    Ya, considering how many elite stars on big Euro clubs come from Africa.  The talent has always been there.   It was just putting it together with the tactics to be able to compete.  

    N America is next.  Hopefully next WC on home soil.

    Will be interesting to see what they do with their goalies.

     

    Fleury was awful last game so they could go with Gustavsson tonight and play Fleury against us knowing he has a great record.

     

    That being said Fleury has been their better goalie overall so they might go with their better goalie and try and secure the win tonight.

    Nux can beat any goalie these days. 

    The question is if nux goalies can stop the pucks on high danger chances.

    Canucks are 2pts out of a wildcard spot.  Pretty sure FA will want to go for it and try to make the playoffs like last year.

    It doesn't mean they are making rental pick ups, giving up high draft picks, etc. It may just mean they ride the current roster and see what they can do.  It will get healthier over time (Demko, Pearson, Dermott and maybe Poolman), so there's potential for improvement in performance and depth. Sign the players they want to keep during off season (Kuz, Bo), buyout or trade players that don't fit into their plans (OEL, Myers, BB, Garland etc).  I'm sure their performance will impact the decision to do it by trade deadline or do it in off season.  But I don't see this management gambling anything to get one or two playoff round appearance.  JR signed on to win the Cup and wanted autonomy from Aquilini. Aquilini flew to his house to convince him to take the job.  

     

    It was a stated goal in the pre season to make the playoffs.  I don't think that has changed. Bruce said it would be a disaster if they don't make it.
