Post-Game Talk: Game #8: Canucks 2, Bruins 1 (OT)

[WetcoastOrca]

Horvat is a beast. The fight earlier, the good defensive play on Marchand before the goal, and scores the winner.

Just needed an assist for the Gordie Howe hat trick.

 

[Tim Calhoun]

I seem to recall people were saying the Canucks were better than they thought they'd be at the start of last season too...

And the year before, and the year before that.

 

[Hyzer]

Yeah, we still suck. It's the beginning of the season. Just give it 20 more games my friends.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

I'll admit, 3-3-2 is a better result than I was expecting to start the season, but I am not convinced we are better than I thought we were.

3-3-2?

Awesome two-way player that does it all. And he keeps getting better!

The Canucks are better than we thought that they thought that we thought they'd be.

 

[Motte and Bailey]

It will come down to injuries and the Canucks are much better prepared for injuries this year.

3-3-2?

salty much?

 

[Nomobo]

I didn’t think we were as good as we are.

Injuries are this teams Kryptonite. We already lost Beagle, who was doing great work holding down our bottom 6. Once our defense takes a hit it's going to look just as bad. This team when healthy is a bubble playoff team, assuming our tandem keeps playing this well (which is a big if). That's not bad for a young rebuilding team.

6-3-1 in their first 10.

OJ is waiting.

that was an entertaining game. it may not be sustainable but add in ep and i like where this is going for now.

 

[Svencouver]

Also, lets be honest here. Our expectations were absolutely catastrophic and dismal to the extreme, especially because of pre-season. It's not hard to be "better than we thought they'd be" when you think they'll be at rock bottom.

I didn't watch the game, was this quote just replying a random question or did someone try to get BH to drop gloves?

6-3-1 in their first 10.

Bo did get into a fight tonight and won it with one punch to Bruins player's face (he did get up to make a fight of it but it was already over). He's shaping up to be the undeniable captain of this team.

 

[valkynax]

LMFAO

hahahahaha this is the most hilarious thing I've seen this season so far.

Yeah, suck a big one Boston. You can't even beat an AHL squad.

 

[Catamarca Livin]

Fought Pedan as a 16 year old Pedan was 19 and a monster in junior. He list but was competitive. I am sure he is the second best fighter on the team. Would be something if he ever starts one.

 

[Melvin]

3-3-2?

salty much?

I don't know what that means.

 

[Zombotron]

They took a lot of damage. Krug, McAvoy, Backes, Bjork out before gametime and a few more bruises over the course of the game
