Goaltending Controversies and Christmas Trees

December 08, 2014

The Canucks headed into this weekend on a high, having just shutout the Pittsburgh Penguins. Then they crashed and burned against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators, causing consternation in Canucks nation.


Daniel and Harrison discuss those two games, questioning whether Stephane Robidas should have received a suspension for his elbow to the head of Shawn Matthias, Radim Vrbata’s filthy goal on Craig Anderson, Derek Dorsett’s fight against Chris Neil, and Brad Richardson’s unexpected point streak.


They also talk about the elephant in the room: the goaltending. Is it okay to call it a controversy? Should Eddie Lack get more starts? How much leeway should Ryan Miller get for his wins? Is this all just media hype?


Before all that, they share stories of Christmas trees and destroyed ornaments.
