Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Kings - 3-2 (OT) (Boeser x2, Chiasson)

[VanJack]

Must gall some of the players--particularly the veterans--that over a 50 game stretch this was one of the best teams in entire NHL. But their first 25-games proved terminal.

A total 120 more minutes of hockey and the season is done. Then it's over to management....it's a tough call. Which version of the Canucks do you believe in? The group that played .600 hockey under Boudreau, or the group that was one of the NHL's worst under Green?

The truth is that we’re somewhere in the middle of those two teams, and for a capped out team on a track to be even more cap strapped if no big moves are made, is just not good enough to win it all. Work is cut out and it’s pretty obvious who and what needs to change.

On topic: Edler Stecher back tonight!

Closer to being one of the best teams in the NHL than whatever they were in November.

Thanks for posting that...Had some funny moments there.

Dustin Brown retiring..?...He's had a great career..Played for one team ..2 Stanley Cups.

 

[Tables of Stats]

It'll be weird seeing the Kings without Brown next season. He wasn't always the guy I wanted to see lined up against us but he's put in some hard miles and it's hard not to respect that.

I always thought Brown would've blossom'd into a constant 30-40 goal scorer a year. Good career nonetheless, one of the best all time Kings players.

Kopitar will be in the HOF when its all said and done.

Edler looks good in that Kings jersey without the cursed silver helmet

 

[EpochLink]

The Kings should bring back that silver and black colour pallet jersey's full time.
Meaning the Gretzky era jersey's.

Canucks finally realizing at long last how popular these are. There's been some smoke around the theory that these might be their 3rd jerseys next year - between the multiple late season uses, and the current 3rds now being 30% off on the Canucks' official team store.

Love the original too but the skate is right there )

Make this the main jersey's and the Orca Whale the third ones.

Byfield is on the big club? How has he played?

Unsurprisingly not very effective.

But has atleast shown signs of a nice toolbox for those that think he's an elite prospect.

 

[wonton15]

Edler Stecher is still a pairing on a new team :’) beauty

 

[Canuckle1970]

[RussianRacket]

WE WANT A WIN!!!

[wonton15]

Buttmans wet dream LA chrome domes vs Vegas Golden Knobs

 

[Canuckle1970]

Brown....remembering how he killed us in the 2012 playoffs. And now he's retiring. Where did the time go?

 

[logan5]

Do 3rd jerseys get worn in play-off games? You'd think they do. It would be awesome to see these again in a big play-off game next year.
