GAME RECAP #76: NUCKS WIN! 6-2 Blowout Over the *ucks!

NUCKS ROG GOAL QUOTA RESTORED - FOR TODAY

A MEAN NUTIN' GAME WON.

Nucks gave up the 1st goal on the Ducks 1st shot in the 1st. We might have been ready to get out in spring air, breathe and kick some weeds over.

Instead, the Nucks come back in the 1st to score 5 goals... in record time. In the 1st period! Not making it up!

The #Canucks score 5 in 4:30 as they defeat the #Ducks. The fastest 5 goals in franchise history!

Nucks won the game before the 1st period had ended. Really.

1ST

Sure the Duckies score first. But suddenly, Nucks puck luck and youth movement took over the game.

Jr. Petey scored his 1st NHL goal from a nice setup from Lekker.

WOOOO JUNIOR!! First career!

Twitch

Barely a minute later, Ronnie score for the lead.

Less than a minute later on the PP, Huggie puts a shot on Brock's stick for the tip and GWG. Another minute plus later, Nucks PP scores again, with Huggie putting a shot on Doomstool and Gnarly putting the puck in the net.

And now Boeser! PP goal!

WOOOO GNARLY! 2 for 2 on the PP! 4-1
--Twitch

Nucks aren't done. Setting a record. Kief and M-Petey setup Josh for the Nucks 5th goal of the period.

Holy shit, joshua now! 5-1 14 minutes in!
--Twitch

Crazy period. Also... where was this crazy team versus the Kraklings? We don't know.

Nucks lead 5-1 after 1. Wow!

2ND

Nucks have established the safest 4 goal lead in hockey.

Which turned into the safest 3 goal lead in hockey.

5-2 Nucks after 2.

3RD

Nucks aren't looking tired. Maybe a little more determined to spend a little quality time near Demmers. If that's sounds like sitting back with the insurmountable 3 goal lead, it's not.

It just looks like it.

Can we not rely _entirely_ on Demko to close the game out, please?
-- Thursday



And relied they did, until Sasson beats a Duckling at the Nucks blueline, speeds down the wing and dekes Doomedstool to restore the super-safe 4 goal lead.

WOOO Sasson! Beautiful goal!
-- Twitch


What an amazing and perplexing game. Nucks win 6-2 in the ROG.

With that Sasson breakaway and goal we're up to five minutes of exciting Canucks hockey today! Woo!
-- Thursday



OBSERVATIONS

Nucks season was no longer on the line and Nucks players could relax and wax the Ducks. If only they could have relaxed and had fun in 6 other stress-filled losses, we'd be seeing this roster having fun getting swept later in the month.

Capt'n Huggie had 22 minutes and 2 assists... which is good, because tomorrow he needs to be fresh.

The sky is pouring down with sunshine...

Outstanding win by #Canucks improving their playoff chances to 1.5675% Club record 5 goals in 4mins & 30 seconds in the 1st period.

Abbotsford beats the Ducks. #Canucks

Looks like Roasted Duck was on the #Canucks’ lunch menu. Good win.

Honestly surprised to turn on the TV and see we're up 6-2 with under 10 minutes left in the 3rd. #Canucks

Anything else? Yes!

Great moral-boosting win. Maybe more... but just enjoy the moment until tomorrow.

Junior on getting his 1st NHL goal.

Brock pots his 25th on the PP.

Capt'n Huggie being all captainy.

Speedy Sasson on the board and the presser.

Taco happy with the kids and the oldies.


Who knew that Canucks hockey could be so much fun in 5 minutes or less?

Nucks get to savour this fun win, later in the month. Gotta get pumped up for some Nightie hockey tomorrow.

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!
