Win this series and I’ll get some massive rick 1980s shirtless tocchet livery/stickers on my datsun.

100%. Though I find the timing of it all interesting. Getting Pettersson on the podium for the first time in a while, followed by a sizable roster decision.

two last resorts at the same time

last resort is trotting him out there and letting him not be able to hide from the embarrassment he’s feeling, which is a risky venture

and pulling out guys who you trust but do nothing for guys you don’t necessarily trust but have higher upside, also risky

feels like pulling the goalie with three and a half minutes left but look where that got us when he tried it

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Tocchet showing some testicular fortitude tonight

"Swinging the bat", as he said.

Hopefully the boys respond and come out ready for a full 60.

Canucks, apart from game 01 and briefly in game 3, have failed to take advantage of the Oilers when McDavid & Draisaitl are not on the ice. Need to win those minutes and haven't been doing that. Ideally these new look lines get Petey some confidence and Blueger reuniting with Joshua and Garland provide some heavy shifts.

 

[Donuts]

Much better than last game lineup

With some adjusted linemates, lets see if Hoglander can produce on the scoresheet instead of doing cardio.

Canucks will win by 2+ goals

Canucks in 6

 

[Lenny Levino]

I have a good feeling about tonight. I think the IKEA line is gonna do well. We'll see at least one goal from Pettersson.

Is Mikheyev’s contract buyout friendly or are we best off dealing him? Capfriendly is glitching for me

I wonder if his knee is pooched. If so maybe we can robidas island him or have him get another surgery/stash on LTIR.

Mikheyev just doesn't seem to win puck races anymore. He was always good for breakaways but that ACL injury just zapped his speed.

Me getting all excited because @pitseleh liked my post meaning they remember to login.

Pits! You been enjoying these playoffs?

 

[Tact]

Imagine PA managed to pull off Mikheyev+prospects+picks for Guentzel

 

[Jovofan]

These line combos have me feeling way more confident about our chances tonight than I was after Game 4. Can't wait for tonight!

Now we just need to make some adjustments to the PP. I really think putting Zadorov as the net front presence for a few PP1 shifts could introduce the right amount of chaos to f*** with the Oilers.

I'd rather use Joshua for that.

That works too!

Darn, I was hoping they would run it back with Skinner and reunite the Nurse-Ceci pairing.
