amplified0ne Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Gotta find a way to pull the puck off the wall and skate with it damnit. Trying to make passes in the zone without getting it over the blue line and fumbling the puck is like the most Canuck thing. Oh well, hope they come out with a good effort in an elimination game and dont just give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas is just a better team top to bottom overall. Our bottom 6 hasn't helped offensively and our defense can't handle their speed. I doubt the world's best coaching staff could push us past Vegas. Roster wise we need to be a bit better in order to have a chance to beat a team like Vegas. Our bottom 6 and perhaps our D do not cut it yet. Don’t forget how much of those breakdowns have nothing to do with our bottom 6 I agree our 4th line is weak and needs improvement. We need to move on from Sutter and beagle and probably Roussel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blömqvist Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) We had to have quicker shifts and tighter team defense to close out the third. We played so well against St. Louis doing that but it looks like fatigue had everyone watching and not getting into position/tying-up sticks.

Also since you're being rude, Reaves is a better player than half our team. He's one of the reasons we're getting killed in this series. Reaves is an oaf, for some reason we turn oafs into superstars, leave them alone, ignore them and hit the crap out of the stars and skate away, guaranteed they’ll implode.

Thought that was Quinn's best game of the series. They were a big part of putting us in that spot. I like how they responded." - Green on Pettersson and Hughes Again F' yeah - there's no quit in Petey or QH43, Our best players are our youngest players 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Lack of depth and exhaustion cost this team, Green's got a lot to learn from Deboer. Should have rested Marky but our bottom 6 really need to come through in games like this. Even if we win the next one, it's back to backs again which favour the deeper teams.

No they didn’t, they had the turn the other cheek culture, we had by far the best team for 3-4 years and apart from a close but no cigar did nothing in the playoffs. I invested in Wrigley’s and made a fortune thanks to AV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForestFalcon Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Well, mark that as the hardest loss to watch of the playoffs so far. When Virtanen missed that chance and I heard Pacioretty's name coming back the other way, my heart just sank. Well, the odds are completely stacked against them now, I hope the guys make the rest of this series close. Hopefully Marky can bounce back, and I know Petey's going to keep giving his all. Just gotta hope for the next game. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
