won about 90% of his draws during the match, regardless of how tired he was... and except for the last 4 minutes Petey had hardly burnt the house down on the night... I want see Petey as much as you do, and he is our most exciting player by far, but in OT starting possession is everything, as most drives ends with an attempt on goal... Just like it did with McKinnon... Edited November 18, 2019 by spook007 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one think the lines look good and focus on that instead of bashing LE. His position will sort itself out when Rousell, Motte and Ferland returns. Especially like the 3rd line with Baer - Gaudette - Leivo. That’s legit! We still need 1-2 top 6 wingers and a top pairing RD imo but then we’re on our way...
