Post-Game Talk: [GM41] Canucks defeat Islanders | 5-2 (Hughes, Hronek, Pettersson, Myers, & Joshua) | WAGON

Chef Allvin, get cooking

 

[Lawzy]

Perhaps the most impressive win of the season.

Anyone check on Johnny Canucker lately?

 

[SillyRabbit]

Is it too early to start thinking about the playoff picture?

Pacific first round is going to be a bloodbath.

If we can avoid the Golden Knights and Kings and let them cannibalize each other over a 7 game series, that would be huge.

Even better if we can get a matchup like Nashville in the first round on top of that.

@Baby Pettersson Could you merge the other PGT into this one?

Trying to it gives me an error code.

So I'd say it's a given that Allvin and Rutherford are going to add at the deadline. The question is, do we agree with it? Are we buyers at the deadline and take a run at the cup for what may be one off miracle season or do we stay conservative and let the next few years play out for what could be a possible contention window?

DeSmith is such a great interview

Would be foolish not to add to this team. This IS the contention window that has been pried open

We are on the verge of becoming elite.

 

[Canuckle1970]

What I love about this team is the obvious skill they have, but how they back it up by with hard work and effort.

 

[EpochLink]

Solid win, we good.

 

[Flik]

WE WAGON

 

[iceburg]

a +53 goal differential in 41 games. That's a little nuts.

 

[Vector]

It’s f***ing unbelievable the huge leap this team has taken. Brought in competent management who then identified the right coach and upgraded the roster with good support players on great contracts. Reading that, it seems so damn simple.

This season is beyond everyone’s wildest expectations, even the team President’s.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

West coast is the best coast.

 

[thekernel]

Wow, there is some magic happening right now. I couldn't believe we were playing so good on a road b2b. Our D with Soucy Myers and Zadorov poking pucks loose all over the place feels like being wrapped in a cozy blanket.

 

[iceburg]

And to think this was the year I decided to get back in to season tickets...only a quarter share but all I need.
Getting ready to buy some playoff tickets!!

Pdo

This is so important. All these guys in support roles just works.

 

[arttk]

Same record as the 2010-11 team. Undefeated leading into the 3rd. Highest scoring team in the league. Best goal differential. Lotto Line is unstoppable. Defense is outstanding. 3rd line is the 2nd line.

Hype

Canucks is your one true love.

I don't want to really screw with this line up. They all seem to like each other and be playing well.

I hope that Petey decides that winning is the most important thing and that this is the place to do it.

I think the only thing they need to do is add depth that can weather the playoffs. Sadly, the only way to do that is with players that we can send to Abby because they don't have to clear waivers. Players like that are going to be damn near impossible to find.

Myers, Hronek and Zadorov are built for the grind of the playoffs. thats pretty much half of our defence. Soucy and Cole are decent size too.

We have Podkolzin sitting in Abby who should be able to weather the grind as a forward. Calling it now, he will come up as a depth piece and earn a spot and never go down again.

With regards to a post from the other thread, I repeat:

Between their price gouging during the pandemic, and some of the worst commercials in history, I may never shop at Save On Foods Again.

They are the nearest store to me, and I don't think I have been in there in a 6 months. And I have to go to that mall to go to the liquor store.

We’re going to wake up one random work day in February to see that Allvin and Jim have traded our 1st and prospects for a legit 2nd line rental and defensive depth

And I can’t wait
