Blocking 30 shots and keeping the Canucks to the outside all night. The Canucks had maybe 3 grade 'A' scoring chances all night. Virtanen's break away and Goldy's point blank rebound are the only two I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree lots of shots but all from the outside with no rebounds because they kept us out of the triangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Feels like we got jobbed on that quick whistle but ultimately it was Carter Hart who stole this game. He wasn't spectacular until the 3rd, the ice was tilted & he held the Flyers in. The Flyers didn't look like a team on an 8 game winning streak at all. Even with Hart (as good as he was) if we had even an average NHL defense we could have won this game or atleast forced OT. Bitter way to lose. These are the points playoff teams find ways to get, but the boys battled hard at the end. Hart made 41 saves. They need to figure out this defense. Gudbranson & Pouliot are a trainwreck. I feel bad for Pouliot he's really lost his confidence, & it shows when he has to move the puck under pressure. Gudbranson despite his size simply has average defensive awareness & isn't good at moving the puck. Hughes will be a huge upgrade on Pouliot, but they gotta figure out the right side.

Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Canucks did also hit 2 posts early on. Easily could have gone the other way. Can't believe the Flyers are on this long a winning streak, when our defense wasn't sh**ing the bed we carried the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is giving a home team discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said, in my opinion, there was 1 standout save and whole lot of other not high quality chances that were stopped, with rebounds given up the entire game long. I don't think he stood on his head at all, not even close. Giving up rebounds left and right is not standing on your head. It's giving the opposing team second chances. The Canucks could not capitalize on the second chances because they lost all the battles for them to the Flyers D and forwards. Exactly. We watched the same game. Not sure which game some of these other guys were watching. 4 minutes ago, canuck2288 said: How does Pouliot get powerplay time? seriously Green play 5 forwards When I saw Poo out there on the PP I couldn't believe it either!

Yeah Guddy didn't look gud at all. How many times did we see him hold the puck behind the net for a dozen seconds only to pass it in someone's skates or directly to the other team? Not exactly an adept play when you've got all the time and space in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I think ideally Stecher is the #4/5 & you find an upgrade on Gudbranson. I appreciate his size & toughness but the big problem to me is he struggles to move the puck. He had a better game tonight with his puck decisions but so many nights he ends up just icing it. Even then if he was a terrific defensive player I could look past that too, but he's really just average defensively especially when it comes to reading the play.
