I don’t think this game followed any blueprints the Canucks coaching staff drew up at morning practice.

The Canucks got outplayed in this one. Probably should have lost, if we’re being honest.

Yet somehow the Canucks got five goals on the night.

Goals went in off of feet, off of Flames sticks, and hell, even Henrik Sedin got a goal.

Yes, Henrik Sedin shot the puck, ladies and gentlemen, bringing his season total from seven shots to eight.

It would be oh so easy to write this game off as a fluke. To dive into how unsustainable that kind of play and output is over the long term.

It would be true, too. You don’t want to see the Canucks play like this all the time. The Flames were absolutely dominating the Canucks at 5-on-5.

The defence struggled on the night. Biega had a particularly bad game. Hutton and Gudbranson had their own issues at times.

It was such a weird night that even Chris Tanev looked human in his own zone for once.
