Post-Game Talk: GM 12 | Canucks def. Kings | 4-2 (Miller, Hughes, DeBrusk, Garland) | Eff LA | Prayers up for Boeser

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

that was honestly a complete effort game

 

[Flik]

All smiles

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

f*** the Kings and the refs.
Buttmans f***buddies whistle up their bums/.
Lazy f***

Garys boys in stripes

 

[Jyrki]

Hell of an effort, normally good things don't happen at the Staples Center and the team fought off whatever came their way. Hope Boeser is fine and that Jeannot doesn't get to cheapshot another player for the next while (who am I kidding though with this DoPS?)

 

[DFAC]

Solid win. Probably their best game of the season.

My favourite play of the night - Hughes taking matters into his own hands and going after Clarke after the late shot. Love the chirping in the box too. That’s my captain

 

[EpochLink]

Lankinen would be in the running for Vezina at this rate.

2.05 GAA and a .923sv% to lead the entire league.

he's been a rock solid goalie for us, once Demko gets back he will be for sure the back up.

Silovs can work on his shit in the AHL.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

54.5% corsi-for, 71.9% xG-for, what a shitkicking.

 

[EpochLink]

Quinn Hughes tonight:

 

[krutovsdonut]

solid game. since the san jose game they have been real good. lots of good indicators.

 

[dez]

Best 60 minute effort of the year, hope Boes is ok, concussions are scary, could be days or weeks or months.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Looking at the numbers and what I saw the Canucks really gave up nothing 5 on 5 tonight.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Beat a good team while controlling most of the play. They sat on the one-goal lead for the last six minutes after the kings scored but overall this was an impressive outing. Can’t think of anyone who really had a bad game.

 

[Ozone]

What a SWEEP!

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Great to see Hughes punch Clarke towards the end when he was getting facewashed. Well worth the trip to the box. Can't be letting 20 year old little shits take liberties with you when you're the Captain.

I bet Miller was fired up by seeing that.

 

[NailsHoglander]

The Kings put in a solid effort but they have no talent. Nice try

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

That was a really hard fought game. Felt like the playoffs.

 

[Flik]

Team is slowly coming together and gelling, we need to get the PP on track, but we're starting to show signs of being a really, really good f***ing team again

 

[thecupismine]

Only caught the third, and from the LA perspective as I’m in the US for a little bit. Kings commentators raved at the Canucks speed, togetherness, 50/50 battle win rate, and how they took all the time and space away from the Kings. Said they were doing what the Kings had been doing lately, but just better. All that matched the eye test in the limited game time I did watch.

Saw the replay of the Boeser hit. League is full of cowards, that’s the kind of nonsense that makes me never want to put my future kids in hockey. Department of player safety is a joke so it’ll barely get any games, because that’s how out of touch this league is.

I’ll let others do the full breakdown, but Petey looked a lot faster today in the limited time? Corresponded with him being on the ice with Hughes, so not a huge surprise that he’d look better in those minutes.

Oilers game is going to be a lot harder than this if Boeser is out. Sending my prayers his way tonight.

 

[Zombotron]

i could get used to a Team Like That

 

[Huggy43]

Hope Boeser is ok

 

[EpochLink]

Now this is the effort we've been expecting, full 60 minute effort.
Great game tonight, onto Saturday.
Hope Boeser is alright, speedy recovery my dude.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Garland with the classy response not to shit on the the Ducks and Sharks. "All good teams in the NHL".

 

[Canuckle1970]

This was a tough win, especially without Boeser. This Kings team is definitely a playoff challenger for us down the road.

 

[moiderer]

Really impressive win vs a good team. After going down 0-1 and losing Boeser we didn't give up anything catastrophic at 5v5. Needed some work and help by Lankinen on the PK, but it felt like the refs were giving it to us by taking Hughes and Hronek multiple times too.

Life signs from Petey with some really intense shifts. Needs to start stacking them up and taking the puck up ice like a true C but good baby steps.

Myers had a really strong game which helped Soucy (feels like an alternate timeline?) and really stabilized the D. VD looked like ass on the 0-1 goal but righted the ship next the Brannstrom - not the first time this happened this season.

Jake DeBrusk figuring it out has allowed us to cash in on the minutes we spend stacking Miller-Hughes. Also the Blueger line plays like a glove together, which gives Joshua a green light to eventually try to slide into the top 6.

If we miss Boeser for more games, I don't see how they don't call up Lekkerimaki to try to fill a top 6 hole.

 

[SillyRabbit]

lol the person who called out that Garland really wanted Miller to pass it to him for the ENG was right
