Where did I say for him not to do this in the playoffs? I'm talking about doing that every single game during the regular season. Thanks for assuming I was talking about the playoffs though.

I hope they get a chance at an elite C prospect or Drouin. The fans there deserve a bit of offensive to brighten their days, Nashville is a honestly run team and pleasant fanbase. MacKinnon/Barkov/Drouin this year and then another one next year to go with Forsberg and they can move forward pretty comfortably.

I think his point was that we're not in the playoffs yet. But yes once the playoffs start Burrows and Lapierre both need to play how Burrows was tonight.
Edit: Whoops didn't see he replied already. My bad.

We can't flip a switch, we need to ramp up for the playoffs, if we play passive going into the post season they we will be screwed. We need to be in playoff mode
I was talking about going down the stretch (right now) going into the playoffs
Kes is back, he looks like one of the best players in the world again lately. Keep him and Roy together for the love of all that is god.

what? He had a great game. Just because he didn't score doesn't mean he didn't do anything

We do NOT need Burrows getting hurt ramping up for the playoffs. You can't flip the energy switch when you've been playing lazy all season but you can flip the pest switch.

If he didn't mix it up with Rinne at the end I would say his game wasn't memorable at all, and if that's the only thing he did to be noticed tonight then he really didn't have that good of a game. 1 shot on goal, no points, I wouldn't say he looked better than an average 3rd/4th liner tonight.
Kassian isn't a sniper last I checked and did his part well. Need some emotion on this team and he's one of the few players with heart right now.

Yeah, that's fair enough, but the post I originally responded to was talking about Burrows playing like that all of the time. By all of the time, I was assuming that poster meant every single game the Canucks play. That simply will take too much of a toll on him throughout an entire regular season. The refs let Burrows get murdered without calling penalties. If he were to play like that for an entire season, he'd be injured for the majority of it. I have no problem with him ramping it up down the stretch to the playoffs though.
Kassian needs to bring a little more energy to his game still. He's floating around half the time not bothering to put enough effort into retrieving a loose puck or clearing the zone.

Totally disagree. Thought he was the best value for money D man tonight. loved how he came in at the end during the Kassian tussle.
He's 22 years old man give him a break. Every player can't get a point every game. He didn't mess up once this game and didn't make mistakes. Give credit where credit's due. Besides, you know why he's playing like a 3rd/4th liner? Because he's on the 3rd/4th line. If he's on the first 2 lines, he plays the part of a top 6 forward.

Wasn't he the goat on our 2nd goal against when he let Butler cut right in? Or was that someone else?
I liked how he came in for Kassian for sure, but I want that out of all our players. Alberts gets exposed way too much for my liking.

No doubt. Played another very solid game, just as he has for the last 2-3 weeks.
Being a solid 3rd line player at 22 years old on a contending team is pretty good, especially if you consider the package that Kassian brings.
