Loui has been given every opportunity to play all through the line up. he's played with Petey to start, Bo, 3rd line and the 4th line. He's a decent defensive forward and not bad on the PK, but as every year passes he has a harder time keeping up with the speed of the game in all areas. its not his fault he signed a 6x6 contract, but he doesn't deserve special treatment anymore. If his play doesn't deserve 13th forward , then off to Utica/ Canada AHL bubble wherever it may be. Right now our bottom 7 would be Sutts, Gauds, Rooster Mac- motte- Beagle Eriksson, this is assuming Jake stays and plays a top 6 role. if Ferland is healthy or he is outplayed by LInd, Baer, hoglander or a surprise candidate he needs to be ridin the bus outa here!

Exactly. this team has gone way beyond what anyone expected! Not saying I'm throwing in the cards as we are frigging resilient as we've shown already. Also Green has made some remarkable decisions on lines, strategy, and motivating this very young squad of impressive talent. I don't think Petey or Huggy would be doing this well if it wasn't for their Coach's calm measured support right now. I have a really good feeling about Demko and the clash tonight. They may win they may lose but expecting a very good game from the boys!

Would like to see Chatfield in for Benn. Benn may have the edge on strength and experience but the 3rd pairing in being exposed with Vegas speed more then anything. Chatfield has speed and a high compete level and has the right shot advantage. Putting Jake in the top six and expecting his best performance of the series is needed for game 4. If that moves Brock down to the third so be it.

Can't see Green making any changes in game 3. Gauds, while not the physical player that Big Mac is, has a higher skills set and is pretty tenacious on the fore check This is our MO as a team. Our speed, skill and pressure literally shut Vegas down for 2 of the 3 periods. This is what we need to focus on. Let Reaves run around while we're getting scoring opportunities. Rooster was still playing his speed and pressure game when he's on the ice Rooster played 6:32 and Reaves 8:20 so its a waste of energy for us to focus on that little game within the game. More importantly we still need to find ways to break up their sustained pressure like they had in the 2nd. Hoping Myers gets back in sooner then later to use that 14' reach to break up plays as Benn is a concern out there at times. No issues with the rest of the D

Canucks - Vegas stats through first 2 rounds GF- Vegas -3rd - Canucks - 5th GA- Vegas -16th- Canucks 18th PP- Canucks 6th - Vegas 9th PK- Vegas 7th - Canucks 15th FOW- Canucks 8th - Vegas 19th Save % Canucks 3rd - Vegas 8th Keeping in mind Vegas played Chicago vs St Louis.... They have the balanced attack , but by the last 2 games with our bottom 6 confident as well it will be a battle. Aces? Marky , Huggy, Petey! -

Sure would like to see Gaudette get some playing time over Jake right now. Gauds was a clutch scorer doing the reg season and adds a better threat to our bottom 6 which is needed desperately. JV hasn't really shown what he's capable of in his games played so far, maybe the pressure game is not for him. Here's hoping he uses that speed and heavy game tonight that he was drafted for..
