GAME RECAP #5: NUCKS WIN! SHUTOUT PHILLY 3-0!

October 19, 2024

THIS IS WHY WE LIKE LOVE ROAD HOCKEY

Taking back the house. The Nucks lost their (near) home opener to these interlopers just over a week ago. Nucks return the favour to spoil Philly's actual home opener - with added shutout emphasis.

For the 2nd time this young and naïve season, the Nucks WIN a hockey game. 1st time in regulation. 1st SO for Lanky. So many firsts.

Nucks get the 1st goal of the game in the 1st after outshooting the Bullies 10-1 early. The sweet goal happened late in the 1st while fans were boooing the refs over an apparent missed call. We know what that feels like.

Doesn't matter. Gnarland with the gnarly board work passes the puck out front to Pete who passes to Hogz for the GWG. Not making it up!

WOOO Hoggy!

Beauty play by Petey to set him up too... that's gonna make the surrey super fans confused...

Twitch

Nucks lead 1-0 after 1. And do not lose the lead in the 2nd.

In fact, Nucks extend their lead, their mojo, their 1000th game celebration for their Chaos Giraffe. Who causes chaos in front of the Philly net. Myers sends a backhand pass to Bess who backhands it into the near open net.

Nucks lead 2-0 and the NM begruntled alumni are nervous.

Canucks buzzing...need that 3rd goal

Westy

2-0 Worst Lead In Hockey (TM)

Twitch

Nucks always listen to the NM Illuminaughty. Not even a minute later, Teddy wins the FO in the O-zone, right to Sherwood's stick - blasts it past a stunned Philly goalie and chit-chattering SN coverage.

KEEEEEF!

Twitch

he heard me

Westy

Nucks take over the game. Lead 3-0 after 2. And thanks to great play by Lanky and his iron will, lead 3-0 after 3.

#1 star tonight for vancouver: the iron.

Twitch

This has been a great road game where the goal post has done it's job

Westy

To be fair... Philly have been terrible 5v5 this season. And even better, Nucks PK didn't let anything untoward happen in 6 minutes of Myers summer cottage time. Where even Pete was relaxing.

Best Nucking win of the season? Trick question, since it's the only Nucks regulation win so far. Automatic BEST win of the season.

OBSERVATIONS

Conor Garland is playing like a man that will be a free agent.
Thank god he has another year

Westy

Gnarly is playing his best hockey. Let's hope this new Taco combo of Petter$$on, Hogz and Gnarly gets hot, hot right into March May.

Anything else? Yes!

Shortie and Dave on the scene, the mic, the win.


GAME STATS


PLAYERS 'N TACO TALK

Sherwood dialing in the presser.

Myers celebrating his 1000th NHL game in front of the media.

Lanky getting comfortable with the Nucks.

Taco Talks Tough about Lanky getting comfortable. Still some team puck management skills to improve.


Nucks finish their eastern road trip on Tuesday in Chicago pizza town. Before this road trip we were uh hoping 'n duh wishing for a 500 road trip. Mission accomplished. But wouldn't a 3 game road win streak be even more fun to bring home to Cat 4 Atmos River ROG ? Yes, yes it would.

COMMENTS

Comment System How-To

New NM, new comment system. Still uses words and stuff. Hover over the icons to see what they do. 

The most vital function is image embedding. Paste the link to the image in the comment box. When the comment is posted, the image appears. Most of  the time. 

NOTE: Remove the non-image name jibberish. If the image link has any stuff after the file extension - usually a ? with directives like: woo.gif?size=480 blah blah - delete up to and including the ? - simples.

GIF it up for Westy! Or still life in rum.
NOTE: Comments refresh every 30 seconds. Not fast enough for most of our lightening round contestants. We are working to increase the refresh speed. Just... not working too hard... because NM labour guidelines. Thanks for being patient!
