I did the exact same with hoglanders second lol
Garland has the most decorative name in the NHL, and a celebration to match!

Guy has been unsung hero this year. Quietly he is just a monster out there. Fast, wirey, tough to contain, tenacious on the boards. What a player
Nils second goal has got to be one of the nicest snipes ive seen all season.
no goalie can stop goals that tight...must be tuff on the ego
Demko is UNBELIEVABLE! That was one of the best third periods he’s had in his life
He was a beast tonight
I thought it was a pretty bad game for him overall.

Those two goals from Nylander were stoppable.
@@nobuddy2012 big time
Canucks are a complete team. Lot's of depth and they ain't relying too much on their top players to get on board.
It's been fun, but they still need more. Another strong RHD, and a center if they want to stack the first line. More importantly though they still need to focus more. They can't have 2nd periods like that. It was terrible. This game should have been locked down after the 3-0 lead. They still lack the discipline and killer instinct the 11 team had.
They were out played tonight. By miles really. What are you talking about man.
Actually no. The 2nd line is doing nothing. Thank god line 3 and 4 is going good.
@user-sx3xp4gn4t lol score couldve been 6-3. Delusional much?. Canucks beat leafs 4 out of 5 times if they played the next 5 games.
@@user-sx3xp4gn4tlmao outplayed in the second period maybe but they dominated the leafs in the first
2:55 not gonna lie, that's a sick celly from Garland.
I was thinking the same dude. Before tonight my favourite celly was the OG Patrick Kane, but now it’s that Conor Garland stick spin
he channelled Tiger Williams.
He has style doesn't he? Not surprised that he ended up getting the First Star tonight. His line was lightning.
Most years, I'd have flipped out as a Canucks fan when the score got to 3-3 and 4-4. Nowadays, I'm zen because either my Canucks will pull through somehow like they have all season long or I'm just going to feel like a sloppy game from the boys was overdue and feel no pain at all. What a change a single year can bring !
It would be nice not to blow a lead though lol but end result is nice
And we don't really feel we have to win things this year, the team has a 3 year window or even 4, as long as the big guns re-sign. No pressure.
Tocchet settled them down at 3-3. Domi decided to stick it to his own team at 4-4 with a stupid penalty for which he should have been benched for the remainder.
@@shlock1459 Leafs are still a good team though, this game was always gonna be tight. They aren't losing 8-0. You just hope they wouldn't make it as close as they did.
I come here to get a few glimpses of Åman. He used to play for my favorite team in Sweden and I've followed this kid from his first senior game to first SHL game, first points, world juniors, world cup and ultimately to the NHL. I can't watch the games but seeing him get more confidence and ice time and appearing more frequently in the highlights makes me unreasonably proud. LTJD✨
I hope he will develop in the way Höglander has. He was seen as a bust just last season by some, and now he have blossomed into a really great player with a lot of potenial. I hope Åman and him can keep on playing together and growing together.

Blueger's and Aman's lines were the difference tonight for the Canucks. Energy, speed and tenacity. Garland and Hoglander were beasts. And despite 4 goals against them, Demko made the stops when he had to. Demko and DeSmith each give the Canuck's a chance to win every night. What a transformation this team has gone through! Everyone is pulling on the same rope. 💪
I’m not a fan of either team but I love what the Canucks have done this season. Hardly anybody predicted them to be this good. Hope they make it to the Cup finals

Fantastic display of how the team game works in a system designed around, well, winning. As a Canucks fan from a far away time, this team is a wonderful evolution. They aren't the least bit intimidated or awed by the opponent, they just gather their tools and go to work. Good game, boys. Nice work, Coach.

Demko good job for being impenetrable wall in the 3rd period especially when was 6 on 3! This is the best Canucks team ever 🥰
I’m still going with the 94 team but only because of Bure, and a little more toughness in that team. Lots of big tough but capable players. This year’s canucks will get pushed around physically during the playoffs. That said, the current team has a better third line so perhaps more depth.
Need the whole team connected with puck passing, Even Linden was good too, but this year God connected the Xbox controller and is playing as the Canucks @@shizuokaBLUES
The Canucks were the best team in 1994
@@shizuokaBLUES Not only Bure. Trevor Linden was the best captain ever
Calm down. This team hasn't done anything yet. It's ALL about the playoffs. If they don't go deep into the playoffs, regular season mean NOTHING.
Great game, Vancouvers 3-4th lines scoring were the difference.
Its amazing what depth scoring can do for a team.
Leafs third and fourth are garbage. Canucks third and fourth are responsible and chip in goals. Curious to see if this carries into the playoffs. Demko will have to be sharp, but they have won low scoring games so not out of the question at all.
No, Demko was the reason...all alone.
One of the most exciting games I’ve seen this season. Canucks really showed their character here.
Nice to see the points coming for Garland. He was playing the exact same way at the beginning of the year but wasn't getting the bounces.
Seems like getting Joshua and Bleuger on a line with him was what he needed. Garland's been living up to his name with pretty plays that decorate the highlight reals with lots of garlands!
hes played this way since arriving in Van years ago, most fans are blind and quick to criticize when the team is losing, just like with Miller.
I would beg to to differ. He has always had skill but wasn't funneling to the net. He would spin on the outside, hold on to the puck too long then get crushed. This year not only is he taking the puck to to the net he actually has decent guys to pass to. Happy for him too.
Hockey night in Canada.. Canucks HOME game and they bench the best play by play announcer in the league and instead give us the leafs fanboy color guy. You wonder why people hate on the leafs.
Toronto in general. 4pm start pees me off.

