Nucker 67 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I actually wonder if getting STL would be a blessing in disguise, somehow. DAL looks fast. The way Hughes and Stecher tend to play at times, they get caught up ice, maybe try something too fancy and losing the puck. Luckily Hughes has good wheels and can get back, but against DAL, I see us getting burned with situations like this. Several breakaways against.

gizmo2337 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I didn't realize Bishop is banged up and not playing. They probably aren't going far without him. They are already down a goal, and it's only 5min in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuck2288 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 3 hours ago, Pete M said: that's the thing about a pack mentality....the zebras can't throw everyone in the box, so the pack can get their licks in, if they focus on getting their licks in, and not get penalized. Zebras usually only throw one player in the box... for example, Sutter got his lick in without getting penalized because he was part of the pack...and he was focused on getting his lick in (staying in the moment and living in the moment). A good ref will let a little street justice occur when they know it was a act to incite bad refs call the team that retributes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas on the other hand seems to play us really well. Of course playoffs are a whole different beast so who knows. Both present a huge challenge. But that’s what playoffs are all about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herberts Vasiljevs Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) I actually want us to play St. Louis because we've matched up better against them in the past. Everyone tells me I'm wrong but we shall see I guess. Edited August 9, 2020 by Herberts Vasiljevs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could easily argue Miller was driving the bus or Pettersson's play being inspirational or even Hughes. People put far too much importance on who wears the C. One doesn't need a letter on his chest to be a leader. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DeNiro Posted August 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2020 Love how we’ll be the underdogs either way. Right now we’re playing with house money. No one even thought we’d make the playoffs, and at one point it didn’t even look like the season would continue. Just enjoy the ride everyone. 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one even thought we’d make the playoffs, and at one point it didn’t even look like the season would continue. Just enjoy the ride everyone. Just what I was thinking... No pressure on the kids, except what they put on themselves. Canucks historically have been overachievers when underdogs and somehow crumble when favorites. We changed the narrative this year so far, as we were slight favorites coming into the wild series. Now going forward they can play free, have fun and learn. I like our odds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 This Stars - Blues game is pretty good. Neither team wants to meet us next, so they are playing hard to meet Calgary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you “could“, but I don’t think moving on from a player that Hughes feels is that important to the team is a good idea if we want continued success. I don’t see him asking for anything we couldn’t afford. I’m sure he wants to stay in Vancouver and be part of our future success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn, Seguin, Pavelski/Radulov, Klingberg, and Heiskenan are some serious weapons. Cant give those guys the opportunities we gave Minnesota. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're underdogs either way but we're better then the elite teams give us credit for right now IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Petey vs Binnington could be a fun round one storyline. Binnington obviously won the cup but still be fun. I dislike Dallas tho so bring them on lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
