Post-Game Talk: GM 20 | Canucks def. Bruins | 2-0 (DeBrusk, Garland) | You shall not pass! - Lankinen, probably

[JT Milker]

The Bruins long, inevitable decline and rebuild while saddled with several immovable contracts will make me smile on my death bed.

Won a cup doesn’t matter

They only got one undeserved Cup out of that entire era of dominance.

is it weird i didn't think the canucks were losing this? sometime in the last 10 minutes i realized the Bruins were toothless and the Canucks were working too hard for them defensively.

Boston was playing that like a do or die game. Superb goaltending got the win, but what I really liked to see is how hard the Canucks pushed back in the last 5 minutes of the game. Winning races to the puck and checking really hard, making it very difficult for Boston to mount some offence. So I'll call it a good road win.

 

[ChilliBilly]

That win was better than sex.

then u are doing sex wrong ....

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Petey isn’t the only guy having fun, I loved that game
Really worried about Pittsburg we blocked a lot of shots

 

[Canucks LB]

Lankinen had a great start to the season, a little shaky, couple games and boom back at it being a stud.

Gotta love it

Brooins GDT is 34 pages of rage

If I were them I'd be pretty happy about the effort, you play this game 10 times and you probably win 9 of them.

They likely are not enamoured with the team's overall skill level / lack of finish, though.

no one is left from that team bar on lol. dash Marchand's brains against the boards and call it a day.

I was pretty much suffering from a heart attack since the start of the third period.

What a dominant win!
Was never in doubt.

Now 1 point in 8 games for Elias Lindholm. Gross.

Hoglander numbers.

 

[Quinning]

Pettersson seems in a weirdly good mood.

 

[Nuckles]

Hoglander numbers.

Speaking of which

 

[Canucks LB]

Man, it feels so f***ing good beating the Boston Bruins.

And it feels even better beating them in their own building with the fans, booing them off the ice

There’s obviously something to it, but I don’t have the balls to just say it lol

Jesus.

It took a couple months before Lindholm started playing well here in Vancouver.

I had the same feeling, mainly based on the goalie. When a goalie is dialled in like that they're obviously hard to beat but it compounds because the opposition knows it'll be near impossible to get one by.

 

[VanJack]

Sometimes you just thank the Hockey Gods and your goaltender--not necessarily in that order--and move on.

One of the first game this year where I thought the Canucks struggled with the Bruins size and strength. It's something Allvin will have to think about addressing at the TDL.

So it's on to Pittsburgh and Sid tomorrow night. Hopefully Silovs can follow Lankinen's lead.

 

[ziploc]

Well...

DeBrusk and Sherwood should be EPs wingers permanently. They are all elevated together and it seems EP is having fun with those 2.

True. Still have issues with the 1a line though, even when Miller is back. I guess Suter continues to ride shotgun there, leaving Joshua, Blueger and Garland for a great third line, and some combo of Raty, Heinen, Hoglander (while still here), Aman etc... for the 4th.
