Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I’m just glad they’re not playing the Kings in the first round. Amen to that. Let them frustrate Edmonton or Dallas - preferably Edmonton, though Vegas might be able to get in their heads. As for Nashville, they won't be an easy out but Vancouver should beat them if Demko and Hughes play to form an...

Eastern Conference: Florida/Tampa - Florida in 7. Tampa has star power and muscle memory, but Florida's too deep. Toronto/Boston - Boston in 5. Toronto has forwards, but Boston has D and a goalie. Rangers/Washington - Rangers in 6. Washington will be plucky, but the Rangers are too stacked. Carolina...

I don't think Tochet is in the 'rest'em ahead of the playoffs' school of coaching - at least not this year. Besides, I don't think they play until Sunday so that is a decent amount of rest before Game 1. The only reason I would see him resting some skaters - I can imagine the likes of Cole or Myers ...

Watched the game, just to cheer on Tampa. While there was due acknowledgement of Kucherov's feat, there was sooo much cheerleading for Matthews that it made his being stumped at 69 all the more savory.

They are going to get creamed by Boston.

One of the few exceptions where I will park my hatred of all things Bruins, just to cheer for them to stomp on the Leaves. :twisted: It's almost an annual tradition. Actually, the Eastern Conference is going to be perhaps the most entertaining in the first round. Florida/Tampa is going to be a good...

Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don’t make. I’m starting to feel that way about the Lindholm deal, time will tell, but so far as a rental which he is? Very disappointing. Coulda done better with someone else for less assets given. I think it was as much getting Kuzmenko out as bringing Li...

My gawd, Lindholm isn’t saving the day. Give yer heads a shake. He’s turned into a pour man’s Swedish version of 3rd line Center Manny Malhotra. Who knows what kind of effect he’ll have on return? That said, he’s better than some options in the bottom six. Who would you pick - Aman or Lindholm? Nob...

He's going to be the one who actually throws the switch... :) You just know it's true! Cuz, you know the switch ain’t happening, it’s an urban myth Stanle...

Besides, what would a healthy Lindholm bring to the equation? The answer to that question has yet to be seen. Dunno if we’ll see it this season.

This team has to figure it out quick. I don’t want to see them torched in the playoffs, but that’s what’s coming for them. They’re in a funk, no doubt. Part of it is not having Demko between the pipes - DeSmith’s been showing cracks since the homestand. Part of it may be players either saving juice...

Toronto - Duh, it's Toronto?? The sooner that cancerous boil suffers a cataclysmic event that takes their shitty team and their cock-sucking media empire with it, the happier I will be. Edmonton - Because their fans are insufferable when they win; and their tears when they lose give me a chub, while...

OK, so which of you bamboozled suckers pay $39.99 per month to the Athletic so you can read exclusives by the likes of Harman Dayal, please stand up I initially subscribed for Botchford's post-game pieces. Didn't always agree with him, but he was better than the seal-clapping bunch elsewhere. Dayal...

I like the Hawryluk signing. Right age bracket. Right price. Good roll of the dice for the bottom 6. If he performs, he gets some term and cash. If not, Benning can look around next summer for the next low-ante gamble. If he pans out, folks like Roussel should start looking over their shoulder.
