Less 3 point games for other teams and separation between the top 2 teams and the rest of the division. Oh, and win games in regulation

If that's not the most deserving victory I've ever seen...

I think it would be different if the 4th line got comparable minutes and deployment as the top lines, but they don't. Not saying they would produce the same as the top six if given the same opportunities (they are the 4th line for a reason), but they likely get about half as many shifts and no power play time while being out for short handed situations. Looking at it that way, I would expect my 4th liners to get between 7 and 12 goals and between 15-25 points, or about a quarter of what I would expect out of my top line. I don't think our guys are too far off and may even be ahead of the curve

Tough game for the boys. On to the next

Kid is such a good retriever and likes to find the open guy when he creates a turnover. I wish his linemates could do something with his hard work, whoever they are

Hoglander is wasted on that line.

I doubt he signs for less than 4, especially if it's a one year deal. I don't think the team sees him as anything less than a 3-4 defenseman considering the minutes he's playing in the situations he's playing them in, and those don't come cheap. We'd pay over five at least on the open market for a player like him

Agree to disagree. I feel like I don't get to see the whole ice on tv, only what the cameras follow. I'm not in the dressing room so I don't know what's going on in there either. Any amazing insight that I think I may have into the team is nothing more than speculation on my part, not the absolute truth. Anyone who thinks they know better than seasoned professionals and people with a vested interest in the teams success is kidding themselves.

This is horrible logic. Thinking you can see more than the professional coaching staff from your couch is hilarious. Not sure why people figure that we should win every game. Both teams are trying every night, The game is fast and mistakes will be made by both sides. Every given night one team will be more opportunistic than the other. I'm not happy the Canucks lost two more to Montreal either, but wanting to change the coaching staff and personnel of the team every time we lose more than four and a row is so counterproductive. Spend years building an exciting young only team to tear it down after a bad week? Smh

I certainly hope there isn't a knee-jerk reaction to last nights game. Today's a new day, the boys I'll figure it out ! GCG!!

Such an odd stretch of hockey. Lots of cheating going on, lots of shortcuts, especially the D. The turnover machine we've watched so far this year is just lazy hockey, along with some pretty bad luck, particularly with the top players. Last year they were playing the right way and didn't have a lot of expectations. This year it almost seems like they think they're good enough to not have to play the right way anymore, and it seems each failed shortcut is resulting in a goal against. Too many low percentage gambles. Cheating the system You're playing just doesn't work in today's NHL, even lesser teams will make you pay. These growing pains were bound to happen, The kids will figure it out soon enough.

I can't find the link

Is hogs in that group?

Looking pretty good so far

Looks pretty good so far against the us

It wasn't for nothing. It was to help the team get into the playoffs when boeser got hurt. He came right out and said as much. I don't believe he was ever really a part of the long term plan. He was a pure rental that did exactly what he was rented to do. Steep price maybe, but I am pretty happy that the kids got the chance to play into the playoffs this year and see what it feels like. I'm not upset with those results

I don't think the fans are entitled to know anything about what's going on behind the scenes. I also don't think Benning did anything to try to "save his job ". He was very upfront about the fact that he acquired Toffoli to help the team make the playoffs when boeser was hurt. Signing a bunch of Ufa's, whether they were our property the year before or not Is not the thing that needs to happen. I don't feel we Lost marky, tanev, stetch or toffoli. Benning let them leave because they were not a part of his long-term plan. This seems like the most realistic take on the whole thing. Not sure why people are trying to make a big deal out of nothing?

Pretty sure it's the financial landscape created by the pandemic.

I think Crosby not winning the Calder might be a more fitting comparison

Silver lining, was winning the Calder going to affect our cap? Is there a performance bonus that gets tacked on to the salary cap for the Calder winner ?

I'm pooping in my pants. Demko!

Yeah!!!

That's an absurd penalty call

Good learning experience for the kids. To this point they have adjusted every time. This is the playoffs and this is playoff intensity.

I can't even believe what I'm watching with the officiating. It's disgusting
