Post-Game Talk: [GM15] Canucks defeat Canadiens | 5-2 (Garland, Mikheyev, Joshua, Boeser, and PDG) | Right Back At It

[Grub]

I didn't see Soucy's injury. Did it look bad?

He blocked a shot with the back of his leg, it looked pretty bad. Hopefully it's just a bruise and not a broken foot.

Regression hits differently

Regression can have regression.

 

[PavelBure10]

Thats a pretty good road trip if you ask me. 3 games out of 4 nights, only lost one. Not bad.

Regression can have regression.

Oh shit

 

[Canucks LB]

Garland

 

[Tact]

Call up Wolanin, Friedman back in, Juulsen to press box

Gonna go read the cluster f*** that is the oilers nepo hire thread tonight too

 

[valkynax]

Anyone else absolutely despise oilers fans?

No, they are the most wonderful fans in sports.

Casey DeSmith is damn good, one of our better backups ever so far.

Massive pro scouting win here. We've got a legit 2nd option where we don't have to cringe all night when Demko isn't playing.

 

[Regal]

Those last two 5-on-5 empty net goals are devastating if we ever want our PDO to return to the mean.

Empty nets aren’t recorded for 5v5 numbers. But for some sites they’re included in ES. So those can still be pumped up

Such a f***ing embarrassment to the league. jfc

It feels so good to actually watch crisp, exciting games again.

I don't think Montreal has a single true 1st line forward, but I would love Caulfield on this team. He seems to mesh with anyone on the ice.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Miller and Hughes tied with Kucherov for 2nd in the league in points. Only 2 points behind slumping Petey

 

[bbud]

Nice work on b2b take home 2 more points good work tonight)

 

[Flik]

I think tonight's game means I've watched more regular season Canucks games in this one season than I have since..... like 2013 or 2014.

Almost a decade~.

Feels good to give a shit again!

 

[Grub]

The Oilers should have been all over Casey.

 

[wonton15]

Knob lock

 

[ziploc]

All three games on the road trip end 5-2. That's weird.

 

[God]

For the 20+ years I've watched hockey, I've always felt like Montreal just has a bunch of 3rd liners or 3rd/4th/5th defensemen and a random top 50 player assembled into a lineup. I don't feel that way when I watch other teams unless they're rebuilding, and with Montreal they seem to do it while rebuilding or making the playoffs.

I know I am probably wrong, but I can't shake this out of my head.

Hire who Connor approves only lol

 

[CpatainCanuck]

This start gives the Canucks 12 more points in their first 15 games than they had last season (23p vs 11p).

If they just match their record of last year in the last 67 games of the season, they will finish with 95 points, which was good for a wildcard playoff spot last season.

 

[valkynax]

I think Montreal is doing pretty well, with all things considered. Caulfield is looking good, as is Suzuki and Monahan.

Too bad Dach got injured, this was a critical year for him.

Play shitty games, win shitty prizes.

Agreed, they never had a star player. Last was maybe Kovalev and Subban (During his very short prime).

Hope islanders destroy them at home tomorrow)
