I dunno about you guys but I'm pretty stoked to see how this playoffs goes. We have a pretty decent young up and coming team that has the potential to win a round or 2 for sure. With these kids the skys the limit

Yeah finally JB gets to see the whole team play in pretty good health.

I'm ecstatic to have both Toffoli and Boeser rockin' it, a couple right handed snipers.

Ferland on the 3rd line with Gaud and Virtanen should be a lethal gritty line.

Making our 4th line full of battalion types in Roussel, Beagle, Sutter, Motor and BigMacEwen. (beags/sutter both healthy makes our penalty kill top 10 in the league)

I think the most important part is which goalie will step up and be the calming factor, the confidence booster to the team - Marky vs Demko.
Having your goalie play hot - rolling through the playoffs can wreak havoc on any opposing team.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

16/32 is the way to go
Ya, I see where your going with this. Temptation of more money.
I don't think they will. Too tough. Too long.

Sorry, I’m confused... how can you win most points and unsung hero? :eh:
Didn’t anyone notice when he scored?

It’s bizarre isn’t it? Almost an insult really. To me he was the co mvp with Jakob. This is what happens when fans vote. Most of them are clueless.

Lol it’s Marky’s crease to lose. Not sure about “battalions” or “lethal gritty lines” but if this group is totally healthy other than Leivo it will make for some interesting discussion regarding g potential lineups.

I’d treat it like a team starting a new season.

Miller Petey Brock
Pearson Horvat Toffoli
Ferland/Roussel Gaudette Virtanen
Ferland/Roussel/Motte Beagle Sutter

Hughes Tanev
Edler Stecher
Benn Myers

Marky

Thatcher

They actually have depth that can play if /when injuries and COVID strike. It would be nice to actually talk hockey instead of stomping on hfboards neckbeards and having the Chef regale us with his latest conquests in the DTES.

Doyle is just learning how to play with blocks, stay tuned, he may have figured out how to stack 3 high.

Haha; I think the Unsung hero was bang on. He was a big-time leader and a guy that took the time to help anyone on the team that needed
support. Many of the players noted this.

Marksrtom won two awards; MVP and "most three stars".

I'm happy Pettersson got the award for exciting. That one could have gone to Hughes as well.

.. so Ferlund is either the 3rd line or on the bench?

No chance of him on the 4th line??

Is my buddy Doyle writing books again? Where’s the Berryman when you need him?
