Lol, Hughes lying on his belly in the corner after feeding Bo, grinning as he watches him score the OT winner.
Nice pass Huggy!!
Yah that was priceless
Any word on Myers?
Yeah, I wonder what he was saying to Bozek?
I was actually worried when he stayed down after ducking the hit. Looked like he was wincing a bit.
I don't think anyone asked this yet but... any word on Myers?

If Myers can’t go is it Juolevi or Benn?
Probably Benn. The right side is the off side for both of them, but Benn played that side a lot in Montreal, and he is more physical. I can’t see Juolevi getting the call to play his off side. If Benn isn’t ready they probably go with Chatfield or less likely Rafferty.
Don't forget Phantomburger can also play the right side.
I could see them do that and bring in Juolevi, who looked good in the few minutes he played.
Benn joined the bubble late and has had what... ONE practice so far?
I doubt he's ready and I don't think Green trusts him much at the best of times.
Sportsnet Stats@SNstats -Bo Horvat --First player in Canucks history with a short-handed goal & OT goal in the same playoff game

“He's playing phenomenal right now. Last 3 games as good as I've seen him. I know he wasn't happy with his game in his first couple. The good thing with Bo is you can be honest with him... If anyone's made for playoff hockey it's Bo Horvat.“ - Green on Horvat
--------------------
“Anytime you're playing a team as good as St. Louis you're going to spend some time in your own zone. We had a few too many penalties called against us, but I've liked how we played in our zone.” - Green on Canucks defensive system
--------------------
“It was two good plays by two good players. Don't know how many guys can make the pass that Hughes could. He's one of those players that can make those quick stretch passes. I try to stay composed on the bench as much as I can. After a game like this you get a little excited. Guys stood up in front of me... I know it was a hell of a goal.” - Green on OT goal
-------------------
“I was pretty honest with them. If you would've told us we could go up 2-0 after game two in overtime we would've taken that before the series. The team knew what do in overtime, they knew how much it meant.” - Green on what he said during 3rd intermission
-------------------
“No update on Myers. He was unfit to play. I got no explanations on any of the calls tonight.“ - Green on Myers
-------------------
“Our guys are willing to sacrifice, they've shown it. It's not just the guys on the PK, it's anyone. You see Petey go down and block a shot. That's bleeding through our team, that sacrifice and resiliency. Every game is a teaching moment and they passed a hard test tonight.” - Green
Jeff Paterson@patersonjeff
asked Canucks Green if he got any explanation on the non-call on Blais for hit on Sutter.
'I didn't get an explanation on any calls tonight'

Was watching SN post game and prior to Flegms/Stars start. David Yellow claimed the refs ruled the Blues 3rd and game tying goal was ruled no goal on the ice. If true, it means the War Room in TO claimed irrefutable evidence of no high stick and over ruled the refs. I felt it was too close to call on the ice which means the original ruling on the ice stands.

Conspiracy.... shouldn’t have booed team canada... lol
To win in overtime like that after a debatable tying goal in the final seconds with the officials screwing them all night, is massive. First year captain Horvat set up by 20 year old rookie Quinn Hughes and you have Pettersson getting a couple points and game saving OT shot block and Boeser with two points. What a great looking present and future.I thought they played a great game as a team, better than some are saying, and the Blues added momentum as a result of the power plays being 6-3 affected the flow in the their favour as could be expected and made them look better than they actually were. Canucks aren't the least bit intimidated.
Just think, we're in Year 2 of post Sedins, Horvat's first year as captain, Petersson's 21 in his second season, Hughes is a 20 year old rookie, and Boeser is 23 in his third year, the young guys are leading the way in the playoffs already and the team has seven players at a PPG over the six games to date. We're just getting started folks.
