Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Preds - 5-2 - Hat-Trick Petey!

[Wry n Ginger]

Don't look now but we're 3rd place in the entire league.

Wait...you said "don't look", then you made us look.

Well that was fun. Just a joy this year.

Just a note, look at goal differential.

3 elite teams. VCR VG Bost

pretty much corresponds to overall rankings pretty good.

Dallas will be a really good test

 

[VanJack]

Definitely the shakiest Canuck effort on home ice so far this season.....game was a lot closer than the score indicated.

Canucks caught a break when the Preds started their backup Lankinen....three of the goals actually leaked through him, and he looked shaky on a lot of his saves.

Gotta' love Tocchet's 'tough love' for Miller in the second period....stapled him to the pine for a few shifts in the second period after he took a couple of dumb penalties in the offensive zone and then chirped the referee

Beauvillier had a strong game and was rewarded with a couple of assists. Looks poised to break out offensively, and always has been a streaky player. .

To be fair to Gord Miller, he requested a mulligan.

I didn't think the Canucks looked very good at all tonight. Very sloppy 1st, albeit the bad ice didn't help. Bailed out by bad Nashville goaltending.

Kind of look at it like the 2nd Edmonton game - take the points and move on. Going to be a few ugly ones along the way, nothing wrong with that.

Dont be too serious bro im just shitposting.

I just love that Miller response. It’s too good not to bring up!

 

[Tables of Stats]

This is the kind of game we'd have found a way to lose in previous years. Came out flat, bad ice, some questionable penalties, Miller getting hot under the collar, etc. but we held the line and our best players got the kind of results you need them to get. I wasn't a fan of the process but I'll easily take the result.

We appreciate your sacrifice

 

[oceanchild]

I looked and I also noticed that we are doing well in the goal differential as well.

Don't look now but we're 3rd place in the entire league

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Miller looked off his game.

I really liked Tochet benching him in the 2nd for the last 5mins or so.

Miller's problems, from what I understand, largely come when he makes a mistake and then tries to make up for that mistake and then he spirals in to oblivion. Being too hard on him self. Tochet calmed him down.

 

[God]

we finally found a coach that speaks JT's language

 

[canuckking1]

Canucks are 8 points up on the oilers after 9 games

My avatar stands until the day when every black hole evaporates into absolute nothingness via Hawking Radiation.

It stands as an eternal reminder of one of THE darkest/dumbest eras in Orca and pro sports history.

B-but, muh high PDO.

 

[alicia]

Yeah we won and yeah we’re 3rd in the league but HAVE YOU SEEN OUR xGF?! Pathetic team, tank for Celebrini ffs sick of watching uninspired hockey smh

 

[CanucksSayEh]

Hoglander penalty was BS, 2 minutes for being too strong.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Aren’t out of the water yet, anything other than a dominant win vs SJ is a disappointment. Get that win and we are talking as we always struggle with the wins we should have. Not convinced yet due to post traumatic syndrome

Totally normal line of thought. Regular season means nothing. Look at Bruins last season, best regular season team in history? Yeah Florida wiped their ass with Boston's face, suck on your participation trophy Marchand.

I think right now the take away is that the team is finding ways to win games when a lot of things are not going the right direction, and you can clearly see team's improvement when pressure mounts. A game such as tonight's would've likely resulted in last year's team snapping like toothpicks.

Yeah we're barely beginning to forge a path to playoffs, but now there are legitimate reasons for some cautious optimism.

 

[petterdaddy]

WE ARE ALL CANUCKS. COME ON, LETS GO.

Last time I’ve been proud to be a Canucks fan was literally 2012. Rick better be front runner for Jack Adams if bruh can keep this together the whole season.

So anyhow, let’s pretend I didn’t need a kidney and I’m selling one for playoffs tickets — are we doing left or right? Sometimes I get a weird cramp in the left area so maybe take the right one for buyer guarantee.
