Popular Post wai_lai416 Posted December 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2019 i was at the game but i don't really feel the canucks "outplayed" the leafs.. on the scoreboard maybe.. but other than the 3 breakaways and the goal by leivo.. Andersson didn't really have to make a great safe all game.. sure there were a few deflected pucks towards him.. but those were all coming in slow motion.. more like fluttering towards him.. and the rest were clear looks by the goalie easy saves.. the leafs on the other hand.. on a more than a few occasions even though they didn't end up with a shot.. they were just passing the puck on a string in the canucks zone.. matthew deked around a defender on multiple occasion from the faceoff dot.. whatever on to the next... but they better start putting some wins together or they'll be out of the playoff by new years.. with calgary starting to look like the team from last year and arizona doesn't look like it's going anywhere.. i dunno if we'll have enough in the tank to compete against the nashville or vegas who both are underachieving and could get hot any time 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to prove something and make the playoffs sooner or later Why this negative ‘why should I... or what have you done for me lately’ attitude? Its not a about you should be excited, its a question of supporting your team through thick and thin, and by showing them support, you may actually get that little bit extra, to get them back in to the play offs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team as a whole still played really well and equalled their moments in controlling the puck in the Leaf's defensive end, and we were able to create chances off of Toronto's failed breakouts and turnovers on top of that. Sure Matthews might have deked around a player here and there, but I honestly expected a lot more considering the quality of their forwards. You have to expect those players being able to make those plays here and there every night. Not even taking into account that they have expensive quality wingers and even double stacking their top centers at during different shifts.

Hockey bag can be in used condition just so it’s a fair trade. Cheers Harry for lifting the mood. That’s the spirit amigo.

Kanukfanatic Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Canucks are pissing away games which is going to put them in a very tough race to make the playoffs. They can't afford to keep doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooo many un reliable players right now. Lievo is the king of those players get his azz off this team. So us having multiple breakaways? Toronto wasn't the big bad powerhouse and if Andersen hadn't stopped those, it would have been a different game. Gotta bury those, but "chances" means one team's playing as well as or better than the other. Andersen won them that game, plain and simple. Canucks played hard..especially in the first where they came out with jump and Ferland was engaged and keeping them in check. The Canucks also could have had 3-4 more goals. The Leafs did one thing we need to do more of (and it's how we did score on them)...plant in front of the net. TO got deflections. They also got luckier with bounces, etc....happens. Your anger is displaced. Was frustrating to lose to the Leafs, but your assessment isn't "the" (correct) one. Wasn't perfect but the effort was there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 It will go into the books as a loss but I saw a lot of positives. I might even suggest one of those games that will be looked Back on as a season setter. Hughes had a great game as he takes mega strides. The overall puck possession and offensive zone TOI was impressive. What becomes clearer as as the season progresses is the Van need for another top 4 d-man. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck-lifer Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 While Hughes and Myers looked great offensively, they are a risk in the D zone. Would like to go to Hughes - Tanev Fantenberg - Myers- Fantenberg has shown quite well so far Benn- Stecher To balance things out and bring some offense from all of the pairings until Edler returns. Trading a winger for another 6-7 D man has to be top priority for them as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Boeser Could've gone either way really, but Andersen was better than Markstrom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Trying to figure out why the Canucks played the perimeter game against Toronto. Is Muzzin that fearsome of a defenseman that no Canuck forward wanted to get into the dirty areas? The roster should still have enough heft to stake out a piece of the ice around the net rather than firing muffins from the hashmarks. Something Green is going to have to figure out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The only way to beat Andersen last night, it seemed, was to clog the crease and get the garbage goals. Leivo did it, but that was it. Sure, the Canucks took a lot of shots, but they were easy saves for Andersen, because no one was screening etc. Shots taken from 25-30 feet out with no screen? Easy peasy. AND, going for the glove hand over and over, really? The two Johns (Garrett and Shorthouse) were saying the Canucks weren't getting the bounces, while the Leafs did. That's true to a point, but it's also an excuse for a losing team. The Canucks missed a lot of opportunities. Seems they might have a Loui 2.0 in Ferland. Well, a mish-mash of Loui and Olli. Big contract, and can't produce or stay healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
