Post-Game Talk: [GM28] Canucks defeat Hurricanes | 4-3 (Pettersson, Miller, Mikheyev, & Lafferty) | Skin of Their Teeth

[Vector]

Canucks are 3-1 in December and the one loss should have at least got to OT.

 

[Vector]

The stats aren't boring Ron, you just suck and throw other people under the bus.

 

[ProviesGhost]

Hughes looks tired last two games.

Tonight is the first win streak we had since...October?

Here's hoping we can pick up the steam and push hard forward.

 

[MS]

Shouldn’t have been that close. Really strong team performance aside weirdly from Hughes.

Carolina looks horrible. You wonder if their window has closed.

Pettersson was terrific. If he plays like that we’ll keep winning.

Canucks had two separate win streaks in November.

Not a great game by Quinn. Looks like the coaches noticed.



Nice to see Hog and Joshua out at the end of the game. Lots of accountability tonight.

True team accountability. Nobody is exempt.

The Good

-Pettersson great performance, elevated his game, hopefully is sign to come consistently
-Lafferty. Wont get pts like this every night but hussled hard and showed he should be a keeper
-Millers game has always been good since came to Vancouver but this season his wierd brain farts are way down. Much more structured game is really pushing him to be even better. Long term deal looking great right now
-Joshua showed hes a great defensive player and can be relied on late. Really impressive stuff for what hes expected to bring
-Myers had one of his best games as a Canuck. Not great but still,

The in between

-Hughes was the least noticeable hes been all year as far as Ive seen. Which is odd hes suppose to be a noticeable guy but pretty quiet
-Brock Boeser quite game but looked good defensively from what i saw

The less positive but dont wanna use the b word

-Demko not playing as well as he can. Hopefully if we make the playoffs he can return to his top level play. Not really worried but use to seeing him playing elite infront of bad teams for so many years
-Kuzmenko from what i saw was quite invisible
-Zadorov channeling his inner Myers quite a bit from what Ive seen. Should be a third pairing guy and not expected to do more than that

 

[bbud]

Nice win be good to see a little streak again

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

What are we now, 16-0-0 leading after 2 periods this season?

If this is Tocchet’s boring hockey, I will take it every day thanks

 

[EpochLink]

Well, the team has a nice 2 day break before they play the Bolts on Tuesday.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Huggy is allowed a down game. Fortunately for us, they're rare.

 

[sting101]

Joshua was great tonight

Has been for awhile

was watching this. not sure what was up. when he did play he looked disengaged.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

1 more win and you owe $100

f***, he tried to make a bet with me but I refused cause it was dumb

Should have done it

Nice to see Petey showing some signs of life.

 

[Yultron]

The Lakers are NBA in season championships, Lekkerimacki scores his 10th goal of the season ,

And the Canucks win !!! It’s been a great day for me 3 for 3

I don't think Carolina's "window" has closed at all. But they are such a weirdly constructed team right now. It's like EA Hockey Videogame sort of roster construction.


They've got such a surplus of Top-3D, but they haven't got an actual #2Center. They're even still kind of thin on the wings on top of that.

They basically bet the season on a pair of okayish goaltenders who have injury history...and i guess here they are. This is what happens. They look a bit like the Canucks last year, but kind of flipped in construction. They don't look engaged or serious. A lot of tuned out seeming players.

 

[tradervik]

Feels like the Canucks should have rolled over this underperforming Carolina team and mental mistakes let the Hurricanes back in the game. Petey came through and aside from a somewhat flukey goal, locked things down in the third.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Where is @Just A Bit Outside when the team won?

Can I still take on the $100 bet of of not more than 4 wins til Christmas?

 

[canuckking1]

Huggy is allowed a down game. Fortunately for us, they're rare.

I think he's a little worn down and the games keep pilling up. Canucks can't get to the Christmas break fast enough

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Rick is giving him the opportunity and he’s running with it. Hogs definitely appreciates the trust and challenge and has taken it to heart. Hoglander is going to be my next jersey with the skate.

I hope Pod is next, we don’t need PDG plays every night

 

[PavelBure10]

Watching Boeser on after hours. Really happy that he didn't get traded. A true class act, who is refreshed and rejuvenated. Completely different hockey player.

 

[Petey O]

1 more win and you owe $100

You're gonna get a nice discount on that skate jersey, aren't you?

 

[Wry n Ginger]

Ian Cole is such a good interview
