goalnut3133 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 We are on a 3-game winning streak, but must be taken with a grain of salt...beating Edmonton, Calgary, and Tuesday nite Jersey, were not exactly our biggest contenders (& a couple of those games just barely squeaking by!). Jersey was a bit of a surprise the way they fought us hard, & we had one really bad bounce off a ref's foot that ended up in our goal. But I'm quite happy with our play Tues nite, with some pluses: Lu played for us great, the emotions of the showdown against Schneids never got into his head, and I was pleasantly surprised by our 3rd line guys Santorelli & Richardson...Santorelli having 2 back-to-back game-winning goals in O/T, needless to say, a nice pick-up from the Jets on the cheap at $550,000. Tonite, however, is our biggest challenge on our streak (so-called)...we face one of our biggest opponents of this season again, the Sharks, having lost our last 10 games to them (including playoffs). The Sharks are brutal this year, off to a rampaging start, and that's even before mentioning the Hertl kid's flare. I think so far, Torts has helped us overcome some flaws in our game, one especially being becoming more aggressive on plays, not allowing us to give up on 2-0, 3-0 deficits (& come out winning), and shoring up on our defensive play. I see us getting progressively better in some areas, each game. But we are far from being a 'contender' yet, imo. So, tonite is going to be a real test for us...in showing how far we've come since our last shellacking loss of 4-1 from them 1 week ago. How do you think we'll do? Do we have a chance to win or even come close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihabs1993 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Luongo is gunna have to stand on his head, thats for sure. Sharks' offense is so potent this year. Canucks need to match the Sharks' offense and improve their defense to have a shot. I think the game will be closer than you'd think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Actually, goalnut, if Joe Thornton plays over 13 minutes, they have every chance in the world. What a sad sack player THAT dude is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Ewing Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) It's a single game, and winnable. Even a crap team with a hot goalie can win any given game. JR Edited October 10, 2013 by JR Ewing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
