Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Its a win, ugly but a win. Why are they falling back into a defensive play every time they are up, need to start getting shots on the net and win some periods. I think they are countering their opponents pressure. Tocchet has had them preparing for this type of hockey all season. A useful Pettersso...

When you see them do nothing even after video review it is very very apparent that the league has an agenda.

. I just wonder what adjustments he is going to make to limit McDavid / Draisaitl. With Coilers having last change, we will need to have at least 3 lines capable of regaining possession. We need Pettersson to activate his Datsyuk mode any time now ffs Lol. Petey has never been in Datsyuk’s territor...

Maybe the simple answer is keeping the lotto line intact and rebuilding a second line somehow.

I think that’s a good plan, unfortunately such a plan would require retaining the services of a guy like Lindholm.

Spit-ballin’, shits n’ giggles…what about bringing Sammy Reinhart home? He’s a UFA this summer. He’s been playing right wing for a while, just the headsy kind of winger Sneaky Pete needs. Yes he’d cost an arm and a leg, but I say we go all in on Reinhart. Paul I’m sure is telling his son to look at...

He’s making a spector of himself..

Some of the comments after the article are priceless.

Petey is getting paid Draisaitl/McDavid money give or take but he’s nowhere near the same league as those two, but this seems to be a thing with Petey, we have seen him go through long stretches of playing at a sub par level by his standards, it’s just unfortunate he’s decided to go through one now...

Petey out to Carolina for Svechnikov.

Re-sign Lindholm.

I agree with Corn regarding our management team's general competence. With the exception of $11.6M of bad spending they have been pretty good.....and there is still 14 months for them to correct that financial malfeasance. That was why I picked who I picked.....not who I think should be, but who wil...

If the Canucks keep up the punishing pressure they'll fatigue as this one goes long. It happened much the same the past 2 playoffs for them I don't care what coach says, the pipe cleaner has been playing injured and is slowly coming round to form. As this series winds on I expect his game also retu...

Goaltending is a wash with our backups vs there starter. Blueline is tilted our way, we have a much stronger and more effective defensive corps. 200 foot game? That's ours. Forward group? McDavid is good enough that he alone tilts the scales in Edmonton's favour. Draisaitl is a helluva player, but w...

So you’re saying you believe in god now?

Doc, this is progress.

We’re in there. There’s been a push and they tied it, but we’re not being that outplayed.

Considering it’s 9 on 5…..yeah. Canucks are doing well.
