Post-Game Talk: GAME #9 - Canucks 3 @ Oilers 2 - Mancrush on Chris Manev

[thepuckmonster]

I love when Taylor Hall and Co fail.

Just love it.

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

I love that Hall penalty shot play. Luongo looked at him right after he shot it with a look like, "What the hell was that!?"

 

[PG Canuck]

Tanev <3

Kid can do no wrong.

That's when you know Lu has beast mode fully engaged.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Yeah it's not hard to have great numbers when you have ****** scoring chances sprayed at you.

 

[Auger]

Honest question, who do you think has worse hockey sense, Phaneuf or Hall? I've heard rumors that Hall is a moron off the ice, but wow for a player who's supposed to be good, he isn't very smart.

 

[Scottrockztheworld*]

Amazing.

bwhahahah


So pumped for Tanev, you can see the guys really like him.


Awful game besides that. Luongo saved our bacon yet again.
Besides the OT set up I thought the Sedins were lackluster.... yet again. Keep Burr there.
Haven't been a fan of Hansen this season, would prefer Kassian with 21 & 45


What a boring game that we deserved to win.

 

[me2]

Canucks played like garbage, game was terrible to watch... Tanev scored OT winner? All is forgiven!

Around here you are only as good as your last game. We'll last 1 min anyway. If you ain't panicking you aren't trying hard enough.

Honestly though this is the same team we saw take out the PT last year. Lots of ugly grinding wins on the back of goaltending. I hope Gillis gets us a boost this year, somehow.

 

[Free Edler]

I love when Taylor Hall and Co fail.

Just love it.

You and me both. He looks like Bieber and plays hockey like him too.

 

[PG Canuck]

I saw that too. You know Luongo's in a groove when....

Iv'e said before that Hall is a marginally smarter, more skilled Booth. Still a long way to go for the kid but he really doesn't have good vision.

 

[Respect Your Edler]

This feels like the first year of Luongo all over again. Low scoring hockey where we somehow manage to win a ton of one goal games.

 

[luongo321]

You and me both. He looks like Bieber and plays hockey like him too.

omg, i thought i was the only one that thought he looks like bieber.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Just me or does Hall not look elite? I always figured him for a 60-70ish point guy.

 

[JerkChicken]

So... what does that bring Tanev's shooting percentage to?

Lets do some quick math:

1 career shot + 1 career goal = ???????

 

[thepuckmonster]

Keeping the Kid Line off the sheet is such sweet victory.

 

[me2]

Wow - perfect ending.

Hamhuis in the last minute of regulation would have been perfect. At least Oilers move 1 point further away from another #1 pick (lottery balls notwithstanding).

 

[valkynax]

only thing left, wait for Mak's vid, watch it, thank him, and that'll be it.

 

[John Bender*]

I thought the Canucks played OK, but their PP is horrendous. They desparately need a PP QB - Edler is not the guy. Hamhuis is not PP type player. Garrison is a second pairing at best.

Just a thought, but what about Visnovsky? He's got a bad cap hit, but would the Isles take Ballard and a prospect for him? He's contract runs out this year and he has good offensive upside.

I don't know - they need someone - someone who can get a shot through traffic and hit the net.

 

[PG Canuck]

Keeping the Kid Line off the sheet is such sweet victory.

But they're the next dynasty!

 

[Astoria]

Haha, classic Kesler bomb during the interviews

Damn! I wish Centre Ice would show post-game interviews. Do you know if there is a link?

 

[John Bender*]

This feels like the first year of Luongo all over again. Low scoring hockey where we somehow manage to win a ton of one goal games.

I agree, and that's not going to be successful long term. The team really needs some offense.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

I agree, and that's not going to be successful long term. The team really needs some offense.

Good thing is Kesler and Booth will be back in a matter of weeks. The canucks did not have 2 top-six players waiting in the wings in 2006.

 

[PG Canuck]

I agree, and that's not going to be successful long term. The team really needs some offense.

Kesler, Booth and any return from a goalie trade.

 

[Nuckles]

LOL, AV said it was an exciting game. What game was he watching?
