DIBdaQUIB Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Couldn't watch the game but it's nice to see Schneider getting another shutout! How did Roy look in his first game with the Canucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darnucks Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Only if Kassian and Raymond play up to their potential. Well, that's applicable to everyone. But I'm most worried about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Solid chemistry with Roy and Higgins, Roy's vision and creativity were fully clear in that game. Kassian seems to have some new confidence too, pretty cheeky to try and pull the Bure with him in the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I said in the GDT that this would be the most important game of the season from a mental standpoint and I'm glad the Canucks came through. With Minnesota playing and losing at the same time, and the red-hot Oilers coming into town after blowing us out, this was a statement game. So of course it's Henrik Sedin who carries the Canucks. This was a true character game by the twins who tee up the game winner and score a beauty. They didn't really dominate with Burrows on their line, but had a few great shifts and scored one of the prettiest goals of their season. Burrows did look invisible on their line though - he's better suited to a middle-6 role. Get Kassian on the top line ASAP. As for Kassian, great game. Nice goal at the end, but he was flying all night, making great passes, came back hard defensively and threw a couple of big hits on key players (knocked Hall on his ass). That sort of game is what you want all the time, it's a shame he requires a demotion and kick in the pants to get heated up. Kassian will thrive in the playoffs - similar to the Bruins, if he's hit or angered I feel he will really come alive, which is why we need him defending the twins. Almost scored the goal of the year on Khabibulin too with that attempted Bure kick pass. It's no coincidence that the Sedins came alive when we finally get a 2nd line center. They need one for matchup game, and Roy was huge for us tonight. He's got some serious skill and speed, and was alright defensively too (a couple of bad turnovers). Lovely pass to Higgins who's really emerging for us now along with Hansen and Raymond as our secondary scorers. I've said this before and I'll say it again - the Canucks are probably the deepest team at the forward position right now. When Kesler returns, we'll have a 60-80 point center in Roy on the 3rd line flanked by two 20-goal scorers. No other team in the league has that luxury - not even Pittsburgh who will have Sutter (40 point center), Morrow (no longer a 20 goal scorer) and maybe Iginla (currently being outscored by our wingers). Of course our PK and PP was the difference tonight. We finally win a special teams battle and it wins us the game. Winning these close, tight checking games where not many penalties are called is playoff hockey, and with our depth scoring this bodes very well for us in the playoffs. All we need is a little more physicality and I'm confident this group will go far. They're far deeper than even the 2011 group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
