Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Leafs - 4-2 (Boeser, Horvat, Miller, Hoglander)

[theguardianII]

Well here we go.

The sun came up this morning, that ought to give Benning comfort in the knowledge that there is a new day and now he can do something

Once again it is the ShanaPlan vs the No Plan, Plan.
Last game the refreshed and well practiced Canucks were able to hang on to a win largely thanks to another outstanding goalie perfomance.
Demko stole a game.

But this time the dreaded low life and cheating TO, cheating because they tanked to get good players while the Canucks strived for a playoff spot and winning environment for their 3 young players but failed miserably each year losing 50 games but spending more money than TO.
OOPs,
TO is still fatigued from 3 games in 4 days but should be able to get more shots on whoever, likely 45+ shots to 20 or so.

TO walks away with this one without hardly a sweat

Man you want to see really good playoff type hockey just watch some of those US teams hammer each other, it makes what is playing up here look like a non hitting PeeWee game.
Vicious, an Jimmy thinks this group would be good against that?

That is total denial.

TO 8 - Van 2

That... Tells us nothing

Pettersson is NOT playing ice hockey for the Canucks this evening

 

[Scorvat]

Damn, Petey still out. I'm trying to remember if he took a heavy hit in the last Winnipeg game.

I remember a pretty awkward blocked shot in the first period I think

 

[BWJM]

Are we making the right choice and starting Demko again tonight?

Thanks. Hope it's not serious.

[Ginger Papa]

Is Pettersson playing or not?

At the time you folks were asking there was no information available to indicate he was playing, so I used the latest lineups available from dailyfaceoff.com.

Are we making the right choice and starting Demko again tonight?

Nothing confirmed yet from Leftwinglock.com for either Team.


Still leaving us guessing

All the media (eastern, and our own) saying that Leafs lost last game because they were tired..?..Canucks get zero respect.

Canucks had a brutal schedule earlier in the year, and the 'tired' excuse was inexcusable.

If the Canucks were 18-4 and lost a game everyone would accept a "tired" excuse/reason.

Damn...

Should be Holtbys game tonight, afterall he DID win a cup

They played the night before. Took the early parts of the game to Vancouver (Demko looked great) and ran out of steam in the 3rd. The Canucks played well but don’t get the benefit of the doubt with a bottom 5 record.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Canucks will have their hands full..Hopefully, they make a game of it..
I even noticed our D last game was having problems containing big bodies like Spezza and Thornton, let alone Matthews, Nylander and Marner.

Hopefully, they put Hutchinson in goal again.

Starting Holtby is a no brai...

Oh wait, this is the GDT. I'll finish that sentence in the other thread.

 

[Kryten]

They really dont have a choice.

You were the one pushing the tired excuse bub

 

[VanillaCoke]

Damn, Petey still out. I'm trying to remember if he took a heavy hit in the last Winnipeg game.

EP and Hughes take a few decent hits every game, and they're smaller than teenagers. Only a matter of time before it adds up.

Or the gm builds a better team around them to help mitigate that constant strategy.

I was..after their 4th game in 6 nights, in three cities..first game in Toronto if I recall...Team was gassed.

 

[I am toxic]

If you have a pet, it ain't playing in tonight's game.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Benning if they win: This team like, like beat the best team today in the league ya know, today you know. We, like, see the future today, you know.

Benning if they lose: Well like, like when your best player ya know, is injured and not playing today, it causes trouble. We have injuries and covid, our boys understand the plan ye know. Like, we have a plan and you dont forsee your best player, like...getting injured.

 

[Ninjadude]

Unfortunately I think the Leafs will win this one. I’m going to say 5-2 for the bad guys.

 

[VanCity Millionaires]

Canucks 5 - Leafs 0

Virtanen with all 5. My cousin calls to tell me he won the Safeway Millionaire.

Jim trades Virtanen for a 3rd rounder.

Virtanen goes on to pot 20 by the end of the season.

You forgot the part where Benning adds an extra pick

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

If you have a pet, it ain't playing in tonight's game.

Yes, clearly the lead and most important player referenced in this tweet is Petan.

Bloody hell, even the Vancouver media is pulling the whole “let’s focus on Toronto” BS that the rest of Canada is usually guilty of.

 

[mouz135]

Hoping for a Canucks slaughter. Let’s go leafs

 

[604]

Need Pearson to score a hatty tonight so that we can trade him for Liljegren.
