Tippet trap hockey...5 skaters in the neutral zone stopped that rush.

Every team knows the Canucks have no answer for that.

Only took a couple weeks for crosschecking to be forgotten about again

The NHL doesn't change. Ask beach.

Rathbone having a solid game.

Great to see.

I wonder how much of it is thinking, "screw all of the advice I'm gonna play my game the way I wanna play it". We have a history of turning offensive dmen into stay at home guys. He's best when he can roam and he's doing that well tonight.

IF YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO CRAP ALL OVER RATHBONE WHEN HE MAKES A MISTAKE

 

YOU GUYS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM WHEN HE PLAYS GOOD!

Indeed. Rathboner looks solid

[Gnarcore]

Nice Schenn brothers' moment there. 

[gregthehockeynut]

looked like that straw was up his nose for a second there...

I forgot they stopped calling crosschecking this year. 

Nah. It’s just jersey dependent. 
Here’s a handy checklist:

 

Is it Crosschecking?

-Are they a large US market?

-Are they a small US market?

-Do they have Matthews or McDavid?

Result: Not Crosschecking

 

Is it Crosschecking?
-Are they the Vancouver Canucks?

Result: Crosschecking

Does that mean we’re winning the Cup with Schenn

Get as far away from the luck carrier as possible. This applies to both offense and defence.

Soilers still only have 2 players and a power play

They actually have a decent 3rd line now. Won't look so good in those last years of Hyman's deal but right now it's pretty decent. 

[MikeyD]

Holy &^@# boys can we enter a zone cleanly at least once tonight? We've had like six 3 on 2's and not one has had a good entry. 

[-Vintage Canuck-]

At least we have shut down McDavid so far.

OMG .... the fans are having fun watching a close game right now.  They aren't dwelling on the last 8 periods.

Fans pay a lot of money to have to go and watch bad hockey. This has been their best period on the home stand. So don’t tell me they will be happy dishing out money for bad hockey.

[The Listening]

Good job, Huggy. Nice d play on McBaby.

With our history/luck we'd need both.

Well that's why I said "whatever system". Not really sure what's going on. Not sure Green does either though. 

[KILLER]

Crap. Going to be hard to kill this..
