Popular Post CanucksJay Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) 7 hours ago, Elias Pettersson said: We played well against all the top teams that we lost to. Even outshot Florida by a wide margin and outshot Tampa. Shots were close in the Carolina game as well. Our top 6 forwards let us down in those games, as our 4th line was the only line that was on the scoreboard. In watching the game today it was evident that we have lots of talent up front. Petey and Boeser need to be going in order for us to be able to win games. Petey went off today and had his best game all year. Boeser was doing well until he got injured, so hopefully he starts to play better when the team returns home. Not sure why Boudreau went with Hunt over Burroughs, but hopefully he learned from his mistake and Hunt never sees the ice again. I can see us going on another win streak. I wouldn't be surprised if we go 6-2 in our next 8 games. Petey is the key really. If he starts playing like a true #1 centre then we have a real good shot at a playoff spot. Yeah i was so annoyed when the critics came out of the woodwork after the recent losses. Losing to the 1st, 2nd and 4th best team in the entire league (pts/game) coming back from a long layoff, Demko being adequate but not quite Demko like, our stars not playing like they can and we still held our own (minus the Carolina game). To ignore our crazy win streak and use the 3 last games to come on here with an "I told you so" attitude regarding Green vs BB was sickening. It's like some fans rather have our guys lose to try proving a futile point rather than believe in the team. Is this team a championship calibre team? Not right now. If Demko stands on his head, maybe we might pull an upset but what we are is a playoff team capable of 2nd or 3rd round. We'll see how the Nashville game goes but they are the 2nd best team in the west currently. If we beat them tomorrow, why wouldn't we say we belong with the top teams? This tough road trip could be a blessing in disguise. We've had to be sharp and needed to get back to game speed pretty quickly. Once we start playing teams we need to catch like Cgy and Edmonton, i hope we continue to bring it like we have since BBs arrival. If we do, we have a good chance to catch those guys.

Unlike under Green i don't think BB will let the team play down to opponents (or get complacent), so the good play against the top teams on this trip should carry over to when we play the teams we're directly competing with for a playoff spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleyCupOneDay Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 If we win most of the games against the teams we’re competing for the playoffs with that are ahead of us in the standings we’ve definitely still got a shot. The Calgary games in particular will be crucial. EDM x2 CGY x4 WPG DAL x2 SJS LAK I can’t find a list of games rescheduled or if these games are the rescheduled ones anywhere, so there may be more opportunities for us then these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey has been mediocre all year. His drop off has been apparent to even casual fans. The last couple games he's been showing good signs though and he finally was able to bury 2 goals. Good sign moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Burroughs as a 6/7D for us No question about his heart and I would rather, see him than Hunt cause of age and long term fit: Hunt (33) and Burroughs (26). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid has it in him, I do think the injury was worse than we were told, and all that time off would be hard on any player. Whats silly is the hen house mentality of picking on the kid ad naseum. We're lucky to have him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Great win! Pettersson woke up, hoping he doesn't sleep again. Boeser also played well. Demko was solid this game. New Burrows - I love this kid, played well and physical. Coach team, please work with him to increase the ability of our D Group. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
