Also it's game #69. Nice...

 

[mouz135]

Oh. The blues again.

 

[M2Beezy]

Just need to go 11-2-1 in these last 14 games. Like a walk in the park cause WE.WANT.IT.MORE.

 

[theguardianII]

Players are turning it down.
The guys without contracts or wanting jobs in the NHL will play hard but some with contracts are taking shifts off.
While Miller is valuable there is no doubt what he feels about the teams odds of getting in at 3.1%. His game is so obvious less than 100%.
Surprisingly Pearson puts in more dynamic shifts for "his" game.

Can't blame Bruce for anything.

This team is tracking the same as the last 5 years.

They have less points than last year at this time.

See what a change in appearance can do, so many fans think this team has turned around. This is just a change in perception and an act of hope.

They will not lose all their remaining games, so that said they match up well with St Louis.

Who wins? Does it matter? Nux by 2. I am always wrong

Aiming too low. They should go 14-0 the rest of the way.

What does that part about Pearson mean?

And less points than last season at this time? What are you talking about?

The part about Pearson just means the type of game he plays usually. He is being pretty steady in his game even robust at times but it makes him look much better in attitude on the ice.

A correction there, the year before the 2019/2020 season at 69 games the Canucks had 78 pts and were 4th in the division. With a win percentage of .500

This year at 68 games they have 73 points and are 5th in the division
Win% - .470

Last year at game 56 they had 50 points this year they had 60 pts Win% - .482

Just comparisons is all this is

I'm not saying it's Elias Pettersson....


but it's Elias Pettersson.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Seems they have some injured players becoming available to play - Dickenson, Poolman, Burroughs (no Sutter). I'm fine with Burroughs, but does he replace Hunt or Dermott? Rather keep Lockwood in than Dickinson, but I guess the management, at some point, will need to see what Dickinson brings and make their off-season decisions accordingly.

Tonight's game - which Blues goalie are we facing tonight?

 

[wonton15]

Chiasson makes me miss Dickinson. But we all know Chiasson and his 11 points is staying in

Honest question, does Hunt merit taking out right now? I really like Burroughs, but Hunt has played some really solid hockey of late. He's also enormously popular with his teammates and coaches. I don't know that it's an automatic conversation that he comes out if Burroughs or Poolman become available.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

This is really rotten news, and a tough way to end a difficult campaign for Hoglander.

I think he will get taken out for Poolman but probably not Burroughs until Hunt falters. I see the argument there for sure

 

[rypper]

Yeah I was still kind of clinging to the hope that he'd be able to go to Abbotsford with Podkolzin at season end.

This gonna be a live thread mods?

More like they need to go 1-11-2.

I guess they'll go "status quo" on defense until they get eliminated officially. If they're still hanging in, then Burroughs could be a better choice when they're playing a tougher team like Vegas. They'll need to get some looks at these guys to assess trade moves in the summer. Would love to boot the Dickinson and Poolman contracts.

Yes. Patience young grasshopper.

 

[wonton15]

Yes. Patience young grasshopper.

What do live threads do? vs not live threads?
