Man Motte is like the heart of this team. small guy but never gives up.

 

[vanuck]

What a series. Good job to the boys for battling hard in this one.

 

[Flik]

I’m gonna go look up the quotes from when the blues were up 3 - 1. Just to entertain myself...


I seem to remember a lot along the lines of blues in six at that point

Blues in 6 was my original guess, I happily eat crow.

 

[NorCalhockey]

This is a very big win for this franchise. The young assets were excellent. Goaltending was excellent. Injuries were overcome. Everything from here on out is gravy.

THIS all day long. Going into the qualifiers I think the consensus was it’s good the Canucks especially the young guys get playoff experience so no matter win a series or lose, it’s getting the experience that counts. But if they win a series or two, that’s just gravy. Canucks are playing with house money

 

[StLewis11]

Congratulations guys. A well deserved win.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

REMINDER FOR EVERYONE


We don’t have Toffoli since G2 against the Wild

 

[Flik]

f*** it. Party time.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Congratulations guys. A well deserved win.

GG
Blues was the team I watched the past couple years in playoffs
It was fun

Blues in 6 was my original guess, I happily eat crow.

I had Canucks in 7, thankfully both of us were wrong.

What a way to go into the weekend!

I’ll admit I was one of those saying this but I’ll happily eat crow now

 

[ChilliBilly]

Oh goody two people eating crow

 

[NorCalhockey]

Fair enough.

Looks like the amount of HATE we gonna get is gonna be of epic proportions.

My yes was in response to a Canucks goal being scored

Super Motte 64! Hopefully his source of power isn't shrooms, or else we may have the NHL looking into things...

 

[maroon 6]

Wow what a series

 

[MS]

Story of this series is pretty simple.

Markstrom : .930

St. Louis goalies : .867

That’s as lopsided as you’ll ever see. If St. Louis received the same .930 goaltending we did, they allow 10-11 fewer goals in a 6-game series. Get goaltending like that and you can’t win.

 

[ErrantShepherd]

Oh goody two people eating crow

Somewhere out there, Mark Crawford is feeling strange phantom biting sensations...

 

[NorCalhockey]

Is it EE-lie-us or Ell-ee-us Pettersson? I keep hearing it both ways

 

[yvrtojfk]

So what are our chances against the Knights? Their team is really deep, fast and seems to be healthy. What are the concerns?

 

[Huggy]

[thenextone]

Was game 7 supposed to be tomorrow and game 1 on Sunday? Could have been 3 straight games for either team...

 

[VancouverJagger]

Well, looks like we will beat the champs, so I am declaring Canucks champions, how about that?!

I can get onboard with this line of thinking..........

 

[AzNightmare]

Green not smiling at all. Love it.

He was emotional in the Tanev OT winner. Rookie playoff coach. He now realized coaches aren't supposed to show emotion when they win series. Lol

Lot of people were ready to pack it in after that miserable second period of G4. And whaddaya know, we win the next two. There's something special about this squad...St Louis had all the reasons for winning at that point, had all the experience, the self belief, the skill, and the momentum, yet we beat them anyways.

Exactly! Undefeated when given the chance to close out a team in the Pettersson/Hughes era. Guys are learning how the game is played in the playoffs and developing a killer instinct. This is more than I ever thought I would be able to say for this season.

I’ll admit I was one of those saying this but I’ll happily eat crow now

I'm sure I was as well. Never thought in a million years they would do this.

It's the f***ing Canucks. It's been 50 years of disappointment.

And yet, here we are. And I'm still watching and hopeful lol
