I’m a happy camper.

 

[WHL rocks]

Garland was so close today. Hit 2 posts. 

 

I think when he gets the monkey off his back they'll start going I'm bunches. He'll get a few in short order..

[420Fish]

Enjoyed the game. But man, that hooking call on Miller, 2 mins for touching. And Bedard almost had to come to a dead stop to make that icing. Yikes, kept it too close for my nerves.

right on

[Dr. Crossbar]

Good teams find ways to win!

[Iron Man]

Come to us when you're a UFA, Bedard. Also, we still perfect when leading after 2, I believe.

[WHL rocks]

NSH and DAL up next.

 

Canucks need to be ready off the hop. Can't take 1st period off against those teams or won't be grinding out points..

[DownUndaCanuck]

Two bad games, 3/4 points, that's how the good teams do it. When you watch even Vegas, they stink against bottom teams sometimes but elevate their play when it matters most - against good teams and in the playoffs. Hopefully we save our good performances for top teams and still find a way to sneak out wins and points against crap teams.

 

[Dr. Crossbar]

Good momentum building before the Christmas break!

Next 2 games are at 5 pm PST

Good enough.. could be 4pm pacific like eastern road trip games are. 

 

Much better than 11am or noon. Players aren't used to playing en morning. Legs aren't there.

As if he has a choice.  GCG!

6 - 1 - 1 since Zadorov joined the team.

 

And people thought he's just a 3rd pair Dman.

 

He's had a huge impact on this team. We were winning 1 losing 1 before the trade..

He’s a beast, WHL.

Depending on how you define hooking, it might actually have been.  The thing that bugs me is that Bedard stopped and made the call, and then the ref did.  GCG!

3 points out of 2 morning games aren't too shabby. But I'm most glad this 2 weird weekend matinee shitshows are over.

 

Now we get back to the regularly scheduled programming.

Wait until you hear about our 10am game on a Monday in Columbus…

True true. I'm glad that I won't have to go to sleep late for those games

Got the job done. Important to grab 2 pts from the bottom dwellers. 

This was a real eye opener for me. These midday/afternoon games are sluggish but it's a real treat to be able to catch a game at a decent time here in Europe. 

Bedard came as advertised. Making things happen almost every shift. Good to see him being stripped multiple times during this game.
