2/8 B’s v Canucks- Muck with the Canucks 7:00pm
- Thread starter Dewey's 'stache
- Start date
They're up 10 to 9 over the Bruins in high-danger chances (all situations). They're playing at least decently, but the Bruins have been pretty lucky tonight.
I haven't really followed them closely at all, but the turn around seems to have started when Tocchet took over as coach
Yeah, stranger than fiction. They have some young players and The coach has done a decent job getting productivity from the team overall. The Vancouver fans are planning a riot again for this June.
Is it me or are Vancouver's defense masters of the Radko Gudas technique of just fucking tackling guys?
I actually checked their roster to see if he was there after a few of the recent "sitting on a guy" occurrences.
Ok, what is the protocol for thread starting after a win? I started this thread (my first ever) Do I start the next one?
Still some rough edges to work out, 5v5 possession game still isn't quite there. But they cashed in early opportunities and Ullmark took care of the rest. Hugs.
Surprised that this was only Ullmark's 7th career shutout. Swayman has that many since the start of last season and 12 for his career.
Tbh, despite the W/L juggernautting, I think that's who they really are. A little thin in parts of the top 18, and stacked in goal.
I was more surprised it was his first of the year, but then I remembered shutouts are hard. Especially in today's game.
Linus had 2 last year in 48 GS. Sway actually had 4 in 33 GS. But I won't revisit that playoff platoon thing.
Yea, you're right on about that. They've been (barely) underwater on expected goals all year, but killing it on actual goals. But more of the point I had in mind was that in the two games they've been back from break they've been a bit disjointed 5v5, especially on breakouts and connecting passes in general. In other words I think they're still shaking off some rust.
