Guest Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Just now, Bitter Melon said: Agreed, as long as Stecher is the one getting blatantly elbowed in the head its A-Ok. Edler pushed the St Louis guy into Stecher. Can't call that a penalty. They should've called a lot of the hooking and tripping on the Blues though. I was surprised that they chose to call Virtanen on his penalty (was a penalty) after they ignored all the Blues' infractions. Better team won tonight unfortunately. Onto game 4.

Popular Post Nuxfanabroad Posted August 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2020 Still very proud of these guys. They're giving it their all. At least it was (somewhat) reasonably officiated.. & most of the dirty, dangerous crap seems curtailed. Let's get the big W tomorrow! 1 3 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UKNuck96 Posted August 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2020 Just now, Wilfred said: Stecher, Motte, and Macewen just tilting the ice for the blues with how unbelievably terrible they all were with the puck tonight. And it was consistent. Consistently throw it away despite having time and space. Stecher in particular made so many awful decisions including on the losing goal. Have absolutely no remote idea what he was thinking on the 1-1 goal. Motte wasn’t awful - he did a good job, made a few errors but he was up and down the ice like a work horse all night 4 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The better team won tonight. They deserved to win. They were the better team plain and simple.. Blues dominated the entire game except for when we were on PP and that one 4v4 shift we had them up against it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Major bummer, but a really good hockey game overall. Boys played well but couldn't do much in the 3rd and beyond. Had our chances but St Louis wanted it more. Talk about tomorrow being an important game. Did anyone else think Pearson looked tired all night? Something just looked a bit off. What a game for Fantenberg, man did he ever step up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Just now, Brock Botanen said: I get that Virtanen tripped him but I mean I seen 3 Blues penalties ignored. Which I was fine with considering its OT and a lot at stake. However you cant just put the whistle away for 1 team. If any of those 3 calls were called then we would be up 3-0 I defend reffing a lot. Tonight you guys messed up big time and now that Blues squad has a lot more confidence. Thanks refs! Stecher gets elbowed in the face in clear view of the refs = no penalty.

shazzam Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 The Blues were better. Boeser needs to be taken off the first line. No speed and no shot. Stetcher unfortunately exposed with Myers injury. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Rough game, we just got outworked in the last period and OT, Blues were hungrier. Green needs to get his guys angry and amped for a big Game 4 which may well decide the series. 2-2 and the Blues have all the momentum but 3-1 is hard to come back from. Will be interesting to see when Demko gets a start because 3 games in a row is tough for even Marky. I'd play Demko tomorrow then back to Markstrom for what will either be the clincher of massive Game 5. Going forward we need more of a net presence to beat Allen, we got lucky against a bad Binnington but need to play Allen the way we did Stalock who was pretty strong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down by the River Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Don't mind the Hughes pinch. He was the only guy with energy. The last few breakouts were just forwards giving up possession by dumping the puck in. Stetch failing to move to the middle of the ice and forwards failing to cover were what cost them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spook007 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Good game... Blues came out as a team who were up against the wall...but boys stood up to them... Missed Myers in front of the goal tonight. Still up 2-1 so we'll take it as it comes... Whats with BB... Looked sluggish and off... And Roussel none existent... Get the win tonight instead and we are golden... Edited August 17, 2020 by spook007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flickyoursedin Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Haven’t been very impressed with Jake Virtanen. Also Zack MaCEwan has a rough game. I would like to see Gaudette get in the game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 5 on 5 in that instance his forwards had all day to cover for him and none of them did. Just a break down in coverage and I wouldn't put the blame on Hughes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wai_lai416 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 not sure why anyone is blaming hughes.. it's not like he was caught pinching.. he was the only man in on the forecheck with 4 canucks in the neutral zone changing and not watching the players on the ice. if hughes jumped in with 3 other canucks in the offensive zone sure blame him.. but he literally was the only one in the offensive zone lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to come out with more fire tomorrow. Because it was the middle of a line change? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billabong Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Boeser was flying against minny but he’s been having trouble with the pace and tempo in this series i wonder if he’s hurt or his lack of quickness is catching up to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
