  1. I'm a little concerned that his group has a very short window to win together. Not saying that Benning won't configure the roster and make changes, maybe they win down the road, but I really love this group right now. Pettersson with Toffoli and Pearson is great. And Bo deserves top notch wingers. The D could use an upgrade, but how do they manage that?
  2. I hope that if Toffoli is able to play, and they let him. There's little time to waste. It's a big mountain to climb if they go down 2-0. This should be a great game, I think VAN will give everything they have. Markstrom needs to be super solid again.
  3. Big game from Pettersson, the kid is competitive. Same with Hughes (3 assists) Loui with a garbage goal.
  4. Back when the 2019/20 season began, I didn't think this would be how it ended, great result: VAN MTL CGY EDM TOR WPG OTT
  5. Fantenberg and Benn also have zero points in these playoffs, but they've played pretty well. I don't think Eriksson has been bad, he understands the game and defends well. He also has a knack for going to the net and getting some garbage goals, so I'm hoping he does that tonight. Get in Lehner's kitchen, get him off his game.
  6. Okay, two questions on the streaker photo above: 1) is that Prince Harry?, and 2) is that Connor McDavid chasing him on the right? lol
  7. This bothered me as well. Seeing Reaves basically pal around with the refs almost made me heave. The Canucks have ti find a way to beat Vegas at their ow game, like they did with STL. Forget the chirping and mind games and work as a team. Vegas doesn't give the Canucks any time and space, they're faster than STL, so they'll need to move the puck quick and accurately, and use their speed. Reaves is just another player. He just hits a lot, and hard. Can't our guys do that?
  8. No, not saying that, or even the Canucks really. Are there other teams that dislike Sutherland as well? Or maybe they dislike a different ref? All I was saying is that the refs have a tough job, and I don't want to blame poor reffing for losses. There's 60 minutes in a game, both teams take penalties, both teams get away with non-calls.
  9. NHL refs have an incredibly tough job, everything moves 100 miles an hour out there. Sometimes they don't catch everything, sometimes they make mistakes. What would add to the annoyance of these refs is certain players causing them grief, acting like a fool, or constant diving or complaining to them about every little tap, etc. Refs probably get annoyed at times with certain players, maybe that affects how they call the games? Canucks just need to put their heads down and get to work.
  10. What I saw: Roussel did everything he could to drag his team into the war, and none of them followed. Let's hope they show up for Game 2.
  11. Hope we get Toffoli back for this one. Canucks need to generate more offence. They had shots last game, but not many scoring chances. Green and his coaching staff may need to put on some coffee and pull an all-nighter putting the plan on place.
  12. The future is bright. Petey and Hughes are still kids, basically. Virtanen, MacEwen, Gaudette, Juolevi and Boeser are still young and developing their games. The team has Eriksson playing in the top 6 in the playoffs, and the D is really only half there. It's going to get better. They've still got Lind, Podkolzin, Hoglander, Focht, Rathbone and Woo developing. They wowed me against MIN and STL, and if it ends today, it's been a complete success. But it isn't over yet. I imagine how good (and strong) Pettersson will be in 3 years, or how much more skilled Quinn Hughes will be. You can bet the name-calling and childish antics of the Vegas players, will motivate Pettersson to shove that down their throats in years to come. Who knows, it may have already lit a fire in his belly. This core will hoist the Cup one day.
  13. I don't know, isn't it kind of a compliment acknowledging that women have this power over men? Did this upset the rainbow crowd? Should he have included "...or gay men"? Or how about children, they can be a distraction. This is so silly. Mike is obviously old school, and hasn't evolved into what society deems acceptable. I know what he meant, and sure, I would think girlfriends and wives would be a distraction in the bubble. Saying they wouldn't be, is just idiotic. But, being a public figure, he can't say that stuff and should probably follow Don Cherry out the door.
  14. 2019/20 Domi (25) - 17g 27a 44 points (71 games) Virtanen (24) - 18g 18a 36 points (69 games) Domi did have a 28 goal season (last year), but maybe he's struggled to stay healthy?
  15. Not to mention the extra time Vegas coaching staff had to review tape and study the Canucks. Vegas was prepared.
  16. Well, if it makes any difference, I thought they were done when MIN went up 1 game to 0. lol So, maybe they'll surprise in Game 2
  17. Could you imagine him doing the commenting during the SCF if BOS (his son's team) makes it? C'mon Tampa.
  18. When you think about it, the game is like one big Recess for the players. They all play the game by the rules and focus on good hockey skills. But there's that one kid (Roussel) who is out of control and the Staff (referees) are annoyed as F*** with this kid. lol They even gave him a 10-minute timeout for crying out loud lol
