Canucks top players were no shows in that first period. Miller gave the puck away at least twice.

 

Yet the blues top players in sh&tty schen and oreeillly both score.

 

If petey, bosers, miller, and horvat dont get going we are done. Still some time but not optimistic lol.

 

Thought Horvat had a pretty good period. Boeser wasn't bad either, atleast to start. Petey had one good chance. Tough period for Miller.

It’s not markstrom.   This entire team has folded once the blues started to play angry and with desperation!   Where’s the Canucks desperation?  They’re not angry, they mildly amused.

Trouble is, our Canucks have already overachieved, so they feel no shame in being owned.  St Louis,  on the other hand, will be mightily embarrassed if they lose, hence the difference in intensity

I said it last game and Corey Hirsh this morning suggested it too. 

 

We desperately need puck movers back there! Fanta and Benn hasn't been "bad" but they are the Blues favourite type of Dmen to go against. Both are slow to move the puck and handle it like grenades, the forwards cant get clean outlet passes allowing the Blues D to pinch. 

 

I don't know why Baumgartner or Green can see this glaring issue. Juolevi and Rafferty are both bigger (not heavier) than Fanta and Benn, can skate from danger and most importantly make a good first pass!!

Blues play heavy and fast... meanwhile Petey started the game with LE on his wing.

If those blaming marky on that, that's all on benn he needs to get his the &^@# outta there 

Benn is out of his depth, even on the 3rd pairing.

 

Can't afford better d-men, gotta pay Eriksson $6 million to play on the PK.

Need to chip it in and take runs at them

We don’t have the players to do that effectively.

our glancing hit and turn offs are not the same as guys finishing every check and hit through our guys.

i can count on one hand the big hard hits from Vancouver.
Blues aren’t to worried about our “hits”

Where Vancouver shows their immaturity is the careless giveaways and poor defensive zone coverage, something that’s been an issue with this team for years.

 

Good news is there is still a lot of game left, Canucks did a lot of good things that period. I refuse to say the series is over until one of these teams wins the 4th game. Keep trying keep competing!!
