Pure magic and I'd bet that Hank and Dan were thinking "that's how it's done" when they saw it. Sedinery... sheer poetry... how fitting they made that play as the final nail in the Blues coffin...

gizmo2337 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 If they play like that another 12 times.... we *WILL* win the cup. I don't think there's any team that can stop last nights Canucks team. And they believe they can do it, as they just knocked off the defending Stanley Cup champs in convincing fashion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerMainLander18 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Huge blow to those that wanted Green and JB fired. Also to those that wanted Sutter, Beagle, Boeser, Tanev, Stetch and Virtanen gone. Big thanks to those that kept their frustrations within and let the professionals do their jobs. Fan board should be more about support than unwarranted slanders/ criticisms after every loss lol. I was utterly embarrassed at how Ray Ferraro talked about this fanbase. On a positive note, I am so excited to see 2nd round playoff hockey for the first time in like ten years. Round 2 is another jump and I hope the boys grow with it.

If you look at the course of his career he plays around 55 games.. Same boat with Sutter, these past years, he can't stay healthy. Bringing in a guy who is light years better than them both and is more durability is not going to hurt the team even if by fluke he gets injured cause odds are Tanev and Sutter will miss 30 games next year each. WIth Toffoli we don't really know the impact he has on the team. The sample size is too small. Signing Tanev to 5m will be a mistake in my eyes. Gaudette has to be that 3rd line centre so Sutter should be the out man out. We are still a young team and you have to let guys like Gaudette grow. It's either Sutter or Beagle and I prefer Beagle. actually Tanev was healthy all this season, he and Hughes were awesome all season, and Gaudette was awful as a centre all year, if we didn't have Beagle, Sutter, tanev in these playoffs, no way we would have beat the blues so handily.

Yeah, the Blues were channeling the Oilers D on Stech's goal. And it is a complete joy to see rewards from strong forechecking with all those tipped passes and takeaways that it leads to, including the first two goals. Binkie didn't have much of a chance. But I'd like to think Marky would have stopped two of the first three 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the goal song too? I probably miss it as I am usually cheering too much. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-DLC- Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Also gotta give a shoutout to Captain Bo...who put the team on his back just when they needed him to and got them over the hump. No I in team but there's one in warrior. I hate picking individual efforts out....but he showed why he is the captain of this team at the exact time he needed to.

A lot of people on these boards, and almost every host on these useless talk radio sports shows (beyond useless) have no idea how important veteran leadership is when youre in the playoffs. There are people on these boards who seem to think you can win with a bunch of 22 year olds. You cant. Its never happened and it will never happen. You need foot soldiers who have been there and played hard minutes in crucial situations to make any kind of push. We've seen it since day 1 how Beagle, Sutter, Roussel are literally taking the fight to the opposing team. I am so impressed with Sutter right now who has been fighting and clawing his way to the net every shift to make something happen. Our young guys are feeding off that. I feel like this should be a learning lesson to everyone on the board that this is why we sign players like Beagle and Roussel, and keep players like Sutter, Tanev, Edler past their 20's. If our kids can't learn from them, who will they learn from? 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanev's played a HUGE role for Quinn....kept things nailed down so Quinn could slide in and do his stuff. Sutter too, in the leadership he brings. TT isn't as securely rooted but, don't get me wrong, this team also "works" because the guys all buy in to one another. Egos are in check and they're super strong as a unit. Sometimes you pull a guy called "Dad" (well, apparently Tequila too) and it can change the face of that. As with the crowd noise...sure...a team will have to adapt and good ones will. But if you don't have to go there, do you? Don't fix it when it ain't broke. Down the road, sure...but I don't like these conversations right now. We're in this thing...the guys who got us there deserve more respect in my mind. I ain't passing on them just yet. Maybe the proposals is a better spot for that discussion anyway? AP is still the enemy to me. Chemistry absolutely matters. It's almost unthinkable to get rid of Tanev from that point of view. We are, however, weakest at RD so if we could somehow clear enough cap to go after Pietrangelo, I'd be all over it. Would mean foregoing Toffoli, getting Loui off the books, probably moving Sutter. That would secure some spots for young players already on the roster and make us a stronger team without going down a completely ruthless New England Patriots roster surgery. Getting rid of Loui's contract is going to be a major challenge though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
