Canucks are having a 23-24 version of our season last year, they were definitely great that game though. I'd put this game up there cause of the team, Carolina is a big boogyman for this team, was great to see they didn't fold after the Svech goal
i can’t get over how smart that play on the hand pass stoppage was for Kovacevic.
the puck goes behind the net, he taps the player on the leg to make him feel like he’s gonna join him and the Canes player blindly throws it in front. Kovy waiting there to deflect it. so smart

He doesn’t have the points to show for it but I think a case can be made he’s been in the top 3 players on the team during this good stretch of play.

This team's game right now is opportunistic 5v5 goals, stifling D, and elite special teams.
They played to that identity tonight.

Yeah, I said that in the post, he probably should've just challenged regularly but the thought process is Svech goes across him and he goes 5 hole or backhand to the far post. Markstrom would play that differently if you show him the tape I bet, he lost his net a lot there
idk, I think the skaters were really good. Markstrom just needs to be better, period

That’s a f***ing huge win, beating the Panthers recently and the Canes there’s no excuses now. They can beat the best, sky’s the limit.

it's a 1 in 1000 shot. take the L on your pissing and whining before the game

Another Siegs-Kovy masterclass. 85% and 84% xG. Only 0.11 xGA at 5v5 despite playing 17 mins
I know they were on a back to back, but we did this to Carolina:
This team is playing the kind of hockey that can succeed in the postseason

Another scenario where last year that early 3rd period goal for Carolina would have spiralled into a 4-2 loss or something. Markstrom made several big saves after that and allowed the boys to regroup. Much different team than last season. Huge to get the win and not allow the Canes to get a point at the same time
Loved the way we played, could nitpick a few things but I won’t.

Markstrom was positive on the goals vs expected goals tonight and only gave up 2 with a .909 save percentage.
He wasn’t a monster but he played well.
Glad we looked credible and solid against one of the hottest teams in the league.
And winning against a division rival is big too. Banking these points now gives us a cushion above the playoff cut line in the Metro for when we inevitably hit a skid.

Still feels like he is just scratching the surface
