It was a good run while it lasted. It is nice to see some of the players doing well. Marky was very good. Horvat had an excellent night. So did Edler. Good to see Pouliot stand up for Leipsic. And Goldy made some nice plays (and, as usual, some weak plays as well). But, like almost everyone else, I was hoping for a loss. And the Canucks could easily have lost tonight.. But Chicago had mediocre goaltending, while Marky was very good. Combine that with some bounces and the Canucks come away with a 5-2 win. Still, I expect things to go back to normal tomorrow against St. Louis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Position takes some time to develop. He is an NHL player - and one still developing. Possible to note he played a decent game while sticking up for teammates? Easier to say something mean? Scottie Upshall was a high first round pick and former CHL star...what's your point? No one wants Pouliot, he is a pretty horrible player and anyone with a set of eyes can see this...he is a bottom pairing D-man on a 30th placed team. Oh and by the way going by your position argument, Zach Bogosian was a high first round pick for the Jets, he now is a bottom pairing D-man on a 31st placed team, is almost a mirror-image of Gudbranson, another bottom pairing D_man who was a high first rounder. Granted I am in a bad mood tonight, but I could be having a night at the playboy mansion and would never say Pouliot was a good d-man. He may be a quality person, I don't know...but, yeah. I'd love to know what teams you think Pouliot would be a sure thing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting guess a while whole lot of elite players in the league that are north of 45 points need to retire in your mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come out once in a while hoping to trap something but rarely do, but it is entertaining to see them try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, I expect things to go back to normal tomorrow against St. Louis. Tonight was a reversal of sorts for Vancouver. Over the past three months they could have won at least 10 more games than they did but had mediocre goaltending and crap bounces. Those 10 wins would have them in a crap position (like Calgary) in terms of the draft and still out of the playoffs so in many ways, not having had those wins is a blessing for the future but you cannot outshoot (many nights) and outhit (most nights) teams consistently and lose all of the games.

He still turns the puck over but it's magnified, imo, because he's a young skilled guy. He is not the only Canuck to turn pucks over. flipside is he can make some elite plays and score. I'd like to see him start next year with a quality offensive line mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No toews so, it's like us without bo to a point. Both teams are so small at times, it's like a bunch of midgets down the yellow brick autobahn. You stand up for a guy dirty hit or not.

Hairy Kneel Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 The dog days of March. Our season has been over for a couple weeks now. Kind of depressing when a win feels like a loss. Playing out the string again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyoNami Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I insist that the minus button must return because of bertuzzi44. Anyways, good effort, good win! Hoping that even if we don't finish with a guaranteed top 4 pick we'll win the draft lottery! (Our luck has to give at some point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they retire - I hope so badly they make it official before the end of the year so we get the chance to celebrate them like they deserve in their final home game. It would feel lousy if they make the decision in Summer and that's it. Either way there will be more than a couple standing O's waiting for them.
