A single player selected per team, when after they chose their roster nobody saw them as being a threat for the cup. People need to get over Vegas, fact is they play an upbeat style and have some big guys that can play that enforce their might every time they step on the ice. I wish the Canucks played a style like Vegas, solid coaching and a team that gets the most out of every player. It's a joke. You cannot gift wrap an elite team to an expansion city. And let's see when thier window ends how supported that franchise is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apollo Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Question, why is juice monkey steroid using nate schmidt allowed to compete? If he took performance enhancing drugs... Isn't his performance enhanced already? How does a measly 20 game suspension deter a guy that had added a lot of strength and muscles from using performance enhancing drugs? Regardless, can't wait for game 2. We're no strangers to beating cheaters. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awalk Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Vegas is a cocky, heavy team that backs up its talk. Canucks got rattled early. I think they'll have a nice bounce back game in game 2. Glad to be here for the experience right now... Vegas had a tough SCF loss and an even more difficult loss last year to SJ... we'll get there.

I'm sure if they run into any financial trouble whatsoever they'll win the draft "lottery" and get a superstar to generate hype again. That's what's saved the Penguins from bankruptcy like 3 times so far. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestFalcon Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Surprisingly, I think this is the most ok I've felt after seeing the team get thrashed 5-0. Our group has come so far so quickly, already finding ways to win against two teams this playoffs. They're an underdog that many didn't believed would even make the playoffs. Now they're here, facing the team that's kicked their behind since it came into the league, a tough playoff built team with its eyes set on a Stanley Cup. This is the kind of team that they need to beat if they're going to lift a Stanley Cup. I'll be happy as long as they can figure out some ways to wipe the stupid smug grins off the Golden Knights' faces and make this into a hard fought series. If they can push this series to at least 6, that'll be a good job. If they can win this series, I'll be overjoyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whcanuck Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 The thing I think that trapped Vancouver in 2011 against the Bruins, is they got off their game and got into gamesmanship and tried to match the Bruins’ physicality, turned out to be a big mistake. The Canucks have to stick to their game, do what they do well. Guys like Reaves want nothing more than to goad our guys, especially Roussel, into all that extracurricular stuff. If it turns into an overly physical series, we are dead in the water. We don’t have the personnel to match them. The worst thing they can do is turn him into a Dustin Byfuglien type presence. He’s a 4th liner, he’ll get his hits, but don’t engage with him. Don’t give him more credit than he deserves. Brian Burke was talking about that today. The Canucks need to do what made them successful against the Blues. He said Roussel’s heart and effort in game 1 should be commended, but he shouldn’t be engaging Reaves. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Whoa...!?! What happened? ...had the game PVRd and ready to watch tonight...rather, not going to do that...watched the highlites instead to not waste time. ...looked liked Tanev was pulling the puck from the back of his own net...a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Vegas is such a good team top to bottom with a big chunk of top players in their prime. Playing against this level of competition I think is good for everyone in the organization. Reminds me of those years they had to deal with CHI . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're all in their prime now and will be for another couple of years. They'll have 6 mil in cap space to find a goalie and replace Chandler Stephenson, Nick Cousins and Nosek. They will have to choose only one of those forwards, unless some team helps them out and takes one of their contracts. I could definitely see someone like Detroit or Buffalo taking on Marc-Andre Fleury in exchange for draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
