Canucks vs. Bruins Scoring Chances - Game 3

If you won't bite it, smell the finger.

In a game that was more Slapshot than Cup Final, I don't know that we can glean much from the scoring chances.  Instead of spending 70-75% of the game at even strength, the Bruins and Canucks spent 60% of the game at even strength - 36:18.

Boston - Best and Worst

Top ES Forward:  Milan Lucic, Daniel Paille, Chris Kelly, Mark Recchi, Patrice Bergeron, Rich Peverley, Michael Ryder +1

Bottom ES Forward:  Shawn Thornton -3

Top ES Defenseman:  Johnny Boychuk +2

Bottom ES Defenseman:  Dennis Seidenberg  -5

Don Cherry lauds Shawn Thornton, of course, as the reason for the win.  Unfortunately, the only thing Thornton did was get ejected.  One positive with Thornton on the ice was Peverley playing on the third line rather than the fourth.  Kelly and Ryder were both very good.  If I were Julien, I'd think long and hard about moving Peverley into Horton's spot in the lineup and putting Seguin back on the third line with Kelley and Ryder.  Peverley played the toughs in Atlanta and can handle the minutes - Seguin will one day.

Sami Salo was +1 in this game and it wasn't a fluke.  He was +5 in scoring chances and the only dude to win his battle convincingly.

Game 3??

Is this your game 2 analysis or game 3? I can’t seem to find the game 2 analysis anywhere, and your last paragraph is identical to your game 1 final paragraph!

Top ES Defenseman: Johnny Boychuk +2

Venkman: This city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath of God type stuff.
Venkman: Exactly.
Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes…
Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Venkman: Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!

I saw Boychuk with a +2 and made a mental note to make a sarcastic comment. Since I doubt I can top yours I will just recommend it instead.

Thornton also drew a penalty that lead to a PP goal as well.

In theory, there is little difference between practice and theory, but in practice there is!

Some of the SH numbers are pretty interesting. Dan Paille, 5:29 SH TOI, no chances against, one for (a goal, by him). That’s a nice night’s work.

On the Vancouver side there are some bad looking numbers. Christian Ehrhoff, a decptive +5/-2 at evens, had one of the worst games by a point man that I can remember. Had the jitters, couldn’t keep the puck in, couldn’t make a decent breakout pass, and when the play went the other way he either had no idea what to do, or no inclination to actually do it.

Sometimes you look awful and it doesn’t hurt while other times you look great while getting the shit kicked out of you.

Lovely game.

And sometimes you play like shit until you do get it kicked out of you. From a VanCity perspective, this was one of those.
