Leading the league in playoffs scoring, tied with some guy named MacKinnon in Colorado.  

 

What a great start to his playoffs career.. just like his start to his NHL career in his rookie season.. 

 

Super Star

Pettersson

Damn, to think that Luongo - Markstrom trade would be paying off this time now is crazy. Interested how Nucks vs Knights series plays out, imagine it is a lot closer than everyone thinks.

and, as we still pay the Luongo recrap off, this time, is crazy.

In the regular season?.... Virtanen scored 18 goals in a shortened season lol. He was basically a 20 goal scorer.   Guadette scored 12 in 52 games, that’s a 19 goal season in an 82 game schedule. I’d say that’s one productive invisible line.  In the playoffs this far Guadette had only played 1 game before he was benched.  They’ve scored 10 goals in 2 games with him in the lineup the last 2 games against the Blues.  They feed off each other, and I predict Gaudette and Virtanen will eventually end up playing on the same line at some time vs the Wild.  Good debate, keep it up. B)

Notice how their ice time is still the lowest among forwards with Roussel? Notice how everyone else seems to play more?

 

Nothing I said was incorrect. They're streaky players and that was a streaky line that scored in bunches and disappeared. They were also sheltered and played with Roussel to boot, who isn't a defensive forward. You act like that's a bad thing, it's just the truth. It's understandable, their young players still rounding out their games. Far from the best they can be as overall players.

 

If that wasn't the case then Greener wouldn't have sheltered them and would of given them more ice time. Ice time alone reflects what I am saying. When the other 3 lines less of a liability they are gonna play more. When they're streaky in a good way Green rides them offensively, when they're not, ice time drops significantly.

 

Gaudette/Roussel were also a part of that shift that got stuck in the zone for 2 minutes tonight. If it were up to me I would of promoted Motte and dropped Rousell. If Motte was on the ice with Sutter/Gaud the puck probably would of got out. Each line needs 2 people who are more than competent defensively.

 

Like I said inconsequential and redundant. To say that takes away from how good Beagle, Motte and the rest of the bottom 6 have been.

Hmmmm, I predicted Nucks in 5 and that Binnington would have a meltdown, I now see some weakness in Fleury, I predict Canucks in 4, 3 if we fire Green.

Fleury played terrible in 2 games in the bubble. Lehner will be in net for Vegas. He's got 2.44 GAA .904 SV% in 6 games...

 

Marky definitely the best goalie left and the team with the hot goal tender always has a good chance to win the series..
