That defence you slagged has given up the fewest shots and the fewest grade A chances of all teams in the playoffs. If their goalie could have stopped a beach ball this series would be over
The disrespect Bouchard gets league wide is astounding. I’d take him over Pietrangelo and it’s not even close at this point. The guy is averaging almost 30 mins a game in this series and dominating. Try watching the game man he’s a bonafide #1 defenceman.
When you’re 150 lbs and the temperature gets turned up in playoffs and there is more bumping and less space. True colors come out. Peterson isn’t the only “star” player to be invisible these playoffs. 🤷🏼♂️ just my opinion
It's a fair bet which ever team wins tonight... is the team that will win the series. The Canucks low shots on net is a disturbing stat. They need to play a balanced game, you can't hit everything in sight and neglect to shoot the puck on net. Sounds strange but they hit too much, they sacrifice a scoring opportunity and instead elect to take a player into the boards. The Juulsen mistake of cranking Echolm is a prime example. That Miller misplay on the blocked Bouchard winning goal was rudimentary... if he's not prepared to give 100% effort in stopping the buck...get the fuck outta the way, that was lethargicly feeble. He lost the game for the Canucks.
Not every player takes pride in winning; some just treat it as a job. Despite EP40 always emphasizing that he plays to win, clearly he hasn’t lived up to his words.
