GDT: [GM35] Canucks vs Sharks | Sat. Dec 23rd, 7pm | HNIC/SNP | 'Tis the Season...to be #1

[Vector]

Hronek’s playing the body in this game which is interesting

I’m guessing the pregame scouting report is “they suck, just hit them a bit and let a partner grab the puck”.

AK47 doing work.

And to Sami Salo: I am SO sorry.

 

[calnuck]

omg Hughes that dangle at the blue line was absolutely disgusting lol

 

[LordBacon]

Still amazing we lost to the Sharks earlier lol

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

minor complain here but i wish Quinn stop making the low percent shot from the blueline on the pp

distrubute the puck more to the forwards instead

 

[crazychimp]

Can someone explain why Kuzmenko was benched in the first place?

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Bro was NOT about to let Bedard one up him

 

[PavelBure10]

Glad to get a couple early on Blackwood, he is normally a Canuck killer.

Kuz is going to get another. He's feeling it, I'm feeling it, we're all feeling it.

 

[helloconga]

I hope Kuzy tears things up tonight. Proves his doubters wrongs, and starts a nice streak going into the new year. Such a likable personality that I really want to see Kuzmenko succeed.

called it

 

[Flik]

Get a hat trick Kuzm3nko you coward

 

[canucksfan]

Don Cherry might have a heart attack today. Two Michigan goals in one night!

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I think the difference between the front office before and now, is that when the team scratched Kuz they obviously had a plan with it. They didn't just scratch to punish, they likely have had coaches working with him each game to watch the plays develop

Before when someone was scratched it felt hopeless and they came back having learned nothing from it

Likely a reason Milstein and Kuzmenko made it clear they weren't pissed about the coaching. Vs. with Benning/Green, morale would just tank

That's very much the impression I got. It was never a punishment but Kuz struggling with a style of play he just isn't used to and needing more time to adjust. It's hard to give him that one on one time while how many games we've played. So sitting him a few while we're hot does make sense, especially putting him right back on the top line.

Wonder why Edmonton hasn’t called on Mackenzie Blackwood? Hes a decent goalie

 

[Peen]

Still amazing we lost to the Sharks earlier lol

They had pace in that game. Like we played like shit but they had energy.

They have zero this game. This is a free skate from 18 Beauvilliers wearing white for the first ten minutes

 

[Hyzer]

The Joshua Blueger and Garland line is actually so insane. Just always have possession and push the pace, win every puck battle and are always dangerous. Actually a crazy line

lol Mike ricci

 

[CherryToke]

So.. Tocchet didn't ruin Kuzmenko. Imagine that

Your avatar I like.

Kuz must be on the Cokes and bananas diet.

Pepsi...no Coke....

 

[Mudshark50]

Is Tocchet the Kuzmenko-whisperer?

 

[Nomobo]

The Canuck forwards are unselfish to a fault sometimes.

 

[Kryten]

Have you met hockey players?
