    I was leaving work already smiling that the Blues were in the lead beginning of 3rd period and we had zero goals.

    And then I get home take a shower and look at the final score….

    WHA HAPPUN? 👁️👄👁️

  2. WTFvancouver

    We need OEL back…. we drafting 12th overall at this rate.

  3. nite_awol

    we have way too much firepower to really tank. sighhhhhhhhhh

  4. VanCityWok

    I so sick of these empty calorie ass wins

  5. Sinochick

    On the one hand, Petey is blossoming into the superstar that we all know he can be.

    On the other hand, he’s ruining the tank!

    But the Canucks beat Jordan Binnington…….

    It’s so confusing…… LOL

  6. OutrageousAd8399

    Petey could of had 5 or 6 points tonight

  7. joeyandkuma

    i expect the players to try hard but the GM needs to do more to weaken the roster for the longer term gain. why is hughes getting 30 mins. Tochet isn’t following the program. didn’t he talk about how the top players playing too many minutes and now he’s playing them more than bruce did.

  8. Voltage604

    Wtf happened. I got home with 10 minutes left in the game saw it was 2-0 and figured no point turning it on…. Boy was I wrong.

  9. rodudero

    Refs: we’re going to help the canucks win this tank race

    Petey & Kuzy: hold my pepsi

  10. Bandito4miAmigo

    Most disappointing game of the year. They actually had me caring about games again (not for the right reason mind you) and they pull this shit.

  11. NotoriousBananaHavoc

    Honest to god I swear Kuz within two years he will break 40 then 50 then the bank

  12. zeedonutnovel

    I like that the stupid tank battle gif I made today ended with the exact score of this game. … and the same way too! Blues up 2-0. Canucks come back with 3 straight.

  13. couldbeworse2

    Binnington gets the L, so that’s something

  14. GangreneMachine

    Oh for fucks sakes. I love Kuzmenko but really?????

  15. phantompowered

    What if.

    And bear with me here, what if

    Having Kuzmenko is close to as good as having bedard

  16. Sinochick

    Anyone notice that the team plays Will Smith’s “Miami” in the locker room after wins? I wonder how they chose that song?

  17. Striking_Ad_4562

    Can’t even be mad about Petey.

    Tank can take a night off.

    Highlight of the season for me.

  18. Bandito4miAmigo

    I know we joke about the tank, but a top 4 pick this year would be franchise changing, and Bedard… my god. Winning games this next month and a half is seriously devastating.

  19. SomethingGreasy

    Awesome win, you guys can chill about the tank. Fuck the refs, both the goal reviews went in the Blues’ favour when probably neither of them should have. Canucks were clearly the better team, outshot them 2 to 1 (that almost never happens). Petey and Kuzy are so fun to watch. Fuck Trash Binnington, garbage human, garbage player. Super happy with the win.

  20. JennyFromTheBIock

    Silver lining is Blues get a point too

  21. Ambitious_Work_3837

    EP40 is that #1 pick we all hoped for. I don’t give a toss about Cale Makar. Pettersson is about to be a captain, has the hardest shot in the league, Selke-caliber, and is battle tested when surrounded by a crappy supporting cast (something Makar hasn’t faced). We haven’t seen whether or not Makar can pound through the purple rain, and for that reason, you can have him at #2.

  22. Embarrassed-Pin-3000

    Anyone else catch coach saying he likes taking it in the bum?

  23. !nhlcompare <Kuzmenko, Kaprizov> [First 57 games]

  24. kentalish

    They got rid of the TD sponsor on the jersey?

  25. Plucault

    Wow, that first goaltender interference call was terrible. The van player was at the edge of the crease, gets slid into and the pass and goal are nowhere near the goalie. If Garland isn’t there, the goal is still going in.

    They had a replay and still got that wrong.
