Bo fan Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Another 2 points up for grabs - Halak should be up for the task. Let Demko get rested up for the next 2. GCG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BCNate Posted February 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2022 This is a must win. We can jump the Ducks, and get within 1 point of the Stars for the #2 WC, and within two points of Vegas for the 3 seed in the pacific. 6 of our last 16 games are head to head against these two. I don;t care what the odds say, we have a legit shot if getting in, and doing some damage. 3 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 With Halak in the net, the team will need to play even harder without the Demko safety net. GCG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 JUST WIN BABY! Vancouver (.537) has moved ahead of Anaheim (.536) in Points Percentage (P%). Winnipeg (.519) and San Jose (.509) are not far behind (.519 and .509), but they are behind (and we are HOT). Scratching and Clawing our way up to the playoffs now means we have to pass a few of the following: Edmonton is within reach (.575) 3 points up on us with 1 game in hand. Next up is Current Third Wildcard Holder, Vegas (.585) 4 points up on us with 1 game in hand. Then Current Second Wildcard Holder, Dallas (.587) 3 points up on us and 2 games in hand. Biting and Pulling Hair gets us within Spitting and Slapping Distance of: Current First Wildcard Holder, Nashville (.604) 6 points up on us and 1 game in hand. Then Current Second in the Pacific, LA (.613) 7 points up on us and 1 game in hand. Long shot but doable perhaps (?) Current 3rd in the Central, Minnesota (.650) 7 points up on us but 4 games in hand too.

Nucker 67 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Really liking a couple of lines: Hoglander - Pettersson - Podkolzin Highmore - Lammikko - Motte I also think Horvat and Miller should stay (cond on money and term) That leaves Boeser, Garland, Pearson and Dickinson who I feel should be moved. I'll be keeping an eye on Zacha, Severson and Smith in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Garland has another level to his game, and is on a vey good deal. I'll bet you could get Zacha+ Smith for Boeser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure we always get New Jersey on the second half of back to backs. That would explain half those losses. So that leaves like 5 or 6 at home which is still a high number but we were also a terrible team during that stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading good/great assets for prospects and/or hope that late 1st round draft picks work out is stupid. In term of your second tier list: - Trade Boeser - Try to unload Dickenson; even for futures if you can - Why the hell would we trade Garland. He is a bonifide 2nd line player on a good contract signed longterm. - Pearson: Ive beat on the guy for years, but in his absence this year, you can see he is a guy that just gets stuff done; right place at right time with size. Another good player on an ok contract. Doing the above will free up the cash to resign Horvat, Miller, and Motte longterm, and allow the canucks to go get another garland level player (a guy like Toffoli would have been great @ 4.25m). Hogz - Petterson - Podz Pearson - Horvat - Garland Motte - Miller - FA FA/AHL - Lammiko - Highmore On Defense; - Trade Hamonic at TDL for what you can get - Try to unload Poolman in off season; even for futures if you can - Sign a true stud Defensive RHD in FA OEL-Myers Hughes-Schenn Rathbone/Burroughs/Hunt- FA RHD Then, when Schenn bows out after next year... OEL-Myers Hughes- FA RHD Rathbone/Burroughs - Woo/Schenn type Vet In my opinion, the unsung hero that is saving the D is Schenn. He has covered up the Hamonic sh!tshow all year, and allowed us 2 cheap years to transition the defense to teh future.

DeNiro Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Gotta throw lots of pucks at the net from everywhere today. Gonna need four or five in this one I think. Not confident in Halak’s ability this season especially after sitting for long stretches. Demko has also been covering a lot of defensive breakdowns this season too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taphouse Canuck Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 If they play with the intensity of the last 2 games then we should be able to score enough regardless of who is in net. Having said that, we have a history of playing down to the level of weaker teams. I'm trusting BB to make sure that they are mentally prepared. Another 5 - 2 win will do nicely, please and thankyou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Tighten buckets & keep aware around Slew Foot Subban. Haven't seen so many dirty, punk, low-life plays from a D since maybe Pronger, or Bryan Marchment. Bet the Devs can't wait to boot his 9 mill AAV into the upper atmosphere. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
