Patel Bure Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Travis Green and the coaching staff might be deserving of the first start tonight. The Canucks adjusted extremely well from the first game in terms of making MUCH faster decisions with the puck (passing or shooting). The much faster decisions also lead to less predictability and it gave the Wild fits tonight. Major props to the coaching staff for not having to resort to major line changes (like I had suggested) in order to change the tide. Having said that, I still think we need to tighten up in our own end and do a better job with gap control. Still too many Wild players getting good looks from the slot. The Canucks also need to figure out their power play situation when the Wild attack our point men with their aggressive hybrid diamond/umbrella PK format. The Canucks have all kinds of trouble in the PP when the Wild challenge our point men, because Minnesota knows that getting traffic in front of their net is not something that we do naturally. All in all, a decent game, but the Canucks will still have to be careful. The next game is the “home” game for the Wild and so the favorable match-ups will go towards them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckleheads fan Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Honestly, I thought Sutter looked on 6 minutes ago, theo5789 said: Everyone was calling for lineup changes after game 1. He didn't have a great game, so he got bumped out and hopefully learned something from the press box. He's been coaching the kid all year and this should be taken as another lessen. Who else would you have sat out instead? Honestly, I thought Sutter looked really good on the third line, and LE surprised me with his game, he had some offensive chances and played good defense. I think Gaudette should feel fortunate if he gets back in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume Green lets marky decide if he's ready for it. My bet is Marky. But it will be interesting to see for sure. It’s not your typical playoffs where you always get a day off between games. There’s been a few teams now that have played their second goalie. Most interestingly today was Carolina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe Thursdays game is at 11:30am PST followed by 7:30pm PST Friday? Or is Friday a second early day. If its a late game I can see Marky starting both without hesitation.

Markstrom your done bud. Demko your turn. The first Fiala goal, Edler gets knocked down before the pick arrives, technically should've been interference. From then, Horvat is drawn to Staal, so either Horvat shouldn't have been so aggressive (I believe it was 6 on 5 at that point) or Pearson should've came down and covered Fiala. Either way, Fiala had a wide look near the slot and took an almost perfect shot that most goalies would not be able to handle (there's a reason why he has like 17 goals in his last 20 games). The second goal was another bang bang play and he shoots it post and in while Marky was being massively screened. We needed someone to clear the screen or not let someone like Fiala be so open to take those shots. How you can pin those solely on Marky is beyond me. Marky played well.

Need I remind you of Chaput and Megna? Simply put it could be worse, much much worse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Law of Goalies Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 26 minutes ago, canuckleheads fan said: Petey should have had two helpers; he forced the TO and deflected the puck to Miller on his "unassisted" goal. That little tab to Brock for his goal was an underappreciated thing of beauty. The NHL TV guys said it was a deflection, but it was a perfect feed to an open Brock for the finish. I like Brock better on that like, when Toffoli gets back I'd like to see him on Bo's line. Petey had a great game, he's getting a ton of dirty attention, I hope he can hold up over the course of the playoffs. Also, very disappointed in Jake, one good play backtracking to break up a scoring chance, but I expected him to play with some edge, like he had a chip on his shoulder and he gives us blech. Honestly, if JB can get somebody to take LE's contract and the sweetener is Jake, I'm all in on that. He was flying out there and did play with some sort of edge as he won a few puck battles. And also, playing 8 minutes..hard to get super engaged and be noticed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Assuming Toff & Ferland are out next game. Lotto Line Pearson / Horvat / Loui Rous / Gaud / Jake Motte / Beagle / Sutter If Rous and or Gaudette are out I guess that opens the door for MacEwen to get in.
