Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Leafs - 3-2 (Miller, Boeser, Lammikko)

[platotld]

Definitely no question… but we are not trading away all of our core… won’t be surprised if 1-2 get moved (ala miller/Boeser variety).

you mean Horvat

Even if we're outplayed in the process, I just love that our Canuck teams, for better or worse, have been sticking it to the Leafs teams on our ice in recent years.

I really enjoy seeing our Canuck players stick it to the "fans" who cheer for the other guys to score. I love that these fans shell out dough to see our Canuck players keep doing it to their team. Love it, and keep doing it.

Leafs post game thread is GOLD

Trash organization we are

And we still beat the Leafs so whats that say about them

Man I love this team

Things I learned from reading a few pages of the Leafs post game:

The refs were bad. They love the Canucks, and hate the Leafs, and deliberately tilted the ice in Vancouver's favor.

Demko got lucky.

The league is stacking games against the Leafs. Both here and their last game were fixed, somehow.

The first goal was goaltender interference, outside of the crease, after Mrazek dove out of the crease, and even his coach didn't challenge it. Although Keefe claims this conspiracy as to why he didn't challenge, according to @dalter.

Demko's posts were the difference.

Mrazek out played Demko. Seriously. Seriously. They were called out by their own fanbase, but jeez.

The Leafs are first class, and the Canucks franchise are trash (despite tonight, and the last 52 years).

Hey man i think you should calm down and go watch a compilation of Leafs 2nd round plus playoff games from the last 18 years. I think theres a youtube video chronicling it. They have a lot to be proud of over there.

In expected goals they are back to back Stanley cup champions, dont you know!

 

[likash]

Toronto fans are salty as hell.

leafs, W and Demko:

 

[MS]

Also - good for Lammikko to get the GWG and that belt after the game. He’s had a quietly underrated season for us. Hard working player who’s filled his role admirably.

Half-season.

He stunk under Green (and was a healthy scratch the last 5 games before Green was fired) but has had probably the biggest bounce of any player on the roster under Boudreau.

 

[VanJack]

If the Leafs had Demko, they'd be a legit Stanley Cup threat.....but with their goaltending, they're just 'pretenders'.

 

[strattonius]

Deluded Canucks fans cheering right now. That was embarrassing for them.

This was a beauty I came across. We are so embarrassed winning...

That win felt good though. We were dominated 5on5.

 

[SixtyFour]

lmao, leafs crying so hard, that's beautiful
Another top level performance from Thatcher.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

you mean Horvat

I actually don’t

 

[alternate]

Ice was slanted no doubt, but missing our best player, Hamonic playing his first game in forever and looked like it, and we led like 50 minutes of the game.

Demko went full bubble.

No descriptions in the box score. A huge 2 points. The longer we can scratch and claw and keep ourselves in the race, at least mathematically, the better it is for our group. They get nothing playing meaningless games for the last month of the season; Hughes, Demko, et al playing meaningful games at the end of the season is more important than a few draft spots in the middle of the round imo.

 

[platotld]

I actually don’t

Why so serious?

 

[BWJM]

Wow Demko was incredible

Luke Schenn quietly sitting with the best +/- on the team too. I hope we don't move him.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Canucks 'won the week' with a threadbare D....Without Hughes, the D looked very static, so hats off to Hunt,Juulsen and Burroughs.

Now that Hamonic is back, it creates a lot more options for the coach..It takes the pressure off the rest of the D, as Hamonic can log hard minutes.

OEL..Myers
Hughes...Schenn
Burroughs...Hamonic.

 

[timw33]

I turned on the Minnesota and Carolina game, both teams have leaky goaltending leading to a high scoring game.

A 3-2 game is high scoring..?

We were dominated 5 on 5...Too bad the Leafs couldn't score against us 5 on 5.

I mean, our fans are probably deluded in cheering for that win in a tiny vacuum.

Leaf fans are permanently deluded in cheering for one of the most embarrassing loser franchises in pro sports whose most newsworthy accomplishment in the last 50 years was enabling an in-house pedophile ring.

 

[mriswith]

We could pull an Arizona, burn the roster to the ground and blatantly tank for Bedard, and I'd still be cheering for wins against the leafs.

Shots could have been 50-1 against us and as long as we won I'd still cheer after the win. Some franchises you love to see lose and context just doesn't matter.

Are we finally going to see that january 1st announcement?

Craig Button of TSN on the Canuck defense--"the worst in the National Hockey League". Seems a trifle harsh but on the other hand, after watching last night's excruciating 60-minutes, it's hard to argue with him.

 

[Vector]

Trash as 90s logo and colour scheme. Just a f***ing shitty skate that represents absolutely nothing about the city or province. f*** off with your nostalgia bullshit.

Did he say that before,or after BB became the coach?

 

[Zippgunn]

This place is so entertaining whenever we play the Leafs. The saltiness of Canuck fans towards them and (especially) their fans amuses me, especially when their fans outnumber ours in our own building. The number of posters who seem peeved that we won (ruining a perfectly good tank) are also fun. The ones who want to trade everyone baffle me though; they hate on just about every player on the team bar Demko and Hughes. These poor people will never be happy...
