  1. Of course they are worn down to some degree, what 33 year old athlete's body isn't? The Sedins are paid to be the key members of our team, and they still are. Their role is changing with the team, they're older, playing more minutes, harder minutes with PK time, and they're still nearly point per game players. We all know the Sedin's skill set: The Cycle. Every team knows its coming, and have for years and still they are successful at it because the 3rd man on the cycle has to know where to be. Hansen is not that guy. He makes some good reads out there, but he has 3rd line hands, half the time he dekes himself out. They just don't have chemistry with Hansen. I think Hank is still a legitimate top line centre in the NHL, Daniel has probably fallen off more, so having a guy like Burrows on the line is the difference between a 70 point season and an 80 point season for them at this stage in their career.
  2. Gotta revere the Hawks third line. 52 points combined between them. Richardson-Booth-Kassian: 30 pts.
  3. They need to do something with the Sedins. Hansen just looks so out of place, and teams know Hansen isn't going to do anything out there and it's costing the Sedins time and space to work together. Say what you want about Burrows struggles this year, at least teams still respect the fact that he can finish a play and have to watch him, which gives the Sedins that extra bit of room. Right now Dalpe would be an upgrade over Hansen on that line.
  4. Jannick Hansen is now 0-578 lifetime on breakaways.
  5. Higgins! I'm sure Torts has F-bombed some urgency in to the nucks
  6. Already sounds like a millionaire doesn't he.
  7. Not how I envisioned Dallas getting their 2 goals in our 3-2 win, but whatever.
  8. The Stars aren't an easy out, and they still fancy themselves to be in the playoff mix. Still think Nucks take it but it's bothering me how they are comparing this game and the Dallas Stars to the Oilers game.
  9. OP kept it simple, like the Canucks will do tonight. Solid road game. 3-2 win. Nucks.
  10. Higgins 21 points would have him be: 4th in scoring on LA 5th in scoring on Pittsburgh 9th in scoring on Chicago 4th in scoring on Boston 6th in scoring on San Jose 8th in scoring on St. Louis He is putting up 2nd line stats on a lot of good teams right now. Especially when you consider in the 2 cases where he isn't in the top 6 for scoring, those teams have 2 D-men each, in their top 6. Edit: He would be leading the Florida Panthers.
  11. Bruins fans like the ones who took to Twitter to call Joel Ward the N word a couple seasons ago? Yeah they're a moral authority. And I heard 'Boston Sucks'.
  12. That was a good goal for the 4th to get. Oilers have that way of making any team look like the deepest 4 line team in the NHL but the Canucks definitely didn't look past the Oil tonight.
  13. If not for the Garrett jinx that'd be 3 straight shutouts for the team.
  14. Not surprised Luongo starts. If Lacked started tonight he has to play the Bruins cold after that much time off. It's undeniable there is still feelings there between the Canucks and Bruins. Lou will want to be sharp, not rested.
  15. If you blinked you just missed the only gaff Tanev will make all season.
  16. If Hansen could deke goalies half as well as he dekes himself out, he'd be a 40 goal guy.
  17. Hansen looks gassed. He is an offensive zone cancer for the Sedins, they really need to throw someone else in that spot.
