N4ZZY Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just now, ShawnAntoski said: The game could had gone either way and the PP's in the second pretty much kept the Rags from there game (for the most part); eventhough, they capitalized on there PP chances in the second. Team win despite of Green & friends - imo. Anyways, finally a home win. That could be described for most games, I think. It's a game of inches. I'm glad that they've finally won. Let's celebrate and relish in this. Another win might not come our way for a while. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickinson, Motte, Highmore could be a really irritating line. That would be our fourth line right? Because if that's the third line where do you put Podkolzin and Höglander? Bailey is better than Highmore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't exactly entertaining for either teams end until late in the 3rd. I credit more so the PPs preventing any sort of Rags momentum shift. The PPs were pretty spread out and we had 12 minutes of full on PP time since there was no 2 man advantage. Rags didn't really build any momentum on their PKs. They played a boring game as well and couldn't build any momentum because of the penalties. They scored pretty quickly into their PPs and 2 of their 5 PPs were late in the game on that 5 on 3. So only 1 full PP time(killed PP) until the last 55 for the Rags compared to 12 minutes of full PP time for the first 55 minutes of so for us IMO both teams weren't great or particularly awful. We just had the better spread of things with PP time. Nothing was going for us until Garland stepped up big in the 3rd and the PK did at the very end of regulation. Demko had to be lights out too in pivotal moments. Nothing was going for the Rags either besides Panarin stepping up and Igor(like Demko). It was that type of game for both teams. Garland and Demko got us into the position for Miller to be the hero. HM to Poolman who had a couple huge blocks on that PK late.

The Rangers were asleep from having to PK the whole time, we were at home and we provided nothing until the third period. Special teams is the new NHL and we are struggling big time Huh? Rangers should have gotten momentum from killing those penalties. We stuck to it. Yes the special times are killing us but overall we out played them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won the game despite being snakebitten compared to the Rangers. You can't just say "Oh, it doesn't matter if the power play is unlucky, they have to score anyway." There have been many games back from 2010 where the special teams were out of this world good, yet the Canucks still came out on the wrong end of how many PP goals were scored. IT'S BECAUSE LUCK IS A THING THAT EXISTS. This game was the most complete by the Canucks from beginning to end this season, and if you say this wasn't, please tell me a game that was. They played well in 1 period. I do agree it was probably the most complete game this season though. Usually it’s only about 10 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully most of that evens out with all the firepower up front. If that happens with Demko playing like he is we’ll be a tough team to beat most nights.

I saw it differently. Those PPs should have ruined any momentum. We kept at it and got more PPs. I actually didn’t wanna see any more PPs because I thought we had a better chance to win 5 on 5 and that became true. The team should have be deflated but they stuck to it. Nothing really exciting happened till the third true but the first 2 periods we pushed the play even though we weren’t getting very good chances 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't work that way. We've been criticizing his systems for the mounting losses over the last 3 games at home, then he wins this one, and he still gets criticized? Help me understand what do you mean when you say Green was his usual blender/blunder self? Why doesn't he deserve any praise or credit for this win? I agree with you that Garland definitely the best player tonight against the Rangers. He was buzzing out there all night. That’s literally how it works. If you’re a constant hinderance to the success of the team, even when they eek out a win, then you don’t get credit for that win. You still shoulder the blame for the hinderance through mismanagement of talent, ice time, line combos, and other variables that Green is in control of. He’s the new ‘Shotgun’. Shotgun Green is firing scattershot lines and combinations hoping something hits the target. The team won tonight despite his continued Blenderama. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper007 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 25 minutes ago, Sharpshooter said: He didn’t win $&!#. He was a passenger in this win train. The team won on their own effort. Particularly Demko, Miller, Podz and several others who upped their play individually. Green was his usual blender/blunder self. Green deserves no praise or credit for this win. Edit- And Garland! How could I have forgotten to mention probably our best forward tonight. So .... Green gets no credit for putting Garland up with Petey and JT? If you're going to blame him for the losses, you need to credit him with the wins. Personally I don't credit Green for wins/losses. I put that all on the players. They're the ones playing. You blaming the coach for all the losses, yet when they win he gets no acknowledgment is beyond stupid. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksJay Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 16 minutes ago, wallstreetamigo said: Good teams don’t have to rely on luck finding them. They make their own luck. Our PP is pretty much garbage. No finish or killer instinct on it at all. Switch OEL for Hughes and Garland for Miller. Might be able to hit the net and make a play. I would second this. its beyond absurd we haven't tried OEL and Garland on PP1. Miller's weak backpasses are interception magnets on the PP. However Garland and Miller have shown chemistry. I think one of Petterson or Miller needs to move to PP2. Petterson is always poised for the shot so it seems like Hughes always looks like he has to feed him the puck and the same cycle continues over and over again. Move OEL and Garland to PP1 and move Hughes and Miller/Petterson to PP2. Well get better looks for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
