Post-Game Talk: GM14 | Canucks defeat Flames | 3-1 | Pettersson, Suter, & Brannstrom | How Swede It Is!

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Really clean game by Lekkerimaki. Besides some minor adjustments it's clear he reads the game at an NHL level and pace, which is great considering our dirth of effective recent first rounders beyond EP, Quinn and Brock. Only one game but if he maintains consistency he'll definitely stick around.

Nice to have a Norris level defenceman and a Brannchise defenceman on the same team tonight.

If anyone had a bad game it's probably Hoglander whose presence is fading in Tocchet's eyes for both 5v5 and PP (behind Sherwood and Bains).

Also Petey's back.

Hoglander is trade bait as soon as they can bring In another defenceman.

I was wondering why they looked so much better.

Noah Juulsen should never play another game for this team. I would rather call up Jett Woo than dress Juulsen again. He makes the entire team worse.

Juulsen makes us look so bad, he’s literally just there to be the BC boy just cause.

Seems like last two games I was painting my warhammer stuff, we win.

 

[logan5]

Small sample size, but I am confident that Lekk will not get sent down again. He looks way better than Bains, Raty, Hoglander

OT, but this drinking in LA remix is such a 90s vibe

Send him to Edmonton.

I wonder if Mcguire lasts the season in Calgary. Not playing well after that hot start.

Does not seem like a coaching issue. Their roster is just not good, you can only do so much.

They have no #1 or #2 forward and only have 2 real D-men.

And congrats to Brannstrom for his first as a Canuck. Guy has been such a fantastic addition to this team. We got him for the corpse of Tucker Poolman.

I love, love, love those specific reclamation projects where the guy comes in with very little fanfare or as an afterthought, and ends up becoming a valuable contributor. It absolutely tugs at my heartstrings, and it's why three of my favorite Canucks all-time are Cliff Ronning, Martin Gélinas and Markus Näslund. So I've been rooting for Brännström from day one just for the story.

Canucks were rather fortunate to catch a dog-tired Calgary team, who had a strong first period but really cratered early in the second.

This Canuck blueline is an adventure. Their panic threshold is just so low. Too many times they just seem to panic and throw the puck up the wall. And so many times the puck is at their own blueline but just doesn't get out.

Tocchet will take the win......but won't be happy with some of his guys tonight.

On the positive side of the ledger Brannstrom is continue to improve almost every time out. Don't know what it is though, maybe it's the addition of guys like Lekkerimaki and Brannstrom, but this team looks so small at at times.

Still think they'll be looking for some additional size up front at the TDL.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

It seems like Quinn Hughes is atarting to rub off on Brannstrom a little bit.

Hog with 9 mins …

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

i really like blake coleman as a player (kind of a dink though), exactly the kind of utility forward i wish we could have added heading into that disastrous second boudreau year

but man, at his exact cap hit we have all three of blueger, suter, and sherwood

i mean

Joshua will be back next game

Hoglander out there doing cardio, guy needs to f***ing get with the program.

Also, Juulsen - Juulsen + shit =

Hogs will be gone by TDL.
Which is unfortunate because I love the player

I think Hoggy could really blosson somewhere/anywhere else given the opportunity.

Here's hoping the Baldersons do him a solid and get him out of here. Ricky no like, no how.

Nice heavy intercessors. I paint Space Wolves.

Someone side "it looks like Pettersson flipped a switch," and I gotta ask if you're blind. Say what you will but he has been working his ass off trying to get out of the funk. Was a steady improvement from season's start until now.

Jyrki Lumme (one of the best ever Canucks trades). You've heard of him, right?

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Lekkerimaki's got high end IQ & ice water running through his veins.

Gets himself in good positions offensively, competes along the walls, aware defensively & doesn't cheat in his defensive effort.

Very encouraging debut. Excited to see more.

It's been a combination of bad luck, new contract shock, and eroded confidence for Pete. Glad to see him turning observable progress into tangible results.

These heavies...I didn't realize until I started working on them that some of their shoulder pads are built backwards haha (bought them 2nd hand already built to practice my skills)....not THAT big a deal, since I don't play the game and I still have another brand new box of heavies.

The Baldersons lmfao

 

[Canuckle1970]

We had to win this one. And we need to win these next 3 at home. The one against the Rangers next week is iffy. They give us problems in our rink, but we can return the favour like last year in Madison Square.

We're doing okay, considering there's been no Demko, no Joshua, and now no Brockstar. Can't wait till they're all back.

Easy.

There could be kids reading these boards.

 

[potatowejj]

Oh yeah f*** Tanner Jeannot one more time for good measure. Solid W.