Rare moment to see hughes lose his composure like that. Demko and the team brought it back baby
That was a very telling moment showing the mindset of both teams. How many of the Leafs do you think would have been doing that after blowing a 3 goal lead?
@@riffgroove Yeah fair enough. I know its not the best emotion to show but its nice to see him show anything to get the boys buzzin
Vancouver is too physical for the leafs. Although out shot, the leafs were out played two periods. And couldn't overcome Vancouver's physical play.
The Leafs are a team of pansies. When the going gets tough, they quit.
A lot of teams are too physical for the Leafs..
I kept thinking how polite the leaf's Giodarno was, he reminded me of old time gentlemen at a ballroom's excuse me dance!!
Keefe is too soft on the team. We need the team to be much tougher and much more physical. This is why we need guys like Simmonds and Clifford out as enforcers.
It's usually the other way around for the Canucks being physically outplayed, for example against a team as Vegas. But the way Canucks is playing now is a shocker for everyone in the league.
Nice to see Garland's line get some rewards for all the hard work they do. Many games they dominate the zone time and energy, but pucks dont go in for them. Great to see we have several good lines.

Demko didn't bring his A game until the last 5 to 10 minutes in the third. Third and fourth lines played well. I am not even sure why people called the Suter-Kuzmenko-Mikheyev line the second line. It is increasingly clear to me that Suter, while a capable player, is not the right center for the two Russians. (You can say the two wingers are not the right fit for Suter.) My guess is that Tocchet wants Suter and Mikheyev to cover Kuzemko's defensive shortcomings. Something is going to give. Once you get into the playoffs (and hopefully before that), that line got to get going.
Kind of poetic that the Canucks skaters were able to bail Demco out with enough goals to overcome a bad 2nd period, given that's what Demco does for the skaters so many nights.
Suter is a very good center. Not game breaking but reliable and makes very few mistakes. However, he's dragged down by the 2 Russians. Even Petey wasn't able to get Mikheyev+Kuzmenko going when he was on their line.
For every 10 Grade A chances Mikheyev gets, he might convert just one. He's fast and works hard but can't put the puck in the net when it matters.
The Canucks are said to be looking for another top-6 forward, so this problem might get sorted by a trade or even bringing somebody up from Abbotsford.
Leafs played well offensively, as a 'Nucks fan I'm just glad they can't defend, like at all.
They have easily the worst D/goaltending combo in the entire league besides maybe Chicago. Hell even San Jose has better tending they just have AHL level D, like the leafs.
The leafs out played the cucks. By miles. Literally by miles.
@@shoresy4084forget the D/goalies. Did you see the back check on Van’s 3rd goal? 2 forwards lazily changed while Nylander gave his man a free lane to the net. Zero F’s given by this team.
I don't think this game was a good example of that though. The canucks won this game with the PP. They weren't doing a lot 5v5 and it was kind of disappointing they didn't control the game better after the 3 - 0 lead. It really wasn't a very good game for them.
Leafs won't make the Playoffs despite Matthews scoring 50 goals and Marner getting 100 points. They have the worst D/goal combo.
What a game to be at had playoff atmosphere ! was lowkey stressful! Good penalty kill , Demko came up big in the third despite giving up some soft ones in the 2nd and Hoglander is a beast don’t trade him!
WOW dude.... how much were your tix?
14 goals a new season high for Hoglander. He should get 20+ goals this year
Great cellies from Garland!🔥

Oh and I can't forget a very important piece, the Vezina type starter and excellent backup! Canucks fans should be feeling good and optimistic as they have a team built for the playoffs.

