Good start, results-wise, for a ridiculously scheduled road trip.

reserved for that dumb goal scoring song at Chicago

Three out of four points on back to back matinee games. Take it and move on!

Also, Zadorov is awesome.

 

[Flik]

Joshua winning my heart, Zaddy with the punchies, sure wish we could have killed that penalty for him because I loved how he stuck up for Petey.

Very ugly at points, but I loved the second and third period. Take the 3/4 pts and gtfo.

LF f***IN GO

 

[DFAC]

Honestly, good teams find a way to win when theyre not playing well.

Ill take it and move on to Nashville and Dallas. If we can come away this road trip 2-1-1, Ill be happy.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

If Bedard really want to chirp Petey, he should do it with a canucks jersey

 

[BWJM]

Bedard was crying for a penalty every chance he got, put on some size young buck.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Team has been on a heater in December. Almost Christmas and still easily in the convo for the presidents trophy. Never would have thought that.

 

[Nomobo]

That was a fun game!

 

[Canucks LB]

On a different note, either you play kuzmenko on the first line, or trade the guy, there’s no point playing him on the fourth.

He seems lost

Eh, just happy to get out of this bizarrely scheduled weekend with 3/4 points. Or 5/6 points when you consider it was 3 games in basically 3 1/2 days.

First 10 minutes sucked, last 50 minutes was pretty comprehensive. Should have iced it when Hoglander was robbed.

Joshua and Garland the best players again. Thought Myers-Zadorov had a really good day also.

Hughes continues to look off. Really wonder if he's picked up some sort of knock.

Which is pretty impressive, considering all the jinx threads!!

 

[Lat]

Way more entertaining than that snoozefest yesterday

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

18-0-0 when leading after 40

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

A win is a win. Nice it's another ROW too.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Honestly, good teams find a way to win when theyre not playing well.

Ill take it and move on to Nashville and Dallas. If we can come away this road trip 2-1-1, Ill be happy.

Good teams also can win games without a complete game effort.

2nd place in the entire league. One point back from 1st!

 

[RealGudbranson]

Is Soucy on this trip? Nashville will be a tough game.

 

[Sykur]

3 out of 4 points in B2B matinee games on the road in different cities is highway robbery.

 

[LuckyDay]

Blueger was the best player out there.
Zadarov did good for standing up for Petey but it almost cost us.

Terrible 1st period. Team needed coffee as NHL Network crew pointed out. They woke up in the second.

We're lucky to get two points out of that game and not give up one. Any other team in the league and it's a loss in regulation.

Fourth game in six nights coming up Tuesday after a flight back from Chi-town.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Bit of an ugly one but a dub is a dub. I think they'll come out flying in Nashville.

We need depth dawg

Canucks have now reached their required record for December (6-5-1) in order to hit 95 points by the end of the season. They are well on their way to surpass this for December and make the requirement in subsequent months easier.

Canucks need 25 wins and one OTL over the next 50 games to hit this mark. A record of 25-24-1.

Basically, with each win the Canucks come closer and closer to locking up a playoff spot for the first time since 19/20 and the first real playoff appearance, with fans, since 14/15.

 

[logan5]

Eh. Alright game. They did just enough to beat a bad team. That's what you do in an 82 game schedule.

I guess you don't want to break up the Garland line, but Pettersson could use a proper top 6 winger. Garland is playing really well now, so maybe he would click with pettersson a lot better.

 

[wonton15]

Remember when Joshua and Garland had a mini fight at training camp last year? Now look at them.

Can we have Kuzmenko and Petey throw fists at practice?
