I've definitely supported Green, and I acknowledge that he has way more information than we do, but who in their right mind leaves off a 20goal scorer in a playoff series?! 

Let alone a 30 goal scorer.  Heard somewhere that in his career, 69% of Eriksson's goals have been from within 6 feet of the blue paint.  So not only is he our best PK forward,  but prolly one of the few players we have who will take up position beside the goalie and absorb the punishment that entails.  (And, yes. Jake is another. - when he sticks his fat ass in the goalie's face he is hard to dislodge)

I'd sit Gaud and the Rooster this game in exchange for Virt and Louie.   Maybe even replace Pearson with Big Mac for a game.  It's a must win game.  Of the 59 playoff matchups in a 5 game series where one team has won the first 2 games, 58 times they have won the series.

I think I have to be better as a fan too. 

 

I'm only giving like 100%.. could up that a bit . 

Gonna have to turn it up to 11.

 

I as a fan could do better too. I didnt put out any flags or memorabilia.

I wore a Nux tshirt and jersey, but I was lacking in the flair dept... didnt wear any of 4 canucks hats, or my wrist bands, or my Canucks socks... not even my slippers.

 

That was wrong of me. I'll do better tomorrow

Must win. Nux said.

I’ve been a Green supporter since day 1. 
But if he puts in Rousell over Virtanen again in game 2, I’m jumping the fence and joining the fire Green team.  

The kid needs to be in.  His game is built for the playoffs.   Let him loose.  

 

Sutter surprised me last game. He was one of our better forwards. I’d have him with Ferland and Jake. Take out Gaudette and move Rousell to the 4th line or replaced with Mac. This game is do or die.

Here’s the lineup I’d like to see for Game 2:

Forwards

Miller-Pettersson-Boeser

Ferland-Horvat-Virtanen

Pearson-Sutter-Toffoli

Motte-Beagle-Eriksson

 

-Reunite Petey and Brock. 

-Time to unleash Jake. 
-Reunite Pearson and Toffoli. Gaudette looked lost in Game 1. Need Sutter for face offs. 

-We need Eriksson on the Penalty Kill to help shutdown Minnesota’s Power Play that lit us up on Sunday. 

Defense

Hughes-Tanev

Edler-Stecher

OJ-Myers
 

-OJ played well against Winnipeg and Fantenburg was a bit of an adventure in Game 1.

In Net

Markstrom

 

-Played decent but needs to lock it down for us to have a chance. No more softies. 
 

Go Canucks Go! 

That’s probably not going to happen because it makes too much sense.

[Dumb Nuck]

A bit late but no time like the present:

 

Fire Green!

Didn’t look good for Winnipeg or Edmonton after game 1, but they got the job done. Canucks certainly can too.

And Winnipeg's all the more impressive, doing it without their 2 leading scorers

Neither Calgary nor Chicago's top 4 d is remotely comparable to minnys, imo

They both have better offences though. And Chicago has a much better goalie than Minny.
 

And Canucks really have a much better defence and offence (considering injuries) than Winnipeg. The horses are there, they just need to run.

Free Jake...

Nope, Minny scored more goals than either team, though marginally.

All these people demanding Jake goes in. I am not disagreeing, but perhaps Green knows something you don't? Maybe he isn't in game shape? He didn't exactly have any amount of jump in camp.

 

...just saying...

People keep saying "maybe he knows something fans don't". Maybe Green is just an idiot. If we're gonna go down the "maybe" rabbit hole.

Maybe. Though one has to wonder if that was true how he managed to remain in coaching so long...
