nux4lyfe Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Stalock made some pretty good saves combined with crappy reffing the nux had no chance. Edited August 3, 2020 by debluvscanucks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie Interference Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 11 hours ago, NorthWestNuck said: I’ve come to realize that as good as Miller is, if the opposition gets an early jump, it can be really easy to get Miller frustrated and off his game. I used to play with a guy who was often the best player on the ice--super skilled, tenacious, fearsome competitor. When we had a late start, though, and he had a couple of beers in the parking lot beforehand, his game was off. Still good but slower, not as sharp, prone to falling. That's how J.T. Miller looked to me in Game 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the one with Jake, he's able to go off wing where he's always been a better scorer or play maker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of an observation of how a triangle works but ... or do you simply mean play with depth and don't get caught in the same tangent ... because that's way different than setting up a triangle Edited August 3, 2020 by Gawdzukes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post luckylager Posted August 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) That heat map tells the story of one team that couldn't get through some tough ass D that held their box vs a team that pushed their opponents D back. I wonder which is which eh. It's pretty obvious Jake would be an ideal addition to the line up. He's fast and strong enough to break through and park his big butt right on top of the crease, also push the d back on the forecheck. His hitting prowess, if used properly, would rush their d a bit too and hopefully cause some hurried/poor descions. Canucks couldn't execute for $&!# last night. Passing was garbage and most of their shots came without a net front presence as our forwards weren't in front quickly enough, or were just not strong enough to gain position. Minny plays a boring, tight structure but it can be beaten with speed and a heavy forecheck. Could probably blow them out if we can actually get guys deep enough to allow for shots from the circles down. I can think of 3 shifts were we managed to control the puck down low and it caused Minny to scramble. If we could have sustained that type of pressure we could have opened them up, but the net front presence on those shifts (Miller, Pearson) got boxed out hard and fast.

ruilin96 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 After a whole night, I can finally come down to writing a review for last night's game. Yes, the officiation is horrible, but this is not the only reason we lost the game. The Canucks got sucked into the Wild's game plan, which was playing that boring line-matching physical style game. If the Canucks want to win the series, they must readjust and dicate the flow of the game themselves by forcing the Wild to play a speed game. The Canucks play at their best when they can utilize their speed and skill and penetrate the high danger shooting area. We need players to skate with the puck and take it hard to the net, create net front presence and score the dirty goals. Wear down the Wild D by throwing the puck into the corner area, forcing the Wild players to get the puck and then hamer them with hit after hit after hit to wear them down. Stay out of the box, be discipline, and patient for our chance to get on the PP and the PP must get going quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I actually picked the Wild to win the 1st game in the prediction thread. Didn't think we'd get shutout.. I've been saying all week.... Structured, gritty, size, defensively sound team with veteran leadership.. they do great board work in the offensive zone. Spurgeon is a heck of a player and is a hidden gem in hockey because he plays in Minny. Their coach has them playing the type of game that wins in playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davathor Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Keep sutter up, sit pearson and roussell for mac and virt Terrible showing, nobody going to the tough spots or even the slot... 80% of shots from the defenceman? Green needs to get over the dump and chase cycle game, it hasn't worked since before the Sedins retired. Just garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 If they can get the lead in game 2 it will force Minny to open up and their d will take more chances. When that team has a 2 goal lead they are tough to crack. They need to selectively target some of their better players and make them miserable. A guy like Dumba should have a target on his back. Problem is that our heavier punishing players are on the bottom 2 lines and those lines seem to get worked in our d zone all night. Maybe need to give Ferly or Jake a few shifts on the top 2 lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.I.A.H.N Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 These are 2 very equal teams, which is amazing in that it did not look like it.... I attribute it to coaching and execution, which is game plan I equate this to the maturity of our game changers in some way, as Pettersson, and Hughes had absolutely no time to move and set up Minni did this by closing the gap and giving Pettersson and Hughes no room This of course was done to all our players, which have even less skill than our dynamic duo............so what was our adjustment?..........nothing! Stay the course........which is where I find in general that Green and company fail at miserably, when put in that position........... There is room out there, you just have to find it, which is hard if you don't know where to look this is where interference, stretch passes, speed and players that can skate through their neutral zone interference come in handy. Basically, once gaining control in your own zone, long stretch passes with your wingers busting and beating out icing calls, stretches out their defense, and creates room But this can not be done if, our guys are not interfering with their forecheck prior to us getting control. It is a game plan, and needs to be practiced regularly. IMO, what Minni did was play playoff hockey. prepared and dedicated Sorry to say, but it was coaching and game plan.......as I said in my first remarks They are 2 very even teams 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks were significantly outplayed. They made bad passes and shot it wide all night. Stalock got a 28-save shutout, but only a few of the shots were dangerous.
