Post-Game Talk: Jets 2, Canucks 1: It's a Winnipeg brownout! Mark Flood would be so proud.

Canucks' Brock Boeser scores game-winner in NHL debut

Brock Boeser's college career ended in crushing fashion on Friday night. Scoring in his NHL debut the next day in front of his family and friends wasn't a bad consolation prize.

Boeser scored in his first NHL game a day after signing with Vancouver, Reid Boucher added two in a four-goal second period and the Canucks defeated the slumping Minnesota Wild 4-2 on Saturday.

Alright back to business. Please lose.

 

[Yggdrasil]

i for one am excited to see how boeser matches up against laine.

both are RW snipers. 1st round draft pickers, laine is a surefire elite rookie for sure...and will likely be superstar in his prime.

 

[JumpierPegasus]

The Weakerthans are one of the more underrated Canadian bands over the past 20 years. Quality stuff from them

Hope we lose, but also hope Bo, Bae, Boes, and Bouch play well again

Go Jets Go!

First heard that song here:

 

[M2Beezy]

6-2 Canucks with our goals by Horvat (2) Baertchi Boeser Stecher and Boucher

Gotta beat these losers in there building. I believe in the tank but theres gotta be some pride in these last few games and losing to the Jets would be too much

 

[CherryToke]

Let me guess. Boeser is benched for this one because he needs to learn how to play defence or something.

2/2 with motivational material.

Going old school this time

Having watched that clip I vote we stop talking about Boeser's choice of number. I like when sons honor their fathers by wearing their number (Marky, Brock etc.).

Long may it continue, long live the B-Line.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

I hope they rest the kid. His needle must be way past the line now.

Toi yesterday?

And I asked about the number cause I want a jersey. I think the choice is great but the commotion here over it gave me pause.

 

[m9]

The talk yesterday was that Boeser would miss this game because of Visa issues, so we'll see. I'm sure a day off wouldn't be a bad thing.

Oh right it's in Winnipeg. Duh yes of course he'll miss it. Much too quick a turnaround for Visa process.

I think he sits. But Skille got hurt so might be needed if it's even possible (Probably won't have his visa yet).

The jersey number comment was not directed at you - more a general reaction to the same commotion you mention!

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Okay, fun is fun, and I'm glad that Brock got his happy beginning, but it's high time we got back to the business of losing.

Also, this injury parade can just **** off... because besides the faint glimmer of hope we are getting from the young guns, the only good thing we can salvage from this season is the chance that Utica makes the playoffs and has a bit of a run; which isn't going to happen if we have to keep pulling up their guys as injury replacements. Although I will have a sad laugh if we ever see a Sedin-Sedin-Biega line hit the ice.

3-2 'Peg

Boucher x2

You're right. Totally forgot about Visas. Which is weird how fast he got into the lineup given he just signed his contract and is employer is based in Canada.

I mean, didn't Goldobin not play in the game against SJ after we acquire him due to Visa issues? He was already playing in the US, which was where the game was, but I would imagine that since his employer went from a US team to a CAD team that he would need to go through the paperwork.

So, it is kind of strange how fast Brock was able to get into the lineup unless the Canucks had already put in the paperwork. but, he signed his deal on Saturday and government offices would have been closed.

The number thing for me was that I've been watching hockey since the 80's and forwards generally don't wear a number lower than 7. The odd ones are Lecavalier cause his grandfather loved Beliveau. And you had a couple of guys like Joe Thornton who started with #6 in Boston, and Bobby Ryan, who also wore #6 when he first arrived in Ottawa. Plus you have Coyle in Minny with #3. So, for me, it just looked odd. But, if Brock chose it to honour his father, by all means. As long as players have a good reason for taking what I would consider an odd number (like Hornet's #53, I'm ok with them going with it). I just find that guys like Megna and Chaput who wear numbers in the mid 40's are what they are, which are AHL call ups wearing their training camp number. Would like to see Stecher and Gaunce switch numbers next season. Really surprised that the Canucks didn't ask Gaunce to switch after training camp, like they did for Virtanen and McCann last year.

Been a Peg fan for years, cuz sadly I lived there for 3 years (very few redeeming qualities honestly).

I hope they win this in regulation. We need to continue to tank ...

Good. He should have been eased into the line-up after a couple practices anyway, plus he was pretty much favouring his heavily-wrapped wrist all game.

 

[polarbearcub]

Buff is out and Laine is a game time decision

Has anyone heard any update on this?

Why in the blue hell would you be a fan of that team??? Cant understand that one AT ALL

Botchford tweeted that he got his work permit, I'm pretty sure he's playing.

 

[Mudshark50]

Nice. A Weakerthans love fest.

Buttfugly and Laine out? Not good for the tank.
