KeslerBEAST Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 http://www.sportsclu...ts.com/NHL.html currently has us at a 94.4% chance to make the playoffs so it would really take something special by us to frack that up lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftmN Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Not too disappointed with the loss today to be honest, the sharks forecheck is quite strong at the moment. Having said that if we were playing solid defensively there would have only been 1 goal scored on us instead of 3. A few of the boys looked like they wanted to be out there today but having said that another few played terrible. Looking forward to our win on Thursday against Edmonton.

Bodee Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 While I am sick of MG's inactivity I am still proud of how well the team is coping with all the constant injuries and replacements. How do you hone systems with constant changes in personnel, injuries, form loss, all happening at the same time. Some of our players are playing for 2 by carrying others because we can't afford to bench guys who are failing. We are being far too hard on this team and it's coach just now and frankly I find it sickening. Our fans have no guts, they are cocky bendy fan boys who screech when they don't get what they want.

Socrates Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I hope that somehow Gillis can bring in these guys before the deadline: Thomas Vanek-Goal scorer (rumours of buffalo having a fire sale) Dan Boyle- Possible answer to the void left by sami salo Antoine Vermette- Centreman, physical, fast, and a bit of a scoring touch Its games like these that make the need for these players to come in even greater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Some of this Edler hate makes me cringe... He is excellent in the offensive zone, good passes and good hard shots, and can hold his own in the defensive zone with his size and speed. To have him as a 2nd pairing offense first d-man (provided he is used that way) for 5 mil a season is a blessing and half the teams in the league would have paid way more than that for him.

canuckelhead70 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 wow here is another surprise, the Canucks once again don't get power play!!!! This is twice in the last week alone. I would love to know what the record is for how many times in a season a team doesn't get a PP opportunity. I'm sure we are knocking on that record......seriously WTF!!!! It's shocking how every team we play does not do one thing wrong to deserve a penalty called against them. Not saying we're going to score on the PP but there is a chance. Yes I know the ref's didn't let in 3 goals but there is an advantage with a PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well if nothing else it was nice to get a look at Jensen. Yeah he wasn't amazing or anything but it was only his first game. He did get to play with the Sedins but they aren't exactly thrilling people with their play lately either. Too bad that Tanev shot didn't go in. Was this the last Luongo game...we shall see. Seeing how good the Sharks are at home it's understandable to lose. But the Canucks got a few easy games coming up. If they can take advantage of these easier teams they can almost lock up a playoff spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkyway Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 "The Sharks dominated the first period, outshooting Vancouver 14-6." "The first period was good. We did what we had to do to keep it tight," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. - I guess this is the new definition of doing good for this team.

Ride the red Pony Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Was a rough night for the boys, not much to get excited about in that game, Higger showed up, Schnides kept them off the scoreboard in the first, some push back in the third, Niemi looked like he was ripe for the picking in the third, but the boys couldn't get any real quality shots on him. Again, they are all perimeter, nothing dirty. Reffing, as someone else stated, has gone into playoff mode and this doesn't bode well for the team down the stretch and into the playoffs. Deadline almost here, I guess we will see what Uncle Mike has up his sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heretic Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 So....let me get this straight....in his last 2 starts, Schneider has let in 2 goals on the first 2 shots, and then 2 goals in 41 seconds. Tell me how that is any better than Luongo? Sorry, IMHO, there's no difference between the 2 other than the experience Luongo has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~AngelBelle~ Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 There really is no point being so disappointed/angry when we have literally 6 NHL forwards lol. Schneids carried us so hardi n the 1st period and when he played less than 100%, the goals just kept flying. I hate to be the witch hunter but serious Tanev? My god he's been horrible since forever. I've only ever liked him over Rome. He has no strength, no shot, bad pass, bad position, horrible clears, bad check, bad speed, bad everything. He is a well rounded AHL'r. I don't see what ppl in this forum see in him. So....let me get this straight....in his last 2 starts, Schneider has let in 2 goals on the first 2 shots, and then 2 goals in 41 seconds.

If you look at the numbers and the saves each of them make then there should be no question that they are like the kipper of calgary or price of montreal last year. Look at how hemmed up we were in the 1st period vs SJ, honestly I thought the first real offensive chance we got in the game was like 17m at the 2Period...and it's not like we put all our resources on the D like Nashville pre-suter trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

406281dylan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Higgins,Burrows,Lapierre,Hansen,Schroeder,Pinizotto were really the only noticeable people for me last night I found jensen looked lost but im sure he will bouce back Sweatt is not NHL material and should be traded, he derseved that minus 1 last night The Cancusk need to make some moves this deadline which will make them a better team and free them up some cap for the offseason.

Ray_Cathode Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 5 seconds left. DUMP TO CORNER. Edler and Bieksa have been HORRIBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Cathode Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Last year, we averaged 3.04 goals a game and allowed only 2.41 This year, we are averaging 2.61 goals a game and allowing 2.58 - basically the same for and against. We are scoring less and allowing more. So no, the goalies can be blamed for allowing more goals against this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
