    Why do some of you act like we don’t already have the cup?

  2. julesieee

    Casey Desmith should start against his old team…. Or is that a disadvantage?

  3. HanSolo5643

    The fact that they played this well on the second half of a back to back really shows how well this team is playing right now. Everyone is pulling in the same direction and buying in.

  4. touchable

    Casey DeSmith has the best smile in the league, hands down

  5. It’s been so satisfying watching the good elements of a terrible season carry over to a much much better one.

  6. moisterthencloyster

    I’m sad that cheech didn’t get to experience this season and then retire next year

  7. NewWester

    Love the way the Canucks turn the rink into a speedskating track in the third. Everything to the outside and moving moving moving.

  8. AtilatheNun

    Someone put me in contact with Mike from Surrey, I’d like to bet UNLIMITED MONEY

    Alright, I told myself I was going to hold off making any judgements about this team because like Bush so eloquently put it, “fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”

    After 10 games I said “lets see after 20”. After 20 games I said “lets see at American thanksgiving”. After Thanksgiving, sitting top of the league, I said to myself “What the fuck is going on…are…are we a wagon? No way, were the Canucks, the other shoe has to drop at some point, right?” Let’s see after half the season.

    Well boy and girls, I think I’m ready to put the pessimism aside for a bit and let the optimism flow through me….WE ARE A WAGON WITH GREASY FUCKING WHEELS!! COCONUTS GLOW BABY!

    I could not tell that the islanders got a new arena

    Desmith really gives us a chance to win whenever Demko gets a night off. Really gives a boost of confidence and allows us to leave some gas in the tank for the playoffs rather than grind Demko into pieces before even the end of the regular season.

    That was Petey’s 7th Game Winning Goal this season! (He’s tied with Sam Reinhart for most GWG).

    In fact Petey had the GWG in the last 3 games against the Devils, Rangers and Islanders!

  13. Admittedly I haven’t seen every game, but has any Canucks goaltender been pulled this year? Wildly consistent.

  14. SilentPolak

    The jets are obliterating the jackets… We have to wait

  15. Noah Juulsen looks like a New York villains henchman.

  16. _whippetgood

    “If I break that line, I’d get killed in Vancouver…” lol

  17. I had enough hope before tonight’s game. Hearing that the last time this team had a record like they do now, was the 2010/11 season. *boner intensifies*

  18. -GregTheGreat-

    NGL I’d love a Jets – Canucks western conference final. The battle of the Canadian underdogs that everyone scoffed at our retools. Our offensive firepower vs their rock-solid defense

  19. Permanent-Ban-

    Mike from Surrey in shambles, drooling out of both sides of his mouth

  20. reddit_and_weep84

    My daughter, who is just getting into hockey, said to me “Hughes skates so beautifully that he looks like a figure skater” lol

  21. Whole_Chemical_1103

    Man I love how we’re playing this year. The whole team has so much chemistry and we have probably one of the strongest bottom six if not the strongest.

  22. Pls let the Canucks PDO bender their way to a cup 🙏.

  23. Sedinery_14

    As a huge Canucks and Jets fan I don’t think I can mentally handle a western final between the two.

  24. I know it’s not intentional, but Hronek has had a knack for taking out opposing players with slap shots on this road trip. So I can’t help but imagine something like this going down before they left: https://i.imgur.com/ohu9P9v.png

  25. Sedinery_14

    The last 3 games are making me change my tune on this team. They’ve found another gear they didn’t have so far this year. Legitimately imposing territorially and that top line might be the best in the league.

  26. Very very very impressed with allvin and the front office

  27. Miyazaki got his Golden Globe, Canucks sweep New York.

    Am I dreaming?

  28. arsenality

    One thing that blows me away (among many things with this Canucks team) is how well the Canucks were able to forecheck on the second night of a back to back road set. Both first and second periods they swarmed the Islanders in the O zone. Even in the third period when they took their foot off the gas a bit, they did not afford the Islanders much space. Super impressive.

  29. Poopawoopagus

    Missed the last three games. Becoming increasingly convinced I’m an anti-luck token: if I’m not watching, odds are they’re doing great.
