Too many bounces going our way. Save some

Would’ve never imagined their best game against a pretty decent team

 

[Symon Asher]

Solid game. Keep it going

 

[Chockey22]

That’s about as good a game as they’ve played this year - that was a very strong win

 

[SI90]

Feels good. Most complete game of the year.
Not bad with our the entire starting Left side of the defense and 2 top 6 forwards out.

 

[Throttle]

4–1-2 with 25 goals for and points in 5 straight games.

That’s a 18-8-4 record without the team’s highest paid player.

 

[scottywiper]

Didn't expect that. What a great performance
They're doing a great job with the players missing.
Hopefully a good sign.
Engvall needs to do that more often.

 

[leeroggy]

Engvall looks like he got the message

 

[chico19341]

That’s the want-to I crave!

 

[Rehabguy]

It was just a matter of time before the team got its mojo back. Roy hockey at its best. Love it! Never doubted these guys. Now go on a winning streak and let’s get back in this thing.

 

[Rehabguy]

I think the team is trusting in Roy now. He knows what he’s doing.

 

[Chockey22]

Was also watching for Raty to see if we gave up much in the Horvat trade; while there’s still time for him to develop, he really does not seem like a top 6 player, maybe not even top 9

 

[scottywiper]

The first line is more than holding its own. They've been awesome.
Best Pager and Lee have played for ages. And they are all keeping it simple.
When Barzal and Duclair come back be interesting to see what happens.
The second line has also been good.

 

[Rehabguy]

It’s a beautiful thing watching Roy instill a winning mindset on this team. They had their growing pains but it’s wonderful to watch our players returning to their true selves. Believing in their abilities. Playing like athletes again. Playing to win. Very little turtling now in the third period. Remember those days? This is good.

Not a coincidence…

It’ll be a crime if Roy breaks up that first line when Barzal comes back. Put him on line three, and on PP1, which does nothing anyway, with or without him

The team is playing more north south with Horvat driving the first line. Our top six is playing a heavier game with Lee, Palmieri and Tsyplakov looking really strong and JG looking pretty sandy as well. No complaints about the 3rd line either,

A lot of parallels between Dobson and Tyler Myers.

The trade Barzal/Dobson brigade should be looking at the dumpster fire in Boston. Wouldn't mind seeing McAvoy here.

 

[Arsenalogist24]

Only watched the first period. Despite the quick first Vancouver goal (and a first career 1 at that, of course) I thought we were the better team by a long way

Waking up to a 5-2 win, wow good job. 3/4 against the 2 hardest opponents on this trip pleasantly surprised

Welcome to the 2024-25 season Pierre Engvall

 

[BrockLobster]

Always a pleasant surprise seeing a win on the west coast when i wake up
