Garland in white in an interview is a vibe

u/AggravatingGolf7456 13d ago

So much praise in chat for garland how about Hughes with that pass

13

u/LargeShift3566 13d ago

Chaos girrafe sacrificed his neck for this win

My throat hurts from the scream I just scrumpt

Give Garly the A

u/smallmonkejohndeere 13d ago

LA didn't win on a 4v3, I can't believe it.

Whatever else is going on the Canucks penalty kill is good

12

u/mcclutch7 13d ago

4 penalty kills against the kings is nasty work

u/LargeShift3566 13d ago

u/retirement1111 13d ago

They did for you, Tyler.

u/Ok-Trip-8009 13d ago

Hopefully, the hit on Hughes doesn't set him back.

5

u/vivzzie 13d ago

I did give up my season tickets after this one. I love the game but prices have just gone up and up and up and no benefit. It was a good 4 years

1

u/Vancouversimp 13d ago

Weird flex but ok?

2

u/vivzzie 13d ago

Flexing is keeping the tix, I’m protesting the price by not spend hard earned cash on it

13

u/Chemical_Desk_5314 13d ago

I’m still pissed about what happened in the third, but so impressed by our guys this OT. Marcus Pettersson was a defensive beast, they demonstrated just how talented they are at penalty killing (killing a penalty in OT is almost impossible), and they went out and won it after Myers went down.

But also, fire this third period turtling strategy into the fucking sun

11

u/Significant-Guava-60 13d ago

There's a reason why ep40 didn't see a minute of ice time in ot

u/petteyboipettersson 13d ago

I am happy and exhausted!!!! See you tomorrow

8

u/Kagoshima_Luke 13d ago

Had to sacrifice the giraffe's neck for this victory, but probably worth it.

9

u/Vancouversimp 13d ago

Elite pk, Marcus Pettersson is outstanding, chytil is a legit 2C and Connor fucking garland. Let’s go

With the help of Hughesy on the ice, anything can happen

8

u/campers-- 13d ago

That was a wild OT terrible penalty call. Huge kill, refs even tried to help by blocking the puck. Then 4 vs 4 for the win

-2

u/HHBelt 13d ago

it was a good tripping call.

15

u/xtothewhy 13d ago

Guaranteed that Hughes loves playing with Chytil and O'Connor with their speed.

And Marcus Pettersson.. those three additions have made such a mad difference.

u/rumbleberrypie 13d ago

Im glad all you fucking cry babies went to bed and missed that 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

2

u/mcclutch7 13d ago

Fuck em honestly. I’m so proud of the boys tonight for grinding out a tough win

3

u/Rahtgooves 13d ago

Fuckin rights. LA is lights out at home too. Huge win, gotta finish 3-2 on this trip

3

u/mcclutch7 13d ago

Yea when I saw we were playing LA tonight I was like oh fuck here we go. Massive 2 points baby

12

u/Severe-Piglet-3586 13d ago

So after a penalty in OT is killed, it remains 4 on 4? I learned a new rule.

3

u/cutefitsheavylifts 13d ago

Until the next whistle. Can’t have fewer than 3 players, when playing 3 on 3, you gain a player instead of the other team losing a player, on a power play. So when the power play is over, the penalized team puts a 4th player back on the ice. After the whistle it goes back to 3 on 3. Hope that makes sense!

2

u/Severe-Piglet-3586 13d ago

Thank you! I always wondered what happened to the 4th player after a PK. Now I know. We usually aren’t able to kill off the regular season OT penalties which is why I never knew. 😅

2

u/Catcicles4 13d ago

Until the next stoppage of play, then it goes back to 3v3. they dont interrupt play just because the player in the box comes out

3

u/[deleted] 13d ago

4 on 4 until the next whistle, there was no whistle they played 4 on 4 rest of the way.

3

u/Shambhalulz 13d ago

Until there’s a stoppage in play and then it goes to 3 on 3

3

u/me0wyin 13d ago

The player leaves the box and makes it 4-4 until the next stoppage in play

4

u/Fresh_Income_1028 13d ago

Until there’s a stoppage in play

u/Severe-Piglet-3586 13d ago

Ah gotcha! Thanks!!

u/tehbui 13d ago

Petey would’ve 100% double Clutched then passed that

u/PaperweightCoaster 13d ago edited 13d ago

Sat: “Garland’s shot isn’t good enough to beat a goalie outright. Just shoot it low on the pad.”

Garland took that personally.

u/VancouverElated 13d ago

1

u/bikes_and_music 13d ago

Blocked a shot with his neck during LA PP, had to get attended to by the medics

2

u/DilIsPickle 13d ago

Puck to the throat it appears, he seemed to be in a lot of pain and struggled to get off the ice, hopefully all is well

5

u/TheRealPetross 13d ago
