Does anyone remember what a beast Aucoin was for the Isles? I loved him as a Canuck but I remember every year he was miles ahead of everyone in the league in Mins played. Super underrated player. Kenny Jonsson was too.

Edit: had to repost cuz Troll Stomper has it out for me.

There goes my ability to like again.

What’s so bad about it

Who cares who we play

I care as I’d rather not be bored to death playing LA and prefer a Nashville matchup.

This was always going to be the outcome

DAMNIT DALLAS WHAT THE FCK.

Why couldnt we lose just one more game this season...why did we have to be so good at Hockey.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Still time

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Why are we cheering for Dallas? F that. Let's get 1st in the west.

Also don't understand why we'd rather play Nashville. Arguably one of the best teams in the league 2nd half of the season. Give me the Kings all day long.

I hate when people want to play a particular team. It's just asking for those words to come back to be thrown in your face in the future. Such bad juju.

Also you should ALWAYS cheer for your team to win. Wanting to lose or finish lower is loser mentality. In order to win a cup you need to be able to beat everyone. Otherwise what's to stop someone from saying "well they couldn't have beat Vegas" or something.

Playoff hockey is never boring. Don't worry.

I still do not get it, Why are we so afraid of Vegas who has been shit all year or LA who we dominated in every game even when the score didn't reflect it, but we aren't scared of Nashville who has been on fire since the all star break and outplayed in every game this year despite us wiining all three

It really doesn't make sense, we should be salivating over the thought of facing Vegas, not only are they weakest team in the west, but the hype they are getting from fans and media will give us a ton of momentum if we beat them, and I'll be honest I expect whoever plays them to stomp them.

f*** sakes.

We are going to end up playing LA aren’t we.

We want Florida! We want Florida! We want Florida!

I wish my words had that much power

I’d be down playing Vegas even more than the Preds. They are beatable this year. Just LA would be nice to avoid since we have trouble with their system.

Probably rather petty, but warm and fuzzies not seeing Matthews hit 70.

Started the choking early this year.

 

[Wisp]

Watching the Stars defend in zone helps put in to perspective how well the Canucks defend. Not that the Stars are bad, just that for the Canucks its an actual weapon

Vegas without Stone (top two way winger in the league) and Pietrangelo (top pairing D) are beatable.

If Vegas gets both guys back and both guys return to form in a series then they are a team I could see flipping on the proverbial switch.

As of right now though...I see them as a rather weak side, especially in net. Thompson and Hill have been absolute shit.

 

[Hammman]

Nashville it is!

 

[Oliewud]

lets f***in go smashville

 

[Jay26]

Aaaand Dallas is going to OT, which locks a matchup with Nashville.

 

[Canucks LB]

Bring on Nashville baby
