Post-Game Talk: GM 60 | Kraken def. Canucks | 6-3 (Suter, Chytil, Joshua) | Pain and Suffering.

He's paid to get the points though, and as you can see... we can't score.

I mean what do you expect him to do when they just traded their PPG+ first-line centre for depth players and their $11.6M franchise forward is producing like a fourth liner over the past 30 games.

Flames lose, again, to a florida team, again, by shutout, again, with a four point swing possible for the Canucks, again, with their matchup against an inferior team, again.

So we all know where this is going, right?

Who are the Flames? I only know the Calgary Dustin Wolfs, and he’s bound to fall off with any sudden change in workload…you’d think.

The kid is phenomenal, though.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

How? Why? Isn't that TG team behaviour?

Keeping leads was something this team was unbelievably good at last season. Teams have since figured out something about Tocchet’s system (the turtling doesn’t work anymore).

We're going to back our asses into a playoff spot because Calgary is, somehow, worst then we are this season, only to get stomped by the Jets? Don't worry then! It'll be worth it when Brock walks for nothing.

I want to put the /s so badly on that last part. Please don't let that happen.

 

[Quinning]

If this is Boeser's last game as a Canuck...godspeed sir.

You were the first light when all seemed dark. That rookie season was unforgettable. The back injury held you back from ever reaching your 50 goal potential.

As an aside, I can't believe this f***ing team failed to do anything while they had Boeser, Horvat, Hughes, Pettersson, Miller and Demko signed to reasonable contracts at the same time.

He's been great for them but it was actually Dan Vladar in net today, who also turned in a strong performance despite the 3GA

Canucks have some erratic performances against Seattle over the past couple of seasons--particularly at Climate Pledge Arena.

The Kraken are basically a 'rush team', like the Ducks. If you get into a track meet with them, you're going to surrender goals. Canucks desperately need another 2-1 or 3-1 boring victory. And they'll be counting heavily on Lankinen again.

Vladars not a half bad backup either, I guess they’ve kind of been platooning. As a starter he’s tragic though.

we all know but it’s still always a shock to see it parsed out:

$19.516666667m for (in order of expensiveness) boeser, horvat, miller, demko, pettersson, hughes

with petey and hughes’ ELC bonuses maybe add another $4m, so ~$23.5m

$23.625m for eriksson, sutter, ferland, pearson, beagle, roussel

as ever, the $13 million fourth line of sutter - beagle - eriksson, in the horrific moments it was together, was probably the worst value line of all time

 

[Bobby9]

I have a feeling that EP will have a good game tonight. Multi point.

 

[Coffee]

Canucks win and my prediction is 3-1

 

[kanucks25]

I have a feeling that EP will have a good game tonight. Multi point.

I've stopped hoping and getting excited for the random flashes he shows.

He'll have to put together a string of like a dozen good games to make me believe he's turning it around.

Until then I just assume he's gonna look exactly like he did vs the Ducks.

 

[valkynax]

Alright, morale booster time

 

[Rick Rocket]

3-1 Kraken

However because it's the Canucks, winning these next handful of games would give ownership the idea we have a chance to win the cup:

4-3 Canucks

Petey and Boes with goals.

I don't know what these things are but they look like the Empire made a hybrid of their tie fighters, walkers and black R2 droids.

Necrons. A xenos race along ago tricked into sacrificing their souls in exchange for immortality in the form of these metallic skeletons. Their goal is to ensure the galaxy is as lifeless as they are.

Pete is not ready yet, I only did the prep work:

He said “Lankanin”

NHL “Shutout Curse” Rule:

“When a person mentions during a game that a goalie will achieve a shutout, it is believed to invoke the “shutout curse,” often resulting in the goalie conceding a goal. However, if the goalie’s name is misspelled when the statement is made, the jinx does not apply, as the curse requires accurate identification of the goaltender”

this isn’t WTG’s first rodeo and surely won’t be his last
