Great News! Nucks got a loser point.

Bad news... Nucks PP is still batting zero and get 2 goals disqualified for... reasons...

Here's what we learned: We still don't love LA.

This little dull tilt started out great. Petey scores barely 10 seconds in!

Or did he?

According to the 'Situation Room' the puck wasn't clearly over the goal line, even tho it was clearly past the goal post...

Utter BS- that puck is in. #Canucks

Hahahah that is the worst version possible of the "puck must completely cross the line" I have ever seen #Canucks

— Jackson604 (@jackson604.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:16 PM

Booo Torrahnna goal judge.... where were you last night, eh #Canucks

— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:17 PM

"No goal due to digital artifact on the ice." At least the refs are being original in ways to screw the #Canucks tonight! 😄

— Erin Butler (@eleighbutler.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:19 PM

So no goal and we're back to zeroes.

Until LA scores... until... wait for it... Kuz scores. Ouch!

However, since this is NHL Scoring Safety On Ice on HNIC, the goal must be reviewed. And is. And the Kuz revenge goal is rejected. Offside.

Two pucks in the net but the score is still 0-0, this feels like an omen for how tonight is gonna go hahaha #Canucks

We're all back to evens... until Huggie scores!

Canucks GOAL! 🚨 Quinn Hughes (3) scores with 15:18 left in the 1st period. Kings: 0 Canucks: 1 #VANvsLAK #GoKingsGo #Canucks

— Canucks Game Bot (@canucksgamebot.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:26 PM

Woohoo! It's R2 with the tip and the Nucks with the lead. Finally.

Or not. Yup, for the 3rd time in this young game, goal is reviewed and disallowed on the offside. Not making it up!

Wooo R2! #Canucks.... pending offside check... sheesh.

— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:27 PM

Not a Gooooooääääääääällllllll. It's a review-o-rama night. #Canucks

— Ryan avgtraveller (@viewfromtherog.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:28 PM

It’s 2-1 #Canucks, based on pucks going into the net. It’s also 0-0. What a game. The battle of video reviews.

— Daniel Wagner (@passittobulis.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:28 PM

Four shots Three goals Three goals have been taken off the board Experience #Canucks hockey

— 🇨🇦 Trent Leith 🏳️‍🌈 (@trentleith.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:29 PM

If the 3rd period ends at zero zero, the team with the most non goals should win by default.

-- Twitch

But it gets worse... guess who socres, the finally acceptable 1st goal of the game?

Yup, our old nemesis pal, Kopi. Didn't even look like a goal, just a puck in a bunch of skates until Kopi put the puck past a startled Lanky.

Ugh, is it too much to ask that the refs be consistent and invalidate EVERY goal??? #Canucks

— CrankyCanucksFan 🇨🇦🏒 (@crankycanucksfan.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 7:57 PM

Nucks lead 2-1 after 1. In our hearts. On ice they're down 1-nothing.

Not a minute into the 2nd, Kane takes a penalty.

Kane gonna kane...

-- Twitch

Barely 3 minutes into the 2nd, Kane having served his obligatory, steps out of the box, scoops up the pass from O'Connor and zooms in to score on the startled LA goalie.

Wooo...kane gonna kane both ways.

-- Twitch

1-1 tie. And SPOILER ALERT: Last goal the Nucks will score.

As is tradition, Nucks get another PP and get nothing to show for it. And another. For those counting at home, that's the 9th straight Nucks PP that has resulted in nothing.

As is Kane tradition, gets another penalty, but we weren't punished for it.

2nd period ends in a 1-1 tie. As does the 3rd period. Which did have some moments, but no goals. Even when the Nucks PK had to be perfect. And actually were.

OT

As crazy how often Nucks have been in extended game mode, LA have been there much more often. Collecting more loser points than losers should really collect.

Nucks lose the FO, LA presses but lose the puck. Nucks play keep away, despite a gravity-induced bobble from Pete. Huggie plays nearly 15 minutes in a 5 minute period. Pete gets back on ice and decides to dash into the LA zone to score, probably. Again encounters a gravity-well and he falls. LA comes back the other way and after much scrambly goal mouth drama, Lanky gets outside the paint and blocked by Brynfield and Kempay scores into the open net.

Or does he?

The Situation Room hasn't gone to bed yet... and the Nucks who have already lost once are forced back onto the ice to lose a 2nd time. Suspected goal interference wasn't really interference, just a pick play and the NHL likes those.

Situation room doing their thing and trolling the canucks...

-- Twitch

Goal stands. Nucks lose twice in one game. LA wins 2 - 1.

Sorry, that's not Goalie interference for the same reason as last game. I am happy that they snuck in an extra review, though! #Canucks

— Ryan avgtraveller (@viewfromtherog.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 9:55 PM

I still don't understand goaltender interference.... #Canucks @downgoesbrown.bsky.social

— Jackson604 (@jackson604.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 9:56 PM

No one does. It's complex. Only the high Ref-Q of NHL officials can unravel the mystery and still rule against the #Canucks

— NucksMisconduct (@nucksmisconduct.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 9:59 PM

Silver lining?

Kings are 7-6-12 now. Play every game to tie 1-1. All these teams with so many ties are not Cup contenders. #Canucks

— DJTaxman77 (@hugheshart43.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 10:15 PM

Agreed. There’s no ties in the playoffs, AND no 3v3

— LesnielBC 🇨🇦 (@lesnielbc.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 10:46 PM

OBSERVATIONS:

• Good to see Lekky back on the team. Be even better if Footey had a clue about how to deploy him on the PP. Or run a PP. Perhaps there's a bigger stealthier picture to see.
• Nucks PP are now 0% on their last for 11 PPs.... and you know what that number means*
• EP40 has reignited his Alien detractors.

You know how there are roller blades and also roller skates that are easier to balance on. . Is there another kind of ice skates that have 2 blades that Petey could use? #canucks

— Terry & dog 🦮...🇨🇦🍁 (@aweebitdaft.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 10:09 PM

You can tell how much Elias Pettersson cares about #Canucks fans, even the ones who hate him. He's been too good recently, so he gave them a reason to blame him again by losing his footing in overtime.

— Daniel Wagner (@passittobulis.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 9:58 PM

I'm sorry, but this Bambi on ice routine with #EP40 is getting really old. #Canucks

— U-TurningPoint↩️ (@sp-arky.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 10:06 PM

Huggie notes:

#Canucks Kierszenstat of the Game: Quinn Hughes played 30:13 tonight which pushes his TOI average to 27:18 for the season. If this pace continues, Hughes will record the highest average TOI by a player in a single season since 2016-17

— Adam Kierszenblat (@adamkblat.bsky.social) November 29, 2025 at 10:19 PM

Sometthing is wrong with Huggie's shot. Ever since his arm got hurt, his shot is way off.

3 pts out of 6. Doesn't hurt us, but I'm looking at the bright side: it doesn't help us either!
(Thinking about next year's draft pick, of course.)

-- Atty - LIVE at the game!

*Could it be the Nucks Curse of 11 is magnified eleventy times on the PP? Always bad news at 11. Check k.d. madigan's background story here.

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Shortie and Dave calling all the goals... even the ones overturned.

Wanna see Petey fall down twice in OT? Yeah... not fun.

GAME STATS

COMMENTING OUT LOUD

DOC competes.

Score a goal, get a presser. Topless Kane again. Look away.

Footey using special stealthy words about a special game.

Clogged up game. Not clogged up with goals. So that was a nice change.

One more over-booked part of the schedule is over. We can look forward to a more traditional stomping on Tuesday a mile high in the Rockies.
