Carol Schram: Canucks come out of Covid pause with overtime win over the Maple Leafs Bo Horvat scored twice, including the overtime winner, and Braden Holtby played his best game in a Vancouver uniform as the Canucks overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-2 in overtime in their first game back after a major Covid-19 outbreak swept through the team.

Great article as always Carol.

Thanks Carol. It was definitely one of the more entertaining games of the year.

It was good to see some hockey played again.
Good on the boys for pulling out the win, despite all the obstacles.

TML goalie is trash.

I didn't watch the whole game, but saw the PK that led to the knee on knee.
I agree fatigue definitely played a role, however Edler is a repeat offender.
I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a game.

I can't remember if it was that PK or the Edler major, but at one point Myers just stretched out and laid down in front of Holtby.
Part exhaustion, part Myers defensive approach

Not within the context of DOPS. He doesn't have any recent suspensions...:

Edler doesn’t have any recent history with the player department of player safety.

He was suspended twice by the NHL in 2013 – receiving a three-game ban for an illegal check to Tomas Hertl’s head and a two-game ban for charging Mike Smith – and earned a four-game suspension from the IIHF for a knee-on-knee hit on Eric Staal during the 2013 world hockey championship.

I think he'll get a game to skip the next TO game. That's all.

I'd be crapping my pants going into the playoffs with the Goalies they have.

The last time he was suspended was 8 years ago.. don't think that's the definition of a "dirty player" from those TO fans

Same.

It's like wasting McDavid and Drai with goaltenders like Smith, Koskinen and Talbot

He's no Nazim Kadri, that's for sure

Bieska with the truth.

Or Naslund, Bertuzzi et al with Cloutier?

Kudos to the Canucks for scraping out a win. Holtby was unbelievably good and also unbelievably lucky at times.
I don't think Edler is a dirty player but he will get a couple of games for the knee on knee hit.
Please make the playoffs because there is no way you will win a 7 game series and I would like the Canucks as a first round matchup.

It was knee on knee but Edler didn't stick his leg out. He was just gliding in with a wide stances. If Hyman doesn't try and avoid the hit. It is a body check but he tried to get out of the way. No way it should be a game.

Well done scum buckets. Last nice words ever

Hyman deserves at least 2 games for trying to take Edler's knee out.

How sure are you of this?

So the Leafs are Daniel Caruso in this analogy?
