  1. What impressed me the most is how determined the boys were to win. We were never going to win the cup but we played like we were. Eventually, the inexperience caught up with us, but I 100% believe this playoffs was the best thing that could have happened to our young core. Now they know what it takes to win. Many players elevated their game, and others showed enough to help Benning make decisions this offseason. I firmly believe our cup window is closer than we think.
  2. How about Quinn Hughes. Logging top pairing minutes. 16 points in 16 games. The kid's a freaking rookie man. Unreal.
  3. They didn't start from a rebuild, they were handed their pieces and draft picks for free. Kudos to their GM but they are not comparable. Did you legitimately think the Canucks would win the cup this year? Those are high expectations for a team that made the playoffs for the first time since its rebuild. No excuses. I'm being realistic.
  4. It's still a fact. We had every opportunity to win tonight but we didn't have the depth or experience to get it done. They're built to win. We're not there yet, but we can expect playoffs from here on out.
  5. I was with you there. I can't believe I ever considered that as a good idea. He's so fundamental to this team right now.
  6. Chin up guys. We are not a team built to win the cup right now. That's what's so impressive with these playoffs. Add the right pieces next season and let's see what happens. I'm excited with what I've seen from this team.
  7. The fact this team made it this far is unbelievable. We can see the future we have in our young guys. They got so much experience out of these playoffs, we're going to take a bigger step next season (which is right around the corner guys). What Demko did to get us to a 1 goal game 7 is incredible. He's our #1 starter in a season or two. Guaranteed. Vegas will probably win the cup, they're extremely dominant, and to think that if we had scored a couple we probably would have won, which is absolutely insane. I am more than satisfied with these playoffs, I love this team, and I can't wait to see how we look next year with new ELC's making the team and perhaps some trades.
  8. Let's go boys. We're already in their heads and if we push HARD here, they will collapse. Play the best game you've ever played tonight.
  9. Good points, I didn't get to watch the entire game, just bits of it. I just feel MacEwan would have a positive impact, perhaps in for Gaudette?
  10. I feel the same. Sutter plays with heart but he can be too slow sometimes. Seems to make our 4th line ineffective.
  11. At this point, run with Demko. He's fresh. Let him be the savior of this series. No matter what happens, this is valuable experience for our future #1. Vegas is getting a bit nervous. They should have won this game, but they couldn't beat Demko. This is all about momentum now. Boys, you need to come out HARD next game, and then watch Vegas collapse. If we force a game 7, we win this series.
  12. Yes, there will be improvements to the team. I should have said core. I didn't mean to imply that this exact team will win us cups down the road.
  13. I understand your frustration but we haven't entered our cup window yet. We will have many chances at the Cup. In fact, I think we're going to win it several times with this team.
  14. No matter what happens next, we exceeded expectations. Calgary and Toronto were supposed to be far ahead of us in their rebuilds, but look, we're the only Canadian team left standing. Two exciting series of hockey that we haven't experienced for 5 years. Not to mention that we knocked out the Stanley Cup champions... The future is bright people. Let's stop pretending that we were legitimate contenders for the Cup. It's been fun, but that was never the case. Pettersson, Hughes, and Horvat have proven that they are big time players for us, and they're not even fully developed yet. I'm thankful for what I got to experience here. All of those painful years were worth it. Remember, we only get better from here.
  15. I agree, the power play is crucial, but we won't win this series unless all lines are scoring.
  16. We need scoring from our bottom 6. Plain and simple. Switch things up if necessary.
  17. He needs to throw his weight around and forecheck hard. We need him in this one
  18. 0/7 power plays guys... Focus on that and we can win the series. The Blues are going to play rough, so utilize that, draw penalties, keep things simple, and get as many quality shots on net as possible. If we can chase Allen out of the net, we win the series.
  19. I didn't get to watch the entire game but it looks like Bo took charge. Love it man. Let's go Nucks!
  20. Haven't felt this way in a long time. 5 years of pain and it was so worth it. I'm so happy Tanev got that goal. He was our anchor back there. Played excellent all night. So happy for him. The team looked great, Marky let in softies but the boys won it for him. Love the story in that. Guys that was just so f%$^$% epic. I'm so happy for all of us here tonight
  21. Assuming all three players sub in... Pettersson - Miller - Toffoli Eriksson - Horvat - Boeser Pearson - Sutter - Virtanen Ferland - Beagle - MacEwan Worth a try.
  22. Tanev was the player I noticed the most in Game 1.
