Am I still on the clock for the next game?

A few comments;
Habs are bigger faster and more aggressive than Vancouver (sans Miller), a fun team to watch and the atmosphere in whatever they call the Forum these days is amazing (even through the TV screen).
Habs speed neutralized the Vancouver forecheck and and created havoc with their own forecheck.
Thirty minutes of solid hockey won't win games and will rarely get a loser point.
Hughes, skating 75%, puck handling 70%, shooting MIA and still on another level than any other D in the line up. Quinn was avoiding contact as much as possible.
Waiting for Friedland to call pump and dump on Miller.
Miller, big hit early in the first to wake up the Canucks after they'd been on the receiving end of it for the first 10 minutes. Showing he is a beast.
We have seen overly moody Miller before, he was that way for the 2020/21 season. A sulking, gate slamming, stick breaking, lazy back checking, turnover funk machine. He turned it around in his contract season.
Sushi gets rolled but is still damn fine.

That Caulfield kid has a nice release.
Hopefully sushi boy can mimick it moving forward.

This is true of more than a few opponents. One more reason why a trade with Buffalo that sent scooter out and brought Cozens back would be something to pursue.....Cozens @ 6'3" 200lbs is a way better skater than Pettersson, and clearly outclasses him in the muscle department.

Do you think he was moody and sulking last night,or just trying to keep a lid on shit? I only caught the last 25 minutes, but his play seemed focus even though his outward emotions were subdued. Even on the goals he scored it was more a sense of, "fuck it, lets get this season on track and get the job done boys" than one of disinterest or brooding.

I missed most of the game, was our goaltending and issue or more of our D?
Even getting Hronek back won’t fix the problem back there as RT usually plays those 2 together doesn’t he?

It'll push Juulsen out of the lineup
