Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Hurricanes - 2-1 (Boeser, Pettersson)

[vadim sharifijanov]

And credit where it’s due - Myers has been excellent these last 4 games. Best hockey as a Canuck.

he’s playing so much more contained and relying mostly on his pokecheck

it’s like once he was freed from having to play phaneuf hockey he is a passable top four guy after all

 

[calnuck]

Yeah what's with that? Miller seems like a bit of a headcase sometiems.

Yeah he's kinda unpredictable that way. Wonder if he wasn't happy with how they closed out the game with the tire fire defense and the giant hit on Pod? Or maybe just gassed? idk

Now I'm not 100% convinced that we should lock the tank in the garage, there's still a lot of issues in the team. But, the looks on the guys' faces, and the overall vibe of the team, on the bench, and in the hallway, are slowly changing for the better.

We've been in utter darkness for so very very long, the dimmest light of hope seems almost blinding. Let's enjoy the honeymoon while we can, until near TDL, then perhaps the way will be clearer.

This win streak is absolutely an aberration. Catching some very good teams on back to backs during long road trips while Demko is going super nova, new coach bump, and some fundamental strategy changes have been JUST enough to squeak by. Fun as hell and I’m thrilled it’s happening. They may even get luckier and make this somewhat sustainable by buying time to fully integrate all the changes.

the best part though is myers might trick some dinosaur that they need a myers for a cup run. Imagine getting a third for myers? Or who knows maybe a first if we get really lucky and find the biggest dino.

FA is on a heater

lol yeah, of course. It's fun now that the bumbling idiots you've employed for 8 years are gone, and we're all hoping you're next.

It's his own fault hockey was not fun anymore. He could have done this 20 games ago. Or ideally, 5 years ago.

[geebaan]

This team is actually fun to watch again. f*** ya buds

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

I hope he just comes out swinging tomorrow and goes straight for the media during the presser

Goes at them for what? Sucking off JB and TG for 8 years?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

We never gonna lose again

That’s what happens when you get an enima.

Finger licking good.

 

[Grub]

When does OEL come back? We really need him.

Yep. The best part of this run is that it might convince some other GM to trade for Myers.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

My man!

 

[Angry Little Elf]

With OEL back, this team will look even better. He is a workhorse.

 

[VanJack]

It's like half the players on this roster have flipped a switch after Boudreau's arrival. Myers is playing better than he has at any point in his Canucks career. You go down the list: Petey, Boeser, Dickinson, Lammikko, Hoglander, Podkolzin even Burroughs and Hunt are all playing out of their minds.

I think it's impossible to overstate how Green's lax defensive system and passive play along the wall was wearing on so many of these players, who just looked terrible at times. They had no confidence that the guy next to them would be able to step up and do his job.

Too bad they didn't make the coaching change 10 games ago.....the playoff drive would be a lost less daunting than it is now.

 

[calnuck]

When does OEL come back? We really need him.

Words nobody thought they'd say this season. He's looked pretty solid overall and better without Baumgartner that's for sure

 

[Angry Little Elf]

When does OEL come back? We really need him.

Next week

 

[deadinthewater]

What about Hamonic? I think he's out for awhile..?

 

[Angry Little Elf]

What about Hamonic? I think he's out for awhile..?

2-3 weeks

 

[Peen]

They ideally need at least 8 of the next 12 games. Would have them pacing at 88 points after 41 games. Much more believable striking distance.

Like Bruce said, win the week. Get 2/3 going forward.
