Quite frankly, I couldn't care less if a team decides to "rest their starters" so to speak in garbage time like they do in Basketball. It just never happens because you dont get Basketball margins in Hockey. Unless you're playing the Oilers.Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, in the sense that i'm sure he had no realistic way of fully knowing what the situation was with Demko and the flu. Probably not an immediate priority after that kind of shellacking and being forced to go out in front of the media to answer for it.
But still pretty hilarious. "Wahhh they put in a backup during a blowout game".
It should've been pretty evident that there was some sort of extenuating circumstances to that weird move. Even if McDavey was too much of a wuss to actually get close enough to the net to realize Demko was heaving in his mask.
23 year old captain speaking like he’s 33. When has Horvat ever shown this much leadership and accountability
according to this site Vancouver Canucks @ NHL - Single Game Records
it's Daniel with 4 against Detroit in 03-04, then Naslund against Pittsburgh in the same season, and then Naslund again in 02-03 against Edmonton.
Not sure of this kind of win can be sustained but Oilers can eat shit.

I was on a team that lost 20-0 once. You don't want to be embarrassed? Be better.

Quinn Hughes showing why he was made Captain. He communicates so well, and spread the credit around to the rest of the team and the coaches.

Shit happens in sports ... like 8-1 blowouts.
Enjoy it. Be critical later when it's warranted. You can second guess anyone when you only know 12% of the details. You still look uneducated in the end.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Got embarrassed 10-1 against U of Vic one day. Ugly .. I hated myself.
All summer I had the PDG-Miller-Boeser line mocked up in my roster estimations. Got a lot of push-back on having PDG that high in the line-up. Had a great camp and looks to be the workhorse of that line. If he can keep this up, I think he can have a 20-20-40 season; almost entirely at even strength too.
If he manages that, he’d be one of the most valuable non-ELC contracts in the NHL.

I can see why it works. Also I have no idea why PDG got so few games with us. He's a new age Raffi Torres in the making IMO, less the big hits, but similar in physicality aspect and about the same scoring potential.
I must admit I mocked that at some point in my mind, but was too coward to actually put it out there because I thought it would only be a 10-15 game injury pinch thing. What he's done in every game this preseason has exceeded my expectations.

Weird time to be a Canucks fan 2024
While a fun game I am far more interested in the upcoming road trip. If they can stay .500 on it I will be happy enough.

Oh, I had another thought someone mentioned earlier about Drai/Petey and accuracy over power on one-timers. This is just the way I see it, but on his goal tonight, watch: where Drai's 'spot' is, his forearms, hips, and toes. Spot's a dead giveaway. Toes are pointed towards the goal, as Petey's are, but my point is angles. The goal line is the 0-point, Drai's shooting from a supplemental angle of I'd say 10-15 degrees. Petey's is the less drastic maybe 45. The way each are going to typically receive a pass into their spot will be different. Petey's will be low-to-high, Drai's is high-to-low. Think of a goalie tracking. Much easier for the goalie to track moving off the post, facing forward rather than if they are cheating forward hard for shot or just pushed off too hard but Drai has less area to hit. So both need two different types of speed: velocity and acceleration (rather, heavy vs quick).
This is where it gets interesting, the hips. Petey needs to turn his hips slightly to get more power into his shot, I say slightly because if he turns too much, his shot may permanently blind someone...that thing is going crazy wide. Drai gets an advantage here, because as he turns his hips to generate power, he will also be slightly improving his angle. When he moves to hit, the puck will move with his forearms to aim with power.
But why is Petey's shot just as hard? A) It has to be, he's basically fastballing the puck past the goalie. B) He's straining. He has too use so much more of his shoulders, triceps, dorsals? (the under the arms one) to achieve the power on his shot as well as his great additional shooting mechanics to boot. I have no idea how he does this (strains that much, but still has beautiful mechanics), he's just Petey. Also just look at Leon's forearms, that dude could probably crush a grapefruit with his bare hands, the man's an animal.
Also I'm incredibly baked right now so YMMV.

I love how Petey is more physical but doesnt he leave his feet on that Ceci hit?

Dunno if this team has tainted my soul. I thoroughly enjoyed the game (and reading the EDM forums that I had open on a different screen XD), but the moment it ended I thought "they are going to blow us out on Saturday". If we keep Saturdays game tight with a similar defensive effort I will be very impressed.
Yea.. he certainly lunged into that. It is exciting learning you can lay some hits, but gotta pick the battles. It does no good to take both yourself and opponent out of the play, and very few guys can consistently hit without injuring themselves.
I didn’t realize DeSmith was only 6’. He looked really small in net. He looked smaller than what I remember Halak to be for some reason.

According to the main forums that was yesterday !Remember a couple months ago when he had one of the worst contracts in the league and was a locker room cancer?

Very Nice, Very Evil!
That was so much fun to watch
You think 1 game should change this? Seriously?

Wow. He does.
Not sure how I feel about that one. I really hope it was a one off and we don’t see Pettersson start to take cheap shots at players.
He just needs to continue to play his game
