Pre-Game Talk: Game 5 PDSF: Flames @ Canucks | 7PM Thursday

[Addison Rae]

lacks game was deteriorating because of how many games he got down the stretch, Lack is the better goalie but with how fatigue he looks I support playing Miller here.

I am incredibly sick of Chris Higgins. He's shifty and good defensively, fine. Sometimes he pulls off a move on a rush that surprises you. However if you want to score a goal, the puck dies at his stick.


It has been like this for a long time and it needs to change.

Matthias also needs to go. I hated Raymond and he is just another larger version. Perimeter player with a big frame, soft as a kitten. Waste of height.


Mcmillan has done what he does. Nothing more, nothing less. To expect more from a utility plug is ******** and he doesn't deserve the hate he gets.

It's not really Higgins' fault that he has been played above his pay grade and talent level for a few years now. He's a great 3rd liner and would be considered excellent value if he played there.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Best of lucky, Millsy. Hope he can backstop us to a win. But I'll repeat, it doesn't bloody well matter who's in net - if the team plays like they did in Games 3 and 4, this is over.

and you can't expect anyone to have success when their playing with vey and McMillian

 

[just22]

We still have a slim chance to come back.

Not expecting anything out of this group. If anyone's gonna get us there, it'll be Horvat.

Not if he's playing 13 minutes a game. Ice time between him and Bonino need to be swapped.

 

[galiano]

Win or lose, I would rather they had played this series with more young players. 2 D men and 2 forwards from Utica would have at least made this worth watching.

 

[Booshami]

I hope the fans boo if they put up another pathetic performance.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

had we subbed out bieksa and Sbisa with Corrado and Stanton, we ate probably looking at a tied series. instead we have this **** show

 

[MikeK]

Probably. It's definitely way too early to give him the C. Even too early to give him an A. Let's let him continue to develop before adding that kind of pressure.

Totally agree. Let him take it.

 

[Mofletz]

They may not be as good as they were back in 2011, but I have no doubt that their desire to win is still there.

It's hard to believe this when you think about the putrid game 3. Also 3 shots in the 2nd period of game 4?

It sure didn't look like the team have desire to win the game.

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

Put us all out of our misery and delusions that this team is even remotely a contender, please.

5-2 Calgary with 2 ENs.

 

[Dana Murzyn]

The team will finally get it together but Miller will be shaky. Because Canucks.

4-3 Calgary.

 

[polarbearcub]

It's entireky possible they come back.

1 win tomorrow and suddenly the pressure is on calgary to win at home. No one wants to play a game 7 on the road.

I'm not saying it's gonna happen but Getting that 4th win can cause teams to grip the sticks and get nervous.

Get the win tomorrow and try your luck in calgary. Then it's 50/50 in game 7.

 

[Hansen]

If we could somehow instill Linden's compete level into every player on the team...man.

Need to have the guys at a team meeting watching Linden play in the Finals in '94.

Something needs to light a fire under their ***** and it needs to happen quick.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Watch Millsie get us back on a roll.

 

[crazychimp]

Win one and it doesn't look that bad, I think we win tommorow don't feel to confident winning in the Saddledome though.

 

[EpochLink]

Bieksa should do the team a favor and bench his ass to the press box, he ain't doing us any favors.

 

[Zanon]

The Canucks have had a goalie change in the first round of the playoffs the last three times; Kings, Sharks, Flames.

And it's never been because of the goaltending.

 

[BuzzBuzz]

Willie getting taken to school.

 

[me2]

Watch Millsie get us back on a roll.

I'm predicting a shutout for Millsie.

 

[SnapIt]

Just play with heart.

 

[Barney Gumble]

Just play with heart.

At this point, I'll settle for ANY sign of heart.

 

[luongo321]

Willie getting taken to school.

Gold.

I'm going to game 5, guys. The last playoff game I was at was game 7 vs the stars. Hopefully I can bring them some magic. Expelliarmus!
BOLIEVE
