  1. sure there was a defensive lapse the caused a rush to happen but Myers played the 2on1 Perfect in taking the pass away, Halak wasn't square to Hughes and was to deep left Jack Hughes a lot of room to shoot and it's in the back of the net, on a 2on1 if there is no pass 80% of the time your goalie should be able to make the save the pass option was blocked of by Myers and Halak should be aware of that, the 2nd goal bad Turn over on Myers how ever Halak stays back door to long and never pushes up to challenge the guy into the slot once again making him small and exposing all the holes. 3rd goal no chance really how ever if i am going to nitpick Halak was late to push off to Bodquist so instead of making a quick shot it allows him to get set up, 4th goal doesn't poke check when should of and ends up in the back of the net think most here will agree that's a bad goal, 5th goal Halak is too deep once again yes it bounces off Schenn but Halak is to deep and doesn't give himself a chance to save a tip if you are that deep most goalies try and get as close as possible to the screen as it helps take away the tip, 6th goal another Brutal one and gets the Hook
  2. There is a good chuck of blame on Halak here on almost all goals in this game letting softies will kill a teams confidence and momentum they likely play a lot better if Halak makes a few key saves and allows them rally behind him, i really think that's what most are saying is he needs to make a timely save to keep the team in it
  3. I am really not getting how some are defending Halak, was the team playing the best in front of him? no. do other teams let their goalies out to dry sometimes? yes. is their goaltender bottom 3 in the league for sv% amongst goalies with 6+ games. no. You can hang a goalie out to dry and still not have him have a .547% tonight goalies need to make big saves sometimes and Halak just hasn't this year. Turnovers are going to happen in a game you can't just have your goalie making easy saves. the fact he is bottom 3 this year really just paints a photo in itself, Not even Arizona has a goalie in the bottom 10 and they are the worst team in the league by far, the team has zero confidence in Halak therefore can't getting on the offense because they know if they aren't perfect and make one tiny miss play its in the back of our net
  4. After tonight, Halak's SV% will become .876, good for the third last place among goalies who have played at least 6 games, I don't know how you can defend him by simply saying the team is bad in front of him
  5. Guy has a .899 sv% and will only get worse after tonight, it's quite below average .905 has been the average for a low end back up for the past couple years, pretty hard to blame the team when they are scared make a pass incase a turn over happens which will go back into your net
  6. Right but it wasn't almost every game with those 2, not every chance goes in when those 2 have an off game they still give the team to be able to in with atleast 3 goals and they are never in a short period of time like Halak
  7. Sure the defense isn't the best in the leauge but turn overs happen not every single turn over can go in the back of your net I get he isn't going to get a shutout but if he can keep this to a 2-3 goal game it give the canucks some confidence that they still can come back, it's not fully Halaks fault but he has alot of blame on his shoulder
  8. Thank you I get we can't rely on vezina level goaltending from a back up and that our defense has some issues, but all I am asking is for nhl average goaltending and these past 3 starts of his arsenal a different story
  9. Implying it's not his fault, at best the team is playing bad because they just can't trust him in net team can't play good if you have zero confidence in your tender
  10. 2 starts 2 times he hasn't finished the game there is no way you can defend this, we could have an ahl defense and an average back up is going to make more saves than this
  11. You mean the same defense Spencer Martin was able to put nhl numbers up? I don't get how you can defend a guy with a a sub .800 sv% this year like buffalo goalies aren't even having this issue and they gotta be the worst in the leauge, 50% just doesn't cut it, at least 70% of those 8 goals he could have had
  12. I am sorry but you need an occasional god damn save, 8 goals on what like 20 shots? It's not excusable an almost 500 sv% ain't good enough
  13. Halak has 8 goals against in the 1st period of his last 2 starts this is unacceptable. It's really time to send him down if he doesn't wanna get moved, Martin needs to be the back up I am tired of weak goals out of Halak it's so frustrating
  14. That's true the nhl has banned that song since 2013
  15. I'd like to see Holiday come back, goal song for the most successful era of Canucks hockey was used in a lot of milestone moment's for this core, Pettersson's first NHL goal, Hughes first NHL point, Demko's first NHL win, List goes on not idea why they try and play around with other ones when that one just Cleary works for us
  16. I don't know about anyone else but I am having a lot of fun watching this game, definitely have a few flame fans that I need to message lol
  17. Imagine a top 9 of Forsberg Pettersson Boeser Garland Miller Podkolzin Pearson Horvat Hoglander Times like this is why i think the NHL really needs a soft cap
