Post-Game Talk: Minnesota 6, Vancouver 3: Hat-trick for Granlund. Their Granlund.

[Archangel]

Keep the pro-tank comments to the tank thread. For now.

Also:

There is a difference between tanking and rebuilding. We need to rebuild. We do not have to lose, but we need to address some rather large holes on this team and in the organization

 

[Ozone]

Exactly, and with a schedule from hell coming up. I'm not worried in the slightest about our draft pick. It's going to be another high one. We just need this useless management to get it right.

*Insert celebratory fireworks gif after this single digit IQ management is put to pasture.*

I'm happy when we win, although it's the old Minny Wild boring defensive win, but we need Trev and Jim gone.

Super happy to see Hansen back though!

He had a great opening half, until his legs caught up with him.

 

[Frank Garrett]

Why does After Hours have to bring back memories of when we didn't suck so bad?


LOL @ Carter calling them the Brother Line.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Dammit I forgot to watch After Hours!! Is it over?

 

[NuxFan09]

Man, Anson Carter. That brings back memories. Melancholy, in a good way.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Seeing those tributes gives me happy flashbacks of exciting hockey. Be nice to get some franchise talents soon so we can have that feeling again. This organization has just gradually got more depressing since the president trophy days .

I had a dream last night were we won this game, and our Granlund got a hat trick, and we proceeded to trade Hutton and Baertschi after the game for James Neal.

It was oddly specific.

Wow... freaky... you had a Granlund hat trick dream, but you got the wrong Granlund!

 

[The Drop]

Wow... freaky... you had a Granlund hat trick dream, but you got the wrong Granlund!

Or maybe it was the right Granlund

 

[Ozone]

Funny, I was just thinking about this during the game. At this point in their careers, they look so useless playing together, both at even strength and on the PP. What they can still do very well, though, is pass. Stick one of them on each of the top two lines to stir the drink.

D. Sedin - Horvat - Eriksson
Baertschi - H. Sedin - Hansen

Seriously worth a look!

Is there a clause in their contract that they have to play together? Of course, no.


Just like an old married couple; they are stale, and have lost new and exciting thoughts.


Time to inject some youth.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

Larsen is barely nhl quality, if that

Benning said,,,,hes great at walking the line on the pp,,,,is he god at scrums too,,,no wonder we are where we are.Until all these idiots are gone,,this will not be any better..

 

[RobertKron]

Outside of Salo. Who's our best Finnish player we've ever had? Tikannen?

Lumme?

 

[TaLoN]

Or maybe it was the right Granlund

Possibly... he just said your Granlund... what if his dream had MiG in a Canuck uniform and MaG in a Wild uniform by mistake?

Just thought of something else:


Hansen is the odd man out in expansion draft though. Love him. Trade him. Boeser will take his spot.

Yet, this leaves Benning in charge of a trade....

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Ya def Lumme. Completely forgot

Ruutu would probably rate 3rd.

 

[VanJack]

God bless that fourth line for the Canucks....they try hard.....but is there a more unskilled forward in the NHL than Chaput?....can't take a six foot pass; can't even stay on his feet....Gaunce looks like he might go goal-less for the entire season....surely one has to go in off his rump sooner or later.

But the most sobering thing about this game, is that if by some miracle the Canucks actually finished in a wildcard game, they'd face either the Sharks or the Wild....they'd be golfing after four games anyway, and would just sacrifice a decent draft position.

 

[Cancuks]

 

[Captain Bowie]

Ruutu would probably rate 3rd.

Skriko at least 3rd. Definitely ahead of Ruutu.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Yeah that's probably just sentimental speaking on my behalf hahaha

 

[petrishriekandgo]

Skriko at least 3rd. Definitely ahead of Ruutu.

Awww, thanks!

 

[canuckster19]

Ruutu would probably rate 3rd.

Nah, Petri Skriko is definitely top three for you kids who weren't around in the 80s

 

[Captain Bowie]

Hey come on now I was in diapers when the 90's started but I can still recognize greatness/very goodness lol.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Went to the game --

Pros: Horvat scores every time I wear his Knights jersey. Also the Hank tribute was really nice.

Cons: everything else. Team isn't well built but my god is the coaching making it worse. Seeing the 4th line getting so many o zone starts gives me cancer. Ditto Larsen.

 

[Kryten]

Geeze how good of a 1990 new years party was that?

 

[Ryp37]

That play where Sbisa lost the board battle, Sutter flipped it up the boards past an oblivious Granlund right to their D basically sums this team up

 

[Captain Bowie]

Let's just say I **** myself and was in bed by 8.
