This is what happens when you replace Eriksson for Toffoli

Petey is going to will his way to a cup in his career. Man this guy is so good we are so lucky to have him

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Feels good. 11 more wins to the cup?

 

[SillyRabbit]

Toffoli makes such a huge difference for us. Finally gives us two balanced scoring lines. This is what Eriksson and his 6 million per season was supposed to be giving us.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

When is Myers back?

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Proud of the boys for this one..Vegas is a pretty douchey team imo...

I'm sure that game got everybody's attention in the Vegas bench...

 

[TruKnyte]

I’ve given up trying to predict what this team will do. Just keep winning please.

 

[Bourdon]

Little squirt just came all over the Knights tonight.

 

[Fire Benning]

That was all Pettersson and Markstrom

 

[Svencouver]

Talk about possession, talk about shot attempts, talk about shots on goal. Sure, the Knights are the better team. Just like the Blues were, and maybe even the Wild were. But these Canucks don't care. They will block 50 shots a night if they have to. The Knights can throw them into the boards, run our stars behind the play, taunt and tease from the bench, but just like against St. Louis, our boys just get up, dust themselves off, have a laugh on the bench, and put a puck in the net on the next shift.

This Canucks team has an unbelievable amount of heart. I never thought I'd be seeing this sort of resilience from a team that took their foot of the gas, crumpled, and gave up leads all year long until now. Lose two in a row and think we're done? Gut out the next two. Down 3-1 in a pivotal game 5? Means nothing to these guys. This team is fighting for each other and they will win by any means necessary. Get your ugly goals, ride your goalie, take advantage of the man advantage. All that matters at the end of 60 minutes is who put more pucks in the net, and these guys just keep finding ways to be the ones who do so against all odds.

First regulation win against Vegas in franchise history down. 3 to go.

They usually respond well after getting smoked...

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

YEEEEAAAA BABAAAAAY!!!!

 

[perrykaravello]

Thank goodness!
Played great in the 1st period, dull and lazy in the 2nd, and was solid to bring home the victory.
Can we shitkick the moron(s) who made that delay of game call? What an dolt.

 

[rypper]

Ryan Reaves: 8:36 of ice time tonight.

Scoring early and often makes him largely ineffective. He can talk all he wants, all night long, we'll take the goals.

Tsn's box score shows Theodore playing 39 min lol. That can't be right.

 

[Flik]

f***ers. Talking shit.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Does anyone hear clucking?

 

[Bgav]

That was all Pettersson and Markstrom

Plus Toffoli & Bo

Yeah, that's an underrated take away. Taken wayyyyyyy too long.

The game threw Whitecloud in the bench!

 

[Ozone]

Canucks!
What a comeback game.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Vegas still played pretty well. Gonna be a long series, but I loved this game.

 

[Phil Brooks]

Everyone except Boeser and Gaudette blocked at least 1 shot tonight.

 

[Spectrefire]

You know what? I didn't think I'd say this after game 5, but with the team coming back the way it did in game 2, I think we might actually have a shot here.

The Canucks current run reminds me of the Habs in 2010 or the Senators in 2017. A team, that no one really expected to be in the mix of it, ending up making a deep run.

Hell, one of the closest the Canucks had been to the cup, was from a team that no one believed in, and who willed their win to the finals on the back of an unbelievable goaltending performance.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Man man man

I didn’t end up disliking any players from Minny or St Louis, but I can foresee myself finding some enemies on Vegas, but the reason for that is there are guys that will do anything to win, THIS IS THE TEST and we are passing it, that was a dominate game, not just one the scoreboard but in a lot of areas, THIS TEAM IS FOR REAL

Toffoli all day every day and twice on weekends baby

 

[Ginger Papa]
