Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Flames - 4-2 (Hamonic, Hoglander, Myers, Boeser)

[Nucker101]

Boeser is a modern day Thomas Vanek. Funny thing is that was his first season mentor

Boeser's 2-way game is better than Vanek's ever was imo, Brock's not some sort of 2-way player but he's improved enough defensively despite his lack of speed to no longer be considered a full on liability. Vanek was a flat out float run his own zone unless he saw an opportunity to create a turnover for an offensive chance.

Was referring more to their offensive zone play. Boeser is a much better playmaker than he gets credit for and has that old school wrist shot.

Will it be Silovs or Holtby in net tomorrow?

ahh, yeah I can agree with that

probably Demko, they need that crucial win

Seriously?

 

[The Poacher]

Didn’t get to see much of the game. How did Lockwood look?

 

[canuckking1]

Seriously?

Holtby wasn't backing up today. Maybe your boy is injured

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I have to give credit where credit is due, I fully wrote Brock off and he proved me dead wrong. Excellent rebound season.

His speed is not what it was, but his shot came back and that is enough for him to be a 35 goal scorer every year.

His shot came back.

We thought it was a goner but his shot came back.

It just wouldn’t stay away.

 

[Zippgunn]

Hmm if that's so then it has to be Demko, not even this inept clownshow organization would give a kid his first NHL start on the second-of-back-to-back-road-games when the team played in a different city the night before. I'm betting that barring SERIOUS injury we see Holtby...

 

[Chairman Maouth]

Did I really miss an entire game? What time did it start?

 

[Blue and Green]

Did I really miss an entire game? What time did it start?

1:00. Tomorrow is 12:30.

 

[Breakers]

Nice possession game for Rathbone 5v5 today.

 

[I am toxic]

I thought Demko had a really good game up until the end but he's never going to get an easier start than this ever again. He gave up a lot of rebounds and his puckhandling still isn't fantastic. If he can play this well in tough games I'll be a believer...

You can watch the Vegas playoff round from last summer.

No need to . . . wait and see

 

[I am toxic]

It's a little tough when the game is on while a lot of people are working. I streamed the game on my phone until my battery was running out, then I just listened on the radio.

Yeah, 1pm in a Tuesday?

How embarrassing, needing to be scheduled so that meaningful games can go on in prime time.

I think the only time I have ever been this embarrassed as a Canucks fan as when Gretzky and the oilers would laugh at our bench as they skated by, during the '80's.

Thank you Jim Benning, for making that happen. And it only took you 7 years.

So based on roughly 3 hours of great work against one team last year he is fantastic. Ooh kay...

Zipp, you wrote "If he can play this well in tough games I'll be a believer."

Did he play this well?

Were they tough games?

Or is this one of those situations where the goalposts keep moving?

 

[JimmyJiveJones]

Nice win!!! WOO. Outshot 40-24 but we hung in there. Demko is a beast. Love to see the Flames lose. Hope we beat them tomorrow to take the best of 3.

Jett Woo was in the game?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Didn’t get to see much of the game. How did Lockwood look?

From what I saw, he had a solid game. His speed was definitely a factor in him being involved in the play.

 

[Paulinbc]

Stupid early game. Why ohh why did you put the score in the title?!?!?!?!

how did you even know the score when you created this thread anyways

 

[mathonwy]

40 shots on Demmer. Cool

 

[Paulinbc]

Just sat down. Watching from the start.
Go Nucks!!! 8-1 Nucks!!!

What’s to be embarrassed about? Sure the fact that we all got COVID. But in this situation? There should be nothing at all to embarrass your precious buttocks off. Couldn’t have come back earlier, couldn’t have compressed games anymore, so it is exactly what it exactly is.

 

[Paulinbc]

HAMONIC!!!!!!!!!!!

‘would not mind him back at all next year.

 

[Paulinbc]

Nice rush by Lockwood. Kids got wheels.
