Vancouver fans badly needed this...

Let's talk about the success of the Vancouver Canucks and the success they've had in scoring early on this season!

[@GoKnightsGo1]

Just to add Hronek’s shot was the fastest ever recorded shot in an NHL game. It was recorded as 107.9 MPH!!! Crazy! 😮

[@CarsonLeeman]

@@colinbrunette54already done

[@KINGPOOPS]

I don't know where this 107.9 number came from but NHL has it listed at 100.37mph

[@pneudmatic]

The Canucks are reporting on their game recap on the team page that it was that speed. If that's accurate then only two shots have been harder in the All star Competition so it could be hardest in game. Where is the info from the NHL?

[@pneudmatic]

Aha! CanucksArmy reports, "... but unfortunately, it was Sportsnet getting the numbers wrong. Officially, NHL EDGE lists that shot at 100.37 MPH, which is still fast, but puts Hronek as the 9th-fastest shot thus far in the season. Not bad, just not record-breaking, as we first thought." So, this is false.

Vancouver sucks go oilers on a three game winning streak

[@nicholasalexander8505]

Honestly as a Habs fan, Im happy to Vancouver doing the way they are. Its refreshing to see them come back from the last year even if it's not many games in they're playing incredibly strong. Itll be interesting to see how their season continues...

[@yuhreed]

i'd give a testicle to see a rematch of boston vs vancouver in the finals this year

[@bigrig2008]

as a bruins fan i would love to see a 2011 rematch! also the canucks flying skate jersey is my favorite sweater of all time

[@BigSleepyJoeCooking]

Tough game tonight but travel and back to back oh well they were due for a stinker they’ll bounce back

[@gabetalks9275]

I feel so bad for Horvat. He was a heart and soul guy who deserved to be part of the success Vancouver is having, but sadly, he got screwed over by Benning's cap management. At least they got Hronek out of it, but still.

[@spencer8218]

As an Isles fan, I don't think he's having as much fun this year on the island. I know I'm not, and I'll tell you that for free.

[@JunkBondTrader]

oh man, mentioning the 2011 game 7 and possible rematch this year... A bit early... But godDAMN that would be a gratifying rematch to see Vancouver get redemption after 12 years. I'm still bitter about that game haha. If it goes down, they gotta win! For the twins, Lu, Kesler... I can still feel the anger and tension in the air downtown Vancouver that night as we slowly realized we were going to lose the game which ultimately turned into a riot lol. Was a disappointing day to say the least, especially knowing that the team was not going to be the same next year, literally. Took a while but look at us now! And we will likely have this strong core for the foreseeable future which is an assuring thought.

[@lillian8482]

FINALLY SOME RESPECT ON BOESER'S NAME we love to see it

[@marvinschwartz9159]

Not taking anything away from their scorers, but in my opinion the big turnaround comes from the additions of soucy, cole and a healthy hronek. Not like hughes, petterson and miller didn‘t score like that the last few seasons. But vancouvers defense was so bad, they had way less puck possession and more goals against. They had elite offense all the time, but they had poolman, myers on their top4. Cole and soucy, even friedman, helped that team to be this good while helping out demko too.

[@DannyMorrs]

As a Leafs fan, I am more than a little bit envious to see how well Vancouver is doing, but I'm also happy to see them doing so well. Especially out of no where, they've just worked hard as a team to build what they've got

[@Skynertia]

The Canucks are playing insane. But yeah everything about these first 17 games feels totally unsustainable.

[@NK73080]

You were saying

[@nicorobin5978]

You jinxed it. Getting stomped by Calgary.

[@g.w.7893]

Yup.

