I thought his effort was great.  I recall a sequence of complete 200' play and the rest of his toi he wasn't caught out of position.

 

id like to see him stay and continue to develop his own game as well as chemistry with his line.

Exactly, let him get a little comfort with the guys he's skating with before giving him a night off. I'm sure tonight was one of the more wild games he has ever played in.

No but I meet a lot of Canuck fans, there's so many bandwagon jumpers.  Not talking about the people here, I assume you have to be kinda passionate to come talk about your team in a forum.  Don't you think most Canuck fans were happy to run Luongo out of town even though he's the best goalie we've ever had and ended the goalie graveyard we had?  Blamed him for losing in the finals even though the team set an NHL record for fewest goals scored in a 7 game series.. but mostly I'm talking about the lack of cheering, and awful atmosphere at Canuck games.  I'm not saying anything controversial here, it's been talked about for years in this forum.  I've been to a lot of sports events in a lot of cities and I love the Canucks but our fanbase stinks, sorry.  The team is pretty exciting this season so to be outcheered in our own building?  Pretty sad.  

Maybe just a representation of folks that live in Van.  (Or at least the 'monied ones'.

Well it was a fun game to watch, helped a lot by that great 1st period and the lead the Canucks got. Outplayed for at least the next 25 minutes, though, and had to rely on Markstrom to bar the door again. Virtanen continues to tease us with his speed, but he has yet to show me he's put it all together yet. Goldobin looked weak and ineffective. Good team game overall, though. Loui Eriksson has played quite well recently, I hope that continues. Even Sam Gagner, who has looked tepid most of the season, seems to be getting his hockey sense back. 

The Leafs got pretty dirty in the second period and didn't get called for any of it. 

I really like what I see out of Virt, even if he looks a little clumsy out there at times. As long as he's out there skating I do wish he'd bump up his hits per game by 2 or 3.

Basking in the glow of beating the Leafs, I can relax and watch the Coilers and Lames 'cause....I don't give a $&!#!!!

It's always tough to choose who to pull for, so this is my formula is:  if it doesn't factor into the standings I cheer for the visiting team.

 

I like it when the home fans get burnt in a loss and at the same time the bias broadcast has to eat it too.

Telling that neither Virtanen nor Goldobin were benched for the third period. Whether Green felt it was important to keep everyone fresh or if he was willing to trust them to hold a 3rd period lead, it was good that he was willing to let them play out the stretch. Games like these are important for player development.

 

Liked how both of them responded to the challenge today. The whole team gave their best effort even though they spent a lot of time in their own zone.
