Post-Game Talk: On the back of a Chris Tanev OT goal, Vancouver defeats Minnesota in the play-in

[Hoghandler]

This Canucks team showed tons of guts and character to win when they were behind by 2 goals at one point. Props to the Canucks!

Absolutely.

Lost game 1, then battled back and were the better team in 3 straight games. Down 3-1 today and would not be denied.

So often Canuck teams find a way to lose. Hopefully this core is all about resiliency.

This one is for Botch!

 

[Grub]

God DAMN that feels good. Now I can just sit back and enjoy these last few round robin games until the real playoffs start.

Actually there's only one meaningful game left.... The Leafs and Columbus. Everyone else playing the elimination games are done.

This team has done well vs Dallas and St Louis in the post-season the last 26 years no?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Anyone else absolutely Love than Manny is all around this?

 

[Zombotron]

This team has done well vs Dallas and St Louis in the post-season the last 26 years no?

2-for-2 vs. Dallas (1994, 2007) and 3-for-3 vs. St. Louis (1995, 2003, 2009)

Nice work fellas...bring on the 7 game series. I love this group

So happy for Tanev. Just an absolute warrior.

So great to see Horvat get a big goal and our top line was deadly and is figuring things out as we go. Hughes is an absolute treat to watch 27minutes and skated miles.

Have to get this off my chest. Tanner Pearson Brandon Sutter Jay Beagle Tyler Motte have been absolute money and deserve huge kudos after all the trash so many on this forum have spewed towards them. Even Myers after a couple rough starts to game 2 and tonight has been really good and elevated his game when needed.

side notes

Liked the look of Olli Juolevi and Zack MacEwen tonight. Have to like the possibilities they add going forward

Woah Woah Woah.

I understand the euphoria after a big win, and while your stance on the players mentioned is arguable, there's no way on getting full agreement on your Myers take. He was bad on balance, and a penalty machine. I hope Green really talks to this player because he needs to get his head on straight before the next series.

Best 11 seconds of the past year.

Almost as long as conceiving my first kid.

You dirty, filthy, Nucks fan, you!

 

[Flik]

Cale Makar who? Quinn Hughes is the only D-men currently in the top 10 in scoring for these playoffs...

What a star player, I can't believe we have this kid.

When you see it on a list like this, it just emphasizes even MORE how excellent, exceptional, extraordinary Hughes is!!! Like the OP said, the ONLY defenseman! Holy smokes!!!

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Holy smokes!!! I’ve posted before on HF Vancouver boards that your scouts are doing a heckuva job!

Well Judd was and now he's on the Wild

 

[Hoghandler]

Myers game-play was pretty good in this series. His lack of discipline was horrendous.

The guy needs to shave the goatee. It’s gone to his head. He thinks he’s a tough guy now. Green better make him go clean shaven for game 1.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

2-for-2 vs. Dallas (1994, 2007) and 3-for-3 vs. St. Louis (1995, 2003, 2009)

Good memories
Bure murdering Churla
Linden GWG vs Dallas Game 7
Coming back 3-1 down to beat the Blues
Sweeping the Blues and Burrows goal celly tribute to Bourdon.

Just enjoy the Win, my fellow Nuckian...

If only for a minute.

Lol Blake Price not taking any s*** tonight hanging up on a caller who called the wrong radio station XD.

 

[Wayward Son]

i’m so happy for the kids

 

[Canucks LB]

It’s been a long time brother, a very long time.

It's just one damn round, but it feels so damn good

 

[ziploc]

Sutter was especially good tonight. Credit where it’s due.

Even from the Canucks/Manitoba Moose days, we got lots of love for you guys and you’re always welcome

I know it’s not even the playoffs yet but that felt so much like 2011 again. God playoff series wins are like no other.

 

[Ozone]

I'm very amused that Edmonton now has to sit on the sidelines and watch Calgary play on their home turf

I dunno..
I always cheer for all Canadian teams in the playoffs - now, that a city is doing great work hosting us, I was cheering for the Oilers for the first time..

 

[Hoghandler]

Juolevi hardly played, but he looked confident when out the. Love how he looks the opposition off, then finds the open man. Wouldn’t be in a hurry to pull him out in favour of Benn.

The guy needs to shave the goatee. It’s gone to his head. He thinks he’s a tough guy now. Green better make him go clean shaven for game 1.

His game play wasn't pretty good. He floated and missed assignments on a consistent basis. Do you recall how Virtanen had to back check to cover for his misread? That was just a more noticeable play.
