Roussel - 16.31 Zack - 15.81 Motte - 12. 43 Gaudette - 10.55 Beagle - 9.84 Jake - 9.18 Now imagine if Motte and Beagle didn’t spend most of their time out on the PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Stanley Park doing some cool skate logo ones late last year... Those were also available at games this year, then for a short time in some liquor stores as surplus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Man Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I think that Canucks advantage for the first game is the fact that Vegas was doing nothing for the last 4 days while Canucks were playing hard. It is like yesterday's game between Dallas and Avs- before Avs woke up- they were down 3-1 and 2 key players out with injures GCG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 1 hour ago, CanucksJay said: When Myers is back, would you take their D or our D? It looks like McNabb, Martinez, Schmidt and Theodore are their top 4 and pretty even in numbers. The other 2 (Holden and Whitecloud) get limited minutes. The top 4 is very capable but I dont see Parayko /Pietrangelo level and expect to see our wingers win more puck battles. This is going to be a great series. Knights are a really good balanced team. We are a good balanced team but I like us for the fact that we have a super high end player at each position. Whitecloud is a big steady dman back there. For a rookie. I was surprised at his composure. Just watched some games vs Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Ian McIntyre was joking when ne said that Benning might have trouble fitting Marky and Motte under the cap, but if Beagle and Sutter are $3m and $4.3, just how valuable is Motte ..... Leads all forwards in hits, in blocked shots, in takeaways Second in shooting % (behind Roussel!) 3rd in +/- (behind Petterssen and Beagle) 3rd in goals (tied with Petey, behind Bo and JT) If he can sustain that, maybe McIntyre is right! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 The goalie controversy with the Knights is pretty entertaining. I hope we can light up both guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for me, it's BBQ Sunday, afterall, it's August! so I've got some ribs and fresh beef sausages bathing in applewood smoke on the Weber kettle - when it hits noonish I'll crack a beer - and I'll prob have to put my smaller of two down for his nap at some point in the next hour here - busy is my middle name but at least I'm eating well!! Lol I have steaks in the fridge will be on the bbq after weight training. As far as routine I switch it up.. just got back from edmonton about 2 weeks ago (was there for many months) I did a lot of jogging there. Since being back it's been mostly 5k walks and weight training. Switch it up. Better for the body and keeps it interesting... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 This has the makings of a great series. Should be back and forth all series long, trading punch for punch. Hope Petey and Huggy Bear continue their fine play while Marky continues his stellar goaltending. GCG! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit superstar, blah blah blah. How about you talk about OUR legit superstars for once? Let's focus on our team and what they can do. I hate it when some feel inclined to give all the hype/props to the other guys. Despite this being about...our team. It's a constant theme for some....."they bigger, badder, better than us". Only if/when they beat us. They haven't. (I have my game face on and am a little fired up...this is the Canucks gdt, not the Vega Starry Nights). I second that Deb... Non Canuck fan/trolls please go pump up Vegas on their boards cause there gonna need it. We get it we’re the underdogs, everyone is sooooo superior than us blah blah blah, you hate the Nucks. Leave us True Nuck fans to enjoy our team and cheer them on. Let’s Gooooooo!!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

189lb enforcers? Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I think Flower is a great guy and class act. How can you not like the man? Great career. Great team-guy and representative of the sport. You hope the best for people who are like that, just not if it means standing between the Canucks and their Cup. I’ll be cheering for him to win the micro war he apparently has going over the crease to play, but yes, I fully hope to see him and Vegas cry - after 4 games. I’m looking forward to this becoming our new rival. It’s been so long since it was Calgary, Wild, Stars, etc. Both of these clubs are creating rivalries, the ones only the playoffs can forge. And what a rivalry this should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