Demco looked like he struggled a bit in the middle frame, but the 18 guys in front of him did what he's done so many times this year and bailed him out and Demco shut the door when the game was on the line in the 3rd. And Garland is at it again, decorating the Leaf's net with a garland of pucks!
It's a team sport. The more cohesive team won
He got screened bad on the first one.
bro its literally demko not demco
Demko stopped 44 of 48 shots and it still was not one of his better games
🥶ice in his veins...
I disagree. It was a same good game for Demko, he let in one goal he should’ve stopped, and that was the Nylander shot from the blue line.
one of demkos weakest games this year. yet he still went .913%. i guess we are just used to demkos greatness. demgoat still winning a vezna this year
That first goal he didn't even see.
Matthews probably losing even more hair tonight over that loss.
doubt it. he looked totally disinterested. He usually does, unless he scores then its all good. He missed 3 open net chances in the 3rd. whew.

@@griggbaylee5808you're right

I've been around a while- all the way back to remember the days when the Canucks played in the pacific coliseum. That being said, I don't think I've ever seen a lineup this dominant and confident in their abilities. I have a level of excitement for this team and franchise I haven't felt since the 90s.

We could even decide on which goalie to run in game 7.

Canucks are the biggest surprise of the season (so far at least) for me. I'm an Oilers fan, but I don't think that the Canucks will be caught for first place. Maybe an Oilers/Canucks semi-final. That would be good. 🙂
scary.... I'm a Nucks fan first and always but the Oil are my close back up. How can one not love watching McDavid and #29? It will be scary for any team if the Oil get in. However, the Oilers are running hot and red-lining right now which makes them more prone injury or peaking too early.
@@nameless_no_name Well, they needed to get hot, just to get into a playoff position. I'm not sure that I agree that playing hard makes you more prone to injury. Sitting back may be worse. But, I doubt that they can keep going at this pace for the rest of the season. But they certainly got their confidence back, and I doubt they would lose it, even with a few bad games, if that happens.
@@my3dviews Certainly red-lining can be hazardous. Seasoned vets will say you cannot go 100% for the entire season ect. Ken Holland was known for resting Stevie Y and Lidstrom giving days off in March when they locked their post season position. A good example is Markstrom. If he plays 60 games, he is one of the best goalies in the world. If you over play him, he breaks down. We got Zadorov to assist with D relief so Hughes and Hronick could ultimately reduce their minutes. Redlining can physically and emotionally wear a guy out and grind him down and make him prone to injury
@@nameless_no_name I could see the Oilers resting some of their top guys if they have secured a playoff position, but it is too early to do that. What I like about the Oilers lately, is that it is more of a full team effort, rather than the two obvious players getting all (or almost all) of the goals. Hyman especially is playing the best hockey of his career lately.
@@my3dviews I would like to see if Kane will be more of a factor. The biggest concern we see is Skinner. For peripheral Oil fans, the weak link is potentially Skinner. I think there will need to be an insurance policy attained in a trade. Some say he is over-achieving.
Most of those Leafs goals were just easy mistakes. Not worried whatsoever about the score being close here. I'm really liking this Garland guy. Seems to have drive and grit to get the job done. Reminds me of Burrows kinda

Cheers to Canucks coaching staff. Team playing the whole ice. Full efforts even on days when everything doesn't gel. I thought last two previous years they had burned Demko out and were at risk of same with Boeser and Petey. But the whole org turnaround is magnificent.
Everytime the Leafs come to town the game is at 4PM, defeats the purpose of home ice advantage. Then you have to listen to the homers on the broadcast (especially Simpson). So it was fun watching them lose..

@@alexe606 I thought the Domi one was also a bad call, due to Leafs players suffering the same strength of cross-checks across the game and nothing being called. But yes, tripping was the only one that was actually a penalty
@@peacebringer8 That's fair, but the powerplays at the time we're 5-1 in favour of the Leafs, so can't expect to get the calls. I'd still put the blame on Domi instead of the Ref, can't be doing that in a tie game in the 3rd, especially after Marner just tied the game.
@@alexe606 oh, definitely. Leafs PP and PK have been horrible xD 0 for 5 is horrendous. You'd expect at least 2 on 5, or the very least 1, and the game would have played differently. But imo, that's on the coaching staff. They always do the same plays on the PP unless they get desperate and start dumping pucks as if there's no tomorrow. Looks like the players don't know where to be at any time during the PK, they look lost on all goals against. And the PP is like expecting different results by doing the same thing over and over again
we need the skate full time for the playoff march, like how LA switched in 12
Yeesh... Jones & the Leafs D was BRUTAL tonight. Demko was solid in net.
Holy Moly. Someone needs a goalie.
Also defensemen.
It's not just the goalie; the Leafs have soft defence in general.
While they could use a Goalie, tonight was NOT a goaltending problem for the Leafs. It's their swiss cheese defense.
@@jasonjansen9831yeah but even when the Canucks defence is off, you can count on Demko to bail you out 8 times out of 10.
@@emperoralvis6559 Agreed, Canucks would not be where they are in the standings without Demmer
Toronto is the definition of a soft team
More like lunch bag let down.
Always has been.
Garland , doing awesome
