  1. Petey as a winger is a good thing. He can simplify his game and focus on offense rather than having to be a center with defensive responsibility. Might be just what he needs.
  2. Brock seems to take a while to get back to playing well after every break whether covid or injury. He was hot before the covid protocol. maybe he has lingering effects but he seems slow again.
  3. I agree we are in the game for sure. they got a lucky one later and we played them even for the most part. One bounce so far. Get a goal on the power pay to start the period and lets see what happens
  4. they do have holes. we dont have a Tampa or Florida type line up. Thats just fact. we can get there but we are not there yet.
  5. Agree the longer we play at even the better. if we can get a lead thats even better
  6. lets not forget they have better pieces at all positions as of yet. we still need an upgrade especially on the D
  7. when does that have consequences? if the coach sat him on the pine CDC would explode saying the coach was abusing him. bad penalty to take against any team let alone the stanley cup champs.
  8. Shots don’t tell an accurate story. The game was closer than 5-2 but the first goal OEL screened Demmer and the deflection was tough for any goalie. the Panthers had more dangerous chances and at one point we had out shot them 17-8 or something like that but Florida was the more dangerous team. Bennet had one roll off his stick that should have been in. They missed the net a lot on their good chances. We shot from everywhere and really didn’t make Bobrosky work too hard. We fell asleep as a team twice after the first and third goals and they scored on the shift after the goals. That’s on the whole team not just the goalie. Save percentage is a useless stat if all the shots are from outside. We didn’t threaten most of the game. There was not a time when It felt the Canucks were taking the game over. Throw this game away. On to the next one.
  9. They were in it but had two lapses right after the first goal and the third one. Can’t do that against a good team. Won the next one and it’s a wash.
  10. A lot of years we would win in Miami and lose in TBay. Reverse the trend and you really can’t ask more after the layoff and what really has been a poor stretch. Fans should protest and not buy tickets to the games the league postponed.
  11. Fell apart after the 3-1 goal. Against good teams you cant let up and we did they have scored two goals in quick succession twice tonight. That has to change to be successful
  12. A little unlucky with a bounce we could’ve even it up. Nice recovery to keep it close. Now got a win the second and third
  13. Well we look like steam that has not played in a month. It’s a tough enough trip to begin with but not much you can do I guess. No legs. Playing the best team in the league
  14. I went back and re watched the hit again. He had just touched the puck to negate the icing on the dump in. Many get hit on those plays. Take the hit to make the play. It was just a cheap shot to hit him high like that. The point should be about the response of Pearson.
  15. But we should have a lot of home games to balance that out. im optimistic.
  16. beat a team they should beat, so many times in the recent past we couldnt say that, Demko was solid again Hughes was great nice to see the secondary scoring come through. Would be nice to get Brock back but that wont happen fast although he wont miss too many games with all of the schedule changes. The biggest thing last night was watching a Canuck stand up for a team mate. That hit by Soucy while not technically a penalty was a cheap shot and deserved a response. So many games in the past 5 years or so where that would not have happened. Kudos to Tanner Pearson for doing what many fans have been asking for. Play like a team. Stand up for each other. Bruce has this team playing for each other also. That's going to pay off every night.
