We can count that quadruple OT game as 2.3 games, so basically Luongo played 8.3 games. Luongo: 228 saves / 8.3 games - 27.4 saves per game. Markstrom: 213 saves / 6 games - 35.5 saves per game. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, their ice time was low, but their production overall was pretty impressive. They will only get better from here and that’s a good thing. Boeser's a bit more rounded out, consistent and refined. If he wasn't he'd be in the same boat as Virtanen/Gaud with ice time. If it sounds like I am harking on Gaud/Virtanen it's not to be a negative nancy. I like both players. Just giving out an honest opinion of where I feel they stand and how I feel they can take the next steps in development. For Virtanen it is being consistent away from the puck. When his compete levels are up he's always is fast and effective. Offense usually comes. He creates space for himself and others. He's more physical. Motte typically never scores but is usually effective each game and that's the type of things I want to see out of Virtanen so Greener wants to play him a bunch. Gaud has it a lot harder since we're trying to make him a C. A lot more is gonna be asked of him moving forward. He's also a bit less refined than Virtanen due to having 1/2 of his experience. IMO he might end up as a winger. IMO both players need PK time next year(I would have at the beginning of this year if it were up to me). Have them add to their resume and be able to be relied on more than just 2nd PP. Checking skills are gonna have more of a chance at improving when they're put in those sort of situations.

Are you on drugs.. one was a turn over, and beags wired a top corner wrist shot, you think that was weak? For real? 2nd one a turn over as well and his own D man screened him trying to block the shot.. really? Think it's just that easy? Wow dude.. sorry but your mistaken.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We guarantee a game 7. We...just gave them goals....' Sorry, but you just lost a game you had little to no chance of winning, a game where your team's fight was situational at best, and overall looked pretty damn defeated. You pulled your goalie with 8 minutes left. You couldn't handle the puck pressure. You couldn't match the Canucks when they turned up the tempo and pushed. Their only chance was to slow the game down = "ground and pound". But this team had too much puck support for that. They ground and pounded for a few minutes here and there - mostly a bunch of perimeter possession with some blocked shots mixed in - but the balance of the series was the Canucks beating them to pucks, the Canucks taking the puck away from them, and when St Louis got by one, there was another Canuck there supporting the puck. You wore no one down. You broke no one's will. You got no game 7. You are a great team - but you're still disrespecting your opponent. I guess when you guarantee a game 7 you need to come up with some rationale to apologize for the transgression. 'We just gave up goals.' Yeah - that's a pretty common description of a team that lost, particularly when you lose 6-2. Btw - you didn't score more than 3 goals in any of the 6 games....so your margin of error was slim at best. I think the Blues had the lead for less than 20 minutes during the entire series. Think about that Mr Berube. Less than 20 minutes - 6 games. 2 1 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semi finals wooooo Speaking of fun lame and coiler fans are so butthurt. As a proud half French Manitoba boy, it's not surprising that the only cities in Canada that are rooting for us is the Peg and Montreal. Now if any Jets fans are here I could really do with a Gondola pizza lol. The best thin crust pizza I've ever had.

Popular Post WHL rocks Posted August 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) Man the Canucks look almost unbeatable right now. Especially the way Marky is playing and our bottom 6 racking up points last couple of games. I didn't want any part of St Louis after Minny series. Much preferred Dallas. But we just beat a big heavy physical team.. Cup champs. Unbelievable.. Anything is possible vs the Knights. I know one thing for sure. This team won't go out easy.. they'll battle hard right to the end. Edit typo Edited August 22, 2020 by WHL rocks 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamer4GM Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Wow... Certain others have caught this already and I remember it from the beginning of the game but... 13 seconds in, Marky handcuffs Huggy with a pass of the end boards and he coughs it up to the Booboo's forecheck Perron blasts one high and wide from right in the the slot. Beagle ends up getting things started 3:30 later but... Had that first turnover gone in? Who Knows? So Blessed! ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No quit. Scored 3 goals in the 2nd period pulled out a gritty win. They won the mental game in game 5 and knew they had the series after that gutsy come from behind victory.

Comeback_Kings Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 waxing poetic after the big win....

Viper007 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I'm loving that the JT Miller trade is looking better and better the further the Canucks go! Here's to hoping it's the #31 OA pick! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
