There are enough NCAA players joining the Canucks and then finding success at the professional level to actually make this organization an attractable signing destination. Good job on the organization on creating this reputation though.
Favourite series to rewatch would be some of the epic Canucks playoff series wins in their history. E.g. 1994 round 1 vs. Calgary, 2003 Round 1 vs. Blues, first 3 rounds of 2011 etc. you know
Henrik had 12 points in 5 games during a Conference Final series against the Sharks. This is nothing short of a beast like moment. But I do get what you mean. I am also really curious at how Petey and Hughes will adapt if they eventually found their way into the playoffs. I have a feeling if we want to win the cup, it will likely be Bo, Miller and Marky leading the way. Other players like Toffoli, Pearson and in the future Podkolzin would be a major part of it as well.
2010 first round vs the Kings, they did pretty well against them that year. Although, that series was Mikael Samuelsson's series. I thought that series was interesting as defense and Luongo was nowhere near their best (Luongo had a a sv percentage below 0.900) and yet we still won the series. We just out scored the opposing team with our fire power offense. Our defensive game was completely picked apart by the Blackhawks in Round 2.
NHL released a new statement yesterday which permits players to return to their home if they wish. So for the European players, if they return home, they might not be able to make it back here if the season resumes.
I agree with a lot of stuffs you said except for the highlighted. Hughes is basically a full year younger than Makar and he is already very close to him in terms of production and play. I would say Hughes is a lot better than you give credit for.
I can't believe we are in this situation. We were in a position to sweep them about a week or so ago, how the hell did this happen?! Please just win, don't care how, don't care by how many, just win please!
This has the potential to be a complete disaster. Not only is a 1st for Goodrow a massive overpayment, but the fact the season could be over and no playoff games be played and TB just lost their 1st round pick for a plug who only played 9 regular season game.
