The one behind the net waved it off right away, but it was never explained if he was saying it didn't go in, or if the buzzer had gone off before it did. The explanation after the review was "time had expired", but I don't know that it proves anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eriksson gets a pass at centre ice. The Blues were trying to regroup and only one defenceman about 10+ feet away. The guy gets the puck and dumps it in, and skates to the bench. He could have skated for 3-5 seconds more and would have had plenty of room to take a shot. Defensive play? Or just doesn't care enough to try? It just ticked me off. I think he follows orders... Especially after what's happened before. Listen to what Green said about shortening the time between changing lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post grandmaster Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 I think the top unlikely hero not named Motte, has got to be Fantenberg. He has played solid. Very impressed with his play. 5 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Toews Posted August 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) When that puck went in off of Benn and over Markstrom's pad, I thought here we go again... Then that bogus penalty call gave them the PP and they scored, I thought that's it, they will never recover from this. To have the resiliency to come back and score three goals, lose Edler to a freak accident and still pull through. That's resiliency that I never expected to see this early. I have always been conservative about our chances considering the inexperience of our core. They are showing us that we have a lot to be excited about going forward. Its not enough to just have talent but you have to have some heart and these group just has it in spades. Win or lose I will be cheering them on all the way to the end without any reservations. Go Canucks Go. Edited August 20, 2020 by Toews 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's closer than I thought on. The crossbar threw me off a bit but it all comes down to camera ang to say for sure. My point is (wether that crossed or not) that the way we played in the last 6 minutes is just looking for a heartbreak against a team like the Blues. I'm not saying forecheck all 5 guys but 1 guy should be trying everything to get that puck instead of looking at the puck carrier until he sees an open man. Their net is wide open in the final 2 minutes there should be more drive to get the puck and finish them off instead of just hoping good defence and your goalie can fend off a 2 minute onslaught from the defending champs. Who have recently tied us with under 10 seconds in game 2 because we played that way down the stretch. We won that game in OT but still.. I find we have more fight 4 on 5 than we do 5 on 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were still stitching him up after the game was over but, he’s good to go for game 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there might have been a bit of the "here we go again" mentality. Players tend to make mistakes when doubt starts to creep in. It's a learning process and all players go through it. Hopefully a lesson was learned last night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 For some reason, I was less stressed for this game. I had just assumed STL would take it to them, and they did, except Markstrom saved their bacon over and over. Thank Benning for him. It was a great result, and hopefully they can put away the Blues on Friday. Awesome to see Motte play so well and be rewarded, and for Jake to finally contribute. Losing Edler and Myers - is a huge blow. Well...hopefully Edler is okay. Tomorrow's game should be fun, STL will be playing desperate, dirty hockey, so I hope the Canucks can weather that storm and finish them off. I wonder if the "home team" will end up winning a game in this series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like watching the plays again when the emotion is gone just to see what is happening around the play. Cant believe how good Hughes is. When he crosses the blue line you can see how the Blues go on high alert and they all start backing in. Totally apprehensive to attack him because he will turn on a dime or find an open man. I think he is our best player. Pavel Bure, in my mind, is the greatest player this franchise has had. I think Hughes can take that "title" away from Bure, and the more I see this kid the more it seems it wont take long. Having a d man that can generate so much, and can actually defend, is something we have never had. Yes I have to admit, my biggest concern was his ability to defend considering his size. While I don't think he should be a PK guy, I think he has done admirably 5v5 and can handle some big minutes. Fantenberg stepped up in a big way in Edler's absence last night. Going to be interesting if we decide to try and keep him (I imagine Benn would have to go to accomplish this) or hope our youth can take over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whcanuck Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Did they find a bit of a weak spot with Allen? Lots of shots beating him up high, especially blocker side. Both Motte goals were stick side, so was Virtanen’s, and EP beat him up there in game 3 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
