Post-Game Talk: Make it 8-2-2: Canucks 2, Wild 1

[Bleedred]

our goalies are too good

Best tandem in the league I have to say. Top 5 goalie, and another very good starter is very valuable in this short season.

 

[Orca Smash]

We outshot the wild, i think people forget we were much better then the wild the first two periods, but went lockdown in 3rd.

 

[serge2k]

8-1-1 last 10, hottest team in the league.

 

[Flik]

Ugly win.


But..... it's a win.

 

[VanCanucks53]

Great debut for the Minny goalie too.

 

[VanEric]

Won the game and no one appeared to be seriously injured. Onto the next one!

 

[John Bender*]

Gillis really needs to do something with regard to the PP. I suppose he is waiting to see if Kesler can turn it around......I think Gillis should be on the hunt for a QB type d-man. They can't go into the playoffs with Hamhuis and Garrison on the 1st unit PP. Garrison just does not have it. Hamhuis is not cut out for it.

Schultz would have been so perfect it's not even funny. It's a shame he did not select Vancouver. Who else is available out there? Visnovsky? Would he help?

 

[serge2k]

hmmm

2.10 5 on 5 F/A.

I wanna see 3.0

 

[Bleedred]

Remember when the Wild signed Parise and Suter? The response around here was "at least the games won't be boring anymore."

My kingdom for Wes Walz.

I haven't seen any other team that much over the cap that is this allergic to scoring. I said when they were signed it makes them playoff contenders, not championship contenders. The Wild might contend for the playoffs, but are nowhere near a lock. Would laugh if they finished in 9th. They cannot compete with this team.

They are in cap hell, and Heatley is a rotting corpse. You know he's on his way out this Summer.

8-2-2 to start the season. Gotta say I'm pleasantly surprised.

Garrison had how mnay PP goals last year?

Not his fault the team has exactly 0 players who can setup a one timer.

Who wudda thunk it?

 

[Pseudonymous*]

lapierre was 13-10 in the circle, trying to show that he can be counted on with malhotra out

 

[Angry Little Elf]

I hope Raymond is a nominee for the masterton, he deserves it.

What I want when Kesler returns

Sedin - Sedin - Kassian
Kesler - Edler

(Kesler wont be beaten up in front of the net anymore)

Raymond - Schroeder - Burrows/Higgins/Hansen
Bieksa - Garrison/Hamhuis

I'm ok with Garrisson but he needs to hit the freaking net!

 

[LiveeviL]

sucks that anaheim couldn't lose BUT minny and edmonton did! woooo!

Better that the Ducks won, they did play the Blackhawks after all.

I just saw the third of the game and it wasn't that exciting, even when the Wild put the pressure on.

 

[HighAndTight]

Great debut for Minny's goalie.

 

[pahlsson]

i didn't watch the whole game, but burrows looked like absolute ****

 

[y2kcanucks]

I hope Raymond is a nominee for the masterton, he deserves it.

If he would have been one it would have been last year. Either way I think someone like Josh Harding is all but guaranteed the Masterton given what he's gone through.

I dont think garrisson is even on PP unit right now, our first PP unit is edler and whoever else.

Re-watching the Hansen goal - beauty all around. Raymond wins the puck at the boards, makes a nice dangle, feeds Ballard, who makes a nice pass to an open Hansen thanks to Schroeder taking Clutterbuck out of the play.

 

[Ozone]

Exactly.

 

[YogiCanucks]

Hansen, Higgins, Lappy are back with their hustle. Kassian joining them too.

Surprised at how chippy the Sedins were. Usually when they get fired off they just go globe trotter on the opposing teams @ss.

I was thinking - I bet this is the year Luongo finally wins the Vezina. Maybe this is going to be a Tim Thomas type situation - remember when Boston had decided Rask was their guy, but their GM could not find a solid deal for Thomas in the Summer, so they kept him? He only went on to win the Vezina, the Conn Smythe and the Stanley Cup right after that, didn't he?
