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

[wonton15]

I think a lot of us were skeptical on Tocchet at first but he really has turned around a lot of the previously struggling players so far. Miller is focused, Boeser is rejuvenated, Hoglander is breaking out. Fun to watch.

Now fix Kuzmenko please

 

[sting101]

Brock Boeser....nothing but respect BB6.

So happy to see things go your way

 

[biturbo19]

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

Yeah. Hughes just doesn't look as "jump off the screen" dynamic as he did earlier. It's leading to some mistakes. Just those split second differences in things.

Would be great to be able to rest him a little bit more, but probably the break is going to be the best opportunity to do that.


Has certainly also started to call into question just how "locked in" that Hughes-Hronek pairing at is. It was cool to see it go to work, and it's something you can always revisit now when needed. But is there not some alternatives that open up there, if they're suddenly just back to looking for a Hughes RHD partner...which would set up a Cole-Hronek pairing. Where both of those guys look like they could use a little bit of relief too.

 

[Kryten]

Stop making Brock cry, coward

 

[Flik]

Hoglander had a couple battles on the boards to get pucks out late in the "shell mode" that really just made me think, "holy heck he's finally getting it".

It's never been that he can't don't that stuff. He just never seemed to realize that he should do that stuff. Just battle the puck out, get it across the line...fight another new battle with offsides rule on your side. He's growing under RickyTok.

YES!!!

 

[biturbo19]

HS Brock highlights are hilarious. Just blowing past guys, dangles for days, hot dog as f***.

Tonight was my first live game in about ten years so stoked to see a win!

On a side note, is it normal at Canucks games for people to come to their seats and make everyone stand up in their row in the middle of a play? I go to some WHL games in Prince George and everybody there seems to know not to do that. Couldn't believe how much I saw that tonight

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Ian Cole is such a good interview

He talks like someone with a real highschool degree instead of the pro hockey players version

Ushers usually refuse to let people down the stairs during play from my experience.

As much as I've loved so much hockey, it's weird that we have played so many more games than the Kings. The team needs some downtime, and some dedicated practice time. Still, good win tonight.

No wonder he pulls.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Missed almost the entire game, caught the final 8 on radio while driving

If Petey is healthy enough now, watch out, the rest of the league

Upside 2nd half travel eases and they get more days between games look at standings and they are solid shape with a better 2nd half coming up

 

[sting101]

Boeser is a fuxxing legend.

Sorry but those charitable stories with what hes been through with his sister and Duke and the fact hes our longest serving Canuck who loves Vanvouver made me emotional.

We talk about hockey players having no personality but when Gen Alpha starts playing I think we’ll miss the old days

 

[Regal]

Isn’t it nice by December, we are talking about this team in prime position of standings.

Years prior it was the same old ‘trade this, trade that, fire this, fire that’.

Nice to finally change the narrative

Or trying to see what kind of win streak might put the playoffs back on the table. And at this point, the team only really has to go slightly over .500 the rest of the way to make it

 

[tradervik]

Hard to believe this is Boeser’s 8th season with the Canucks

nah, have you heard Bedard talks? He's very well spoken by nhl standard

 

[Nomobo]

Stop making Brock cry, coward

I had something in my eye.

 

[Jack Burton]

Why does her thumb look like a toe?

 

[Kryten]

nah, have you heard Bedard talks? He's very well spoken by nhl standard

Hes a zoomer, they are alright

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

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?

Didn’t make the bet at the time.

But I’ll pay up once they win one more.

1 more win and you owe $100

Deal is a deal

 

[Breakers]

They showed the scoring leaders after the game

My god did McDavid shoot up quick.

fair enough, my lost

I'm glad we got a guy like Boeser on this team. Character wise it's nice to have our top scorer be a good kid who will take a girl with Downs to the prom instead of a guy who gets arrested for sexually harassing a security guard. Not saying he's better than Matthews and he's been horrible at times over the years but I appreciate that he seems like a genuinely good person and I'm proud he wears the logo of the team we cheer for.
