Post-Game Talk: [GM29] Canucks defeat Lightning | 4-1 (Kuzmenko & Boeser(3)) | Three Straight!

[SeawaterOnIce]

I have spent decades shitting on fans for throwing their hats on the ice. Well...my $29 hat is now gone but it was absolutely f***ing worth it.

Tampa looked all sorts of good early on but really didn't have the finishing to do anything meaningful. A game where the Canucks were more opportunistic and clinical in finishing their chances. We really took over in that 2nd.

Was a really good game to watch live.

i'd like to see replays of myers and zadorov stick checking together. i sure as hell would not want to make a zone entry on those guys.

Myers: Chaos UNDIVIDED!!!!!!!!!

Zadorov: you die for mother Russia...

 

[God]

Shocked the Lightning are where they are in the standings even after the return of Vasi, but they're still a very well structured and coached team.

Likewise, shocked that this board stops melting down about the Canucks being pretenders after a loss when they defeat a good team in a win /s

that jeannot trade is looking really f***ing bad now.

 

[crowfish]

Brocket Richard does it again!

"Weakest Division".

Many thought it was the toughest division before the season cause Vegas, Edmonton and LA were all seen as contenders with Seattle and Calgary grabbing wild cards

Man, i still dont know why people bought in the Calgary hype

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Tocchet deserves some praise here. Was patient with both Joshua and Juulsen and both have been much better recently. Myers looks to be developing some chemistry with Zadorov.

Which is exactly why we have to be patient with Kuz in my opinion. Fortunately I think everyone here agrees.

Trading AK47 now would be a 100% JEB move.

Good thing we got Moleman and Mr. Clean in charge right now.

Crazy what the margins are to be a contender in this league. Misidentifying Jeannot probably closed their contention window a season or two early. 5 picks (including a 1st) for a $2.65M fourth liner.

But how many more wins do we get before Christmas_ Over/Under on 4?

Tampa is screwed in a couple of years as Hedman and Stamkos age out and/or leave the team. They have no 1st round picks in the next 2 drafts, and the 2024 draft they don't have a 2nd or 4th round pick.

In terms of prospects, the earliest they'll have any chance of a 1st rounder make an impact on their team is approx 5+ years out.

was just looking at stats and hronek is one point ahead of the highest scoring red wing, debrincat

Looked it up and I'm not sure why they made the trade - Jeannot's numbers before the trade reminds me very much of someone like David Clarkson.

And Tampa gave up a boat load of assets for this guy.

I think they'll probably go about like Penguins did, trading away picks to supplement Stamkos and Hedman, until they are no longer competitive for playoffs.

Just wanna say @Just A Bit Outside held his own side of the bargain. Highly respected poster.

I'll have you know it's going towards my new jersey.

Cheers!

Congrats and thanks for sharing this.

Really happy for Brock.


And great job boys. Keep it up.

Nice to see a person honour their word.

 

[Bitz and Bites]

Three wins in a row and the last two against projected serious contenders from the East, well done. Also it’s awesome to see BB feeling it again after a couple nightmare seasons where it looked like he’d completely lost his spark.

Reminds me of the exchange from Parks and Rec.

Swanson: Look, friend, I respect your slavish devotion to the free market, but you can't welch on a contract. [Bill chuckles] Where I come from, a man's word is sacred.

Bill Butler: Okay, what's your stance on pinky swears, George Washington? I'm taking the money.

They had pulled a similar move for Hagel and it worked wonders for them. The idea with Jeannot was to pay up for another cost controlled forward who had room to get better. Lots of trust on pro scouting, but guess it was a whiff.

They saw on oppurtunity to signed him to a long and cheap contract and got cocky

Hagel had multiple years of high productivity and had a better contract situation than Jeannot. It wasn't the worst gamble in hoping he could play like his rookie form but it's looking like a complete whiff now.

 

[CherryToke]

I felt like an old outdated man wearing my green and blue Kesler jersey at the game tonight. Time for a black and yellow upgrade I suppose.

 

[Peter Griffin]

The weird thing is that Jeannot was already starting to look like a pumpkin for Nashville last season and they still severely overpaid. Looking like a rare miss for Brisebois.

I agree defense is more important than wingers. But if we trade Brock which winger is going to score us goals?

That is true. If Kuz can regain his last season's form, that could solve that issue.

That or triple shift JT Miller.

There are more obvious candidates to unload (Garland) but you're unlikely to get anybody of much worth (and might have to take a "bad" contract back).

I’ll take the over

Florida would be nice to complete the set but am I reading this right we play Minnesota and Chicago in back to back afternoon games!!!!!!

 

[Vector]

Canucks have a f***ed up back-to-back this weekend. Not the toughest opponents but it’s on the road.

Minnesota Wild: Saturday, 11am
Chicago Blackhawks: Sunday, 12pm
