Post-Game Talk: Canucks 7, Senators 1: It's a Flat Stanley hat-trick

[mathonwy]

Brandon Sutter moved to top line duties tomorrow.

A hatty kinda earns you that dontcha think?

We can definitely get a pick for Sutter at the deadline. I'm not surprised he step up his game on a contract year. That said great game by Sutter tonight, excellent effort on the 1st goal, absolutely sniped that 2nd goal, great speed on the 3rd. Hope to see more games like this from him.

Miller Sutter Virtanen
Hoglander Horvat Pearson
Macewan Beagle Boeser
Roussell Pettersson Motte

Gotta reward Virtanen after that effort

I think it’s obvious this is Canada’s team and Suter is Canada’s captain


Come at me

Suter plays on the Wild

This Ottawa game took our goal differential from 2014 Oilers level to 2021 Detroit Red Wings level.

Suter plays on the Wild

You came at me and you delivered

the iron throne is yours

Suter plays on the Wild

He's also 'Murican

Sutter for Suter confirmed.

 

[Raistlin]

Lost in the hoopla is that Myers led the team in ice time, even with the turnover that led to the only goal. Ottawa is a bad team, I wonder if Murray thinks Sutter just got "lucky".

Always liked Suter.

Sutter on the other hand clearly should have stuck with politics the way he owned Nation ‘s capital.

This game was hilarious. Laughing my ass off at a Sutter hat-trick. Quick! Trade him while his value is high!

In all seriousness - still a lot of rough spots for Vancouver. Gave up odd man rushes and breaks, but Demko had the answers on this night. Our PK was better, but our lack of discipline continues to be poor.

Great to see Juolevi scored. Hope he continues to develop - each game is still an adventure for him, peppered with moments both good and bad. Tonight was a solid night for him on the PK, and I think scoring his first goal meant a lot to him.

Love Hoglander. His hustle is great to watch, and his effort on Pearson’s goal was terrific.

Horvat with a quiet 3 apples. Nice.

Top line still looking pretty rough, but nice to all the other three lines chip in.

I’ve definitely see enough of Benn playing with Hughes. Hughes goes across the line to Benn for a one timer - Benn flubs it. Benn hurls a grenade back at Hughes. Rinse and repeat. In their own end, Hughes is getting caught and reverses the puck back to Benn...who immediately gives it back to the already covered Hughes. Just not a good match.

I’ve dumped on Sutter a lot, but good game for him. Looked like a legitimately different player than the one we’ve watched for the past however many years.

I don’t know that this effort topples many teams other than Ottawa - but there was a lot of areas where this game was a step in the right direction.

 

[Paradise Circus]

Miller was mad

 

[Intangibos]

I liked the part where Pettersson outmuscled Gudbranson on the forecheck.

What a pathetic player, embarrassing that he was ever a Canuck

You know your team is in trouble when Captain Canada Brandon Sutter scores a hat trick. Poor Ottawa.

 

[Grub]

Someone make a value of Sutter thread on the main boards please

"The Brandon Sutter Appreciation Thread?"

Someone in the coaching staff just needs to tell Pettersson to shoot. So many times he's got a clear shooting lane and he passes it off.

Murray stinks, take advantage and hit top corner on him and build confidence.

The whole top line / top PP unit needs to shoot. Simplify things - shoot the puck and crash for some ugly goals.

Sens fan here, yeah it wasn’t worth staying up to watch that one

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Guess we just need to play Ottawa every game.

Well atleast the Nucks are the worst....yet.

 

[VancouverJagger]

WTF did Sutter wake up and realize his contract is expiring at the end of this year and he better get his ass in gear? Geezus...........He's still holding on to the award for "Canuck I dislike the most" and most likely he goes back to being a black hole where pucks go to die however tonight for one brief shining moment at least he was great.........If only.......

 

[Bgav]

Still not worried about petey. He’ll get it together.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

7 goals and not one point from Pettersson, so disappointing.

 

[Saturated Fats]

Hard not to like what Sutter, Motte, Hoglander, Schmidt, and Demko brought tonight. Thought Hughes had his best game of the year, too.

I don't know, hard to evaluate a game like that. Ottawa was absolutely, unequivocally awful.

 

[Bures Elbow]

Petey looks so so bad.

What the hell is wrong with him?!

I'm seriously thinking something is going on in his personal life that we dont know about, because he seems to move just fine on the ice. He just looks and feels so discombobulated.
