Two versions / visitors vs homers broadcasts...

Thanks for that Micky. It was interesting listening to the differing opinions. Is that Potvin giving the colour for Florida?

The post game clips were interesting too. The players talked about answering the bell before the game, good on them. Matheson was challenged at least 3-4 times and declined to fight. As is his right. At least the team didn't go all Bertuzzi.

I thought all the D except Pouliot looked good tonight.

Goldobin had a noticeable lacklustre game, really the only criticism Green had was his lazy penalty saying that was an example of him stopping to skate, a habit they are trying to break him of and one of the reasons he gets benched.

A good performance and a win at the right time. Three out of four points these past two games allows Pettersson a little breathing room if he still has any pain or discomfort. Along as we are getting points no need to rush him back.

Loved the response by the Canucks tonight. It was was the right one. Also Gudbranson going ape at the end. Good on Brower for stepping in and controlling and calming him down, he could have done some damage to Hayley(?) for that cheap shot.

I forgot...who did hayley cheap shot?

[Topper]

Blah game. Two lower tier teams playing a lower tier brand of hockey.

Canuck fans were reminded:

- of the best and the worst of Luongo. After some stellar saves, he gave up on the Eriksson and Granlund goals

- of the lack of balls in retribution. Roussel was the only one to go after Mathelson in a post whistle scrum and even that was half hearted. Apparently others tried in game with no success. At that point the issue needs to forced.

Loui has been doing those little thing all season, last night they paid off with personal stats. Has Hoffman's girlfriend made him accustomed to being the little bitch?

Surprisingly, the lil' trojan played ok. Did anyone else note that he limited his ridiculous offensive forays as well. Weird, staying in position more means being caught of out of position less.

Goldobbin is going backwards. Fast. The strides he made late last season have been erased.

What the hell is with the goofball staged fight? Useless. A bunch of collar grabbing wrist flick jabs mixed with round house misses. Oooooooo tough guys.

Leivo apparently, hence why he took a shot at a different Panther later.

Just shows the start of it, at the end of the video

I have noticed hes simplified shit the past few games. Quite alarming honestly as i had written, signed and collected the royalties from writing his book already.

Fuck i dunno if im just super baked all the time but is troy stetcher changing into a more reliable defender? Ive noticed hes been making the safer play more often than not of late.

Ah ok. Thanks.

Liked Leivos game yesterday. He hangs onto pucks in the o-zone opening up plays for his linemates.

Many people in the media refer to Goldobin as exciting and dynamic. Maybe in junior? Even with the puck it is nearly certain there is a turn over and numbers heading back into our zone. I don't understand the love affair.

Your thought on the fight mirrors my own views on fighting in hockey. Yaaawn. I'm surprised there are not more broken hands.

[Mickey107]

Weeeeeeeee!

After the previous game, the media and analytics guys were going off on talk radio, absolutely losing their shit about why Goldobin wasn't on for OT even though we had possession for most of it.

Most coaches will always have at least one responsible type guy out there. Even the Sedins didn't play that much in the new OT format.

And yet after last night's game, you have some of them starting to agree that Green might be right about his treatment of Goldy. Flip-floppers.

Absolutely brutal PP without Petey.

I miss the days when the twins gained the zone with the exact same play whenever they wanted and set up the PP with ease. Sure, they never shot it but hey, it never looked this amateurish.

Saw a stat that with Petey on the ice in PP, the Canucks have scored 20 goals and allowed one short handed.
The Canucks PP without Petey on the ice has scored six and allowed five short handed goals against!

Also, supposedly, Petey has been on the ice for 70% of the goals the Canucks have scored this season.

The Canucks are one team with him and a completely different without.

[Meds]

Defence pairings look the best they have in weeks.

Loui actually showed up. Bout fucking time

This Friday is payday.....

The next Captain, Per, the next Captain. This is Petey's team as long as he's here.

Still think it'd be better to let someone more experienced be captain.
Petey should just focus on playing the game.
