Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Stars - 6-2 (Pettersson x2, Boeser, Dickinson, Garland, Podkolzin)

[CpatainCanuck]

It seems like the Canucks have been hanging in to their playoff hopes by a thread for a month now.

 

[McDavid is too whiny]

Anyone got any idea why Canucks - Stars begins at 7:30 pst?

 

[wonton15]

Boeser is an upgrade on Petan but he just doesn’t inspire confidence at all. We played much better without him floating around in the top 6

 

[VanillaCoke]

Every game i watch Dallas play is boring and they look old and slow and bad, and then Robertson scores 2 and pavelski tips in agoal with under 5 mins left and they end up winning often.

This game should be an easy 4-1 win but I am not going to bet on that happening.

their entire hopes hinge on the 3rd playoff spot in the pacific so even getting a point in tonight's game and vegas/edm losing probably puts them in a better spot

 

[PG Canuck]

Chaisson hatty please

It's "Hometown Hockey" night on Sportsnet (Ron McLean) and we are the doubleheader. Calgary at Chicago is the 1st game and it starts at 5:00 pacific, ergo our game is at 7:30.

Ron McLean and his Hometown Hokey.

Regardless of how the last few games turn out, after the really bad start this outfit has been tremendous since. Bolds well for the future with a stud goaltender and an exciting brand of play! Will definitely be a force for the foreseeable future. One or two tweeks maybe.

 

[Zynbanejad]

You think Chiasson keeps getting these minutes with Boeser back? Contemplating add him. Boeser, Garland, or Podkolzin in fantasy next two games

 

[logan5]

The Canucks are probly mentally worn down at this point, especially knowing Horvat is out (on top of the other injuries). It's going to be one of those nights where they can't seem to get anything going. 4-1 Dallas. Podz will jam in a rebound.

Tonight is gonna be a tough night in the dot.

 

[supercanuck]

Tonight is gonna be a tough night in the dot.

We got their best faceoff center though.

 

[Peen]

this would be a good time for dickinson to earn the extra 2 million he earns above his ability

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Tonight is gonna be a tough night in the dot.

Even with Horvat, I seem to recall our last game going pretty poorly on the dot. Going to need to take the puck away a lot in this one.

Or, make lots of saves. Where have I heard that before?

Canucks and Flames to feature, so of course the hometown will be Alert Bay or some far-off town that has little relevance to the actual games.

 

[VanJack]

It's 'won or done' in tonight's game....even with a win, it's still doubtful they're reeling in the Stars. The wildcard race is basically over. The Canucks only real hope is third place in the Pacific.

They're obviously hoping that L.A. really falters down the stretch. But even if they do, the Canucks will have to climb over Vegas to get into third spot. And looking at the Kings schedule, they have a back-to-back with Anaheim and I think still have to play the Kraken.

Just can't see it happening this year.

I actually can see both LA and Vegas continuing to stumble a bit. But running the table is a tall order, and really that's what the Canucks have to achieve, here.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Really just need to ignore the odds which are daunting. Win tonight and the next game and see what happens elsewhere in the next few games. The race could tighten a lot in the next three or four days.

 

[Play]

There is no one in hockey as good as Chiasson in front of the net right now

 

[RebuildinVan]

There is no one in hockey as good as Chiasson in front of the net right now

Can you imagine his extension if Benning was still here? Not even joking sadly

 

[RussianRacket]

All in all I love this team and am so impressed and proud at how they clawed back into the thick of the playoff race.

No matter what happens, you have to feel good about this group.

GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!

 

[logan5]

They've made things interesting down the stretch, but I would describe them as being more on the outskirts of the play-off race.
