I have no problem with Boeser taking that shot. He's our best shooter and not a great passer. Good chance he messes up the pass.

Very impressive road trip. If Silovs didn't have a rough night in PIT (tho it wasn't all on him) we could easily be looking at 11/12 points.
I'm starting to get excited about this team with the way Pettersson/DeBrusk have taken off. We did not have that extra layer of offense last season when Petey was stuck lugging Mikheyev around. Once JT & Brock are back in action together we could be a very dangerous team.
Going to need to add a top 4D man for sure, but I'm very excited about what this team could be when healthy.

To a degree, I agree. Game management bs (lauded often by the flaks announcing the games and the press) is often a fall back for refs letting a game, such as this one, get out of control. Don't call an obvious penalty going one way, so they let things go the other way. Soon you have no idea what is a penalty and what isn't.
Maybe, not so much trying to keep games tight (although that seems a factor) as simply a total inability to be consistent.
Hit on Sherwood every bit as bad as hit on Norris by Hughes. And there was much more intent in it. Miscall there, I (somehow by both refs) led to non-call on Myers and then to the fiasco in OT.
? He’s an above avg passer and it was a 2-0 he’s not going to mess that up
. I agree though, I’m okay with a 40 goal scorer sniping it

If your conspiracy is money drives everything, you are at least living in reality as far as conspiracies go.
The team is down their best forward; a Vezina-quality goalie; and now their second-best d-man. Yet they go 4-1-1 on the road and keep picking up valuable points.
I see Elliott Friedmann is calling Quinn Hughes for the Hart Trophy. And how can you argue?. He's doing it all for the Canucks right now.
But I worry about him in a game like this......one ugly, head-hunting check from a brutal team like the Wild could compromise his season.

Not going to do the normal game breakdown, need to rant instead.
Hughes got 5 and a game for "boarding" this trip, JEE got an ovation from the fans for something far more malicious & dangerous. No calls in OT despite blatant trips because we have to "let them play" - whether it's by the rules or not, who cares! Couldn't possibly be the refs job to enforce that, and instead we get ticky tacky nonsense called both ways in regulation for fun.
There's a reason this league isn't taken seriously in the US, and it's because the idiots up top refuse to change anything.
How often in basketball do you hear the phrase "oh they're going to get the next foul because they just called 5 the other way." You straight up don't, and while the refs there aren't great, at least the league tries to hold itself accountable with the 2 minute report. Here we get f*** all and get told its just part of the game, it's insane.
Games like today are why I almost stopped watching hockey after 2011, it's just so ridiculous how fans here are gaslighted vs. other sports where changes actually get made when fans get pissed.
Anyways, good on the boys for battling through this road trip, have to be happy with the 4-1-1 record. Hopefully reinforcements are on the way with Miller & Demko soon.

Water which is too pure has no fish
please, we can't sell these farts. They're too precious and we must huff them only for ourselves.
I bet Kelly Sutherland likes to visit his home town of Richmond just to litter and take dumps on the streets
He wanted to be a canuck wasnt good enough in midget been getting even with buttmans help for years f..kn goof

Had a feeling from his fantastic camp he'd be a surprise mainstay. So far, he's assured himself a spot in the lineup. Kid looks like a solid fourth liner with possibly third line potential if other arenas of his game develop.

I'm so glad they went back to DeBursk and Pettersson. While I get why Tocchet experimented, I always thought he moved away from them too quickly. What's even better is the Boeser looks to have chemistry with Petey again. Which does make me wonder what they'll do when Miller comes back. Hard not to go back with our old pairings but I'd almost like to see:
DeBursk - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Miller - Garland
I want to see:
DeBrusk - Petey - Sherwood
Suter - Miller - Boeser
Joshua - Bleuger - Garland
Heinen - Raty - Hoglander
Sasson
That isn't a miss it's a non call on purpose refs get paid to do buttmans bidding or gambling or are dumb as f..k pick one

Fun game despite the shit officiating
I wonder what we did to piss off Minnesota, I haven't seen a team play that hard against us in the regular season in awhile. And I've seen Minny play a bit against other teams too, this wasn't a typical game for them lol. Maybe Sherwood got them going with his shit talking? Pretty random and funny but it made for a fun game.

I agree and have thought this for some time - particularly with Petey heating up. The challenges and injuries could be a blessing in disguise. Along with our upgraded forward depth and a top 4 D acquisition before end of year (fingers crossed)... I won't say the rest - let's just say I'm very optimistic!
1. Wild didn't really play them hard... Canucks outshot and outworked them at evens. Probably only Senators was the least impressive opponent on this trip.
2. Pettersson, Hughes, Boeser, and Miller did crush them in the bubble so you got Ek suffering PTSD-rage and charging people dangerously
What a pick-up by Allvin! Had some doubts about Debrusk early on, but can't remember seeing a Canuck so nifty around the net. He gets a stick on everything. The master of the ugly, garbage goal.
That line with Pettersson between Debrusk and Boeser is a legit first line, and currently one of the better ones in the NHL.

Wild are doing what they always do - get white hot for 30-40 games and fall back into mediocrity. No shade, I need more green jerseys in my life and them not going to round 3 for 20+ years is tragic.
God, I'm good. - Allvin, somewhere, probably.

In the post-game Middleton was the interview and he made a comment about how "if they're going to go after our top guys we're going to come back at them even harder."
So maybe there was some chippy stuff directed at Kap? No clue.
impressive roadtrip. This core is too nasty and it’s getting me excited. We win this game with Miller, Hronek, Demko playing.
Scary part is Pettersson still has 1-2 levels to get too and is playing at a 100+ point place right now.
