N4ZZY Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Hoping the boys can get another W on the road. They need it, to keep pace, if they want to make the postseason. 3-2 Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta keep Halak sharp cause we’re gonna need him to play games in the last month here. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outsiders Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Didn't get to watch last game... How was Lockwood? Been wanting to see him on the club all season. Speed noticeable, any PK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have posters and promos out for 2022 Playoffs and the fans are buzzing, that team looks to go deep into the playoffs this year. Except for not having a D or a Goallie. But they can rely upon Bettman's officiating love because the NHL wants McJesus in the big show to sell sell sell the game. Man, if the Nucks last game is meaningful, the officiating will be a huge Nucks challenge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taphouse Canuck Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 15 games left and now it's down to 5 teams competing for 2 wildcard places. We're probably going to need 22 points (to take us to 95). So maybe 10-3-2 would do it. Not a lot of room for error there! Unfortunately even the games against teams out of the playoff race will be hard because they can play freewheeling hockey knowing it doesn't change their situation. Let's hope we can handle the pressure, I know I can't..........where's that bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyGuy123 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Halak is an ex Blue and has played in that building plenty. Saving Demko for our divisional games so he’s fresh is a no brainer. Playing Halak after coming off that huge win in Colorado should have him in the right mindset, especially with the TDL over and done with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awesome and I'm glad to have seen it as it happened. Net minder extraordinaire !!! Totally agree, that was awesome to see first hand. He's worth protecting and BB discretely called out the reffs today for ignoring goal-tender interference. First time I've heard this level of negativity toward officials from BB. Wonder if he gets a call from the NHL posy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attila Umbrus Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Halak has earned another start. No doubt about that. You want your backup to feel confident too. And to throw both goalies at the blues is a smart decision I think. Yes every game is a must win right now, but they still gotta stay as fresh and rested as they can down this stretch. Managing every players work load is a smart approach. We can’t afford to burn out. Good luck we have a pretty savvy coach at the helm!…also one thing of note, everyone posting about our PK improving recently, to me it sure looks a lot better now that Scotty Walker has returned to the team. He is making a difference in that department big time imo. No wonder Bruce raves about him. GCG! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If the recent trends continue, here is how things would shake out. 95 points to get a pacific spot , 98 points to get a wild card.
