Post-Game Talk: Canucks defeat Senators | 5-2 | Thanks for the Good Time, Ray

[krutovsdonut]

weird game. or at least the half i watched. it's like the canucks have taken a giant leap now that they have a system they believe in, and so they can act like a veteran good team and have a quiet lazy road night swatting the sens like a distraction. it was ugly but ugly structured. watching the second half of the game they gave the sens very little and no traction. pettersson looked horrible until he didn't. miller scored a backbreaker. these are things i have seen before but not with a team so recently a basement dweller.

the team is playing smart patient hockey even when being lazy. they dominate possession while looking halfassed.

it is a 132 pace right now. they can't sustain that so there will be some regtression.

but i think they might be really good and not just a make the playoffs lineup.

Good to get a win from the backup, when we didn’t have our best game, against a team below us in the standings. In recent years none of those things have come easy.

Hopefully there is no excuse for this team to not come out with a great effort on Saturday against Toronto. Real big chance to have a statement game in front of a National audience.

 

[krutovsdonut]

A great signing from the management team. I was skeptical at first, but this new management team has proven me wrong since getting the proper pro scouts. We never had our free agents pan out and now we see these new free agents perform right away with the team.

they've made me look dumb multiple times with seeming overpayments on the pieces they have added.

Going over to the Oilers board and reading how we're absolutely, definitely going to crack at some point is just icing on the cake.

Truly bizzare

Like even if you still belive that your statement was correct, you can still enjoy while things are going well and then go back to shitting on the team if things go bad again.

It's literally a game, no one with a brain cell will blame you for jumping the ship

There's a reason we all were negative with this team after losing for a decade. Now that we are dominating again and back up there, it's just nice to discuss hockey again. We're all 10 years older now I think the maturity level should be better. I haven't had an infraction since 2009, that's maturity folks.

I think we were all just programed to see our free agent signings fail after the last decade.

Excited to see Blueger, likely for the Montreal game. Replacing Beauvillier will make that Hog/Laff line even stronger.

Yeah I don't get it. Like I was completely wrong about a bunch of things, but have never been happier to be wrong. I just want the f***ing team to win, and win a lot. Just like...... all of us....?

They cant start like this on Saturday. Toronto has too many star forwards that they might fall behind a couple goals in a short period of time

How a lot of the other boards are slowly devolving into the things they said we were in 2011 is one the best gifts I've ever received.

I still find it hilarious that I got banned from that board for liking a post I actually just agreed with.

Oh, I live for the moment of us going into the playoffs as the most hated team in the league. Instead of it being cause of swagger and "arrogance" it'll be "they're just lucky!!!!!"

It'll be so damn good if we actually make a run of this.

We need to go full heel while the team is filled with likable players.

The reason why I was never truly on board during any win streak in the last 4-5 years was because Jimbo had never shown any signs of competentcy therefore I had no hope that things might turned around.

But Jimbo is not here anymore, the new management has been very honest with us about team assessnment and all of their moves have legit logic behind them, what is not to like?

Sorry to hear that bud. It's been a good year for me my expected girlfriends/60 has been off the chart!

There was a glimmer of hope after the Bubble playoffs, but Jim Benning went to destroy that little hope by letting Tanev & Toffoli walk.
