Post-Game Talk: [GM 26] Vancouver Canucks defeat Montreal Canadiens | 7-6 | Garland, Mikheyev(2), Horvat, Studnicka, Kuzmenko, & Pettersson

That’s fair.

Anywho, it‘s nice to see our young talent producing instead of regressing. Even if we have major holes on our roster

Oh absolutely. I had fun tonight.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Didn’t Tampa have a win like this against San Jose one of the years they won a cup?

No. They didn't.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Went to bed at 4-0 half way through the game. Spit out my coffee this morning when I saw the score haha!

Same.

I might start skipping more full games as they appear to do better when I don’t watch.

Me too. Woke up this morning just baffled.

Did you check your calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1?

 

[BWJM]

Take the points and ruuuuuun!

 

[Another Empty Netter]

Wow the Canucks comeback scored 7 goals while the other team scored just 2. Awsome

 

[ratbid]

Had Martin, pettersson and Kuzmenko in my fantasy pool last night. Checked when we were down 4-0 and they were a combined minus 6 in fantasy points at that point I think.

Almost deleted my whole damn team in disgust.

Icing on the cake was that goof Matheson looking like **** as EP went by him.

Last time I saw hockey like that was at Columbia 8 rinks.

Pond hockey at it's finest.

Hey they won, a good night but not indicating anything really.

They now have 101 goals against, the best team in the league has 53 goals against. Two different leagues? Three tiers?

I figured it was over at 4 - 0, goalie chased and they had never come back the last 25 years.

But not horribly surprising considering Montreal is in year one of a rebuild, no it was surprising because this group had never shown that kind of resilience this year.

Pick how this game is described, a great comeback, goals by the bushel basket, forget defence all out at all costs scoring.

Entertaining night against another bottom third team. In OT again. Close. Too close.

Once the thought of defence was tossed out they just outscored a very young rebuilding traveling team, barely.

They won, feel good for that, but the holes exposed and on display.

Actually Habs really only scored one as Quinn had an own goal for them

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Can't wait to draft 10th again.

 

[valkynax]

Can't wait to draft 10th again.

Nah we gonna trade our 15th overall pick for a 26 year old foundational tweener whose best years of hockey are ahead.

 

[RutherPlan]

Pettersson on that Mackinnon trajectory. He's going to challenge for points leader next year.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Canucks are 11-12-3 after 26 games this season...After 26 games last season, they were 9-15-2.

 

[VanJack]

Who knows which team is going to show up in the first period of Wednesday's game at the Shark Tank? Will it be the Canucks in 'Period 1' last night, or the third period team? It's anybody's guess.

But the Canucks are 7-3 in their last 10 games. Some of those games have been downright ugly, like last night. But I guess it beats the alternative.

Still, this rag-tag defensive team playing in front to two journeymen goaltenders, can't end well, Can it?

 

[Breakers]

Wild that Pettersson is 5th in EVP

So here is my rank of players in the order that I think they are expandable

1. Myers
2. Garland
3. Pearson
4. Stillman
5. OEL
6. Boeser
7. Mille

next game will determine if this game was the TSN turning point of the season. Coming down from a 4-0 deficit to win the game in overtime is a character win.

Next game is against a trash Sharks team. The road trip and the month of January will determine that.

Are we not entertained? I haven't laughed so hard during a game in years. looks like our new #1 goalie is Delia? God help us...

 

[canuckking1]

This team just can’t do one or the other. Last season they couldn’t put the puck in the net but they could keep it out of theirs. This season they can put the puck in the net but can’t keep it out of theirs .

 

[Orr4Norris]

I see this game as 2 bottom feeders seeing an opportunity to grab a W tonight and going for it. Reminds me of the Ducks game earlier this year.

It doesn't help with the atrocious goaltending Canucks have had this season. If Demko could just even play 70% of how he played last season then this team would be in a playoff position.
