I’m sure they were jet lagged. They looked exhausted, but DeSmith kept them in the game and if not for a lucky bounce off a banked shot, they would have had 2 points. It’s still impressive that they got 1 though.
Ya a little over reaction. Canucks just needed one. I thought petey would finish them off but he could not score. It’s going to get tougher for van since teams will be ready , they won’t be taken lightly anymore .
11-14 points is just amazing. No matter how you look at it, the Canucks played extremely well the entire road trip. Reality struck them hard and there's nothing you could do about it.
7th game in 13 days, crazy tough East Coast trip. They did us proud with 11 of 14 pts, just the two coin flip losses. Hopefully Tocchet gives them a day or two when they get back into town.
Two things: NFL playoffs and US federal holiday. they should have picked another american team to play today; glad I won't be watching a game at 10am on a regular weekday morning anytime soon. Edit: Also want to point out the broadcast PxP was flown in as a substitute; Shorthouse and crew were stuck in Buffalo
This was the schedule where the sportsnet media could finally fit their narrative and see the Canucks fall off... fortunately the Canucks have once again proved themselves and sportsnet continues to ignore how exceptional this team really is.
Elvis Merzlikins only did a selfie pose so people would forget his other famous shot of the Washington Capitals staring him down and mocking him. We haven't forgotten, Elvis. You cant erase that amazing O.T. photo.
First person to comment on the video I love your videos keep it up man keep on posting great content I hope you can come back to streaming soon I miss hanging out with you and the other hockey fans in your stream.
Nucks coulda shoulda won that game! Ah but what is with using an often scratched 8 goal scorer instead of a TWENTY- SEVEN! goal scorer in the shootout???
I'm just saying if that franchise listened to John torella and kept him around they would not be such a shity ass team right now and they are a joke the entire roster was a joke the only thing that made them any good was John and then they got rid of everything good about the team if there's a franchise that knows how to purposely ruin their franchise it's Columbus Blue jackets sold the fact that any team lost against them is really sad I have to say I'm very disappointed with the Canucks as I would with any team facing this garbage team though and Elvis needs to stop acting like he a good goalie cuz he's not a good goalie and doesn't belong in the NHL or AHL
Even with a tired team you should be able to beat a team like Columbus. But that is no excuse either. These are only millionaires and pro atheletes and they get tired taking the bus, plane and having an early game? How is this team suppose to play a playoff game that goes 2 overtimes or longer or a 7 game series? I guess they won't. LOL.
Don't forget they are one of only 9 teams to have played 44 games so far. More hockey and travel time than any other team in the league. Tampa is a very close second with the same amount of games but more at home. Edmonton has only played 39. That's a lot of hockey wear and tear.
