Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Flames - 7-1 (Bure x2, Linden x2, Courtnall x2, Adams) - McLean comes up big

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Still crazy how Jimmy thought he would just so easily replace Tanev and Marky with better players.

Demko and Nate Schmidt…Schmidt is a good player,but wasn’t really utilized to show off his strengths.

The NHL should just allow us to change the jersey every 2 months. Mix and match the colour schemes with each jersey variant every once in a while for some variety. Gotta embrace the no identity or continuity between eras and it makes us unique among all professional sports.

I still don't see what's so great about the skate. The colour scheme is beautiful(red,orange,black contrast nice with the ice surface) so it nice to watch in a hockey game flow, but beside the nostalgia boner its pretty average

Still think they should reform the rink jersey if they ever want to create a new logo

So your nostalgia boner is better then their nostalgia boners?

 

[F A N]

Fun game for the Canucks and Canucks fans.

Demko showed flashes of McLean and Garland looked a bit like Ronning.

 

[DonnyNucker]

Well we did get 7 PP and a penalty shot to their 1 PP.

Oilers will crash and burn in the first round.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

What record do we need to get into the playoffs? This game is giving me a little bit of hope again

I don’t know if this got answered, but JPAT said the other day that with 30 games left, the team needs to go 20 and 10 to get to 94 points… not impossible since that is about there record under Bruce… but that sounds a little to much like a mathematical possibility for my liking.

I don't see them making the playoffs, just too many holes in that line-up starting in net. They are going to stumble down the stretch.

 

[mossey3535]

Wow Canucks made the flames look terrible. Nice to watch but where is this effort throughout the year?

Demko was awesome again and looks so good in his Mclean gear. Of course we messed up his shutout sigh.

the answer is so simple it hurts.

Johnny Canuck logo (lumberjack) in the black / red/ yellow kit.

done.

 

[HeLord]

Still have a big smile on my face thinking about us owning the garbage lames!

I simply agree. I woke up today with a smile. Telling my kids what a great game they missed.

Now I'm going to work on a Friday "wohoo" with a big smile on my face. Love it.

Need ~38pts in 29 games to get in the picture.
So need to win 9 more wins then we lose in regulation...

So 9-0-20 gets us there.. as does 19-10-0.. and everything in between...

 

[LaVal]

I keep thinking back to the early Coleman shorthanded breakaway where Demko poke checked him. The Flames were dominating that penalty kill and if they scored the opening goal there they would have had all the momentum and it would have been a completely different game. Demko is as clutch as they come.

Terrible. Johnny Canuck is an awful logo.

I was about to counter this by saying this team does a good job of getting back in the fight if that happens... Then I remembered the Anaheim and Islander games just happened...

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Watched the game this morning and what the hell? Hopefully this isn't a one off because the team looked faster and all around better than the Flames who I consider to be one of the more complete teams in the division.

Demko and Nate Schmidt…Schmidt is a good player,but wasn’t really utilized to show off his strengths.

This drove me insane last season. Schmidt is an excellent player but at no point did the coaching staff even try to use him effectively. So no reason to not try him with Hughes but never even attempted it.

Two small mobile d-men can’t play on the same pairing. It’s in the constitution.

 

[Pip]

Man can’t believe I missed this game

 

[MS]

Weird game.

I thought we played well but also that the score wasn't at all representative of the play. Game was 1-0 at the mid-way point and Demko had stood on his head to get to that point including stopping two breakaways.

Then our PP started lighting up and the wheels came off Calgary when Markstrom came out.

Top players actually played like top players and the best line wasn't the Motte line, which has been rare and was good to see.

 

[Breakers]

Obsessed with those saddle brown glove and blockers on Demko

just the nostalgia I guess

playoff bar right now is actually at a 97 pt pace and the Canucks don’t hold a tie breaker so they would need 98pts.

Plus people keep talking about our record under BB, but fail to take into account the original bump we got.

Since BB came in and Benning was booted I have really enjoyed following this team again and not hate watched. However it’s important to be realistic. We have like a 10% chance at the playoffs.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Definitely didn't see this coming.

Sucks that they waited so long to fire the bumbling idiots. You can clearly see that this team has played under their potential.

Miller is easily our best forward this season. When he's on, he's arguably a top 10-15 player in the entire league.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

IMO we should only trade Miller if someone blows the doors off with an offer. He's top 10 in scoring this season.

 

[Seattle Totems]

Ftfy

It was a lame pun. You missed it.

 

[Bankerguy]

Since we have new management, does anyone thing they'll put their stamp on the team via changing jerseys on a permanent basis?
Going over twitter and reddit, everyone league wide loves these retro 90's logo/color scheme.
Not only do they look great but they're kind of more intimidating. Our blue /green jerseys look to friendly and nice imo.
