The Malhotra Effect.

 

Bo about to go down as one of the best faceoff men of all time.

 

57% on the season, and that number keeps going up.

 

Huge shutout Malhotra. Not just on faceoffs, our centers are playing good two way hockey.

"We had a great response, everybody was blocking shots and doing whatever it takes to win. Our line-up was great tonight, top to bottom. I’m just trying to do my part and I’ve been fortunate to put the puck in the net. We knew we had to be better. We showed we can play with them. Marky stood on his head as well. We knew how it felt when they were winning, laughing and having a good time on the bench. We keep that in the back of our head... It was a lot quieter and we're going to try and keep it that way." - Horvat

I just love our captain's firm response with silent rage.

I hate to pick on a guy after a great team win, but Brock was noticeably our worse player tonight. 

 

he lost a lot of puck battles, looked slow af and was invisible for preety much the entire game.

 

If he can show up in this series i think we'll have too much fire power for the Knights. 

did you not see the pass to Horvat , that was Boeser,

Not sure I would have thunk it, but it sure makes me happy.

Always hating on JV to hype up Brock. Lame af.

Jake Virtanen channeling his inner Antoine Roussel with the helmet grab. 

I just hope Jake just concentrates more on the hitting and less on the helmet grab. He was hitting non stop this whole game and last game!

Boeser for some reason is becoming 2012-2018 Daniel Sedin. A shooter that rather be a play maker. Good news is he ain't that bad at it either.

Can't copy/paste a quote?

here's a sample - the are all over the article

 

Here's a guest pass https://theathletic.com/gp/n6vh8mdg4f

 

“Don’t be soft there bud, that wasn’t even a hit!” – Vegas bench chirps Elias Pettersson after Pettersson was knocked off his skates on a neutral zone rush attempt in the first period of Game 1.

“All &^@#ing night, baby!” – Vegas’ Reaves after hitting Canucks forward Motte mid-way through the first period of Game 1. If you listen toward the end of this clip, you can hear the Vegas bench carrying on during the line change.

“Two minutes because he wouldn’t stay on his &^@#ing feet?” – Vegas bench complains to the officials after forward Nick Cousins is assessed a two-minute penalty for tripping J.T. Miller.

“Bawk, bawk, bawk!” – Definitely Reaves bawking at Roussel. Reaves bawked at various Canucks skaters multiple times, with one being picked up by television microphones:

The Malhotra Effect.

 

Indeed it is. You look at our FO% throughout the playoffs including the play in series.

Game 1vs Minnesota 59%

Game 2 vs Minnesota 63%
Game 3 vs Minnesota 46%
Game 4 vs Minnesota 53%
Game 1 vs St Louis 49%
Game 2 vs St Louis 56%
Game 3 vs St Louis 49%
Game 4 vs St Louis 56%
Game 5 vs St Louis 40%
Game 6 vs St Louis 57%
Game 1 vs Las Vegas 63%
Game 2 vs Las Vegas 66%
 

One game where we were outright dominated in the circle. 2 games against St Louis where it was pretty much 50/50. Outside of that, we have dominated every series and the first two rounds were very VERY strong teams at centre. 
 

huge positives about this team right now

1. Marky. He can keep us in a close game and give us a chance to get back in the game if we are down. Or shut the door when we are ahead.

2. The Minnesota game 4. This team has shown they can bail marky out of a bad game, just as he bails us out when we play poorly.

3. Faceoffs. Horvat probably needs a piss test after tonight. And throughout the playoffs. Everyone is killing it at centre
4. Following a loss or a blowout, this team answers back.
5.  Special teams are special

6. Everyone is buying in, blocking shots, laying hits etc.
