-AJ- Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My thoughts on the game: - Gudbranson was inconsistent—some great plays and many dumb ones - Edler was the same story - Stecher had some quietly strong moments - Motte was great on the PK and otherwise - Gaudette looks good and is creating chances - The Killer Bs all played fairly well, but couldn’t connect often enough - Sutter had a few great moments defensively - Goldobin continued playing hard and creating tons of chances - The Caps simply greatly outclassed the Canucks in all areas this game - Nilsson was mediocre—not terrible, but still not good enough—I fully expect to see Markstrom next game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twilight Sparkle Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 cant be upset about that game. stanley cup champs vs the vancouver cubbies motte and roussell were probably the best players tonight. EP and Beagle can come back any time tho ;_; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounoush Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 24 shots isn't enough. The Caps are a good team and played well but our forwards have to be much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 My Thoughts: - Canucks don't win enough 50/50 puck battles. This is very costly. - This is the best I have seen the Capitals play this season (I have gamecenterlive and I watch games regularly around the league). They play with discipline and structure. Their best players were their best players and they play a very well structured 200 foot game. And when the defending Champions plays like the Champions, don't think many teams could get a win out of them. - Canucks are really missing both EP and Beagle. EP runs our powerplay and Beagle is the key for our PK. Not a coincidence that our special teams play dropped since they both went down. - Refs completely ruined the game with that phantom tripping call to Stecher which led to the Ovechkin goal. It is a very unnecessary penalty. It ruined the fun of the game. It isn't the reason why the Canucks lost, but it takes away the fun of a game.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Team needs more skill in the lineup. Other than Goldy tonight, not much was happening offensively. Sigh can't wait for Pettersson to be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I thought Nilsson was pretty decent overall. He kept us in a game we had no business winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam126 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Meh, nothing to get worked up over necessarily. Just the Capitals being a better team than the Canucks currently, as well as being pissed off from the loss to FLA last game. But we need Pettersson back for some much needed offense.

Qwags Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hughes and Juolevi are going such big breaths of fresh air. I'm tired of the dump and chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 why has Motte been scratched and Eriksson has not? Eriksson really hasn't been any good for the team. Would rather see Leipsic in there than Eriksson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been very good with EP. Without EP, he doesn't have that linemate who can drive the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
