Projected #Canucks<\/a> lines vs. @NHLFlames<\/a> <\/p>\n \u00d6hgren. EP40. Karlsson. Buium. Hronek. \ud83e\udd45Tolopilo\ud83e\udd45<\/p>\n 7pm on @Sportsnet650<\/a> <\/p>\n sportsnet.ca\/650<\/a> <\/p>\n First Period<\/p>\n Less than a minute into the game, Evander Kane cleared the puck over the glass from his own end, giving the Flames the first power play. Matt Coronato promptly put the puck in the back of the net, beating Nikita Tolopilo with a nice one-timer.<\/p>\n 1-0 Flames.\u00a0<\/p>\n Then the big boys got after it. Curtis Douglas politely asked Adam Klpaka if he wanted to drop the gloves, and Klapka obliged.<\/p>\n Nice tilt! Be sure to head on over to hockeyfights.com to vote on the winner!<\/p>\n After the fight, Dustin Wolf made a great pad save off of Liam \u00d6hgren, and moments later, Filip Hronek fanned on a breakout pass that quickly ended up in a Flames point shot that Joel Farabee tipped past Nikita Tolopilo.<\/p>\n Two minutes later the Flames take a two goal lead.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n 2-0 Flames in a hurry.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the next shift, Victor Mancini tossed Zayne Parekh into Dustin Wolf during a mad scramble in front, and with Wolf down on the ice, Brock Boeser arrived on the scene to deposit the puck into the back of the net. Calgary challenged the goal, and were successful in doing so. Back to 2-0.<\/p>\n Brock Boeser scores but it’s called back for goaltender interference.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n Five minutes in, this game was an absolute chaotic mess.<\/p>\n The Canucks got another power play opportunity just a couple minutes before the halfway mark of the opening frame, and Wolf was up to stopping both of the shots thrown his way.<\/p>\n The game cleaned up a bit and both teams did a better job of halting one another in the neutral zone, but with just over a minute left, the Canucks got on the board. Elias Pettersson made a neat little between-the-legs pass to Linus Karlsson, who moved in on a 2-on-1 with Liam \u00d6hgren, who made no mistake in ripping a shot past Wolf to get the Canucks on the board.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8CANUCKS GOAL\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n Liam \u00d6hgren brings the Canucks within one late in the first after a pretty setup from Elias Pettersson and Linus Karlsson.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n 2-1.<\/p>\n Some takeaways from the first: Second Period<\/p>\n So, the Flames really poured it on in the second. First, Ryan Strome tipped a\u00a0 point shot past Tolopilo, and this was one the Canucks\u2019 netminder \u2014 who notably hadn\u2019t played a game in two weeks before tonight \u2014 likely wants back.<\/p>\n Ryan Strome makes it 3-1 Calgary.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n 3-1.<\/p>\n Then, less than five minutes later, Olli Maata poked one past Tolopilo. Another one he\u2019d likely want back.<\/p>\n And it\u2019s 4-1 Calgary.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n 4-1.\u00a0<\/p>\n After this one, Tolopilo got the hook, and Kevin Lankinen entered the game.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, Lankinen proceeded to let a bad goal of his own in on the very first shot he faced 11 seconds after the goal against Tolopilo.<\/p>\n After replacing Tolopilo the first shot on Lankinen gets by and it\u2019s 5-1.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n 5-1.<\/p>\n This one was getting out of hand in a hurry.<\/p>\n The Canucks got a power play chance with just over seven minutes left in the period, and it was Brock Boeser who continued his hot month of March, scoring his sixth goal of the month and 18th of the year:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8CANUCKS GOAL\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n Brock Boeser gets one on the powerplay.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n 5-2.\u00a0<\/p>\n To their credit, the Canucks kept up their effort and got a good number of shots off on Wolfe to finish out the second. Unfortunately, a Zayne Parekh power play goal meant they\u2019d be playing from down by four once again as they head into the third.<\/p>\n The Flames make it 6-2 on the powerplay.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfa5: Sportsnet | #Canucks<\/a> <\/p>\n 6-2.<\/p>\n Some takeaways from the second: Third Period<\/p>\n Evander Kane had a great chance to pull the Canucks within three by scoring in game number 999, but Dustin Wolf robbed him in tight early into the third.<\/p>\n With just over seven minutes left, Nils H\u00f6glander laid out an official (he got up fine and stayed in the game), and then redirected a Victor Mancini shot past Wolf to bring the Canucks to down by three.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udea8CANUCKS GOAL\ud83d\udea8<\/p>\n Nils H\u00f6glander scores as the powerplay expires to make it 6-3.<\/p>\n

-Liked a few of the retrievals under pressure for Victor Mancini. More than once, he used his size to shield the puck from a forechecker and wheel the puck out of the zone.
-I know the shooting percentage is going to come down (and has already started to) but I\u2019m increasingly convinced the Canucks have a solid middle six winger capable of chipping in with 20 goals and playing in all situations in Liam \u00d6hgren. And I wrote this BEFORE his goal!<\/p>\n
-Why couldn\u2019t the Canucks acquire Ryan Strome or some other bad money at the trade deadline?<\/p>\n
