Fiala is right up in Markstrom’s kitchen, and making a mess.   He has Markys number.   
Marky is back to his old ways of letting in at least 1 bad goal a game.  
 

Petterson is showing he won’t take being pushed around and I love it.   
It’s a great change from the ‘let’s bend over and hope to get them back on the power play’ that we used to have to watch from the previous Swedish regime.  
 

Bo was OK.    I’m still waiting for that big game changer from him.   
 

Myers.   Wtf dude?  3 penalties is a no no. 

 

Lol, He did get a nice tip in goal. But he's also a bit too confident in his own abilities. Several times, he tries to drive in alone and gets snuffed right at the blueline.

Or those blind back passes on the PP to no one... Looks fancy, but he's not even connecting those passes.

Real talk thank you! I thought all 3 goals were savable. No traffic clear line of sight, were any even deflections?

Its Demko time. We think its OK to drop guys like Guadette and Virtanen to keep the team competitive why not

the goalie position as well? 

1st one definitely.
2nd one was very well placed shot. People weren't even sure it went in at first.
3rd one, he could have had a chance, but he didn't pick up the pass. I think it was Dumba that passed it while it looked like he was losing balance. Lots of body, Fiala one timed that shot. Is hard to even pick up the pass in the overhead camera in the replay. Would have been even harder for Marky to see that through all the bodies on the ice level. By the time he was moving across, the shot was relased.

Markstrom needs to play even better, but not sure it's wise to assume Demko could do better.
Canucks' D hasn't been great overall.

Gotta try to keep this 5 on 5. Thought we were the better team 5 on 5. 

 

Maybe decline powerplays from now on.

Really? I thought Minny was the better team in literally every aspect.
The puck was in the Canucks zone most of the period, including with the Canucks' PP. lol.

Canucks got a lucky goal and it was pretty much all Minny after that.
