GO CANUCKS GO

Man I love this team

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Last year was brutal in a lot of ways, but the team digging deep and winning after their battle with COVID was a terrific moment.

Let’s make it 7 in a row tomorrow and get back to .500! GO CANUCKS GO!

Epic moment

I present to everyone my favourite Canucks vs Leafs game of all time:



-come-from-behind victory
-sweet Raycroft revenge
-Healy going on about how Burrows is a passenger only to completely humiliate him

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Let’s make it lucky number 7.
Toronto is the real test but I have no doubt

Love, love, love that game. When the Leafs went up 3-0 the HNIC panel and Healy basically needed a post-coital cigarette. To watch the Canucks just come back and annihilate them like that was glorious.

D getting thinner
Leafs didn’t play on Thursday due to covid

Probably a first loss under BB?

Another good one. Bob Cole was just dejected near the end "....goal, make it 6-1."

Hey look, this game features two guys, who as of today, are former coaches!*

*Maurice and Green

[TruKnyte]

Hoping we make it 7.

That D though....

Poolman is supposed to be back so that gives a boost

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Bunting - Matthews - Kase
Kerfoot - Tavares - Nylander
Engvall - Kampf - Mikheyev
Ritchie - Spezza - Simmonds

That is a deep forward group.

 

[CanuckleBerry]

Poolman is supposed to be back so that gives a boost

Does it? Lol

 

[bobbyb2009]

[CherryToke]

I'll take Poolman over Juulsen any day

Over Juulsen?
Yes

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hoo boy. Here we go again.

Should just postpone the game.

 

[DL44]

Hoo boy. Here we go again.

Should just postpone the game.

They'll push through... the threshold appears to be if you have more 7 or 8 guys on protocol.
A couple guys on each team should not warrant a cancellation..

Poolman should be set to return pending that third negative test that they were waiting on yesterday.

Tavares and Kerfoot in for an extended Vancouver visit now. Better than being stuck in Toronto at this time of year.

I remember going on the Tor board about 11 years ago. I made a remark along the lines of "you guys are looking better. In a year or 2 I think you might be in the playoffs". Oh, were they pissed. One guys comment was "this is why I hate Vancouver fans". I wasn't even trolling. I responded by saying I had been a Tor fan since I was young, and only lost faith because of Ballard. But still cheered for them.

anyhow, talk about a disaster. Do everyone realize that in the last 17 years,

1 - they made the playoffs once in the first 11 years,
2 - in that period they have not once won a series.

Since they got Mathews they have had good regular seasons, but just can't win in the playoffs.

I actually still cheer for them. But I probably prefer the other Canadian teams other than Mtl.

Still bitter about going to games for 50 years and having Mtl and Tor fans trying to drowned out the Canuck fas.
