It is a short series and if Minny gets very few power plays and the Canucks shut them down, they could get that PK %.  Stats in such a short series could be skewed badly for the good or for the bad. So it is easily doable.

My money is on Edler. Hooking, tripping or holding is my guess. The can’t keep up variety. 

Betting on Edler's usual holding call. That guy really can't figure that part of his game out looooool He always seems so shocked to get called too, even though it's such an easy call to make. Every time.

Every time I've seen Edler play the first game of the playoffs, he has turned into an absolute beast. If he does take a penalty, it will be for ending Koivu (the 2nd time a Swedish Canucks D-man will have done so).

 

It's too bad his body can't keep that pace up longer than the first game though. It's quite impressive.

What did the Elephant say to the naked man?

 

“how do you breathe outa that thing” 

How do you catch an Elephant?

 

Dig a big, deep hole big enough for an elephant to fall into,

Line the bottom of the hole with ashes,

then place little green peas all the way around the edge of the hole,

then go and hide in the bushes....

 

when the elephant comes to take a pea, you jump out of the bushes and kick him in the ash hole.

That could be the best healthy scratched 5th line I've ever seen.

 Yep.   And if they all play then whomever else sits out would also create a good fourth line on any team in the league.   Who would have thought our 2019-2020 would end up as one of the deepest middle six teams we’ve had in 50 years?    Too bad LE wasn’t still a 30-30 guy.  If he was the top six would be up there too.
