The home team was no match for the playoff-ready Vegas Golden Knights in Saturday night’s 6-2 drubbing.
Points to ponder after the Canucks were manhandled in the first period, dug a three-goal hole before nine minutes elapsed and were no match for the playoff-ready Golden Knights in a 6-2 drubbing Saturday:
Game at a Glance, presented by @td_canada – #Canucks give up five 1st period goals in a 6-2 loss to the Golden Knights. pic.twitter.com/JYI07v1kwb “We’re going to learn something about our group tonight,” he predicted. It’s a great challenge. We didn’t step to the plate and were embarrassed in Las Vegas. We’re playing a team trying to win a Stanley Cup and I expect us to play better.”The Canucks had their moments, but after every goal, the Golden Knights cranked it up another notch and responded a minute later. That’s the mark of a good team and an average and transitioning one that’s still learning some tough lessons.
“You try to be focused and dialled in, but it seemed like every other puck found a way into the net and that can’t happen,” said Markstrom. “I tried to stay as calm as I could , and it’s embarrassing. Being down 5-1 after one period, that can’t happen at home.”The always-jovial, hard-to-rattle stopper entered the night first in wins and shutouts .
Our line is better than your lineImagine adding the trio of Max Pacioretty, Stastny and Stone to an already formidable Cup finalist roster? They’re the second Vegas line and would be a first alignment on most clubs. And that’s the trickle-down effect of getting something from everybody. It’s why the Golden Knights are poised for another postseason run and why the Canucks will need to add a bonafide scorer in the offseason.
