we get the back breaker. plus the empty net goal. i love that
solid job by the dmen undermanned as they are. how long can myers do this?
pretty sure oel is playing hurt. ribs maybe. despite the setbacks i appreciated juulsen playing 17 minutes when he has no business doing that.

Far from a Rembrandt but ultimately a good workmanlike job.
Good
Miller - no question our best player and league wise probably in the top 15 or so. Excellent game where most things in the offensive zone went through him.
Pearson - should have scored but otherwise puck retrieval, like others on his line was very good - and some nice passes. Lately has established he can be top 6 material in the right circumstances
Boeser - work rate has definitely increased. Doing much better as down low player in the offensive zone than he was trying to score off the rush. Real basic change under Boudreau has been the way the team is looking for goals off the forecheck rather than the rush
Myers - another very good game. Doing it all right now including blocking shots, taking opponents off the puck, rushing or passing the puck out of trouble, keeping the puck in the offensive end - at this point having a tremendous season.
Hughes - just outstanding again. Be said over and over but there has been such an improvement in his own zone. Simply an elite player
Horvat - mostly carrying his line - getting back on defense so much better. Created a lot of chances and hopefully Hoglander and Dickinson can start to break out.
Demko - gave up a softie but otherwise good
Not so Good
Chaisson - ugh. Mr. Molasses. Is there anything better in Abby???
Dowling - didn't play much and that was likely a good thing. Any speed he showed early in the season has disappeared and likely still injured.
Brisebois - even in the brief time he was out looked very poor around his net. Remember when Benning always saying we had Brisebois on the way. Right now on his way to the AHL ASAP
Others
Burroughs - gets backed in way too much but has decent wheels. Best of the AHLers.
Dickinson - finally scored - had he missed that one would have established to a certainty that he was never going to put the puck in the net again . Does OK when he can play on the wing with Horvat - otherwise lack of stick skill really limits him
Juulsen - once again reminds me of Sopel. Got caught flat footed on the one goal but that was mostly on Demko. Can see foot speed is a concern but, at times, looked serviceable.
OEL - don't think he is completely healthy. Got beat wide a couple of times and is playing very conservatively.
Pettersson - again showing glimpses of past form and he is not cheating defensively. Still you'd like him to put a complete offensive game together.
Since Boudreau took over the people that should be leading the team are. Just about every experienced coach rides his horses and that what Boudreau is doing.

Good call, and thanks.
Note to self: buy new back-flap pants when fighting crime.
2nd Note to self: eat more old leftover fridge chili before fighting crime.

Done, done, onto the next one - one more win and we are at .500. Who would have thought?
It was a weird game - felt the Sharks controlled the puck more, but the Canucks got more high quality chances.
That we’ve managed to win two games in a row with a patchwork 5-man defensive unit is insane. Credit to the team for working through it, the coaches for keeping them engaged, and the goaltenders for making the key saves at the right time.
Beat the Leafs. Let’s make it 7 and get back to .500. Come on, boys!
BRUCE, THERE IT IS!

Baumer’s deal was up in the summer and the team brought him back. Whoever Backed that decision deserves to have been fired.

I was sure of it but I didn't want to say anything ....
The D depth chart is getting real thin....
Who's gonna come up next?
Who's gonna come up next?
Did we leap frog anyone tonight? Get any closer to that wildcard?
Bruce there it is

Suddenly the plus minus crowd burst into flames hearing Hughes is top 20 amongst all defenseman in +/-.
Except for that one time….
Great game, overall, for Demko - again. Well done boys pulling this off!
On another note:
After ironically getting bit myself by a big-ass spider last night; I had a great day seeing Spidey in the theaters in an afternoon showing, and seeing the Nucks do the improbable this evening.
Great damn day.
P.S. Still no spidey sense or powers of my own.. Shhhhhheeeeeeeiiiiiiiiit.
I'm starting to think superpowers might not be real. Hmmmm...
Now, let's go for Freakin' Seven.
This tangent was so unexpected, yet gave me such a huge laugh that I scared my cats off the couch. Thank you all.
I couldn’t help but think of this clip from the MTV Awards years ago.
David Amber is smiling, just rubbing his hands together for HNIC.

Good teams win ugly games. Our 2011 team took MANY regular season games off and needed Luongo to make saves and rely on some clutch scoring in the third. We had half an AHL blue line today and we beat a divisional rival thats just ahead of us just from clutch scoring and good goaltending. Even when the 3-2 goal went in I wasnt even worried. If this was the Green Canucks I would have 100% expected the Sharks to tie it then for us to take a penalty and get instantly scored on to lose the game at that point, but this team has so much more will in it than it did a couple weeks ago.

If Pettersson gets going
If Harmonic comes back
If Poolman can play like a #5
This team could be a dark horse. It's fun to cheer for that.
If this is the Myers we have going forward, the defense is less shitty than it was before. Really liking what he's doing right now - looks like rookie Myers.
Hughes, Miller, and Demko have been this teams best players and they showed again why that is. Amazing performance from Hughes especially.

How the hell do you get bit by a spider in December? Aren't they all dead/hibernating/whatever it is they do over the winter?

haha! Made myself laugh a few times! Cheers! Hold on....
Either my spidey rear is 'tingling' again - or I'm off to fight crime.
You be the judge.
