Post-Game Talk: Game #2: Canucks 6, Oilers 2: "The Oilers are playing to win." - Mark Lee

[Ozone]

And some Sedinery...

And Henrik with the beautiful no look pass to Daniel for the goal - and the idiots at CBC did not pick this as the goal of the night.



Here is the Chara goal - nothing all that special IMHO - at least compared to the amazing display of Sedinery on Daniel's goal.

IMO, that Chara goal does not even come remotely close. Nor warrant the 6 times in a row of watching it, like I just did with Daniel's goal.

Just noticed these are up



I missed the game so I was really looking forward to the highlights. Thanks Mak!

That was a fun game to go to. Some Canucks fan started heckling a group of Oilers fans near me and started an "AHL" chant.

Is that terrible pre-game intro up on the interwebs yet? God it was awful.

EDIT: yep it is. We arreee we arreee arreee all canucks.

At least it's not as bad as that "infamous Sens intro" a few years back...

Its pretty close. That at least had a cool concept. Ours was just overproduced garbage.

Yeah it's pretty terrible

I dunno man....it was a bad idea that should've been veteod before it got off the ground (eg., like the old "V" uniforms).

These stanchion lights are another thing I thought was completely dumb.

He's always been a little odd like that. Really seems to like sticking with his plain, vintage ones.

It'd make more sense to me if they lit up green or blue. The red doesn't mesh with our colours.

They can light up in various colours.

Well, I'm pleasantly surprised. Going into this game I thought the score would be the other way around from what it ended up being but the Canucks wouldn't have any of that. They didn't implode after that early bad goal against Luongo. Instead, they competed hard and the most important part? They didn't let up. Not after it was 3-1. Not after it was 4-1. Not after it was 5-1. They hustled all game and that is the kind of thing I'm going to enjoy seeing from this team, win or lose.

Don't want to get too confident here but like I said, final score aside I just like how the team played. Hopefully they take care of Calgary tomorrow in relatively straight forward fashion.

-Daniel's goal was SICK. Not sure how that's not goal of the night
-Like the stanchion lights. Creative.
-I figured the Torts 'blow-up' in the 1st period was that the coach was chirping the players. Something similar happened in 2004 with Hitchcock. I agree with Torts' stance on that.
-I really like Torts as a coach. Not that AV wasn't good, but this is what we need right now.

I dunno...the video was cheesy, but the stanchion lights are kinda cool.

Just watch, every nhl rink will have them in three years!

They're cool as ****.

I liked his Friday the 13th one back in the day. His regular mask from the same season (2006-07) was pretty awesome too.

Agreed, and good post.

 

[canuck4life16]

when Torts was ranting if you look to the right you can see Booth smiling

 

[polarbearcub]

I know it's the oilers, but we have not seen such confident puck movement and tenacity from the canucks since the cup run.

The sedins look rejuvenated and quite frankly incredible.

“I thought 31 shots was enough – poor kid,†Eakins said. “It was like the goalie in Slap Shot. It was craziness there for the poor kid, he’s in there battling and we're giving him no support and I just thought after 31 shots, that's enough.†Eakins is so dramatic.

 

[LiquidSnake]

I think you're about the only guy who cares about that or finds it amusing.

I like those lights.
