Around the League Thread | Conference Final Edition | Go Tanev and Bobby Lu?

Ya I'd rather play Dallas than Colorado. No disrespect to Dallas but I feel we just match up better.

 

[Flik]

I really don't give a f*** anymore about match ups, I just wanna close things out tomorrow and make the final 4 because we all expected it prior to this season and us getting this far was way too obvious.

 

[Nomobo]

NHL will want at least one Game 7 so all the teams they want to win get rest.

Well, we beat the Oilers and the NHL in game 5…

 

[JAK]

everybody done but us. if our series goes to seven the nhl will probably start the wcf without us. not like a canadian team being in the game would impact the ratings.

Canucks/Oilers forfeit game 1 for not showing up.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Also winning tomorrow is even more important. I imagine there won't be much time between series if we gotta fly to Dallas.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Yea they're deep. Without trying to look fwd, canucks did alot better vs stars than they did the avs

but the avs were a one line team by the end.

 

[valkynax]

That goalie interference call was mystifying.

And Avs fans really should not be this upset, it's barely 2 years since Lord Stanley landed there...

We have been told that the regular season is garbage and means nothing.

Lol tbh I think like that, especially now with different personnel and systems in play. I just kinda threw that out there for the sake of conversation ahha. Won't get too ahead of myself, still got anxiety about our big game tomorrow, hope we see 2nd period canucks for full game tm.

 

[mathonwy]

Let’s win game 6.

 

[Luongos Knob]

Hah

 

[rea]

but the avs were a one line team by the end.

While true, and without looking back forever, for whatever reason, mentally I feel like they've always owned us hahaha.

Also ultimately, every team plays every other team diff. For whatever reasons, some teams just got your number. Like the kings

 

[Slapshot_11]

Dallas is going to the finals

Both us and edm suck

 

[quat]

My call from the start for the finalists was Stars vs Rangers. I'd love to be wrong and see the Canucks make it that far, but the Canucks will have to be better than they've been to even finish off the Oilers. I wouldn't look too far ahead. I'll be very impressed / stoked if they win this series

 

[arttk]

I'm bored wouldn't mind this going another few periods soften up the teams for round 3

Noooooo it ended

 

[PG Canuck]

 

[I am toxic]

Dallas is better than the oil.

But injuries could change things.

 

[PG Canuck]

This guy is good

 

[JAK]

Typical Sportsnet coverage, a series ended in OT, let's jump to talk about the Leafs and Berube.

Sigh...

 

[Petey O]

I’m so glad we don’t have to hear about Makar as much anymore

 

[WTG]

Was hoping it would be Boston vs New York. Florida is such a boring market, I cannot believe they even have two teams. Any cup that Tampa or Florida wins, I just don't even consider them true wins.

Congrats you played in front of a bunch of fans who don't understand how off-side works and bought their tickets for 40 bucks.

I'd rather Anchorage, Alaska, get a team than Houston, tbh. Or put a team in the Dakotas.

It's great how the ghosts of Jimbo may live on and have laid a couple huge roadblocks in front of us with Dallas having Tanev instead of him being in his final year of his contract for Vancouver, and of course taking Klimovich over Stankoven.

I doubt that Benning had much of a say in Klimovich over Stankoven. GMs get way too much credit for drafting.

Benning was scouting the Tournament that Klimovich was "tearing up" with his elite shot. No doubt in my mind that he zeroed in on him after watching it

 

[rea]

Savages lol

Man, I'd love to have a guy like that on our team some day.

Dare to dream eh?
