In response to SnapIt – I don't wear hats to games, but if I did, I sure as hell wouldn't throw mine. They're not cheap, and I really only ever wear one or two, which aren't generic enough to be able to replace easily. Full admiration to those who do choose to give theirs up, though.
Seeing as there's not some massive Illinois expat community in Vancouver, you can bet those are just self-hating British Columbians for which the city is pretty famous.
Mine was a 7-2 loss to the Bruins in the 1989-90 season.

Jake was super close to scoring twice.
There really wasn't much to not like except sometimes he would get lost a bit.

Sedins cementing their place in HOF with performances like this. Just off the wall in this one. You've got the hockey elite here with Toews and Kane and the Sedins are more than right with them. Unfortunate aspect is that the team will never bottom out and get that high end draft choice till they are gone.
Understand the ambivalence that some feel about wins but what a great game for the fans who pay the bills and attend these games.
Good games
Sedins - well yah
Hansen - can't take him off the Sedin line while he's playing like this. Guy you can play in any situation. btw was having Vrbata out a negative.
Prust - having him in the line up makes a difference. 4th line is much better with him on it.
Edler - looked more in control and steadier on the puck. Played well with the Sedins
Weak
Miller - nice stop on the Kane breakaway but he had to have the second goal. Maybe call him adequate but no better than that.
Higgins - Weak in his own end. I don't see him doing anything positive. Liked Virtanen better here. At least he is showing some offense.
Bartkowski - seems to be constant panic mode and rushing from one bad situation to another. Gets pushed back into his crease all the time.
Weber - sort of similar to Bartkowski. Only good in open ice and gets tied up in traffic in his own end. Teams can easily force turnovers out of him. Has trouble with any kind of speed.
Others
Kudos to Sbisa for at least going to the body. Little ragged early on but overall decent game
Not great but better by Horvat. Good job in the circle. However still needs to get to the positive side of the stats
Also Baertschi was better. Showing flashes of speed and improved work along the boards and in traffic. Does look like he is competing harder and playing better two way hockey.
Nice to win one like this but the Canucks obviously have to develop some secondary offense and it's hard to see where this will come from.

Professional Winner.
We will put together a pool for your next game.
I don't want to even talk about the amount of cash I spent at the Canucks store in the last calendar year.

What morsels did HiggsBroson drop that the anecdote that was relayed on the broadcast "spoiled" it? Was Higgins the one who pulled the prank?

Yeah it's very expensive.
Fun though! Sat next to a drunk guy who was really funny.

Sutter can't come back sooner enough. Hopefully Willie gives him linemates for a proper run instead of a revolving door.
Probably over all the best game by the team... and well the twins are the team.
For the most part it really was a solid team game, some hiccups, and man is Kane fun to watch, that tying goal was all him.
Miller wasn't great, but he played better than Crawford.
Weber played better, and I thought it really helped Hamhuis out. Really for the most part the deffence didn't look great, but they seemed effective.
Also always fun to beat the Hawks.

No matter how agonzing it is. He's playing real minutes against every team's top line at 20 years old. If he can hang on. He's essentially a perrennial selke candidate.
He looks lost at times but this was the stanely cup champs at least.

What a game to watch
Sedins are amazing. I'm assuming I missed Y2K complaining about their possession numbers tonight.

great to see prusty back. 4th line with him alongside dorse/cracknell changes things. they can forecheck and have decent hockey skills. besides fighting. passing for example. mainly from prust. sedins were vintage tonight. defense is still questionable every game.

Trying to be patient with Higgins because he's missed so much time...but the guy just looks like he's lost his wheels....constantly getting beat to pucks and delivering next to nothing offensively.....I can't believe one of Shinkaruk, Gaunce or even Jensen couldn't bring as much to the table at this point in their careers.

Glad it was a great night for you, WTG.
Beating the Hawks is always awesome. What a game by the Twins.
