Boeser’s last-minute heroics give Vancouver an unlikely victory
I’ve talked to many players and coaches about how they feel leaving a city after a game and there’s pretty much a universal answer amongst everyone.Win and some will tell you that you feel like a pirate – you came in, got what you wanted and now you’re leaving with your treasure.
Improbable in the sense that Silovs started the game for the injured Casey DeSmith, who had started the previous two games for the injured Thatcher Demko.“First off, we know we can play better. We know we didn’t play good enough tonight. We’ve had a few scenarios this season where we’ve got some six-on-five goals and we kind of know the looks we want. Sometimes they go in and sometimes they don’t. Luckily, they went in tonight,” Boeser said afterwards.
With the series shifting back to Vancouver for game five on Tuesday, the Canucks know that they have to play better if they want to finish off the pesky Preds. As we mentioned in this space last week, it all starts with winning puck battles. Vancouver head coach Rick Tocchet mentioned post-game that “we’ve got to get some guys in the fight a little bit more” and without naming names you know that Elias Pettersson has to be at the top of that list.
