I don't really pay attention to Oilers fans. They're 4-9 lmao
Great road game played by your guys.
Canes will have more push when Svetch is back and their top lines will be more potent too.
Right now Carolina still has a goaltending disadvantage versus Canucks and other top teams

Canucks very much controlled a lot of the first two periods but had to lean on Demko to get the win. (think it was about 9 shots at the second intermission for Canes). Overall a deserving win.
Good
Lindholm - showed his smarts on the PP and was good in the general flow of the play although him and the meandering Pettersson not in sync. You've got to give that pair a chance but Pettersson always seems to better when he is with Miller
Miller - does some weird stuff at times but his defensive game, in general, continues to improve. Guy is such a good player who can control shifts when he takes a mind to do so.
Demko - outstanding late in the game. Critical to the win.
Garland - never lacks fight or enthusiasm. Set up Joshua all game, again. If Joshua pulls down a good salary should give part of it to Garland. Hard to remember Garland ever having a bad shift.
Hronek - best game in a while. Look like he was early in the season and guess the break did him some good. Had to carry Hughes in his zone in this game.
Myers - supported the play up ice and was important in his zone. Used his size well around the net. Good in the late going
Not very good
Pettersson - telegraphs every thing he does and is turning over the puck far too much. As the game went on you weren't sure who was center - him or Lindholm. Lindholm was doing the right things coming back but often had Pettersson cutting through his lane.
Most of the time Pettersson was running around and lots of the time carrying the puck into danger. Also he seems to want to be bang people maybe trying to prove he is man enough to it. If it is part of the play and productive then the hit can be justified but often he seems to take himself out of the play to make a useless hit. Again,I would say that the only time Pettersson has really excelled this year is on the wing with Miller. Maybe they should just leave him there. In the end, Pettersson looks more like an NHL winger than a center. I would say that Pettersson game still lacks maturity. He is an exceptional talent but there are some mental aspects of the game he seems to lack.
Others
Hughes - Didn't look right coming off all the All Star game shenanigans. Wasn't coming out of the zone with the same speed and had a tough night around his net. Still he gets 2 assists.
Micheyev - best game in a while. Used speed to force the play and had a decent two way game. Step in the right direction
Zadorov - big presence who kept Canes jittery and honest.
Juulsens - keep expecting a drop off in play but not seeing it. His focus is so much better than earlier play with this organization.
NIce win coming out of the break and sustains the momentum team had going into it. Too bad Calgary beat Boston b/c they are going to come out hard in the next game. Nice that Kuzmenko seemed to get off to a good start with the Flames. Lindholm certainly did with the Canucks

Had dinner while watching the end of the Avs game, which the Avs lost in regulation. Thank you, Devils.
Impressed that we won while our best players (except Hughes) didn't have their best games. Have to give credit to Carolina, too.

I was unable to post … for a few months … not by my choice ….
What do they call it when you go to jail, “going to college”

No doubt about it, I am ready to get hurt again
Kuzmenko helping the Flames beat the Bruins is the frosting, and if the Golden Knights beat the Oilers, it'd be the cherry on top.
Entertaining game and a great character win by the squad. Impressed by how well Lindholm fit with Pettersson already.

Canucks now with the undisputed top winning percentage in the NHL.
Canucks - .730
Yogis - .710

EP's play away from Miller is kind of concerning. Miller has thrived with whomever he has played with, everyone around him gets better. Other than last season, EP has been disappointing if he's not on the Lotto line. I'm really starting to believe Miller is our best forward.
With that being said Lindholm is going to love getting feeds from our core. He fits like a glove.

Im still waiting for our inevitable collapse as called out by some haters.
Lindholm was shooting an unsustainable career low 6% before the trade.
I never left and Im on the wagon completely.

I considered posting after the CBJ game something to the effect of “there goes any hope for Celebrini”.
Idk I care about the team first and foremost. Winning solves nearly any issue.

The kind of game that more than ever convinces you that the Canucks will be dangerous piece of work in the upcoming playoffs.
This was basically a playoff game tonight.....almost no open ice, and the night reduced to a lot of one-on-one puck battles. These are the kind of games that players like Joshua, Zadorov and Lindholm will rise to the occasion.
Also such a luxury to have a line like Blueger, Joshua and Garland......they tilt the rink into the offensive zone every time they take the ice.

Hronek going 8 games without a point is interesting but good for the contract demands. In no world should he get more than Hughes’ current contract.
