10-0 canucks

 

[PavelBure10]

Alright here we go again. Pumped to get this game going. Hoping that this is the game where Pettersson breaks out of his slump and starts to get confidence to become an offensive force again. Also hoping the special teams starts to excel. The Canucks need to stay out of the box. Going to be a great game, I'm like a junkie waiting for his fix. I can't wait.

Go Canucks

The U2 Intro actually dates back to the WCE Era in the early 2000s. I believe we started using it during the 2002-2003 season.

EDIT:

You can definitely hear it here as they step on the ice - Game 7, Round 2, 2003.

Anyone know exactly when the fist bump train became a thing?

I remember as a kid watching games in this era it definitely wasn't but now it seems completely normal but I'm not sure how that happened lol.

Also Sopel may as well have been Hughes in that clip wtf lol

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

It is game day, my dudes.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

It is game day, my dudes.

Always pictured this is exactly what you looked like! Glad I was right!

Anyone know exactly when the fist bump train became a thing?

I want to say it was carried over from the World Juniors in the mid-late 2000s?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

I can 100% confirm that they started doing it during the WCE days. I went to a lot of playoff games.

They used it as a brief intro song in that regular season game against the LA Kings where Harold Druken scored (April, 2000).

 

[Zombotron]

NVM i'm going back year by year and they were doing this by the late 90s

Remember we used this as our goal song?

 

[EpochLink]

Alright, game 2!!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

This team simply won't compete without Pettersson playing even at 80-90% of his best. Right now he's about 50%.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Dan Cloutier “he’s been lit up 11 goals in the last 39 shots”. f*** me lol

What the actual f***.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Remember we used this as our goal song?

Oh, yes. That was about 2000-2001, I think?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

In fact, first goal song I can remember distinctly was “Good Thing” by the Fine Young Cannibals in the early 90s.

Didn't Linden try to put a stop to it at some point? Something like, "Act like you've been here before."

10-0 canucks

11-0 Canucks

Dan Cloutier “he’s been lit up 11 goals in the last 39 shots”. f*** me lol

Oh man Sopel, Ohlund, Klatt, May, Chubarov, Allen.... <3<3<3

I adored those guys.

Sopel was ahead of his time. He was scapegoated badly here

 

[Bgav]

Get pucks on the net today, please. Saros did not look good last game

 

[LemonSauceD]

Oh man Sopel, Ohlund, Klatt, May, Chubarov, Allen.... <3<3<3

Yep same. Ruutu, Mayday, Cooke, Jovo, Malik. What an era lmfao

Wasted because we had f***ing Cloutier. Watching the present day Avs reminds me of the pre lockout Canucks because they have Georgiev who’s pretty much a modern day Cloutier.

Avs are way better imo.

Ruutu and Cooke I loved until their final days where they became embarassing. Malik... no.

Jovo I wanted to love. I loved him as a Panther. but he became a nightmare in Vancouver. He was so dumb though... it was hilarious.

Also Baron was a perfect bottom pairing D

Crazy we wasted a blueline of this, with no success to show for it:
Ohlund-Sopel
Malik-Jovanovski
Allen-Salo

I’d never thought you are a Sopel fan

I didn’t like Jovo at all either Lol.

Avs are definitely better. And Cloutier was much worse than 4giev. Cloutier was getting lit up during the f***ing dead puck era that f***ing sieve.

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

I’d never thought you are a Sopel fan

He made glaring errors often... but honestly the fans were so hard on him I think it made him nervous to screw up. Even live.

He wasn't paid all that much and was playing shut down minutes on the first pairing with Ohlund. He played the PP and was incredible at holding the line. Like he made plays at the line consistently that were mind blowing. Had an accurate wrist shot which he could get through to the goalie almost all the time and was a good skater. Weak on his skates at times and was prone to big gaffs. But he was far more valuable than his contract and played a lot of minutes for us. Good passer too and would put up 30-40 points.

Not surprised to learn he dealt with alcoholism and anxiety during those times as he seemed nervous all the time and almost jittery in interviews. Loved the guy though. He was challenged in Chicago to become a defensive defenseman in order to stay in the league and he became a great one. Shot blocking dynamo and a solid 5-6 on some good Chicago teams.

Seems like a really good guy off the ice nowadays advocating for mental health and played a big role in supporting Kyle Beach in that fiasco.

I didn’t like Jovo at all either Lol.

Bruh you just said you liked Jovo

Game 2: Electric Boogaloo

 

[Bobby9]

We will see a more desperate Preds team for sure. Going down 2-0 is more often than not a death sentence in the playoffs.

Big game for sure. A win for the Canucks tonight sows the seeds of insecurity in to the Preds. We would be 5-0 over the year for them and that mental hurdle might be to big to over come for any team.
