Post-Game Talk: [GM7] Canucks defeat Blues | 5-0 (Hughes (2), Di Giuseppe, Miller, & Mikheyev) | Return of the PGT!

Why so angry?

Canucks fans can’t be happy that teams off to their best start in years?

No no. Happy is fine. I too am happy.

There are posts about something else.

I saw a ton of sticks in lanes and excellent anticipation from the Canucks in all zones. Ian Cole made a play that @Vector mentioned where he darted into the slot in the d-zone to intercept what was going to be a classic Myers giveaway. I can't remember exactly what happened and I wish I could re-watch it. I just remember thinking that Cole absolutely knew Myers was about to make a bozo play and expertly neutralized the threat. It was seriously impressive and also hillarious.

I am soooo looking forward to the Rangers game. Every game played so far has been a different test, and this one with the Rangers is our 1st back to back game.

Holy shit.

i thought that was just for the canucks until i clicked on it.

Myers was in the corner and lost an easily winnable puck battle to Kapanen. Kapanen made a pass to the slot to a streaking Blue but Cole was already darting to the front of the net and just picked off the pass like it was intended for him.

Here's the thing....
if you didnt know Cole was Cole... like, he had no name on the back of his jersey, and you never saw his face so you didnt know who he was from like his skating style (as in you never watched tampa / colorado games from prior years etc).
but you see his stat line (6 hits, 15 blocks, +3 yet only 1 assist, 51% corsi rating) , and you watched every shift he played this year so far...and someone said to you, "okay who is that? what is he as a Dman ranking and what do you think he makes per year."
i bet you, everyone on here would be like
"SOLID second pairing No.4 guy, defensive guy, kind of fiesty... Probably making $4 million if it was a 1 year deal".

he's definitely playing better than expected imo. i hope this is what we get all year

That's an awfully specific description for a bunch of people to share.

I think this is like the good karma we’re supposed to get after almost a decade of Benning

 

[GranvilleIsland]

Imagine this team with just Bear over Myers? Next off-season we could get someone like Tanev and this team could actually be a contender.

34 year old Tanev? On how long of a contract. Better off looking for a 27 year old Tanev.

They need both if we are being honest here.

People thinking Tanev wouldn't age well is what got us into this mess. Never bet against brains and skating. He should retire here, and we can all forget that he ever wore that abomination of a jersey.

Plus we already drafted the next one..

I will take the Macedonian Grease God back and I will imagine what it will look like when Hughes passes the cup to him (I don’t support AI art scraping pls don’t make it)

Depends on the contract.

Ermagherd...a post game thread. I cried, I had a shot of Pat Quinns favourite whiskey and then hugged my pillow in a consensual way.

I'm bridesmaid like tearing up here boys...

So is the 2nd chart trying to say that this team is due to come back down to Earth? Big discrepancy between GF% and xGF%.
