Post-Game Talk: GM 4: Canucks def. Flyers - 3-2 in an SO (Pearson, Boeser)

[DL44]

Interesting....AV was on 1040 with Sekeras and Price.....saying that if he'd any choice in the matter, he'd have never left Vancouver. I don't believe it was Gillis' decision to can him at the time, after only one bad playoff series.

So it was obviously the owner...who richly deserves what's happened to this team in the last five seasons.

Seems rather revisionist.
Even I, as a guy that said if they got rid of AV and Luongo like this board was clamoring for during that season, the Canucks and I would be on a break... even I recognized it was just time to move on by seasons end.

They just got swept.... it's a classic GM move to pull...

(AV got fired before Torts... so it's not like an Aqualini master plan was in place)

what no Loui Eriksson again,man all that money he is making to just sit in the press box and watch a hockey game,,wish I had that job.

He doesn't do anything on the ice anyway. If Aquaman doesn't like paying a guy $6M to sit in the press box (understandable, I wouldn't either) he can thank his GM he keeps having so much faith in.

Oh hey, you are back in BC.
I didn't realize you moved back.

 

[petrishriekandgo]

I'll be at the rink for this one... will be fun to see AV again as he get's his ass handed to him.

 

[Starships]

We're wearing our new alternates tomorrow

Yep. Got my old job back after getting laid off in Calgary. Kind of sick of the back and forth but it is what it is. I'm kind of a drifter I guess!

: the Flying Skate jerseys should be made permanent for the rest of the season. ditch the whale and the stick in the rink

Nah. Stick in rink should be our primary. I actually like the orca, but it kills me that the Canucks are still wearing a corporate logo and not going back to their roots, like so many other teams do.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

Cool. Will be interesting to see how they look live.

 

[geebaan]

I guarantee it’ll be a low scoring 2-1 game for someone tomorrow. Both goalies have stolen the show for both teams, and I expect that to continue.

The Flyers have been one of the better teams, if not the very best team in the NHL so far this year. They have elite goaltending and one of the top 10 forwards in the league in Couturier.

The Canucks will need Markstrom to play as well or better than Hart to have any chance, which is no small ask.

I say 4-1 flyers.

Disagree, best teams so far have been Buffalo, Tampa, St Louis and Carolina. Saying that, Philly is playing well. Their star players haven't even hit their stride yet.

Last two games were in Philly and we lost 2-1 both times. The last time we played them at home we beat them 5-1.

3-2 Vancouver tonight.

I love Couturier but he isn’t top ten in the league, I’d take Horvat over him any day.

I do believe it will be one of those odd non-rival spirited affairs with lots of emotion.

 

[DL44]

Gonna be weird that Ryan Seacrest isnt doing the Canucks -Flyers post game celebration....

 

[thefutures]

Flyers look good so far, interested to see how our young guys take on the challenge of couts and hayes. Id be happy with a point tonight.

 

[NoShowWilly]

another multi-day break after this. silly schedule. fairly busy week coming up though.

 

[Star Ocean]

And leafs are like playing everyday

 

[hellstick]

Yeah, schedule has been weird. The Rangers haven't played for a week, after this game against Edmonton, they have a few days off again.

 

[Addison Rae]

Really? I don’t think if you disagree it’s substantially offside

In courturiers 7th and 8th season he has put up 76 points twice playing with better line mates

Horvat is entering his 6th season and will have some actually talent lining up with him, chances of him doing as well are pretty good

I like Horvats higher offensive upside vs Courturiers Selke consideration

 

[WinterEmpire]

I feel like another big game coming from Carter Hart tonight

The way Courtourierereaux controls the play and speed of the game is a step up on Horvat. He's much more dominant/dangerous with the puck.

Horvat has a more driving power style..

He has a few steps in his game to take before being at Coueutouriere's level. Production is just one piece.

 

[Knight53]

Feel like it's going to be a breakout game for EP and BB

Hopefully Hughes is on the first PP unit

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Got a bad feeling about this one..the combination of AV and Carter Hart does not bode well for the Canucks..Flyers win in OT

Hope I'm wrong.
