No matter what happens, this team is a winner in my book.

 

That said, I like our chances cause 100% of pressure is on Vegas and we are definitely in their heads while we have literally 0 pressure whatsoever.

Dont want to look ahead but one more W and we're in the Final 4

Never would have predicted we would be in this spot. Demko has been our hero these last two games and its been awesome to watch. But other then that we've seen so many Players step up and take a huge leap this post season

Bo is on a crazy pace scoring.EP is continuing to raise our expectations 

Motte has stepped up and shown how valuable he truly is to this team. Huggy Bear is showing us all how good he really is consistently and also raising expectations 

No matter what happens tomorrow im so proud of this team and excited for the years to come.

 

GO NUCKS

Canads team

Regardless if the result the team have exceeded expectations. Hope they get the W but if not it’s been a blast 

[WZRD]

I’ll do anything for a Nux win. I’ll even eat my veggies!

The team's already exceeded expectations and I'll be proud of their season regardless of outcome.  That being said, Vegas has all the pressure in the world on them due to the collapse last year, goalie controversy, underestimating the Canucks, and being unable to solve Demko. Very confident that our group can once again step up and do what's needed to win.

[73 Percent]

So proud of these guys. What a successful season. Our fanbase needed this so bad. We've had nothing to cheer about but draft picks for what seems like ages now. 

 

Let's &^@#ing do this boys. Show the Golden Nots what we're made of.

Gutsy effort, playing hard D and scoring when chances opened up. Vegas was uncharacteristically faltering and caused some breakdowns that led to multiple  good opportunities for us near the end. Was very nice to see that happen to them for a change. You could see the panic setting in! Lol 

 

I like our chances if they play the same way....

Really looking forward to this game. Win or lose, it’s been an awesome ride, and the team is a winner in my books.

 

Most of the worries I’ve seen/heard are about fatigue. Fleury may be coming in fresh, but he also hasn’t exactly been great in the games he’s played (3GP with a 0.893 save% - 0.001 better than Pavel Francouz). On the other hand, Demko is only 24, and has only had to start 2 games total so far. And he’s on an unbelievable heater... on paper I give the edge in net to Vancouver.

 

As for the skaters, it’s going to be tough on both sides. But for the top players, who is going to recover better? 20 YO Hughes, 21 YO Pettersson, 23 YO Boeser, and 25 YO Horvat? Or 31 YO Pacioretty, 29 YO Marchessault, 28 YO Smith, and 27 YO Stone? Theodore and Tuch are still 25/24, but overall you have to think the Knights will be hurting as much if not more than the Canucks. It’s not like they took game 6 off - they were trying everything to win it last night. And in the previous back-to-back (game 4) Vancouver handled Vegas quite well, but were sewered by goaltending.

Screw it - I’m calling a Vancouver win! Go Nucks!!!

I'm expecting a huge game from our boys! First ever game 7 for our young core, with all the momentum from the last 2 games on our side!!! No matter which goalie is being played, I trust Green and both of them, they'll give us every chance to be in the game. I'm so proud of these guys, they just don't quit and give it their all every single night! 

 

LETS GO NUCKS!!!!

[Timråfan]

This play off is killing me. I have to get up 3 or 4 in the morning to watch the games so my sleep is pretty bad. 

But I'm loving it. 

[whcanuck]

I won’t be able to see the game, spending the long weekend in my in-laws cabin in the woods, no internet, no TV. Tonight I’ll drive into town when I think the game will be over to see how the Canucks did. I’ll have to keep myself distracted somehow lol

[whcanuck]

When you get to a game 7, pretty much any stats and such get thrown out the window. Anything can happen in a 7th game

[FijianCanuck]

Just win babayyyyy!!

Vegas is going to come out flying with PHYSICALITY.

As long as our boys expect this, and we do the same - its anybody's game.

Live and die with this team. Bleed BLUE and GREEN.
