LOL :emot-parrot:

 

From an interview following the game:

 

"Just embarrassing," Blackhawks goaltender Robin Lehner said. "A team like that should not be beating a team like ours 7-5, there's absolutely no way."

“A Team Like That” should be the Canucks new slogan...

Marky bailed the boys out vs the Kings and the boys bailed Marky out on this one. Love this team. 

Marky was great in the first, but the D was very casual in the second and left Marky out to dry. You can't expect him to play 100% all the time, but those saves in the first were timely and gave the boys confidence. I know there were two or three he would like back, but a win is a win.

Does anyone remember that other 3rd line center we started with?

Damn man on the tip of my tongue.......

It's funny how one injury has changed the dynamic of both the third line and Bo's line. With Gaudette in for Sutter, the third line is more of a scoring line and less of a shut down line. Without Sutter, Bo's line and the 4th line are getting the tough matchups and more D-zone starts.

I believe it was his comments about how bad a trade it was for Vancouver acquiring Miller. He even doubled down saying he doesn't care how many points Miller gets it is still a bad trade for Vancouver, even if they make the playoffs.

He's a negative tool. I seriously to block him cause 1040 retweets his crap. I honestly thought I was gonna snap and tweet something at him I would have regretted. I actually dislike the guy more than Jeff Paterson.

Ditto.  At this point, as long as they win and make the playoffs is all that matters cause that playoff experience will help in the developement of our young core.   As for Markstrom, I dont expect him to be perfect just as long as he makes the right save at the right time.   GCG !

Also Gaudette in the last 5 games has been over 55% proficiency in the faceoff dot, after averaging less than 30% in the previous 5 games.  

 

An area he is growing into as he grows stronger and wiser in the game, but eventually could make Brandon Sutter more expendable than he already is. 

Yeah. Faceoffs are a big thing. You’re not gonna Center a PK without being able to win them and he’s one step closer to getting looks there. 
 

Once he starts PKing and can be decent on the dot good bye Sutter.

Wild game, our top guys came out better than theirs, both goalies were leaky tonight but Gaudette with a massive goal, he's scored some big clutch goals of late.

 

Keep the streak going, Green nailed it by saying this young team either gets really down and hard to break out of a losing mentality but when they're confident they rip through teams and that's what we're seeing. When we're confident like this, 4-2 and on the powerplay, we know we're going to win the game.
