GDT: WCSF | Game 4 | Vancouver Canucks vs. Vegas Golden Knights | 7:30PM PST | SPAC

[Ginger Papa]

Hot take here, this is a pivotal game in the series for the Canucks.

I also wonder how much some homers might try to downplay this fact.

Vegas looks like SC material this year along with TB.

Cmon guys lets turn this around!!!

GOOOO CANUCKS GOOO!!!!!!!!

Man I love this team

Tie it up

Come out hard and score some f***ing goals! Let’s go, boys!

I have a good feeling. Canucks will win.

Tie it Up

Tie it UP

I’ll take even just one (the first goal). Vegas is hard enough to beat, even tougher when they have the lead.

Hoping for a win! ...not even gonna think about a loss.

Tie It UP

The Canucks are not going to win three in a row on Vegas, so it's do or die tonight. Score first.

Do or die gents...

Tie IT UP

I hope they can tonight. Or Motte somehow has a hat trick or something lol.

The consistency issues of this team are baffling. They need to play like how they did in game 2

Tie IT UP

Team needs to simplify.

Get traffic and pucks on net.

Fast clean exits are a must.

If this team has proven nothing else in this playoff run is that they're a resilient bunch. I'm fully confident that we'll win this one tonight. They have too much pride and talent to put out another effort like last night. Fleury is coming in cold against a hungry team starving for some goals. The Canucks will feast tonight and this series will be tied. LFG!!!

TIe IT UP

Must win game

Series will be tied by the end of tonight.

TIE IT UP

I don't know if I like the back to back, oh well. Let's go, boys. Must win!

The Canucks will win tonight’s game

It's frustrating watching them score 5 goals then the next night not be able to even complete a pass in the offensive zone.

Clean up the turn-overs leaving the zone.

Get on them quick. As soon as Vegas has been able to settle in they start to shift the game with their speed in transition.

TIE IT UP!

Canucks have a such a fine margin for error in this series. If Markstrom gives them even 'average goaltending' there's probably no way they can win.

It would help a lot if his defense could win a puck battle and actually clear the puck on their first try....and stop screening him in front. Tanev's positioning on the second goal last night gave him no chance to see the puck, much less make a save.

And they need the pp to have any chance.....another 0-6 night, and it's lights out.

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT
WHERE THE GAUDS LOOK DOWN UPON US
WE COME OUT AND SLAY THE BEASTS!







sorry

TIE IT UP!!!!

Go Go​

Sounds like we get Fleury. Wouldn’t be bad to get Lehner our of there.

 

[EpochLink]

Please no repeat performance from last night.

Re: Hughes - I don’t think the narrative that he’s scared or getting beat up is accurate. IMO, the Wild and the Blues played him way harder and took more runs at him.

Vegas is more like Nicklas Lidstrom vs. The Twins - they’re getting in all the passing lanes, using smart sticks to disrupt all his plays, and keying in on him to prevent him from rushing, passing or shooting well. It’s a high IQ containment strategy that Vegas is pulling off superbly because they have a lot of really smart players.

Yep -- Vegas is really focusing in on Hughes as the engine of our team. Clearly their plan is to force Hughes to give up the puck early and to get sticks in his passing lanes. The way to beat this is to pass the puck and then move -- if we can execute on those give and gos there will be lots of odd man situations and opportunities for us. Quinn needs to pass the puck before making his initial move -- so he needs someone open and available for the pass before he even gets the puck.

When a team plays as aggressively as Vegas, there's always opportunity if we can beat that initial one or two man press.

I actually get angry thinking about him on the roster next season

I don't think we were necessarily the better team in game 2. Markstrom was superb, and we capitalized on our chances, but we can play better as a team.

 

[BB06]

Feel like OJ’s stretch pass could inject some offence into the lineup. We get nothing offensively from that third pairing it’s ugly,

 

[VanillaCoke]

No Loui=we lose...

Canucks have only won 1 game all playoffs with loui out of the lineup...

 

[Paradise Circus]

f*** it all

Go Canucks Go!!!

I think it’s incredibly smart for Vegas to go with Fleury for the b2b (assuming they follow through with it). I think in a few years it will be viewed as ridiculous to play the same goalie on both nights.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Good news if it pans out.

 

[EpochLink]

Good news if it pans out.

Lets go G DAWG

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

I wouldn’t make any changes to the lineup except inserting Myers if he’s good to go. The Canucks have gotten better each game and game 3 was probably their best overall game. 2 goals on the first 3 shots was demoralizing as the shots were 12-4 Canucks at one point. For some reason Markstrom does much better if he gets action early. Got to adjust to Tuck’s neutral zone play, he’s burnt us 3 times in 3 games, can’t happen in the playoffs. Powerplay needs to score! Crucial game, let’s go!!

 

[RussianRacket]

I was unable to post in the last couple days but I want to say that I am so, so proud of how the Canucks took a stand on Thursday in solidarity with the NBA players. To me, the Stanley Cup Playoffs are already a win. It was the single greatest moment in Canucks history.

Hope they win tonight. I love this team.

GO CANUCKS

 

[infinitemile]

What I've learned over the past 3 games is this: the Canucks have to be firing on all cylinders to win, whereas the Golden Knights definitely don't have to be.

The number one thing for us is making quicker decisions with the puck, and getting bodies around the net. Game 1 and for parts of last night, we look terrified of the Golden Knights and can't make a clean pass or shot. We need less cutesy passes on the powerplay and more one-timers.

Seems ridiculous now tbh, unless you have no backup like Boston or Dallas right now.

 

[Grantham]

Some nsfw content up in here lol...

I for one will be too nervous to watch. Actually I have to wake up at 3:30am tomorrow for work, and I don’t want to go to sleep sad. So I hope to wake up to some good news in the early morning before the sun is even out.

Go Nuckies!

I'm getting excited.

Beat the Knights

at their own game

(that’s us starting on the right)

 

[geebaan]

Good news if it pans out.

honestly makes this game that much more important

 

[MajinBo]

Canucks are going to win this one..

 

[I am toxic]

We're toast if we lose tonight so I hope we fight with everything we have.
