Post-Game Talk: [GM30] Canucks defeated Panthers | 4-0 (Kuzmenko, Joshua(2), & Boeser) | Tribute to Luuuuuu!

[SillyRabbit]

No better way to celebrate Lu than a shutout.

My Canucks GOAT.
Love the guy.

Ironically I feel like Luongo got a ton of shutouts in Florida but in Vancouver we always ruined his shutouts by letting 1 goal get by him in games where he should have gotten shutouts.

When did they play the OEL tribute video?

Think it was after Joshua's first goal.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Is it just this new vibe Canucks or does that seem like a pretty winnable road trip?

No such thing as an easy road trip. But we should go at least 2-2 to remain competitive in the Pacific.

 

[Flik]

We ain't true contenders yet, but god damn is this fun

 

[Kryten]

Our players had more shots on Demko than Bobrovsky in the 3rd

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Hey Panthers

you arent scoring many on Demko with those weak ass shots from the outside

Except the best team in franchise history just robbed him of shutouts left right and center. That carried into Schneider and Demko's tenures too.

Ah ha, I found the video that claims Flames won the Zadorov trade


Even through a monitor the stench of copium is almost unbearable.

Yes and no. The afternoon road back-to-backs can be very tricky.

 

[MS]

Really solid 40 minutes and then safely turtled out the game in the 3rd.

Great game for the bottom-6. Top 2 lines didn’t generate much but the 3rd and 4th lines generated a ton of chances and all of those guys were terrific.

Really solid defensive game despite the SOG totals. 0 odd-man rushes against and there were only 1 or 2 Demko saves that were anything other than routine.

Juulsen has been playing the best hockey of his career but that 3rd was a little creaky.

Myers mostly had one of his better games but his mistakes are so dumb and so infuriating.

Zadorov was terrific. Starting to get on board for an extension.

 

[mossey3535]

Happy for Kuzmenko, IMO not a coincidence he looks better on the Miller line. Miller has just been more consistent than EP and of course Boeser is hot while Mik is sometimes barely trying out there.

 

[Flik]

In honour of one of our dopest posters..... boy I really do adore this hockey group!

You're not kidding.

It’s a trap

Pius Suter for $1.6 mil for another year is a ridiculous steal. I can't believe teams wouldn't give him 2 year term.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Simply one of their best complete games so far. And we're at 41 points in 30 games played. Still leading the league in RWs.
What a difference a year makes.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Man I love this team

 

[MS]

When Edmonton started their 8-game winning streak they were 16 points behind us. They’re now … 14 points behind us.

Nice to have the shoe on this foot instead of chasing.

 

[Vector]

Perfect ice time distribution.

But someone told us the Canucks were trash and the Oilers would pass them by now.

This really highlites how dumb the points are given. Standings would be very different if all games were worth 3 points

 

[EpochLink]

After 30 games, Canucks are 20-9-1.
21 games where this team got at least a point.

Bravo y’all, finally some meaningful December games.

That someone is very quiet rn

How many more wins do we even need to make the playoffs based on the last couple of years? Ptsd still runs strong. Slowly disappearing tho.
