Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Flames - 4-2 (Garland, Wouters, Miller, Pearson)

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Holy f*** Gudbranson is bad. He would be a mediocre AHLer at this point, but somehow is making more than double league min to be an absolute garbage can.

10 years in the league , and has made over $26M in career earnings.

Definition of a Chad.

Do you want to know whats frustrating, I 100% Wanted to go to the game, but I can’t justify paying $80 for a pre-season ticket

Have you seen the players the Flames are icing for this game? You probably got off lucky. I understand the game will be streamed on Canucks.com.

Don't underestimate a lunch bucket lineup with something to prove. The Canucks iced less than 1/5th of a team and didn't get their doors blown out by a full Kraken roster.

Will most likely be a Juolevi-Myers pairing tonight...It looks like Juolevi has bulked up a bit more from last year.

That may well be.....but who wants to pay $80 bucks to see a Flames lineup that even the old Abbotsford Heat would have put to shame?

Remember when people on this board defended this guy to the death and claimed he was good? Good times

This happens every pre season..a no name squad beats the legit starters, and everybody loses their shit...I remember a few years back, essentially the Utica Comets beating the Flames top starters.

The families further out in the mainland who don’t have the time or money to go to Canucks games frequently.

Unfortunate that they didn’t price it to to sell out.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

The Abbotsford Canucks vs Calgary Flames

 

[AppleHoneySauce]

More like stockton heat vs abbotsford canucks. Preview of the ahl season.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Betting canucks to lose yesterday was the easiest money of the year not including crypto.
This games not quite as easy money but still going to throw a bunch on Vancouver, should beat that ahl flames roster for sure.

Looks like another roster that is light on veterans (I count about 8 regulars) for tonights game, which is probably the best course of action. Quickly figure out what you're working with from your kids and AHL/tweener types in the first 2 games and then do a mass cut afterwords.

Dipietro/Silovs tonight too.

Short of Woo in for Schenn, this is actually the best blueline they can dress, shockingly. Or best in Green's eyes at least.

 

[Vector]

Wasn't Woo and Rathbone a really effective pairing in the limited games they played last season? Wouldn't be shocked if that is a better pairing than what Rathbone - Schenn could provide.

They were outstanding in their 5 or so games in Utica. But of course that's a totally different level of play.

 

[krutovsdonut]

woo could start the season the way things are going right now.

 

[Deeds26]

I think someone told the Flames that they couldn't play any of the ex-Canucks they have on their roster, hence why half their NHL team isn't playing.

Kraken will have problem scoring goals this season. They aren't going to be blowing the doors off anybody barring Cloutier coming out of retirement & playing for the opposition.

As dumb as Benning is, there will always be at least one GM that'll top him.

That is...insanely depressing. Every time I've gotten kind of optimistic about the team this summer with how nice the top-9 is looking, I always get dragged back down to earth when I remember the D-core, the cost of what we get from our D-core, and the overall team D that we have historically played.

 

[VanCity Millionaires]

Those ticket prices would be $40 if it weren't for the 50% capacity rule. I think we're one of the only jurisdictions in North America with such a rule...

i was one of them that defended the trade.

markstrom probably didn’t like hearing he sighned with the flames.

These are the things that start an NHL career. One guy decides (or has others decide for him) that he no longer can be in the NHL despite expectations, and a kid decides he's going to take that opportunity to grab that spot. Woo is in the perfect position to say "this position is mine". Let's see how it all plays out.

High 1st round picks tend to get alot more slack/rope (Joulevi). It isn't fair but it's just reality that a 2nd round pick like Woo likely won't get that same 'benefit of the doubt'. I do think Woo will eventually 'make it to the big show'.

 

[vanarchy]

Flames line up is pretty gnarly, too. Better be potting some goals with Bo, Miller and Garland in the line up.
