They owe us even more after allowing Sutherland to rig multiple games in the playoffs over his pitiful excuse for a career. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were listed on their site as the keys to the series for them: Slow Vancouver Down: The Canucks used speed and skill to overcome the defending Stanley Cup Champions in the first round. It will be vital for Vegas to take away Vancouver's open space and force their skilled players to the perimeter. Battle Between the Pipes: Vegas turned to Robin Lehner for three of its four wins in the opening round while Marc-Andre Fleury picked up a win in his only start of the series. Markstrom has been the guy for Vancouver as he's started each game for the Canucks since Game 1 of their qualifying round series against Minnesota. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumb Nuck Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 That Fleury cartoon, someone should redraw it using Don and Ron’s name on the sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need BigMac in a game like this. Did they score on their PP? I must have missed that. Who else penalty kills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with more O-zone time they can accomplish that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mackcanuck Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) We are only down 1-0 We've got them right where we want them! The lines will change and we are gonna come out this period and dominate Edited August 24, 2020 by Mackcanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rarely goes below or above the hash marks, and because he rarely touches the puck he rarely loses it heh. He's milquetoast, and we need more from everyone to have a chance. He's not the worst guy out there, but I am pretty certain he is the least inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS4quality Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I didn't think Vegas looked that much better than us, but boy oh boy the entire pannel minus Bieksa is drooling over the knights and reeves right now. That guy takes notoriously bad penalties, and I hope our pp delivers. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how fast Graovac is? If you have to ask, then don't ask. Your thoughts have pulled away from your own knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need BigMac in a game like this. Im thinking Green is trying to get him going. He got JV going and now Eriksson. If today was the 7th game of the series, we'd see the same line combo as game 6 vs blues. There is no other reason to make this switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way we can beat them is to think, pass and shoot more quickly -- but we don't have enough of those players who are capable of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Loui stylistically just isn't great against this team. They move the puck too quickly for him IMO. In fairness just 1 period, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Nuck Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 We gotta get more shots on net, Rous Roused Lehner but he’s had it too easy. We got to go to the net and make his life difficult, he will be the Knights Achilles heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence my leaning towards Bailey. Anyone know how fast Graovac is? Its true, Vegas just is born to play physical hockey. They will take their pound of flesh regardless how we respond. I don't think Bailey and Graovac will help. The team just needs to move the puck quicker. You don't need to skate this team in circles, just make quick passes. Vegas doesn't have any particular speed burners themselves, they play fast because they are ferocious on the forecheck, move the puck quickly, and the forwards help the Defense transition quickly by controlling their gap.
