[PGT] Nucks fall just short

Excellent battle for a banged up team. 41-21 shots in favour Vancouver but Lack, lacking consistency. Seems to be all over the crease and out of position at times.

Playoffs are virtually done. Have to win 12 of last 13 to make it. At least the young guns are looking good...very inpressive since they have to step up for missing players and it's only a positive. Jensen and Schroeder amazing, Matthias and Kassian also...future looking good! :)

We played pretty good today, Lack just wasn't quite on his game IMO.

The young guns came out to play, and that's a really positive thing going forward

I'm honestly loving our the young members on our team.

Jensen, Schroeder, Matthias, Tanev are all looking awesome.

I hope that we can bring up Horvat and Shinkaruk next season as well as giving a few games to Fox and Gaunce to see where they're at. I honestly don't think we're as far away from a solid young team as people make it seem.

I think if we can pick up a solid goaltender this summer (perhaps Hiller), and solidify some of our lines that have been shaky this season, we'll be contenders sooner than later.

Good to see the team show some promise for next season. Nicklas Jensen is playing with a lot of confidence and it's really fun and exciting to watch. Shawn Matthias is impossible to take the puck from, which will be great for staying competitive in the Pacific Division. Dalpe and Schroeder could still pan out, both should be resigned, and given a chance to battle for the 2nd line centre slot.

Yep, without a doubt. Liking the transition from contender to pretender to youth. About time.

IF the Sedins and Burrows and Edler can turn it around, and IF Jensen and Kassian can produce, the team might be able to survive the loss of Kesler. Couple other wild cards: maybe just maybe Horvat could steal the 3rd line centre slot from Matthias, and if Shinkaruk can play right wing then I guess he has a shot as well.

Of course, this all changes if the Canucks sign a big name free agent.
