Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Review: Late Comeback & OT Survival, But Still Loss The Sedins kept rolling and the Vancouver Canucks scored a late goal to earn a point but the team ultimately fell 3-2 to the Dallas Stars on Friday night.

Getting the single point against Big D is good, but we should have won the first game and played well enough to win the second.

Anyone who tinks the Nux can't hang with the top dogs in the west needs to give their head a shake...

They get into the playoffs and they could be dangerous...

One game for the Dubinsky cross check. I think if you break your stick against the back of someones neck it should be at least 4 periods not 3

Lets be honest.... is taking a point from Dallas these days really considered a loss?

Great article, I've always though Sbisa had more upside than he was getting credit for in his first year with a new team/d-partners. There's always a curve with a new system and he's still a pretty young guy. Also, I really thought 5 on 5 in both games against Dallas that Edler/Tanev did an incredible job against that brutal top line. 3 on 3 is just brutal for this team, at this point they might as well start mixing things up... McCann/Vrbata? McCann/Bo. Sutter, we miss you.

That kind of slapping with a stick is just disrespectful, that's how you get cut off.

Pretty much spot on response.

Team needs to get healthy but really there's more than 50 games left in the season, they're trending like what we all thought they'd be, a bubble playoff team…which is fine.

Draft and develop!!!

It is the way we lost the second point that is the issue. Congrats on Canucks fighting back to earn the point .

This team has a serious issue with coaching. In the 3 on 3 again we had Weber Hamhuis and a forward on the ice. Playing not to lose. The shoot out was just stupid. McCann needs to be given a chance and so does Sven .

The PP we have 5 guys all playing to the outside. At one point you could have drove a cement truck through the middle and not hit a single player.

No team toughness.

These are all things that fall on the coaches shoulder. You have a guy like Pedan at 6'5 on the bench while Weber plays 2 pairing minutes and does nothing while Big Benn has all the freedom in front of Canucks net.

It pisses me off to see the same sh!t over and over

Thank God EK just confirmed Ryan Johansen won't be traded by Columbus, whatever he says the opposite happens so it's all good for my main man in the pool

i agree about Sbisa. I for one, don't believe in shiiteing on guys like Sbisa. In fact I'm pretty sure i defended the guy against the criticism.

Glad to see Carol you acknowledge the abuse some people on these boards gave the guy...

HOLY CRAP EK... IT'S 2015 AND MY 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER COULD MANAGE YOUR ADS BETTER THAN THE SLOW DOWN, BOG DOWN, STALLING PIECES OF CRAP PEOPLE YOU CURRENTLY HAVE AT THE ADVERTISING HELM.

I am going back to add block on Foxfire.

I am not sure how hard Marchand knee'd Lundqvist in the head, but it seemed funny to hear the segment before of the highlights (TSNTH2N) talk about hits to the head when it comes to checking, concussions mentioned, and then they show Lundqvist, and it isn't even considered...

Goalies have to be able to make saves, not sure how far they should be allowed out, players should be able to drive the net without bowling over the goalie, or not drive the net. Defensemen shouldn't push opposing players into their own goalie.

League can't expect the goalies to embrace smaller pads, equipment and such if they aren't going to protect them.

Can WD please stop putting 2 dmen out there for the 3v3?

The PP sucked and the Sedins got too much pp time.

Him and Hutton are my two favourite

I traded for Malkin in the pool, I hope y'all are ok with it

Really who the f@ck wants to see Higgins in the shootout. F@ck me.

He didn't he broke it on his pant pads after the initial incident. Hockey play. Worth a game no more than that. The thing I took notice of was not one of his team mates came to his defence. Barnaby may be on to something. Divided locker room in Pitts?

That about sums it up yeah.
