[GDT/PGT] Vancouver Canucks @ Montreal Canadiens | March 19, 2021 | 4 p.m. PT | SNP, RDS

[Odd.]

If it wasn't for Roussel's reputation, that wouldn't have been a penalty. 

[DeNiro]

Not as bad as their play in Ottawa but they still need to bring way more than that.

 

Notice how Montreal never stops MOVING FEET MOVING PUCK? That’s a team that has bought in.

I’ve shut up about Jake for a while.   
Ive been a big supporter of him getting consistent top 6 minutes.    
He makes me feel stupid.    
I don’t expect a BUNCH of points, but some would be good.  
BUT.   I’m mostly just sick of him not really trying to make the best out of his opportunity.  
The kid is bigger and faster than most people on the ice.     He should be a forechecking monster.     
He barely puts on pressure, and he hits like a kitten.   
Let’s see what Motte or Mac can do in that position....

Bigger and faster doesnt mean anything if you lack hockey IQ and skills. Virtanen is just another bigger version of Megna with less defensive IQ.

I don't know what to think of that period. We showed some nice glimpses, but then the Canadiens really dominated in the last minute.

Wait for the 2nd period where usually the other team comes out firing and us turtling.

But that was when Miller was "still not getting it"

I didn’t say it made sense 

[Petey40]

I thought that was a pretty even period, should be 0-0 if not for that awful call

Took a slap shot to the kneecap but stayed in the game 

[Devron]

Both teams kinda look slow to me. Like they are preserving energy or something lol

I read Vessey played with Miller in NY so I guess coach is banking on some familiarity?

They both played together on the US team at the World Juniors as well.

Marky looking brutal on the highlights again

all I know is canucks have only won 1 time when not scoring first. So this might be a loss.

"His reputation" is simply another excuse for their utter incompetence.

 

NHL refs are pathetic knuckle draggers.

 

Use replays like the rest of the civilized world, and move all of the way from the stone into the modern age.

 

Getting it right is far more important than their &^@#ing egos.
