I guess the worry is he might take penalties but then we already had Karlsson doing that due to a lack of speed

almost

Canucks are fortunate that they're still basking in the afterglow of the Stuart Skinner meltdown. With even average goaltending, the Oilers would easily be up 3-1 in this series.

But that's the value of being in the playoffs. You learn in a hurry where your team needs help. Allvin and Rutherford of course have taken in every game--so they're seeing the same things we all are.

Based on these playoffs alone, I'd prioritize signing Lindholm and Zadorov. As for their other UFA's, it really hard to see a lot of them coming back.

And if Pettersson played like a 11.6m player and cole didn't score on us like 5 times we would've swept

Whats yours point bud

I hope everyone is having a blast. We are in a second round playoff series against a rival that was one of the favourites for the cup. We aren't down 3-0. We aren't getting blown out.

We are up against a team that has really shoddy goaltending and defense. We can win this series. It is a best of 3.

Get mad at decisions and players but cut the doom and gloom bullshit. When the season is over we can discuss what to do in the future. Enjoy the moment after 10 excruciating years.

Someone needs to put EP’s face on a milk cartoon.

Been missing since February.

Hope Rick decides to move Petterson up to the top line for Game 5 to try to get him going. Blueger can fill in as #3C for the meantime. Unless Pettersson is dominating on faceoffs but I dont think he is.

Yeah I always think that strapping Mik and some other anchor with Pete, then blaming him completely for not getting anything going is a bit heavy handed.

Of course, he's not free from blames, but in a situation like this it's better to set him up for success instead of just forcing him to make fillet mignon out of diarrhea.

I wish @nerevarine would just post in our thread tonight, don't worry yo, our mods don't ban peeps willy nilly. We're having a grand ol' time in Canucks land.

Having an absolute blast, this is the way!

McDavid did literally the same thing Karlsson got penalized for about five minutes later (no call of course). That drove me nuts.

I love having emotion for games again. Win or lose. Being pissed right off and hating opposing players, not my own team's roster.

My wife is pissed off at me tonight and telling me it is just a game. She doesn't get how bad cole has looked. I try to explain it but she doesn't listen or pay attention.

Yup, count me in as having a f***ing blast. I’m making so many memories watching this with my boys, too. They’ve basically grown up never knowing this team to have success, so this is the first time we’ve gotten to enjoy playoff hockey together.

I hope the ride can keep going a little while longer!

In Ryan S. Clark we trust

My wife refuses to watch hockey - doesn’t like it at all. Suffers the fact that the boys play it and I coach it.

But even she has become aware of Cole. When my son’s cousin calls him after the game and says “I WANT TO FIRE COLE OUT OF A CANNON INTO THE SUN”, she notices.

My fiancée isn’t a hockey fan either. She likes Zadorov though for his stances on the war in Ukraine, so it’s cool

To think, just a year ago we were mired in darkness, wondering if our team would ever be relevant again, and then bam, it looks like a contending window has opened.

House money now.

"Cup or Bust" for the other side lmao.... I wanna tear their hearts out just for the LULZ now.

We're just getting started

She gave me a "yay sports" after game 1.

 

[B-rock]

Yeah Tanev is a must signing. Expressed his desire to return to the Canucks, familiar with the lockeroom and environment + proven chemistry with Hughes.

Not surprised, he was a rock for us during the lockout playoffs.

Makes me ill he was ever let go by tweedledee.
We found him, he was a warrior from day 1 to his last game here. That play on Hronek in the last minute wouldn’t have happened to Tanev. Not entirely Hroneks fault but Tanev would have found a way to sacrifice himself to make that play.

I think I got lucky.

My wife was born and raised in Tampa and is a huge hockey fan (Flyers as her first love lol, Tampa second) she's totally a Canucks fan now too.

 

[crazychimp]

Newell Brown released by the Ducks, maybe we can use him for next season for the pp.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Ian Cole has been directly responsible for 6 goals against in this series.

 

[Bgav]

why is @nerevarine allowed to troll? what a loser lmao

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Women. Unbelievable.

On the flip side, you can have flat out lunatics like Rachel “I watch you while you sleep” Doerrie who have a vested interest in hockey.

So really there’s pros and cons both ways.

 

[bh53]

@nerevarine not tired yet from laugh reacting all the posts in this thread?

Who do we slot in over him though, he’s been bad but he also has been in position most of the time.

Y'all have partners that love you? At least being a Canucks fan, I'm used to everything I love failing and disappointing me too

Nah can't be as salty as Edmonton fans and ban people for looking at the nucks forum
