Post-Game Talk: GAME #56: Canucks 4 vs. Flames 3 (S/O): Markstrom masterclass, EP gets his 50th point

[clunk]

Take away Markstrom, Pettersson and Horvat and this team would be an absolute trainwreck.

Hell, take away one of these pieces and it would all fall apart.

Just incredible how much these guys carry.

 

[TruKnyte]

What a hilarious win. Completely dominated start to finish. Should have been blown out.

Good:

- Markstrom stole this game. Has been so much better than his numbers playing behind this porous defense.

- Pettersson was really our only pushback and he and Boeser were our entire offense.

Bad :

- literally everyone else. Sutter and Granlund destroyed. Gudbranson horrific. Biega with his worst game of the season.

Pretty much sums things up. This is why I just shake my head when anyone says we're only a piece or two away from ending the rebuild. It's more like we only have a handful to build on and the rest needs to be thrown away.

 

[Jack Burton]

lolololo the Hnic staff are speechless

 

[polarbearcub]

Gotta say. I’m sold on Markstrom being a legit number one goalie. He has flat out been one of the best goalies in the nhl the passed 2 months

 

[mathonwy]

No Edler... that's fine. Marky will pick up the slack.

 

[Fire Benning]

Flames didn't use Johnny Hockey in the shootout. Phenomenal coaching.

 

[Horse McHindu]

Based on what?

Tomato analytics that I’ve compiled on my spreadsheet.

Sorry guys I’m drunk. Canucks got curb stomped tonight but you know what? It’s the way she goes sometimes. Hang in there, keep fighting, and good things can happen. Montreal and LA have made no apologies in the past for stealing games with Quickie and Price, so why should we?

Can’t recall Czeck Republic in Nagano or the Sabres in 1999 apologizing for riding Hasek.

 

[vanarchy]

I don't know who told Brock to get out there and shoot like an absolute mad man,

but I like it.

 

[Blue and Green]

Flames didn't use Johnny Hockey in the shootout. Phenomenal coaching.

Gaudreau is 4-for-18 lifetime in shootouts.

 

[Fire Benning]

Not much to say about that one, Cancks had no right winning and would've been blown out if Markstrom didn't stand on his head, continuing to make his case for MVP of this Canucks season.

 

[Ace of Hades]

You can add Boeser to that list.

Take away a team's two best centers and their starting a goalie and watch them be bad

What is your point exactly

 

[Soups On]

God:
Markstrom

Good:
Pettersson, Boeser, Horvat, Stecher, Hutton

Bad:
Everyone else on D. Sutter, Eriksson, and Virtanen were especially bad.

 

[bandwagonesque]

Attaboy Brock.


Plug.

So far today you said Horvat is a 3rd line center on a good team and that Boeser is terrible. Who do you think shot JFK?

 

[sting101]

Sutter Eriksson Granlund are just absolute passengers right now

Biega Gudbranson and Pouliot are trash top6 defenseman

So happy for Leivo Stecher Hutton Markstrom and even Virtanen who wasnt good tonight but are becoming good NHlers and glue guys to support Petey Brock and Bo

Motte and Roussel as usual busting it all over

Tanev Beagle Goldobin were ok

 

[Melvin]

Gaudreau is 4-for-18 lifetime in shootouts.

Wow, that's almost meaningful.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

Leivo looking like he could be a key piece for the team moving forward. We’re really short of top six wingers and he looks like he can fill one of those spots. Really liking that trade.

 

[DaBadGuy316]

Outside of Tampa, I think a solid case can be made for us being the best team in the league right now.

Speaking of the ignore function, another one bites the dust. What a garbage attention seeking post.

 

[Svencouver]

Wow Markstrom was just unreal. He's playing like a top 5 goalie in the league.

 

[clunk]

Take away a team's two best centers and their starting a goalie and watch them be bad

What is your point exactly

You really don't get the point.

You never do, so I'm not going to explain in simpler terms for you.

 

[lousy]

Wow, that's almost meaningful.

I think you mean that is actually meaningful.

Unless you are being sarcastic, then my bad

 

[VanJack]

Call the Coppers!....Markstrom just committed highway robbery in broad daylight. Playing behind the most atrocious blueline in the entire NHL, he's in a zone. With that kind of goaltending, anything is possible.

This game should embolden Jimbo...trade Sutter, trade Eriksson, trade Gudbranson...hell, trade anybody not named Pettersson, Boeser and Horvat and Markstrom.

 

[Melvin]

Leivo looking like he could be a key piece for the team moving forward. We’re really short of top six wingers and he looks like he can fill one of those spots. Really liking that trade.

On another note, another pointless game for Goldobin the unfairly treated.

 

[Svencouver]

Also Brock is starting to look like himself from last year. Really driving the play.

 

[Jack Burton]

Nice HNIC interview so far.
