  1. LOL playoffs?. Playoffs? Sooo We lost 3 out of 4 VS Ottawa who was last in our division while we're out of playoffs by 10 pts. Also heading into the Canucks series, Ottawa's last 10 was 4-6
  2. I'm glad I didn't watch today... Covid or not, if you lose back to back against Ottawa when you desperately need a win, you don't deserve the playoffs.
  3. What is with the lack of urgency? Canucks literally gave this game a 5 minute effort today when they realized they might lose...
  4. Yes mathematically they do but they would have to win 4 out of 5 games in hand which is not impossible but very tough. A little more help on Mtl's remaining 10 games would make it easier for sure.
  5. Last year's playoffs was the most fun I've had watching our guys since 2011... I shake my head at the ppl that want Benning gone...
  6. Ok @Dazzleand @Provost. I like both of you guys but this is a pissing match of semantics. Provost obviously didn't see Montreal going 3-7 in their last 10 while Canucks go 6-3-1. We wouldn't be arguing if Provost used the word "improbable". The odds were heavily stacked against our guys but we've managed to get some help and our guys have played really well for the last while. At this point, TDL moves have been made. Let's just cheer on our guys to finish strong and take the spot from Mtl. I think both Provost and Dazzle would agree on that front.
  7. Yeah, I think I saw the flames play 9 games in the next 24 days. Much more reasonable. I just hope we don't suffer an injury with so little rest.
  8. It looks like we have a chance but we are playing an awful lot of games. I think every remaining game is either every other night or back to back. Players may hit the wall at one point. Hope they prove me wrong
  9. Your assessment is quite astute. They are paid very similarly. I think 50k off...
  10. That blown 5 on 3 to close out the game worries me. I feel like a slightly better team than OTT would have taken us to overtime or shootout. Not playing with desperation on that PP is inexcusable. Glad we pulled out a win tonight. I'm hoping the players knew what they were doing.
  11. Oh wow Thanks for providing some context. Didn't realize that he was actually suffering
  12. I believe he's talking about Salo. He got underbridged by Marchand and took the year off while we were at the cap. I'm pretty sure the league knew what MG was doing and that's why they put the screws with the Luongo penalty
  13. Lol and we have the Luongo cap recapture penalty while Hossa retires due to equipment allergies despite playing hockey his entire life
  14. LOL I believe Aaron Rome got 4 games in the SCF for being a split second late. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/snapshots-aaron-rome-hit-canucks-stanley-cup
  15. This is similar to Mtl giving us fits with their forecheck. Teams that work as a 5 man unit and pressure the opposing team in sync is a tough team to play against. Glad to see us going in with speed.
  16. Absolutely. Juolevi looks very poised and is the vet presence on the rookie pairing with Chatfield. Chatfield got a lot of love this game but I felt like he mixed up Juolevi on a few plays. There was a play when Juolevi reversed the puck in his own zone but Chatfield was way out of position and nowhere near where he should be which led to a turnover and had them scrambling in their own zone. Those plays should be second nature to NHL level dmen. Chatfield's redeeming quality is that, once a mistake is made, he is quick on his skate and reaction to break up a play or at least get in the way. I remember when playing football, my coach would say, if you lost your assignment, just hit someone instead of standing around and I feel like Chatfield does that. I'm excited to see a defensive 6 of Edler Schmidt Hughes Myers Hamonic Juolevi That's a pretty solid group.
  17. Because they're cowboys and their arena is shaped like a saddle
  18. Lol what cowboy decided to create an Arena shaped like a saddle haha. Funny that a lot of major concerts / artists skip Calgary because the dimensions and shape of the building isn't adequate space for their concert and staging lol
  19. As for Lind or Gadj, that's a pretty big gamble for Expansion draft as they aren't even surefire NHLers. For that reason, I feel Canucks should not play them this year so. Seattle doesn't see how they perform at. NHL level
  20. I think you gotta protect Motte I've never seen him not go 100%. He also has untapped offensive potential and out up good numbers in college
