they clearly were playing that way early on, but as soon as it became 2-0 you saw them switch up the style back to the one which they usually play with Lu in net, a harder agressive forecheck which creates chances and in turn created a goal
if it wasnt for the 3rd goal from the flames im sure they would have had at least 2 more good chances before it was over |
I agree that it took 2 goals and close to 50 min of play for them to finally change their style and make an attempt at something, but if you say they were "playing" a defensive game, why did they give up so many 2 on 1's? I had totally thought they have been playing the dump and chase game since Lu has been hurt, but maybe Honda is watching games I didnt know were on.

lol, after two losses and everyone is arguing with each other already.
Canucks won several divisional games in this season already (including calgary early in the season). So what if they lose two to divisional rivals. It happens to every team. Not the end of the season.

Everyone should just relax. Nobody expected us to win the division. If we do, that's a bonus but I'll pass that up as long as we make the playoffs and surprise everyone then.
We don't need another division title, we want a cup damn it haha

Every team has a bump in the road thats all OMFG they lost 2 straight games what are we going to do.
So I heard on 1040 this morning that rumours are floating around that sundin will decide what team he will be playing for within the week.
Also just read on tsn that Burke has already requested permission to speak to nonis.

We've heard too many rumors from the media, and I don't trust anything his agent says.

It's not so much the two straight divisional losses. Its aboout recovering from them and playing real hockey again. Considering were have a road trip and without Lu.

| Quote: Mon, Dec 1 Luongo (groin) hit the ice for Monday's skate around. He did a few laps, but did not take any shots, the Vancouver Sun reports.
Recommendation: "It's a positive step in the right direction," Luongo said. "We'll take it from here day by day. It was a small step today and we're going to gradually try and increase the workload every day. It's just nice to be back on the ice." That's some good news for Luongo owners. If he continues to progress, Luongo might not be out the four weeks that his agent originally reported.

What a shit period from the Canucks. This game would have been 3-0 if it wasn't for Sanford.

Willie also has a weird ass ritual he does.
