POSTCAST: The Montreal Screwjob & the TRUTH about Pettersson and Kane | Canucks Lose To Canadiens

The Canadiens erased an early two-goal deficit to defeat the Canucks 4–3 at Rogers Arena. Ivan Demidov led Montreal with a goal and two assists. Nick Suzuki extended his point streak to nine games with a power-play goal. For Vancouver, Elias Pettersson recorded a goal and two assists, while Conor Garland added a goal + assist. Montreal’s comeback really took off in the third period, with goals from Juraj Slafkovsky, Mike Matheson and Demidov sealing the win. 🔍 Key Takeaways Vancouver jumped out to a strong start (2-0 lead) but couldn’t sustain it. The Canadiens methodically turned the tide in the final period. Defensively, the Canucks had moments of success but allowed Montreal to dictate the pace late—especially with special teams being decisive. Offensively, though Pettersson and Garland produced, Vancouver lacked consistency across lines when the pressure mounted. 🎯 What This Means For Vancouver The Canucks have now lost three straight games. They can’t afford to drop momentum so early. They need to dig into what allowed the third-period collapse—whether it’s shift management, defensive communication, or fatigue. They showed flashes of structure and skill, but continuity and closing ability are still lacking. Pettersson’s multi-point night is a positive sign, but he—and the team—must build on it, not rest on it. Join Kyle's Discord: https://discord.gg/am9vJJPqej Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LOCanucks?sid=... Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Gametime Today's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
