I wouldn't put him on the effort level of the others but he's held his own for the time he's been given. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's had much of an impact at all. To say that would be to take away from the things that have actually contributed to the series It has mostly been the PK keeping our team afloat while the youngsters/team find their feet. In Marky's own words, the PK has been unbelievable. Also Marky has been good 5v5 and is a part of that PK. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Smashian Kassian Posted August 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2020 All the talk about Roussel being a step behind, look like he was shot out of a cannon on that goal. That was the Roussel of last year. I like Jake's speed throughout the first 2, didn't notice him in the third, and the penalty he took was a bad. Also Zack MacEwen, didn't play much but drew a few penalties in the time he did play. Good contribution. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFalcon Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Man, the amount of penalties was insane that game! There were some chances by the Wild by Marky seemed to have the angle on them and covered rebounds really well. He was the steady Marky that's been carrying us in the regular season, as good as he's ever been. Also, I like how after having such a ridiculous wait for his first shutout in the regular season, he gets his first shutout in playoff hockey in 3 games! The Canucks honestly could have had 2 more goals. At the very least, that Bo Horvat chance that got gloved by Stalock was insane. Like there was nothing but net and the glove on that shot, so many ways that could have gone in. That was a tough go to get that first one, but it's what I thought it might take to beat him, getting the rebounds. Our best players are being our best players these last couple games, incredible the way Hughes just plays like a veteran all star in his first go in NHL playoff hockey. Great to see Petey get his cannon of a shot off again, Hughes plus Petey on a 2 on 1 is about as deadly a combination as you could get. Really happy to see Brock getting some goals and love. Rooster's goal felt Burrowsesque to me. Penalty Kill came up huge, there's no way we're going to kill 7 every night, but keeping them from getting any momentum on the PP was crucial to winning this game. Loved the protection that was coming up, felt anytime someone was getting targeted, guys were sticking up for each other, loved the tackling when the guys were harassing Marky. Let's keep it going, hopefully they can have their best game yet tomorrow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past 2 games the guy has given the Wild 6 PP chances all by himself. That's going to be 2+ goals against teams like Vegas, Colorado, etc. That's all I'm saying. Theres a ways to be physical and not take dumb penalties. I dont think we could even beat the Blackhawks taking all these penalties if I'm being honest. How much hockey have you even watched? ANA took had one power play for every 4 they took on the way to the cup. Myers is exactly what we need in this series and without him we’d be behind right now. Always have to find something to complain about no matter what is old news. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Sutter is playing well enough he can be traded for assets come the draft, hopefully Roussel as well. Then maybe we luck out and land Petrangelo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how he handles the team. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the compete level, but no PK can do what we did tn over a stretch of games. The bad penalties need to stop. Myers is the biggest culprit of the bad penalty taking and he needs to be more disciplined. We will never win giving up that many penalties to pretty much any other team in the West. Let's get this series win tomorrow night and prepare to wreak havoc in round 1! Preferably against the Blues or Stars please Disagree. Myers was a beast out there. Knocked a lot of Wild players off their game. Refs definitely not treating these games like playoff games. Otherwise Myers would have 0 minutes in penalties. I hope that Myers gets the chance to bring this style for a few rounds of the playoffs this year. Eventually the zebras will put the whistles away. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is playoff hockey and he’s bringing it more then anyone else in our lineup. Don’t care if we have to kill three penalties a game for the duration if he plays like that every single game. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Bo Horvat could've had atleast one goal if not two. He was solid, as was Pearson, Sutter, Eriksson. Hard to find someone who didn't play well. Jake was kinda invisible at times, but due to penalties I don't think he was getting out there consistently.
