Pettersson 5 points

Boeser 4 points

Dumbest ******* team ever! ANY other team holds on to the win there. Any other AHL team even.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

An own goal is the only way this game could have ended.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

maybe he should get a two game suspension for being a little rough on the 160lb 18 year old boy

imagine downplaying the guy who ripped your team apart and had 5 points

 

[HockeyFan100]

Grubauer is absolute garbage. Washington fleeced the Avs on that trade.

 

[Mez]

So Canucks top team in Canada right now haha

 

[Muffin]

You have the lead with less than 1 minute to go with complete control of the puck behind your own net and somehow it ended up to someone wide open in the slot. Just Avs hockey.

brilliant, you brought up his weight after he scored 4 pts and gets slashed on a breakaway. 160lb is a meme now

i guess if someone slashed mackinnon on a breakaway it'd be fine, cuz he weighs 200

 

[Zalos]

Pettersson is amazing.

 

[Ainec]

Game of the year.

kicking myself for not going

knew we were favourites to win

ugh doubt we see another game like this in awhile

And then last night up 4-1 and lose against Calgary. Western Canada has never been good to us.

 

[vcanuck]

you have all just witnessed greatness.

he's 19 yrs old.

My buddy was at the game and said the atmosphere all game was similar to the 2011 run. Place was buzzing from puck drop.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Canucks looking pretty damn good so far this year.

 

[AvsWraith]

Kid does look good, but it's pretty easy to do so against the Avs. I'm pretty sure I could score on them.

 

[Canucks LB]

I told you guys to tune in!

How good was that!!!!

 

[Tralfamadore]

Canucks looking good.

EP is well insulated with Horvat taking the tough matchups. Bo is hella underrated.

 

[Muffin]

Avs look so out of sync right now. Scheduling really ****ing them up. Back to back games, 4 days rest, back to back games, another 4 days rest. What kind of schedule is that?

 

[Avelanche]

he'd power through

 

[Super Hans]

I don't know if I've ever seen a game like that. Three 1-point leads for Canucks, then three 1-point leads for Avs, then 1-point win for Canucks.

He’s been this good all year really. But yeah grub looked awful. Both teams were very poor defensively but it was fun to watch.

 

[aufheben]

Raanta has looked way better then I thought.
I thought Mrasek was gonna have a career killing night, but he's been able to right himself.
The kids on both teams can skate, I was hoping to see more from Staal (he started so strong), Williams for being 77 years old looks like he can still play.

His numbers over his last 85+ games are right there near the top of the league, if not the best.

 

[53or8]

That was an epic game to be at

Guys like Granlund, Sutter, Beagle, Roussel and Motte usually take the load of the defensive zone starts so guys like EP, Horvat, Goldonbin and Gaudette can have more starts in the offensive zone. Pretty amazing that Granlund starts almost 80% of the time in the defensive zone and Sutter and Schaller are just above 70%. 2018-19 Vancouver Canucks Roster and Statistics | Hockey-Reference.com

Most Canuck fans hate on the aforementioned but they provide the Canucks the ability to give their kids softer minutes and is actually pretty smart work by Benning.

Avs are a scary talented team canucks just played a little better.

The game was pretty chippy

Benning has probably saved his career this year
