[GDT] Nucks @ Hawks November 7 2019 5:30pm Pacific - watch live on SNP

[Specz]

If this is how badly we want to be first in the Pacific then something is seriously wrong. Wake up in the third and prove me wrong boys, still a lot of hockey left.

Bizarre, like every Canuck to a man is having an off night tonight. Says a lot about how bad the hawks are that we are still in this game,

They call that ALL THE TIME bud. You're responsible for your stick.

But hey..... "game management"  

Not on a follow through.

At least the horrible reffing is going both ways to round out an all around poohish game.

Entering the offensive zone on the PP seems like a challenge again.  

It's because Hughes is being told to listen to the system. When he abandons it, we enter the zone. When he listens to Brown we can't enter because the coach doesn't understand that the play is contingent on speed with the drop pass.

???????

 

It's clearly about the coaching.

It's a tradeoff.

Two options:

1) Speed into the neutral zone where Hawks set a trap. So eventually before entering the blue line, we are forced into making a play onto sides where we have zero speed or dump it in (which most people here seem to hate) In case we are dumping the puck in, the only person with competent enough speed to chase it would be the one dumping it in. 

2) Send it back to coverage with a slow but non-zero speed and enter the neutral zone where the trap that Hawks set is no longer valid. (or less valid) And enter the zone with "some" speed.

Hope Baer draws in tomorrow. I can see a few guys he can easily replace...wish Green sees the same.

No they don't. Learn the rules. 

Please.

The refs are given leeway to "interpret" the rules. The term Game Management exists for a reason. Yes, they do call an inadvertent high stick quite often. You're responsible for your stick.
But they call it if they feel like it, to be simple about it.

I'm not new son.

Who the hell brought Rocky Miavia on set to discuss hockey?

We're gonna win the Cup this year. Period

Isn’t it hilarious that three short years after signing for 6 M per year that we have absolutely zero expectations for Loui to score a single goal. Lol. 

it’s far from funny. But it’s also no where near a relevant comment to the game at hand.

 

The boys have bounced back from a significant shot difference... but hey, let focus on the most negative irrelevant aspect that we can!

If you're not new you'd understand they call high stick penalties on follow throughs 1/300 high sticks and it's usually dubbed a bad call.
