[PGT] Vancouver Canucks at Dallas Stars | Mar. 26, 2022

[Kragar]

Sure love Petey channeling Marcel Dionne on that 2nd goal.

 

Crazy nail biter.  started freaking when the goal horn went to let them review that play, and all that pressure in the third giving me a heart attack. Huge sigh of relief on the EN!

I’ve always had this opinion that since Van lost to Bruins and the riot started, the news made it look so much like Canucks fans were responsible. After that Bettman, refs and certain media seems to abandon Vancouver and change the outlook.  
Dunno it’s just how I feel. 
That and Eastern Canada will always dote on  Toronto or any eastern team. 

Rotten Ronnie criminally slandered Burr on national TV before the finals.  The NHL will not have honest officiating as long as Bettman is in the commissioner's office.

People who dump on Calgary as if they're some sort of mirage don't know what they're talking about. Yeah, we beat the crap out of them on the scoreboard that one game but they're undeniably on another level than us. 

That 2021 Vegas team sure is undeniably on another level than those lowly 2021 Montreal Canadiens.  Oh...wait...

 

That Gonzaga team sure is an on a different level than the other elite 8.  Oh...wait.  

 

Those 2011 Vancouver Canucks are undeniably on a different level than the 2011 Boston Bruins.  Oh..wait. 

 

Those 2019 Tampa Bay Lightning sure are on a different level than the the 2019 Columbus Blue Jackets.  I remember when they swept the lowly Jackets in 4 straight games.  Oh..wait...I think I may have it backwards.

 

This team that is supposedly on another level than us, we have 3 points from in the season series so far and if JTM hadn't made that bonehad play in OT to Gaudreau, who knows what would have happened in that game decided 1-0. 

 

I could not more strongly disagree that they are on a different level entirely.  I strongly believe that this team has the underdog ingredients that should make "overdogs" nervous about us.  I would vehemently argue that Vancouver would not be an easy, 5 games or less out, against Calgary in a playoff series.

Hey!

What about a new mojo?

Black Towels.

With the Nasty Jersey colours...

Everybody shows up in black.

The light goes out..

Pink Floyd pumps out the hearbeat beat ..beat

The dark grows to black light orcas rising through the ice 

(Yes, I have been enjoying the evening..

Black towels won’t show up - especially on tv. It wouldn’t look like much of anything at all. 

 

A black light show with the Orca  appearing upon the ice & swimming across the crowd,…that I could get behind, as a goal-celebration! Is that already happening, now? 

 

Just issue each seat a black sheet of paper & call upon those  “Olympic/closing ceremony” guys to work their video, lighting, hallogram magic with the orca-thing! 

LOL. 
 

Why not! Just let ‘em know we give a damn & care-a-lot?!

Canucks were definitely lucky in pulling this one off... a lot of Dallas hitting the post.

 

But on the other end... the wide open Canuck goal that the Dallas player missed... that same player had just seen Demko make an impossible save on him and that was a factor in his hands tightening up and hitting the post.

 

Demko was definitely the best Canuck... giving Petey his due for scoring two crucial goals.

 

Anyone notice Dallas was giving Pettersson a lot more room on the PP?  That was a mistake.  If a team does that, then he gets those one timers and a lot of them will go in.

 

I'm only sorry that Pettersson did not shoot on the 2nd two on one instead of trying to get it through to Horvat... would have liked to see a hat-trick.

 

Also want to give a shout out to Podz... his forecheck and overall defensive play was excellent... he was breaking up Dallas plays both in the Dallas zone and in the neutral zone... was right on the puck all night.

 

Anyone watch the Calgary/Deadmonton game?  Calgary feasted on the Coilers lax D play... just filled the net.  Even though Draisaitl got a hat-trick, it didn't matter.  Coilers goalie was dazed and confused by the end.

They still have a lot of gutless players who play scared in the playoffs in the playoffs like Gaudreau and Tkachuk.  Until those cowards are replaced with real men, they'll get exposed in a hurry.

3-4 years ago when the Flames won the west confrence, won the first game against a young up and coming team in Colorado. Then yhe Aves won four straight. Moral of the story (G) Mike Smith 2 assists in that series. (F) Johnny Gaudreau 1 assist in that series. There pre madonna players will soon be exposed.

Pretty sure the turtle was so scared he faked an injury to avoid dressing by the end of the series if my memory is correct.

I am not a Calgary fan, but this current team is quite different from the Gaudreau 'Lite' team that nearly won the President's Trophy but got eliminated by the Aves in the first round.

 

This team is a lot heavier, with significant muscle and toughness... Gaudreau and Tkachuk don't need to be the tough guys, they have Lucic, Gudbranson and Zadorov to do the nasty work.

 

They also have a much steadier and consistent goaltender in Markstrom than they did in 2018-2019 with Mike Smith.

 

I would not at all be surprised to see Calgary go deep.

I would be until they get rid of the locker room cancers in Tkachuk and Lucic.  When your top six is mostly made up with gutless cowards, the rest of the lineup doesn't matter.

People who haven't followed the Flames season will look at the trade deadline/the splashes that the made and compare it to tonights effort and will say CGY is a terrible team despite having aspirations for the playoffs.

 

Tonight showed despite giving up 5 (not ideal) that they can "run and gun", have subpar goaltending and defence, YET still beat the living out of you. A very rare occassion where the Flames were not discipline defensively. If anything, they are a juggernaut team defensively under Sutter. Makes me very jealous how good they are.

Enough.

Gag.  Gag.

Here's how I see it.

 

Calgary is an extremely well coached team who rode an incredible goaltending ( 9 shutouts) and a solid system to get where they are now, they have also been the healthiest team and because their entire team got covid at once they played a lot of hockey where the other teams were missing multiple players. They are a good team that is seeing a lot of guys have career years, Tanev 22 points and healthy all season is one example.

 

With regards to the nucks it's really simple, under TG we sucked and were heading knowhere but under Bruce we are a top 10 team. While earlier in his tenure you could argue the results were a mirage due to a bump etc, we have a bigger sample size under Bruce than TG and maybe it's time to say this is a good team that had the wrong coaches to get the best out of them .

Ron MacLean’s incessant name-dropping at times makes me wonder, if he is collecting perks or pay-offs to plug all of these people, wherever they may be…..or - will his vast sack of trivia simply explode all over the place, if the show doesn’t let him leak-out at least a couple dozen tid-bits of useless information a segment. 
 

Some history exploration is charming, but Ron’s motor-mouth & patty-stacking of facts or fiction, actually detracts from the point of the conversation,…which is alarming.

During the 2nd period they did mention that this current Flames team has four 30 goal scorers (Lindholm, Mangiapane, Gaudreau, Tkachuk)

 

Which "Hasn't happened for the Flames since 93-94" (Nieuwendyk, Fleury, Roberts, Reichel) then Scott Oake 'reminded the viewers' that 30-40 goal regular seasons "guarantee nothing & certainly didn't in 93-94, when the Flames took a 3-1 series lead on Vancouver in the opening round, lost the next 3 to go out in 7"

 

LOL 

Applause to Scott Oake! 

[canuckpuckluck1]

I just finished watching the game, 3 stars the post, 2 stars Demko, 1 star Petey.

What a fabulous performance. 

The hockey gods smiling on the team today.

Full Canuck Puck Luck!!!!!

 

I thought Podkilzin was sensational. So strong and just a beast hounding the puck. Great team performance. 

 

I tell you if this team makes the playoffs there are some scared teams over there.
