Post-Game Talk: [GM78] Canucks defeat Golden Knights | 4-3 (Garland(2), Hughes, & Boeser) | All the Milestones

[Bleach Clean]

That was their best win of the year. Lost the High Danger battle, but got enough conversion to go up and hold it there. With the way they were trending, they needed this one badly.

What a call to start Silovs instead of DeSmith. Even with the early jitters, he steadied the team.

Can't find it but in one of the Monday Mailbags on Canucks.com Podkolzin said he calls Miller "Dad" then shouted "Dad!" across the room and got an immediate "SON!" in response.

He's a respectable dad too - it's not like those Eriksson-style dads that are just old and you're already better than - Millerdad can still take over a game when he wants to but he's sometimes grumpy and tired from working all day and just wants to chill on the couch.

For some reason, it felt like a win, we will actually win this game. Vegas is a paper tiger, this is a completely winnable game.

What did i tell ya? huh! we have defeated the paper tiger like i told you

Shorthouse will have a few of those shirts with all the 4 20 references on it

Mikheyev looked really good tonight - I wonder when Lindholm comes back if we can roll a shutdown 3rd line

Hoglander - Pettersson - Boeser
Joshua - Miller - Garland
Mikheyev - Lindholm - Lafferty
Suter - Bleuger - Podkolzin/Aman

Does anyone else find Nathan on the post game show annoying and cringe or am I just out of touch?

I find that with anyone named Nathan.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I'm ready to call this the most important win of the season.

Love the way we played tonight, Vegas is a big team but I thought we one-upped them on physical plays. Nice to see the PP coming back to life, Petterson and Garland are the last 2 players I expected to play net front but it's working so far.

Good win, hope it's the start of a good roll.

Also happy for Boeser hitting 40.

 

[Jyrki]

I see a lot of love for Silovs and I agree he had good moments this game, but every goal he let in could've been stopped with a bit better goaltending. Which is good for his future potential but I'd temper expectations if he ends up getting starts over DeSmith.

I’m not a merchandise guy - I think a Canucks beer glass is the only thing I have in our house - but that’s the best shirt I’ve seen since the Utica Comets Colton Saucerman ‘Get Sauced’ shirt that I still regret not buying.

The Utica Comets are coming out with sweet Colton Saucerman shirts, and we need one - Article - BARDOWN

I think about this shirt every few months.

Pod and Lindholm had something going, would try that again.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

That game was electric for me. PP came to life, we took it to them all over at ES, killed off some more of the usual weak sauce BS calls the refs have been giving us, and hit a ton of milestone markers tonight to boot. Feels so good.

And those Garland shirts should absolutely be for sale. Would 100% buy one of those over those “Clinched” t-shirts.

Mik has "little things" vibe all over him... he gets to the right places and does the right thing so often, but when he tries to shoot the puck he does it from a sharp angle with like a 5% chance to even create a good rebound, let alone go in.

 

[VanillaCoke]

gotta start silovs next game for sure

 

[Josepho]

id probably still start him next game but silovs still let in 2 dogshit goals this game and we definitely have to hunt for a veteran backup this offseason

 

[Flik]

Tocchet sounds awful in the post game presser, I wonder if the team is battling some kind of flu bug or something.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I feel a win coming here. I think the Canucks will have some motivation to come out hard after how the last game against Vegas went, but also how the game against LA went.

Actually thought our PP looked dangerous against LA and generated some quality chances - Talbot had a strong game for LA. If our PP can keep generating chances like that, we’ll break through. Hope to see more of that in this game.

Nice that one of my good feelings was right for a change!

So good that the PP finally came to life.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

I hope everyone who wanted to cap dump him feels silly. He’s a gamer and always has been.

At one point, it was between he and Beauvillier.

He sounds normal to me...?

One thing I noticed was that the powerplay completely moved away from forcing a bumper pass and shot. There wasn’t even a player in the bumper for more than like 5 seconds. It seemed like it caught Vegas a bit who very likely prescouted our PP. We sent Petey to the net and Garland to the net and it created 2 goals for.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also, gotta give Silovs his flowers. Could have been a long night after 2 goals on 2 shots (and the first wasn’t pretty), but he settled in and did a really nice job after that. For him to come up and give us 3 wins - including one against Vegas - is huge.

Hope he’s ready to push for the backup spot next fall.

Garland going from potentially getting traded / welcoming a trade, to the arena chanting his name 4 games before the playoffs. I’m not crying you’re crying

This was amazing.

Garland played balls out from the beginning of the season even though there was a lot of weird vibes and trade innuendo surrounding him.

Add to that being a center piece of "the trade that shall not be mentioned" you can't not be impressed by his focus and professionalism.

Maybe he wanted out of Van, maybe Van wanted him to be gone but that is all in the past.

Legends are born in Vancouver not because they win, but because they FIGHT. (plus, if you want a career in radio/television, this market will support you) ((Not you Kesler or Messier!! You die in a fire))

Fight for this team, bleed for this team, show that you believe in this team and you are a hero forever.
