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! 

The support to bring Loui back into the lineup is shocking. 2020 is really a weird year.

He deserves it more than Virtanen does.

I made a dream last night;

 

Green told some players that I might be fired if I don't make change of the lineup in Game 2.

Jake, you promise to score 1, I will put you in second line.  If promise 2, I will put you in the top line.

Jake replied, I should score 3, what line I will play.

 

My wife suddenly wake me up, and I don't know Green's answer.

Anyone could help to find out what line Jake should in.

He should be traded to Edmonton.

I've been in support of what Loui brings to the table (cap aside). It's just weird to see that people are pushing for it after all the vitriol sent his way.

 

Similarly to Jake, after years and years of some posters running him down, the spin now seems to be that he would be a key piece in righting this ship.

 

Also for OJ as well. There's just so much positive talks about him in the last couple of weeks to the point where he's viewed as a potential boost for us in this series. It's very unusual given the talks of him over the past season and beyond.

 

All these "hated" players are now the guys the Green needs to play or he's supposedly an "idiot". Go figure.

[-DLC-]

Just win for crying out loud.

 

I can't take much more misery.

It's mostly just different posters being vocal.  I've been frustrated, but have never not liked Jake, and I've never doubted OJ.  I sure as hell don't want LE in the lineup though.

Pearson and Gaudette sit. My personal lines are:

 

Ferland Pettersson Miller

Toffoli Horvat Boeser

Roussel Sutter Virtanen

Motte Beagle MacEwen

 

Hughes Tanev

Edler Myers

Fantenberg Stecher

 

Markstrom

 

 

Unleash Ferland, Virt and MacEwen - give them license to create havoc.

Putting Ferland on the first line will give him a lot more minutes and influence on the game.

Horvat's line becomes more offensive orientated with Toffoli instead of Pearson.

Roussel and Virtanen speedy duo and high energy on 3rd line

Big Mac crushing hits and speed on 4th.

 

PP1:

Boeser Horvat Petterson

Ferland Hughes

 

PP2:

Toffoli Miller Virtanen

MacEwen Myers

 

PK1:

Beagle Motte

Edler Myers

 

PK2:

Roussel Sutter

Fantenberg Tanev

If you have chemistry you'll be split up. Petey, stop asking! You're not getting Boeser >:(

[PetterssonOrPeterson]

Funny how people are criticizing Green for not putting in Virtanen as if they know everything that happened behind the scenes. Lol. So suddenly TG has a vendetta towards Jake?

 

The guy came to camp out of shape, unprepared and spent the quarantine clubbing. 
 

That’s your saviour right there.

 

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised at the typical overreaction in highly sensitive canuck nation.

[Hairy Kneel]

Even Bailey's speed would be great to see. See how they like it.  Chasing a speedy bigger guy. Hey Big Mac too.

 

[Junkyard Dog]

If there are positive lineup changes then I like our chances.

[Hairy Kneel]

The boys aren't getting much help from the bench so they have to go do it themselves.  Time for some heart and soul, line to line, D to D. They got to help Marky too. He's getting that one soft goal again so someone has to match it.Marky deserves the support. They can combat Minny's system with effort. And a will to win. Bo can wear a 16 tshirt under that uni. Punch someone through the glass.

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

 

https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2020.html

By “offense”, I meant forward groups.

 

On paper, Minny’s forwards are weakest of the playoff teams, especially after trading Zucker. But they got 31 goals this season from their defensemen, including career highs from Hunt (8) and Soucy (7). For Soucy, it was a major fluke - he’s only scored that many goals once at any level (AMHL).

 

I also tend to think that The Wild got a bump from switching coaches (which tends to wear off), and a lucky goal streak from Fiala, who has scored 10 goals in 13 games since Evanson took over (63-goal pace). Not to mention Spurgeon, with 7 goals in the same period (44-goal pace). Both good players, but not THAT good.

[Nuxfanabroad]

Misery?! Poor Jake is feelin like James Caan, tied up(by TG) in the care of the attentive, Kathy Bates!

 

C'mon Tuna, everyone has a good book in them...

[Boudrias]

Vancouver has to play the Minny d-core heavier. This is where they can win the series. It is obvious that Minny thinks their game has to be the same way. They can beat Van by hitting their 'd' and throwing the Van game plan into the trash. That said I thought the Canucks did a decent job breaking up ice. I am not as negative on the effort that many fans seem to be. Add a heavier body like Jake into the mix and crowd the Minny net. It should work. 

[Nicklas Bo Hunter]

play juolevi over fanta

[canuck2288]

So almost every team has made adjustments with success this play in season

 

if we pull the same old tonight and lose lookout because the knives will be out
