Post-Game Talk: GAME #10: Canucks 4, Senators 1 (Boeser x2, Pettersson, Pearson): 3-for-3 and back to .500

[Lemmiwinks]

I think Mac would have tuned him there

I kinda thought he did at first. Replay showed he kinda glanced on a few

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Is it just me or is Gaudette cheap shotting Tzachuk and then letting Zack do his dirty work with 40 seconds to go in a 4-1 win bad form?

If you rewind a bit you will see Tkachuk running around all shift looking to start shit. I don't blame Gaudette one bit.

 

[Hansen]

Stützle could end up getting the Turris treatment on this team jeeze

 

[Blue and Green]

I didn't look like Gaudette had much of a choice. Zach bust onto the scene pretty aggressively.

Tkachuk would break Gaudette into a million pieces so MacEwen has to step in.

 

[AwesomeInTheory]

Now the question remains... are we as bad as we were the first few games? Or are we as good as we were the last 3? Or is it somewhere in the middle. Currently I like our chances of making the playoffs in the 3 or 4 seed but I’ll see how we play against WPG

I think we're better than we were to open the season -- our skilled forwards are finding their groove and things are settling in, but I really think that these 3 games against Ottawa were good in establishing at least the Canucks aren't on the same level as the Senators.

I think the team is decidedly middle of the pack, although injuries and other Canuck Luck issues can change things rapidly.

 

[Fatass]

You reversed jinxed Holtby tonight. Thank you.

It’s a skill; what can I say?
Yes, Holtby played great.

 

[CherryToke]

Brady Tkachuk looks like a young Corey Perry

Minus the skill

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Stützle could end up getting the Turris treatment on this team jeeze

Remember when Turris used to light up the Clippers?

 

[Canucks LB]

Chatfield and zack gives us such much needed grit.
Fun game tonight

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Yeah, Tkachuk had a burr in his saddle and was running all over the place in the lead up to that.

MacEwen knows his role, too; glad he stepped in to assert himself.

 

[Fatass]

Oilers lost, and are now 3 and 6. Flames lost too. Bad night for Alberta teams, which makes me

 

[Bubbles]

It's a 3 win streak but I really don't see that much improvement, other than the 1st line rounding into form.

We'll see when they play an NHL team on Saturday.

Tkachuk would break Gaudette into a million pieces so MacEwen has to step in.

Which is why I think it's bad form for Gaudette to cheap sot him with 40 seconds in a 4-1 win even if he is a douche...

 

[mathonwy]

Minus the skill

I said looks. Not plays.

 

[Nucker101]

I would say Batherson was their best forward through the series followed by Tkachuk

I didn’t mind C.Brown, feel like he’s a solid 3rd line winger on a playoff caliber team. It starts to get bleak real fast after these few guys though. Their defense is a bigger mess than their forwards though, a lot of AHL level players,

 

[Fatass]

Yeah, Tkachuk had a burr in his saddle and was running all over the place in the lead up to that.

MacEwen knows his role, too; glad he stepped in to assert himself.

I watched the last few minutes of the Oilers losing. Was there a fight?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I definitely saw some improvement. But I don’t know if it’s enough - and we’re headed into a barn where even when we are playing well, we struggle mightily. Anxious to see how this swing in Winnipeg goes.

 

[Zippgunn]

If you rewind a bit you will see Tkachuk running around all shift looking to start shit. I don't blame Gaudette one bit.

If he's going to punk him he should fight his own battle. Just IMHO.

 

[mathonwy]

Welp... good preseason.

 

[Hansen]

Gaudette was way more of a shit disturber before he went Pro, I for one am happy to see that side of his game for a change

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I watched the last few minutes of the Oilers losing. Was there a fight?

Yep; MacEwen and Tkachuk dropped the gloves. Refs got in the way, but I’d say MacEwen got the better of it / landed more blows.

 

[CherryToke]

Which is why I think it's bad form for Gaudette to cheap sot him with 40 seconds in a 4-1 win even if he is a douche...

It's not possible to cheapshot a Tkachuk

 

[mathonwy]

Right in their stupid faces

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Gaudette didn’t get much ice time tonight, but I noticed him in a positive way. A few chances and some good hustle. Methinks he’ll stay in the lineup over Virtanen on Saturday.