[@TheOriginalTuhat]

Hey it could be worse, right?? Currently watching the blues losing 5-0 in the 2nd to the FUCKING SHARKS

[@NK73080]

Ehhh after 5 games in 8 days I’m not suprised

[@andreasklint5210]

Islanders were also better 5v5 tbh, vancouver just got superb special teams. Fun too see some life in vancouver tho

[@Platnatimingbelt]

Our team was broken and tired we missing Soucy,Kuzmenko and Suter all those guys play key parts plus this is our second back to back in 5 days they only had 1 day rest Saturday it'll be a different team

[@natatatt]

As a Canucks fan since the early 2000's, I am really enjoying their current success. But I expect to eventually be disappointed, either later on this season or in the playoffs. Sorry, I've been disappointed too many times. : (

Quinn Hughes is a good captain and probably the best Hughes brother

[@MandatoryFruit]

Despite their loss tonight, I honestly think this team is going to kill it for the rest of the season.

[@WeeTodSensation]

Yeah tough game against Calgary but they also played 4 games in 6 days so they’re probably tired

[@deanmalkewich2366]

They’ve had a pretty easy schedule, but they are beating teams they are supposed to beat, more than I can say for the Oilers

[@Chungler_7RL]

Great vid

[@jeremyrafuse5330]

Sorokin more than likely heard the crack when the puck hit his face. It's a pretty grotesque sound..

[@doubledouble4g379]

This'll suck when the clock strikes 12 and they turn back into a pumpkin... Seriously, too good to be true.

[@junk3996]

time will tell. but if this was to happen with such a dramatic fall off, it probably would have happened already. i agree they most likely won't sustain this pace, but they're not just going to go on a 15 game losing streak or anything

[@lesevesel2898]

The unexpected: Vancs looking like contenders. The Slicks and the Flames, not so much. Obviously just the first quarter of the season and we haven't even begin to speculate on the Christmas trade deadline freeze.

[@JesusFriedChrist]

No they’re not. The Flames, yeah so much, more than Homgcouver that is.

[@JunkBondTrader]

@@JesusFriedChrist They objectively are looking like contenders. Maybe you dont think it will last, but being second in the league 16 games in, so far they do look like contenders in reality and on paper. What's the weakness you see in Vancouvers game right now? The flames are below .500. Homgcouver? ok buddy, this isn't about Vancouver's racial diversity, it's hockey. What makes the flames look like contenders? your feelings?

[@user-nw4ln6gr5v]

Kuz should've been wearing a cage. He also should've been penalized for Delay of Game.

[@deanmalkewich2366]

Take 3 games against the oilers out of the equation(I’m an oilers fan and they wouldn’t have beat the Abbotsford Canucks the first ten games of the season), and the Canucks have won exactly 2 games against playoff projected teams(FLA and DAL). They also lost to NRY, and TOR. The rest of their wins came against NSH(2), MON, SJS, NYI, OTT, STL. Lost to CGY, PHI. They play SEA and SJS twice each the next five games, so their record will likely get padded a bit more, but I see them coming down to earth after that.

[@JunkBondTrader]

I dunno, the way they are playing seems less like a fluke/streak to me as much as it is a truly cohesive team. Top 3 point leaders, Demko playing amazing, top defence, offence, all the lines chipping in. It's the qualities you see from a truly skilled team. The power play, penalty kill... It is similiar (so far) to the 2011 team, there's no significant weaknesses. But we'll see, it is still a bit too early, and yeah the schedule has been relatively easy this year so far, so who knows... It just doesn't _seem_ to be a temporary hot streak. Maybe they wont keep up this win %, but I would definitely make a bet that they will finish near the top at least, and a strong finish this year will build a lot of confidence going into the next season. One thing I can say for certain, they are a great team with tons of potential, and currently they are seeing that potential to the max.

He should have mentioned that it's a 3-way tie, especially since Matthews and Connor both had one fewer game at that point.

yeah well hockey is a game played on ice, with a loooong ass stick, and a tiny, bouncy little puck. It's the flukiest of all major sports. Any team can lose to any other team at any time. It's all about performance over time, and so far at least, Vancouver is still looking great in that regard, despite this loss.

[@jaatynytenkeli]

Imagine that, once the Sedin's go away, this team can actually be good 🤔

[@JunkBondTrader]

the 2011 Canucks team had one of the greatest seasons, statistically, ever in the NHL by any team. They led almost every major metric for forwards, defense, goaltending, special teams, player stats, GF, GA. So yeah, they were pretty good.
