He did play a steady game tonight. Didn't overdo it. If he plays that way all the time, great!

@Dirtman yup lol

[Dogcrazy]

I thought Myers plays well tonight, hope he can play like this every game.

Baby steps

 

Win this 4 game series. 

[Elias Pettersson]

Francesco gave both Benning and Green a vote of confidence before the game.  That is usually the kiss of death.  Luckily we won tonight.  I guess that was the motivation this team needed.  This was never a player issue.  We have the players to succeed.  Let’s see what happens on Monday.

Great win.

 

Strung three straight games where we outplayed the opponents. 

 

It's hard to win games in the NHL and I hope this game is the turning point where the players start to realize that they need to play for one another to win.

[DownUndaCanuck]

As bad as this team has been, a 6 game winning streak puts us right back into playoff contention. Every win's worth 4 points so you never know.

 

I think all of the practices has finally paid off because the Canucks executed Green's gameplay perfectly tonight. This is what we saw in St. Louis and for most of the end of last season. It's a hard system to pull off because it's aggressive, two forecheckers and pinching defencemen, and for most of the season our timing on the neutral zone pinches has been wrong leading to all sorts of odd man rushes, but tonight we were cohesive and when that defenceman pinched, we had a forward back covering. Luckily, as good as we were, the Flames were average, and we won most of those pinches. Credit to Green for finally getting the boys to implement his system but now the question is whether or not this hole is too deep to dig out of, and whether we can sustain this consistently. I do worry that the system leaves us vulnerable and solid-structured teams like the Habs will still feast on us, but the system makes these average teams look horrible.

 

Top line was great tonight, Boeser again making chances out of nothing. Miller was average, still expect more from him.

 

Bo and Pearson had some solid fights along the boards and Hoglander is again our best players, winning just about every puck battle, maintaining possession so well and some nice shots and a post.

 

I thought Virtanen was alright, didn't generate much but skated well. Eriksson surprised me, skated terribly but he's got a smart quick stick that in the end won the empty netter. Even if we play him 9 minutes a game, he's worth it in the final seconds where we usually cough up the game. 4th line played well, Gaudette with some brilliant hustle on that forecheck to almost score a goal.

 

Defencemen were brilliant tonight but it all comes from support. In the first 5 games we were spread out all over the ice and had no one to pass to so our D were isolated, now they all were within a few feet of each other so could make quick passes or defend easier. Edler and Schmidt finally looked stable, Hughes and Myers with brilliant hard-worked goals, Benn was stable and Juolevi had a brilliant game.

 

Don't change a thing now but we've got to find a way to play this system well, consistently. It will still leak breakaway chances against us because of how much the D pinch so we have to be careful against Montreal and Toronto who will expose us, but if we play like this most nights we'll crawl back into the playoffs.

[yes we can nucks]

My favourite moments in the game:

- Hughes beauty goal

- Tkachuk gets Juoleveled (yep, I'm coining that term cuz this is just the beginning!)

- Eriksson assists on the EN to justify his existence

No bud.

Since that very incident, that’s exactly how it doesn’t work.

Ensuring Tkachuk doesn't play again will likely prolong the careers of actually respectable players.  I stand by Moore deserving everything that happened to him, and Tkachuk deserves everything he has coming to him.  If the league doesn't like that, they can do their job and give that gutless coward a lifetime ban like the should have already.

But but he didn’t transform Virtanen in the summer .....

Loui was good tonight. He gets to stay in the lineup!

[Ray_Cathode]

What a difference to see a rested Canuck team that finally had a chance to get in some practice time, essential to integrate new players into the defence. Not a weak player on the ice tonight for Vancouver in a game almost entirely without unrecovered mistakes. Even Eriksson was effective tonight. 
 

I thought the defence was especially good and really it was only Markstrom that held the Flames in it. I thought our first year guys were  especially effective - Juolevi - calm and effective, and made a really impressive pass in the third period in the offensive from the point to the far side corner- gosh knows how he saw it - wonderful read and perfect execution.

 

Hoglander has an amazing work rate. 
 

Markstrom was definitely the Flames best player - he held them in it.

Aaa gonna sleep good tonight
