Who does this kind of thing on a Canucks site? What sort of bastard applauds the opponents' efforts? That would be me. I love hockey and can appreciate some sweet plays when I see them. Now, this took a lot of time and effort. I give much praise to nucksandpucks for putting together the Top 10 Canucks Goals Of The 2010-11 Season. But a few things I realized from watching all the highlights to bring you this Top 10 list: 1. Ehrhoff was a mixed bag of good and evil. 2. Roberto Luongo made a buttload of tremendous saves last season. I'm tempted to make a Top 10 of those. Cory Schneider was terrific as well, of course. Hello Jennings trophy! 3. The Canucks scored a lot of highlight reel goals. Their opponents did not. My short list for the top 10 contained 23 plays. That was it. And I wasn't even being biased. 4. The beauty plays by our opponents got better as the year went on, generally.
OK, here are my top 10 picks....
10. Brad Richards has enough time to have a sub and then score on this play but I really like how he executed. Slapper fake = gold. However, the Stars would lose this game 7- (effing) 1. (January)
9. Mikael Grabovski with a solo effort to tie the game at 3. Leafs still lose. (November):
8. Troy Brouwer turns Christian Ehrhoff onto a pylon (November):
7. Jordan Eberle, when he's not getting destroyed by Raffi Torres, is one heck of a hockey player. Here he drags the puck and plays the patience game on Roberto Luongo and buries it (December):
6. Alexander Steen, who loves playing against the Canucks for some damned reason, looks like a modern day Jaromir Jagr on this one (December):
5. Corey Perry ties the game on a solid Ducks passing play (October):
4. Here's a sweet goal by Patrick Berglund of the Blues (February), but geez, that Alex Pieterangelo guy does all the work:
3. Mikael Backlund strips the puck from another Mikael and buries it (March). What an effort.
2. Torrey Mitchell pulls a Denny Savard on this goal (March)...assisted by Wellwood, haha. But who noticed? What an effort by Mitchell and fail by the Canucks' collective defence.
1. What is it with the Ducks scoring beauty goals against the Canucks? Good Lord. Teemu Selanne threaded the needle to Jason Blake on a goal in this game that could have made the list, but on this play Ryan Getzlaf freezes Cory Schneider on then makes a no-look pass to Bobby Ryan. Wow. This is my pick for best goal scored against us last season. Ducks would win that game 4-3.

That goal by Ryan is pretty sweet
But instead of Torrey Mitchell( well, maybe not the Mitchell one, thats pretty sick too,but, someone!) , I like this one from Logan Couture instead…such a nice move in close, where it gets tougher to make the goalie look foolish like he did.
Hell, Lui was in great position to the shot, just…damn.

I’m not even going to talk about the playoffs. But Couture had a beauty during the regular season as well, which is the goal I was referring to.

Oh
Didn’t know it was a reg season only thing.
That one on the steal, yeah, it was good, but kinda opportunistic on a pretty bad play be the defenseman, Ehrhoff I think. Lui actually did well to get the first save!

Not a Ducks fan
but man, both the goals by them are damn nice looking
a ginger ball hockey player... no wonder I'm a Canucks fan
ever get the feeling that a Ducks-Canucks playoff matchup would be stroke-inducing?

A little self deprecation
Is good for keeping you sane!

Totally. I’d be happy to see this same kind of collection for the Sharks. Every once in a while somebody does something incredible against your team and all you can do is say: “fuuuuuuuuuck….”
Those are great moments.

some sweet goals.
man is getzlaf ever a beauty. He made both those goals easy ones for Perry and Ryan. That was a pretty sweet clapper by Grabovski as well.

Great post Sean.
I’m partial to the Torrey Mitchell goal. Makes fools of our D, stick handles around everyone…..pretty great. And the Backlund goal is nice. I like those goals that appear to succeed based on sheer force of will.
Speaking of the Sharks, anyone else bummed that the Cali road trip this year is just after Christmas? My sis and I were planning to follow the team down this year, after seeing the footage from last year, but Christmas time is just too chaotic. Boo urns.
This year.
Nice post Sean!
My favourite part was remembering some games I’d forgotten about, many of which I watched hunkered in my bedroom late at night cheering and ranting on the NM game threads! Starting to get pretty fired up for October…
