Whether we’d won or lost, this series has already paid dividends. Quinn Hughes coming out party as a playoff beast and one of the NHL’s premiere #1Ds. We’ve never had a player like Q. Almost every Stanley Cup winner has a true #1D, and now we have one of the best in the world. Boys coming together and overcoming adversity. Pushing through bad reffing, winning when Marky doesn’t carry us, chipping away at leads when down, working it to OT, and coming through with the series clincher. Kids leading the way, and vets stepping up and supporting the kids (even Sutter actually looking “foundational”). Team toughness and guys standing up for each other, and punishing the opponent when they try to take liberties. Never quitting. Just so much for this young team to build on, moving forward. Of course, still lots of room to grow and improve, but this group, especially the youngsters, is starting to learn how to win in the postseason. I’m excited to see how deep we can go this year, but even more excited about what these kids can accomplish in years to come.

How can you not love Chris Tanev? Bruised body, long greasy hair, maybe 4 teeth left in his mouth. What a beauty.

IN TEARS OMG PLAYOFFS BABY...SKY'S THE LIMIT THIS IS SUCH A GRITTY WIN FOR THE BOYS. SO PROUD OF EVERY ONE OF THEM. THEY BAILED OUT MARKY AND THAT'S HUGE.

JUOLEVI LOOKED GREAT

WE’RE IN THE PLAYOFFS!!!! SCREW YOU EDMONTON

OUR SPOUSES WISH THEY MADE US EXCITED LIKE THIS LOL

Quinn Hughes is the next super star in the NHL Controls the game in every aspect.. just a gem. Going to be a treat watching him in a Canucks jersey for next 15 years.

How to celebrate in the bubble, Tanev , “ I think we’ll think of a few things after I get undressed” awkward silence

Never thought I'd be doing three post-season GDT's in a row, but I have been assigned this position again!!

well, we have a few days to get the new coach in before the next round

Oh man. I made it through the whole day at work yesterday without finding out what happened in the game, watched it on the PVR and I was SO FRICKEN EXCITED! Great game by everyone. Total team buy-in and domination. Let’s hope the boys can put it away tonight! Hockey 2 nights in a row! Loving it! Go Canucks Go!!!

We aren't winning this series without Myers and Rooster doing exactly what they are doing.

I just had too

Can we stop questioning Bo’s captaincy now. Thanks!

So cool to watch this game with my 5 year old son tonight. What a game had no choice but to let him stay up till the end. Cheers everyone! One to the playoffs!

Man you have to admit Sutter had a helluva a series.

Probably one of the closest, tightest-checking series of the playoffs so far. Minnesota played a gritty, tough game but at the end of the day our star power and clutch players really shined. 1) Our top line was decent tonight, not fantastic, and they've been checked to death this series. No Sutter opened up play a bit more for them tonight but all 3 of the guys had a decent game. Was nice to see Pettersson and Boeser develop some nice chances and of course Miller's little things wins us the game (the screen). 2) Pearson was a monster tonight, I knew this would come as soon as we signed him but he's a playoff warrior, knows what it takes to win, scores us some big clutch goals and a huge play to tie the game that was all him. Obviously Bo didn't look that flashy but ends the night with a solid 3 points and couldn't be more clutch to tie it. As for Eriksson he was surprisingly useful tonight, had a lot of jump in his step and might fly under the radar here in the playoffs where experience will certainly help. 3) Our tertiary players have been outstanding this series. I think Sutter's been one of if not our best forward this series. Everyone was hating on him during the regular season but JB knows what he's doing, this guy is a tried-and-tested playoff performer and he really performed tonight. Huge goal to get us back in the game when the game was on a turning point and he's had about 7 A-grade scoring chances in the last 2 games just born out of hustle. He's a true warrior playing with 4th liners and he's getting the job done in all respects. This is what you want from your "foundational player" - such a solid 3rd line center. Motte had another strong game, Virtanen was good at times then quiet in others, hope Beagle's alright but had a hell of a strong game as well and I thought Zac was really generating some good offensive pressure and zone time, not only with his big body but nice quick hands in tight really help. We've got a really solid 4th line out there (as long as Beagle's alright). Roussel wasn't too noticeable tonight. 4) Edler, Stecher, Tanev and Juolevi all had a very solid game. Any time you don't notice the defencemen, that's a good game for them. Shame that Green basically shortened our bench to 4 defencemen, we can't keep that up in the future but at least there's a bit of a break now. 2 games in a row and we played our top-4 hard. 5) Myers obviously was atrocious going to the penalty box so many times but I agree in that it's not his fault, the refs were just calling everything, hardly playoff-worthy. Next round will be interesting and of course he should have learned after the first 2 penalties of the series to keep his hands down, but he made a hell of a play when Hughes made a huge mistake in a pivotal point in the game. Solid defenceman, just needs to clean up the penalties but in all honesty I think that was just specific to this round for some reason. 6) Obviously Hughes was a monster again tonight for us, plays around 27 minutes and scores a huge goal and an assist for us to get us back in a game that could have gone away from us when momentum was really swinging against us. This is when you need these stone-cold guys, and in the past in the playoffs this is where our team has been blown out. Hughes is by far our MVP so far this post-season and hopefully it continues. 7) Markstrom really had a rough night, he almost cost us the game on several occasions, including the time he went out to play the puck and should have been scored on to be fair. Poor guy will beat himself up but he and the goalie coaching staff have to address that short-side because you know the next team will pray on that. He's been so good for us so far so it's only fair his team bail him out for a night. On the whole I'm very impressed with what Green has managed to do against an extremely stingy defensive team. If the Canucks can blow a solid-Stalock and Minnesota defence open the way they did today, they can score on just about anyone. This special teams has been huge for us, the PP is clearly a weapon and if we keep having 5+ PP nights, we'll beat any team. We have all the components to go far this playoffs, if our PP is clicking, bottom-6 stay solid and goalie stays hot then we're in with a good chance!

Just wanted to throw this in here

LOL the shot of Travis Green going “YEAHHH! F**** YEAHHH!””

My mood instantly went from I WANT TO RIP FACES OFF to WEEEEE THIS IS FUN

Canucks need to sign Karl Marxstrom in the offseason, he wants to stay with the Canucks and they can get a deal on him. He's a socialist and will sign at a discount for the greater good of the people.

I hope to god when toffoli returns, green shifts him to horvats wing. Boeser just clicks so well with petey and miller

“Marky doesn't give himself enough credit. He's been a brick wall all season and we wouldn't be where we are right now without him. I couldn't be more proud of our guys. Our young guys stepping up in their first series. From goaltending all the way up we found a way to win.” - Horvat

Marky thanking all the players for scoring one more goal than them...in a robotic spiel. LOL Awesome.

How do you tame the Wild?

Some good luck sims for tonight's game... January 13 https://imgur.com/a/dogWMuZ January 14 https://imgur.com/a/ymbkTn6 January 15 https://imgur.com/a/YFtWfE2 January 16 https://imgur.com/a/QOJ90CS Standings

PSA - don't bother replying to constanza7 anymore.

“He had a good camp so he was our best option. He played heavier than we thought and made good passes. I'm happy for him, he's been through a lot. His first game ending like this is extra special for him.“ - Green on Juolevi

For all the complaining we do at times....the "vets" really came through and showed why they're so important. It's a perfect mix and they all seem to really get along well. No I in team stuff.

Chris tanev can have any woman he wants right now including mine

alright who wants to have sex?

My wife and I are going to Whistler for a couple of days without the kids. I’m very excited.
