GDT: Canucks def. Leafs - 5-3 (Hoglander, Sutter x 2, Pearson x 2)

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Nice effort by the Canucks but that was a bottom-5 start by an NHL goalie this year.

LOL LEAFS

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Satisfying win.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Wow, just wow! No way, no how did I think Vancouver would beat Toronto twice in a row - esp. given they’re just returning from Covid!!! Full props to the Canucks.

Credit where it's due, two big performances from Holtby.

Pearson & Sutter with big nights. Thought Hughes did some good things offensively as well.

Obviously the Leafs goaltending was the big issue, but overall a fun a game to watch.

 

[EpochLink]

The Covid Canucks are coming!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Who would have thought the Canucks would come back from this situation and walk out with back to back wins against Toronto?

Outstanding.

 

[AzNightmare]

WINNER WINNER CHICkEN DINNER.

!st star has to be the Leaf goalie. He was the Canucks second best player. Well played Huggie.

 

[HedonisticAltruism]

Good on Pearson. His contract is still a mistake but take what you can get from him I suppose. Notwithstanding trying to have a higher draft position.

I see the Leafs wilting in the playoffs as per usual. They still aren't a team that's built for playoff hockey.

 

[SillyRabbit]

Nice to see Hughes back on the stat sheet after being held pointless in the previous 3 games.

He's now back at a 65 point pace over a full 82 game season.

I don't think Ottawa is a gimme unfortunately. Something about the Leafs makes them susceptible to these kinds of losses. Holtby was amazing one game and Rittich the absolutely worst tonight.

Also with a team in this position post-covid it's going to be the long grind that really gets them if they are in worse cardio shape due to sickness.

Plus the Sens beat the Habs last game.

 

[Kryten]

Leafs fans couch cushions in shambles

 

[Jack Burton]

2-0 post covid .

And Pettersson ain't even back.


I may be pro tank but very impressive wins.

T-? minutes until Aquillini tweets something

 

[Petey O]

Give me the f***ing miracle run to the playoffs baby, Straight to my f***ing veins

Wouldn't a cinderella run where they squeak into the playoffs and end up losing the cup in 7 games be so typical Canucks?

Like, I'm almost expecting it to happen now because this franchise is weird.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Leafs’ goaltending has to be a major point of concern as they head into the playoffs.

But also credit to Holtby for stymying the Leafs’ top guns. He was incredible in these two games.

Outstanding.
