Canucks conceded a single goal..2 months ago it seemed a given that we would give up 4 or 5 a night.
Who's expectations is the question
This made me snort laugh. Bravo, I didn't think I'd see someone legitimate reply to themselves and disagree.
Nah, that's still 5 below .500.
If they win 6 of the next 7, then we can say they hit 500 somehow, but OTL/SOL are still losses, not matter how the points are calculated.

No. It’s .500. You need to look at it how the only person who matters looks at it. It’s .500 in Vancouver.

Props to Boeser
This may be his best underlying game in a long franking time
Also Rathbone with 2nd best Gamescore of any player and very limited minutes. 100% on controlled zone exits. Love that.

Good game i like how they are being harder to play hope its a sign going into next year
We were never going to be able to draft him so who cares anymore? There will be a good player at pick number 11. Gotta stop listening to media geeks like Drance who have zero clue about sports in general.
Two guys I really hope the Canucks don't give up on are Nils Hoglander and Jack Rathbone. Sure there are warts in their game......but you can't teach 'talent'.
There is a huge difference between picking 6 or 7 than 11 or 12. Reading these posts I can't believe people are buying into these garbage time wins... AGAIN. Run it back next year Baldy I'll be here for the Schadenfreude.

Super solid road win. This team looks like it could challenge for 1st place in the Pacific next year.

You all have a lot more faith than I do in this team
Until they can play this way when games actually matter in October, I wont hold much into these garbage time wins
Every year its the same thing

I'm so torn. I want a high draft pick. I want the Canucks to succeed. It's just we've been down this road before. Like some posters have said I'm holding my breath until next season before I make a judgment.

Just saying that's how they look at the moment. I'm not sure if this good play will carry over to next season, but something feels different about how they are playing right now vs last years Boudreau bump.

The difference between this year and last was last year Demko was bailing us out night after night. Had to perform at Vezina quality goaltending for us to have a chance. This year we are winning on solid positional play. Not running arounds headless while Demko played hockey jesus. Results may look similar but this team is far superior in its execution.
This end-of-season version of the Canucks is a playoff team in the West.
It makes the start to the season that much more baffling and heartbreaking. I mean look at every aspect of their game right now. Doesn't even seem like the same season.
They have a system and every player knows their role... And it doesn't seem to matter who they play in on the blueline. Rathbone is just the latest plug and play guy from Abbotsford. Heck, even Myers is looking solid these days.
I suppose if they get to .500 with a win tomorrow afternoon in Chicago, then it's a moral victory. But on the flip side, the only 'value' in being a lottery team is the opportunity to draft high in the first round. But that's steadily slipping away.

Myers has looked not just good in the last two games, but really good. The world is surely ending.
There is no chance he can keep it up, can he?
