Popular Post EP Phone Home Posted August 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2020 If we are going to tame the Wild and get back into this series we need more from the captain to lead. From Cortes Island wishing the boys to show up tonight and make this a best of 3. LETS #!€*ing GO! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see Zack in there too with Jake. Playoff games, and series, are often won on garbage goals. If he gets garbage goals I'd be happy.

Wonder if he has the guts to slot in Juolevi in place of Fantenberg. i hope so, Juolevi is better then Fantenberg 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Just now, Chris12345 said: That is exactly what I would do. Either Pearson/Motte and Gaud out. Fanta out. I'd also roll Hughes at least 24 minutes tonight and I would double shift him early with the top 2 lines. I'd roll the top 2 lines out hard early. Obviously not that easy have to react to the other team and faceoff locations. Why? He’s not ready. Fanta was fine and we still have Benn. He’s not going to get any games unless guys go down. And he’s not the better option until he’s proven himself which 6.5 minutes isn’t going to do. If your really interested in what sort of player OJ is scout some of his Utica games. 24 minutes ago, Googlie said: Blindingly obvious - pair him with Rafferty ... they can't effectively forecheck both at the same time Ha ha . Rafferty is possibly a downgrade on Stetcher...we won’t know about that until next year so don’t overthink it. Personally I think he’s a mild upgrade but not right away. It’s only one game why don’t we wait until tonight is over before we freak completely out. Maybe we should also change TT with Lind because he was almost invisible while we are at it.

Our problem wasn't in front of the net, it was our top 6 not getting quality chances. our defense was not that good , Fantenberg and Stecher awful, why not give Juolevi a chance he played ok against the Jets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Man Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 1 hour ago, GritGrinder said: I'm sure this has been posted, but just in case anyone missed it or for the younger fans who don't remember the 5 game first round series of the 70's and 80's. 56 times in NHL history a team has gone down 2-0 in a 5 game series and their series record is 1-55. This is as close to a must win as you can get. I think this statistics is not really applicable in today's NHL. In today's NHL teams are much more even thanks to the spending restrictions. But, having said that, going 0-2 would create a huge problem for Canucks given then way Wild is playing. Today is a must win game for sure.

Googlie Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 My comment was tongue in cheek - but isn't Lind still skating back in Vancouver with Rathbone et al, or have they now gone their separate ways? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 No yappin..tell Roussel to clam up(give them nuthin!) Hit & skate hard, but keep sticks down. Stoic, focused & determined is needed here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The solution for our club is to play better.. whining about the refs is a waste of time. Suck it up... and play harder. If our clubs plays well, the refs can impact the game enough to steal a victory from us. That’s exactly what are problem with the refs is. They can impact the game enough to steal a victory (and a series) from us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey needs to score for us to win so, he's gotta just fight through those and find a way to focus on scoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
