Post-Game Talk: WCSF GAME #2: Canucks 5, Knights 2 (Series tied 1 - 1)

[ErrantShepherd]

Tyler Toffoli has damn good entrances!
Finally got to see Toffoli and Pearson put together too! Looks like that worked out.

I kinda liked the end game empty net line of Pearson-Horvat-Miller though...

Would a Toffoli-Petey-Boeser line work as well? Could be some serious offense.

 

[PavelBure10]

Wohoo, 1-1 series tied.

This is a new series now, and I believe game 1 was due to exhaustion from just beating the defending champs. Should be much tighter games from now on.
The Canucks were awesome tonight. They were tight on the forecheck tonight, and closed the lanes for Marky. When the big save was needed, Markstrom came out strong.

Welcome back Toffoli!!!

Datsyuk," I mean Pettersson was unbelievable.

So happy right now, Go Canucks!

 

[Bankerguy]

Eriksson out, Toffoli in

WOW ..doesnt take a genius to know that would be a good thing!

 

[BiggBird]

Petey super impressive tonight, guy is a gamer for sure. Bo leading by example with his 200 Ft game, the canucks having the advantage on the face offs is huge. Exciting times to be a Canucks fan, they are playing with house money right now.

 

[M2Beezy]

Announcer guys going off on Horvats great game. Really was. His faceoffs are INCREDIBLE

Man I love this player

 

[supercanuck]

Hopefully Green can readjust the game plan some more for Game 3. This Vegas team will give up odd man rushes and chances as they are always pushing. Need to exploit that weakness.

Had to work tonight so I was catching the game on PVR delay so I couldn't partake in the GDT but man what a great feeling after Sunday. Markstrom isn't human. This is exactly what Kirk McLean did for us in '94, when you keep getting goaltending like that you can go a long, long way. Keep it up Marky!

Oh yeah, and Petey is pretty good at this hockey thing. Wow!

Welcome back, Toffoli! Huge getting him back. If Myers is nearing a return I can feel the tide turning in our favor.

We can totally beat these guys, regular season be damned. Game 5 is necessary, LFG!!

 

[RussianRacket]

What a response. Green had them ready.

Hughes was quiet. A good sign. We can win when he is in a tough stretch.

 

[Paradise Circus]

feels good boys

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

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.

He wasn’t yapping as much tonight. Nice to see the boys shut him up.

Sometimes you paint a portrait, sometimes you paint a barn. The second period was ugly, but the Canucks book ended the game with solid 1st and 3rd periods. Huge game from Pettersson and Markstrom. Toffoli coming back was a massive win for us, too. And nice to see Horvat get on the scoresheet for the first time since Game 2 vs St. Louis.

On the defensive side, felt Sutter had a massive game. Just so good on the PK and had an active stick everywhere tonight.

I know I already said his name, but Markstrom...man. Just an incredible game from him.

Felt like it

We'll need to be better moving forward, but I take this win and run.

Brilliant lineup adjustments by coach Green. No one ever sticks up for the coach on social media but the guys in that room are certainly doing it in spades. He should win the Jack Adams at least once.

 

[Phil Brooks]

Announcer guys going off on Horvats great game. Really was. His faceoffs are INCREDIBLE

Man I love this player

Thank you, Manny.

Winning faceoffs are so key. Praise Gillis for bringing Manny into this organization?

 

[crazychimp]

Complete turnaround as compared to the previous game. Proud of the boys.

#CheckTheKnights!

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Thank you Burke for calling out Smith’s late hit on Pettersson. Garbage f***ing play.

 

[The Stig]

You know...we aren't too bad at this whole hockey thing.

 

[Diversification]

Wow. Welcome back, Tyler Toffoli.

Huge game by EP. Outstanding apple by BB for the back breaker. Marky was lights out again.

Looks like the adjustments they made paid off early and often: Pressure the opposing puck carrier, tighten up gaps for facilitate short passes out of the zone, quick east-west plays to open up space down low.

We have ourselves a series

 

[Svencouver]

Saying this from the safety of our board... but...

How sweet it is to have young stars that are big gamers in the playoffs and always come up big when it matters, huh?

 

[supercanuck]

Who's Jonas Andersson? LOL

 

[Phil Brooks]

Felt like it

The SH ice time is messed up. Showing a bunch of Canucks playing 20 minutes of SH

 

[The Vasili Jerry]

Huge win! Apart from the horrible 2nd period I think the Canucks were maybe the better team. They were at worst very even with Vegas for the other two. They’re playing playoff hockey right now. They will do whatever is needed to win a game. They may not win the series but it won’t be for lack of trying if they don’t.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

How does Toffoli get 1st and Pettersson 3rd? Lol

 

[Flik]

I am so happy we held on for a win, truly. But let's face it..... Vegas has a shit ton more to give, do we? I sure hope so.....

 

[SM17]

Great game! Fully on the bandwagon and hope you guys complete the Cinderella run! A lot of bright young stars on your team.
