  1. Thirst line godlyyyyy

    Also we are holding first in the entire league! Now let’s see who the three stars are. Blueger and Garland better be in the three.

    Edit: um how did Kuzmenko get first star??? Sorry that’s an awful choice.

  2. #Postives

    -Thirst Line

    -Juulsen physical presence

    -we won and were 2 points ahead in first place going into the holiday break

    -Kuzmenko comeback tour

    -Garland/Joshua Chem is through the roof

    -Blueger/Aman goal was gross

    #Negatives

    -bad game, shouldn’t have gotten that close

    -Demko’s 5-hole recently

    -Petterrsson cant finish or stay on his fucking feet and needs to stop looking for calls, also directly led to a goal against that somehow still got blamed on Myers. *Where are you, and Im so sorry, I cannot eat I cannot sleep tonaaaiiiigghht*

    seriously though, where the fuck is our all star?

    -Joshua getting a liiiiittle too cocky, needs to keep doing what hes good at.

  3. A year ago if you told me we’d be leading the league going into Christmas, I would have asked you what kind of crack you were smoking.

  4. It wasn’t an oil painting by any stretch, but I will definitely take it. To be first place in the entire league is something I never thought I would see from Vancouver this season. The team is 7-0-2 in the past nine games and 8-1-2 this month. I thought the first line looked good, but there are some things to clean up, but overall, I thought they were solid. Hopefully, the power play can build off of tonight’s game. They looked solid and created lot’s of chances. Overall, I am really happy with the team, and they have definitely earned some much needed rest and recovery

  5. The last time the Canucks were in the top half of the league going into Christmas was nine years ago.

    • 2015 – 20th place
    • 2016 – 28th place
    • 2017 – 27th place
    • 2018 – 19th place
    • 2019 – 17th place
    • 2021 – 22nd place
    • 2022 – 24th place
    • 2023 – First place (screw your stupid pt%)

    It’s fun again

  6. First game i was able to see this year. You know what frustrated me the last seasons? The sloppy passing. Most passes just went nowhere for whatever reason. Now it’s tight. Pucks get where they are intended to go. And pretty passes work. It’s such a fun team to watch now.

  7. I would like to point out in 2011 also Dec 23 game was a 7-3 win over Columbus. Also in 2011 and now 2023 the game on Dec 28 are both against the Flyers….

  8. Can someone edit the SJ logo over the bowling pins in the “Who do you think you are I AM” meme video please, with the nux logo on the bowler. What a Chrisrimas gift this team is

  9. When you remark to your buddy pregame “I don’t bet but 2 points for petey, Quinn, jt and a goal by Kuzmenko would be a good parley” bugger.

  10. Some dicey moments but offensively we scored 6 non empty net goals so can’t complain there. Thank God we did enough to avoid the trap game. Now the boys get a well deserved break and move on to the Flyers! Always take it one game at a time boys

  11. This was a poor game played by the boys especially defensively by the Petey line. If anyone thought the guys played a good game is delusional, overall this team can get away with playing poorly against bad teams like the Sharks but if they’re going to show up like this against better teams then well we are going to get clapped.

  12. Also who’d the hell have thought we’d be #1 in the nhl at Christmas!!?? Certainly not me! I’ll take it though! Say it with me …. WOOO! 😎

  13. Even with two goals kuzy still in thr dog house lol, 3 mins of empty net and didn’t even put him out

  14. Nothing makes me laugh more than going back to threads from a month ago when the Oilers were heating up and laughing at all their fans who thought the wheels were gonna fall off for the Canucks

  15. I just love how Tocchet has connected with these players.

    He has the brain to surround himself with great ex players to help coach. Hall of famers, all stars I mean it’s just coaching by committee.

    He also has his finger in the pulse to make changes and reward players with ice time and they pay him back with goals.

    Just friken awesome to see.

    God I love what he’s doing.

  16. *HNIC panel*: Ok, the Canucks are 1st place in the league at Christmas, very impressive stuff. So Elliotte, what do you have for us from Sheldon Keefe out of Toronto?”

  17. great they got the win and 2 points, but that was some very poor defensive showing against one of the worst teams in the league, rest up for the Christmas break and go back to how they were playing last week

  18. My mom asked me where the TV remote was, I said “Vancouver Canucks”.

    She immediately knew, it was on top of the table.

  19. All convos at the dinner table this Christmas regardless of where you are should start with…. “*The Vancouver Canucks are GOOOOOOOOOD….*”

  20. Man I’ll be honest as a kid who rooted for the Canucks the 2011 run and lost interest for the past decade it’s so fucking nice to watch hockey again and cheer for a good team. LFG Canucks 🫡

  21. Let’s go boys. Everybody tell their bosses that they’re saving a vacation day in June so that they can attend the Stanley cup parade. 😂

  22. Haha “it’s difficult question for me because I don’t understand zero words” how can you not love this guy
