2-0 against the top team in the Western Conference doesn't look so bad. Johansen, Georgiev Lead Avalanche To Big Win Over Canucks https://t.co/NgVMr2N7PO
#Canucks played well tonight, really well, but the Avs got the bounce + that’s the difference. Game in Seattle on Thursday now looms large. And it’s a tough one given that the Kraken will be rested and VAN will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights (and 8th game in 13 days(!)).
#Canucks with much better effort in Colorado but lose 3 games in a row for the 1st time this season, solid debut by Arshdeep Bains. Lots to talk about on Donnie and Dhali tomorrow. 10am-noon CHEK TV @DonnieandDhali
That’s a nice win for the Avalanche. Canucks were on second half of a back-to-back, but didn’t really look like it. Fun hockey game.
The result, however the end game plays out, shouldn’t obscure a really impressive #Canucks defensive performance tonight. MacKinnon line had 2 sick shifts early, but has been contained since. Avalanche haven’t found anything off the rush. No space out there to make plays.
#Avs have 13 shot attempts on two power plays in this game. Canucks had two on their one opportunity.
Avalanche threw their fastball in the second period and carried play, but for the most part, the #Canucks have stood in well tonight. Solid bounce back performance from Monday's nightmare third period in St. Paul.
This has been a great game, and it’s also flying by, unlike the matchup the other night. Avs PP hasn’t connected but it’s generated a lot of chances.
1-1 after 40 minutes. Best case scenario for the Canucks on a back-to-back. Avs look great but can't get much past Demko
#Avs are 0-for-2 on the power play tonight, but the chances have been plentiful.
#Avs had a great start to this game and then some real struggles with the puck after that. The pace of this game has been high ... maybe that favors them later, but the Canucks also have a lot to do with the turnovers and general disjointed-ness at times.
Avs draw a penalty. They were 0-for-4 against Arizona but had tons of opportunities. Canucks gave up 4 PPGs on 6 chances yesterday in Minnesota.
The #Canucks dropped back-to-back games, including giving up 10 goals to the Wild on Monday. @CraigJButton joins @7ElevenCanada That's Hockey to dissect both losses and discuss how Vancouver might respond against the Avs: https://t.co/YlfNqoaeXh #7ElevenThatsHockey https://t.co/lsIA7U3IQ2

#Canucks have done a terrific job of bouncing back from losses all season. Tonight's a different beast given opponent, back to back & altitude. Looking to see if team can show discipline and control things it can control https://t.co/E4r8RLwEo7
Avs play the Canucks tomorrow. They'll be rebounding from whatever the hell just happened in Minnesota (game isn't over so who knows how it ends🤷♂️) https://t.co/qo6KrtTcDr
