Man, a bakery doesn't have this many turnovers. 3-2 Hudler baby (nice feed from Moneyhands)

 

[mattola]

Edler is fucking terrible

 

[puckhead]

Sbisa and Edler are now tied 1-1 for brutal giveaways, for those keeping score at home

Edler take the lead 2-1
it's an exciting race, folks.

 

[mattola]

Nice hit burrows

Yup, hard and clean. I hope retribution is hard and clean as well.

Stanton comes in a little rough nailing Bouma from behind and we have a little bit of a melee. Bieksa rushes in to save Daniel from Engelland.

Two giveaways for Johnny Hockey on that shift...

So Canucks talked themselves into a goal, and out of a penalty. On the road.
pretty, pretty good.

Never would have happened with AV behind the bench.

Also, surprised that Miller didn't shake off his mask with a strap loose. Bobby Lou would have had that thing off immediately.

That little waterbug who wears #13 is going to be fun to watch this season...

 

[puckhead]

How the fuck was that not interference to spring gudreau?

 

[dash]

What the hell? Bonino breaks Bouma's stick with a slash and then Calgary gets hit with a gloved pass?

 

[puckhead]

good battle for Henrik to clinch the over.

 

[mattola]

That had to be the most amazing empty net goal I've ever seen lol

 

[Judge Fudge]

Wow. Just Wow

Congrats to Willie Desjardins on his first NHL coaching win...

And Miller for his first Canucks win.

Canucks gonna need to step up their face-off game from tonight 26W - 42L
(though the Richardson win late was huge)


unsung heroes:
- Stanton for the Nucks
- Byron for the Flames




(Edler on pace for -184)
