Binner has been a bit leaky, but Allen is not good. He’s an even worse version of Martin Jones - fundamental technique, high skill for his position, but zero heart. The only hope for STL there is that the Nucks fall into their “can’t beat the backup” mode (which we have seen a bit in recent years).

PhillipBlunt Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hoping to see a Blues player or two sent off the ice with an injury that takes them out of the rest of the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 3 hours ago, MattJVD said: I'm starting to suspect that the refs are trying to allocate penalties based on impact on the score. Our PP is really clicking, St. Louis's is decent but not as good. The refs are trying to take the effictiveness of special teams out of the series and award GOALS, not penalties for infractions. If Vancouver is scoring on 1 out of every 2 or 3 PPs while St. Louis is scoring on 1 out of every 4 or 5, the refs will try to give us 50 to 75% of the pp time they give the Blues. If our PP is working the refs go with 2-1 odds in penalty differential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogs & Podz Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Hey can someone download the awesome article on Manny Malholtra? I can't from my phone or just to inept lol! Well written and just reaffirms how lucky we are to have him as a coach. He's been a big reason for our post season success (canucks face off % must be up there... Especially with the wild series, we owned them). He has a great relationship with the players especially Bo... And it shows! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Benn brings bite. But he also takes a fair amount of penalties when his feet aren't moving. I'm worried about his ability to keep up with the game. I wouldn't be surprised if Jake sits tonight. Maybe green keeps him in and tells him to hit hard. Jake would play better if he put his physicality first in some areas of the ice. He still has to be open for breakout passes but a hit or a run out each shift shouldn't be to difficult if he isn't pinned in his own end. Contact of any kind would work it doesn't have to always be a bone crusher. Edited August 16, 2020 by Rush17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like an e brake if your struggling with ur sticks his size can break up the cycle. Hope we get better calls after all the messed up calls including the hit from behinds on both Sutter and myers According to Drance the Blues players have been complaining to the refs non stop, squeaky wheel gettin the calls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Bo's got some serious swagger in that video. I like it, a lot. The Canucks have won 8 or 9 straight playoff games against STL. The Blues, who are 0-5 in the bubble, need to win 4 of the next 5 games. I like the Canucks chances. Can't let the Blues back in though, hammer down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The non sequitur is confusing me a little If they called the one on Sutter it reduces the chances of the Myers one happening. Failure to do the former set an example which allowed for more agreesive and dangerous plays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollieo Del Fuego Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Here's a prediction... We win again...4-3 with the usual culprits providing the goals and assists Which will give us THE TOP 5 POINT PRODUCERS in the playoffs...!!!! Most of the top 10 right now is either out of the playoffs or will be shortly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hairy Kneel Posted August 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2020 Lost my little sister to kidney failure this morning. She was a huge Canuck fan. Me and my father are going to watch the game together... Funny how sports is a family event sometimes bringing us together... We'll be cheering our team on for her. I think Myers is a huge hole to fill. It's going to take a team effort to handle a hungry Blues team. 45 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
