Exactly so basically they would rather rest the starter vs “risk” playing the Canucks 

 

either way they don’t fear playing us 

 

perhaps we use this fact as motivation 

Big mistake if they think it'll be easy against a team like that! 

[canuck2288]

It’s maddening how many people on here are happy with making it this far 

 

I sure hope the Canucks don’t play with that attitude 

 

play to win it all not because it’s a “learning” experience

Would you put in your backup in a game where losing meant you had to play a team that scared the crap out of you?

 

thought so 

 

fact 

 

Thought so? You never got an answer from me.

 

It depends on who you think the backup is. St Louis is more of a 1A and 1B goalie type of team.

 

Binnington has played twice the games, but has lesser numbers than Jake Allen during the season. Allen's 0.927 vs Binnington's 0.912 save percentage.

 

Binnington played the first 2 round robin games. He played horribly in the second one against Vegas, so they went with Jake Allen against Dallas.

How many games did Allan play during last year’s Cup run 

 

no such thing as 1 and 1A in the playoffs. That concept does not exist 

 

they wanted us, deal with it

Fair comment and the nice thing is that we are the “have nothing to lose underdog”

Happy, and content, are not the same thing

 

I'm happy we made the playoffs, but I'm not content - I want more

[xereau]

Dubas should be canned for that hilarious travesty in Toronto.

 

At least fifteen million in overpayments, just in the last 2 years.

 

Has screwed parity in the league too. Can and blacklist his useless arse.

[Googlie]

Watch Toronto get drawn for the #1 pick.  These boards will explode

That’s the spirit 

[komodo0921]

Vancouver showed they can beat this team during the regular season.

They also showed there's a lot more depth here then most thought.

We have the Marky factor

St. Louis didn't look unbeatable during their series against Dallas.

Picking Vancouver in 7.

Decisions decisions 

 

does Bettman gift the number one pick to the Rangers or Leafs ? 

[Devron]

Man Toronto, what a bunch of losers

You can't base one playoff performance on everything. Even you should know that Allen not playing a game during the run doesn't mean he won't during this run.

 

Both Binnington and Allen are great goaltenders. Whoever takes those reins and runs with them will get the starts. You're probably right, it will likely be Binnington.

 

All I'm saying is that Binnington played like crap in their 2nd round robin game, so they played Allen in the 3rd one.

So we are late game Wednesday
