100% agree.
We have top 5 PK in the league we can afford to take a penalty if it results in throwing the goalie off stride.

the more I understand about hockey the less I understand when stuff like this happens.
they soundly outplayed the kings. I didn't think they could do that.
great win, I like being surprised.

This is what I said in the pre-GDT...
In terms of the lines/pairs and ice-time WD pretty much had it as close as reasonably possible to what I wanted to see with the exception of Stanton.
Higgins is a much better option next to Bonino and Vrbata than Matthias is. The Vey line did well in limited minutes in a role that they're actually suited for. Thought Hamhuis and Weber were very good out there too and their Corsi +/-'s were excellent.
Though, admittedly, even with those changes I didn't expect them to outplay L.A at 5 on 5 so it's very encouraging to see. Now they just need to keep things this way and continue to play guys where they belong.
Good to see the coach reads HF.

Vanuck new Canucks coach! I'm glad to see Willie adjust the lines though. Vey works better in a limited role and not playing against the other teams top line. Once Kassian comes back I hope he suits him with Matthias since it seemed like they had chemistry before Kassian went to play with the Sedins. Still don't like the Bieksa-Sbisa pairing thoughThis is what I said in the pre-GDT...

Who the **** is this tool?
Don't get too attached... just a word of advice.
Was just gonna say, absolutely ****ing Pejorative Slured. And then watch Burr hit Toffoli next game we play them and get suspended for the rest of the season or something stupid. The league is so off with these suspensions it's ridiculous. Quit worrying about fining divers you scrubs.
Honestly whens the last time someone got suspended for a hit on us? Keith? Was he even suspended? I know there hasn't been one this year even though Matthias and Dorsett have gotten elbows to the head.

Toffoli isn't a dirty player and he's a first time offender. I didn't expect anything serious, but getting off scott free is a complete joke. Should have been at least a fine in there to document that he had an offense.

I guess the NHL is more interested in seeing a big market like Los Angeles make the playoffs over protecting its own players from brutal hits from behind. I would love to see the rationale behind this, and no, the player being Burrows isn't a good enough reason.
Tin foil hat it is.

He'll never be a repeat offender if they never apply discipline in the first place.
More like tinfoli hat.
Joke of a league. I wish the nhl officiating/management would be exposed. I'd love to see some anonymous hackers expose the hell out of them.
WTF no games!!!!!! Burrows could have broken his neck then Toffoli would have gotten 20 games or more. No major injury no nothing?

Ottawa fans got Hamburglar masks. The first 10,000 people at the Kings game in April should get tinfoil Toffolli hats.
I hope LA is out of the playoffs next time we play them so they can focus on retribution and not the 2 points.

Jannik Hansen isn't dirty either. Nor is Edler. Being wreckless should come with consequences no matter the history. It's pretty easy to argue intent after what went down earlier in the game between these two.
I like Toffoli too but this is why we continually sit back and call this league a bush league. There is no consistency. You know for damn sure had that been burrows burying Toffoli we'd have been awaiting an in person hearing.
