actually?

It's the inconsistency with that call that's the issue. Burkie said it right away in the panel. You don't call that penalty this deep into the playoffs after letting it go up until then. It was a soft call.

Those are so bad they almost seem fake. Marchessault should be embarrassed about how bad his comebacks are, let alone embarrassing his team and the NHL in the middle of the playoffs. What a goof.

Fair enough. But the funny thing is PK ice time by game draws the exact same conclusion. I'm not sure how this will format but here goes nothing: PP minutes PP seconds per game Beagle 42 29% 234 29% Motte 41 29% 227 28% Sutter 28 20% 158 20% eriksson 21 15% 125 16% Miller 11 8% 62 8% Total 143 806 The "go to" penalty killers that Green prefers rank: 1) Beagle 2) Motte 3) Sutter 4) Eriksson 5) Miller Of the regular penalty killers, Eriksson is the guy that Green puts out the least. Which is not surprising if you actually watch Loui play and not just repeat the same old talking points over and over again, that he is some kind of defensive specialist on this team (I'm not referring to you, but the original post) It's kind of beating a dead horse at this point though, I don't think we'll see Loui for the rest of the playoffs barring any (knock on wood) serious injury.

I guess this really blows up a lot of the league conspiracy theories eh? Being that Bettman's non-traditional hockey market teams get special treatment. It's almost like the league is run by a board of governors consisting of mostly the owners of every single NHL team, and Bettman just carries out their wishes.

JT Miller has been a huge part of this run. No idea he'd be such a playoff stud.

"WOW , only two minutes for Jake" Are you effing kidding me? Yes only two minutes he got jumped by a Vegas goon for finishing a hit and a little bit of what the knights have been doing all game. Good call getting it right for once refs

Do any of the knee jerk reaction threads age well?

I wonder if the guy he's chirping can even understand what he's saying? He's got that thick French accent like Burrows

What?

Where do people get this "he's a go to on the PK" mentality from? In terms of our penalty killers, TOI on the penalty kill goes to: Beagle: 42 minutes Motte: 41 minutes Sutter: 28 minutes Eriksson: 21 minutes JT Miller even has 11 minutes and he also plays on the powerplay. He is definitely nowhere even close to the coaches "go to", and he's really only being used there because he's absolutely useless offensively. The coach was using him as a top 6 forward for a good chunk of the St Louis series (coaches fault, not Loui's I know), and it was glaringly obvious that he didn't belong in that role. He is marginally better as a defensive forward, but to praise him like some defensive specialist is just flat out wrong. Eriksson belongs on the bench after his play in the first 2 series. He has been a non factor on both ends of the ice. Period.

Wow perron asked why they lost and he immediately throws his teammates under the bus for not playing with enough energy. What a turd.

Very bad. Stewart was trying to defend him in the intermission, but that may have cost him the series and his job.

Can someone compile a list of everyone who wrote off the Canucks after game 4? Maybe ban them for the rest of the playoffs?

Brock having his game of the series tonight, looking like the boeser we know he can be. Getting right into it.

Horvats hit on perron made my night!!! What a solid hit to the boards on a total puke of a player

Coach moves boeser to the left circle. Immediately scores a goal. Greens line mixing tonight has the blues coach scratching his head. Also thank thank thank you for playing binnington.

Canucks finishing all of their checks. Good hockey being played tonight

I'm just happy Loui got relocated to the bottom 6 where he belongs. The fact that Jake came in and had an awesome game is just icing on the cake.

Truculent

It's been pointed out already but Brock isn't playing that position on the powerplay, he's usually put down low. Miller has the spot on the left wall.

That's the only stat that matters. There was another one when we were playing Minny about the winner of the first game in a best of 5 series having an X% chance of winning the series. And here we are playing the Blues with a 2-2 series tie...

He was missing a ton of screws. Like a BBQ bought from Canadian Tire

Even if he doesn't hit the net, just taking those shots wears the other team down. Every one of those blocked shots is a potential broken bone, bruise etc. If guys want to stand in front of our shots and you can't get around them, you go through them.
