sxqhfeh Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Petey got 50% of his game back, Podz keeps getting better, Hoglander and Garland are amazing, and Demko is Demko. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were stale and predictable up until tonight. Tonight was a good sign. If they can continue on that and build off it then maybe the stars can catch fire. More movement more problems for the opposing PK. Fix the PK and play in front of Demko now. Do all that and we can have a good rest of the month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Eddie Posted November 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 8, 2021 Aside from the big storyline. . . Man Hogz is turning into some player - if he could just work on that shot he'll be up there with the old Ehlers / Nylander club. With Podz looking like a serious player as well that 2019 draft could yet turn out to be the saving grace for the high profile misses we were discussing below. 3 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily see him getting passed Phil Housley's 9. Could probably get to Robert Picard, but beating Bobby Orr at 20 will be difficult. First, he has to pass the great Canuck Dave Babych, though. Took him a while just to tie him - smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Buzzsaw* Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 (edited) Much better game. The reason was simple... the team converted their PP opportunities. - Dallas took a ton of stupid penalties... Suter had a real bad night... constant brain farts... this was key. - Canucks supported the puck carrier when entering the zone on the PP. They had a person ready on the blue line for the Puck Carrier to drop or pass to. Almost every entry was good... that made a key difference in that the Canucks were then able to focus on setting up shots. - Canucks shot more often... they shot quickly... didn't wait, wasted less time on the ring around the rosy which they've been doing in past games. - There was actual movement on the PP... most noticeable on the second Miller goal... he switched up positions with Pettersson and confused the defense, they weren't ready to block his shot and he sneaked it past the Dallas goalie. - Bad news on the PP is they are still not moving the puck fast enough... too often a player takes a pass, then hesitates, stickhandles a bit, then passes off. When a player on the PP receives the puck he should immediately either shoot if there is room or pass off again. Canucks were still very lucky in that they gave up a LOT of chances to the Stars, including multiple semi-breakaways and 2 on 1's to Benn and Radulov, but Demko saved their butts as he only gave up one goal to those chances. As John says, Demko should be a 1st Star every game because he is constantly bailing out the defensive mistakes. Bad news is the Canucks are still too dependent on the PPG clicking and they still do not have a consistent defensive structure to protect Demko. Against a better team than Dallas they will struggle.
