there was way too many penalties last game, I don't expect the same.

Gotta win the 5on5 today!

Hard to say.  There were tonnes of PP's in the Oilers-Hawks game last night.

So, should I watch this live with my 4 and 2 year awake and all over the place, or wait until they go to bed tonight? Conflicted..

isn't that what spouses are for?

I dunno about that, we tried that approach before and lost the cup. I say we play hard, take no crap and let the chips fall where they may, IMO.

Exactly.  Our playmakers have to make plays, and our policemen have to police. (I'm looking at you Rooster, Jake and Mac)

Both.

One crazy family event and one quiet one by yourself so you can review everything in detail.

I just don't want the "excuse/blame" game to creep into the locker room. Play hard, play our game and who cares if the ref calls or doesn't call a good game. Its out of our hands. The 94' team did just that and almost did the unthinkable.

Most of the teams that lost game 2 won game 3.

 

Really hoping for a great game from Marky.

Ferland should retire in my opinion, with the trade off being that he gets a front office job with the Canucks if he so desires it.   The Canucks get off the hook for Ferland’s salary, while Ferland still gets paid.   
 

Lines for tomorrow?

 

Miller-Pettersson-Boeser

Pearson-Horvat-Eriksson

Roussel-Sutter-Virtanen (Bailey If Roussel is out).

Motte-Beagle-MacEwen

 

Hughes-Tanev

Edler-Stecher

Fantenberg-Myers

 

Markstrom

Demko

Other people have mentioned it but he won't retire, he'll go on LTIR.  If he retired he'd forfeit his contract.

Looks like MacEwen draws in today.

Love your optimism.  Equal opportunity for both teams when the puck drops team knows what they need to do to win.

Big Mac and Virt between Sutter....release the beasts!

his deal is insured, it wont really costs the Canucks anything, and they will likely use all of his LTIR anyway. The only cap issue is bonus money. 

[Jaimito]

Time to take a lead in this series.

Are LTIR payments to the players escrowed?

[-Vintage Canuck-]

MacEwen is the right replacement given that Ferland is out and how physical this series is.

I hope to see big Zack laying in Ferlands place today, he would create some additional havoc in this series.

 

BTW 11:30 really sucks for us working folks, the NHL has done well so far but this one stings for all Canucks fans.

Thank goodness for my dual monitor set up and shaw bluesky tv... unless you don't have an office job then yeah it would suck.

 

best bet is to disconnect from the world (internet) and PVR it.

 

at least tomorrow is a potential eliminator game Friday 745PM is solid.

And the Rooster with Beagle?  Somehow I think he stays with Sutter and Virtanen, and Mac joins Motte and Beagle
