Soucy is such an underrated steady presence

Feeling like road legs are creeping in around now. We're maybe 5 extra puck clears a game from being unstoppable.

They were in New Jersey on Saturday that barely counts as travel

Tocchet has implemented the trap lol

Blueger is really solid. Love his 2-way game.

It will not work if the Canucks go far in the playoffs

There aren't too many NHL coaches and teams that don't do it though.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Hronek is drunk. Wtf was that?

 

[Ozone]

Nice hit, Joshy!

 

[biturbo19]

Man this team really does just collapse to the net when they're up. But unlike awful garbage Torts hockey...they do it with purpose and system and it actually works.

 

[PavelBure10]

Not sure if Laffreniere reached bust category yet. Would love to switch him with Kuzmenko.

 

[Kryten]

Nice hit, Joshy!

It was beautiful and not a peep from Shorty

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

This arena is silent as a church

Even tho I dont like it you really cant argue with the results.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

Canucks match up well against the Rangers. A 1994 Finals rematch would be pretty amazing.

While I agree with you, they’re the best team in the league at defending leads. Basically turn 3rd periods into low event time wasters which is pretty much a perfect strategy.

 

[biturbo19]

He's turning into a pretty darn solid Middle-6 complementary winger.

But i still wouldn't swap him for the upside that Kuzmenko has at all.

 

[Shareefruck]

It's nail-biting to watch but the turtle strategy can be smart and effective, IMO.

Is it really his strategy? A lot of times during games like this he says that he wanted the team to not sit back as much in the 3rd period, it was Green who encouraged this.

 

[supercanuck]

Is the Pronger commercial the worst commercial ever?

 

[canuckking1]

Boeser is so greedy with the empty net. All he has to do is slide it to Petey and he’s off

 

[Kryten]

Boesers been a poke checking machine

 

[logan5]

Damn. Pettersson had that

 

[biturbo19]

It's nail-biting to watch but the turtle strategy can be smart and effective, IMO.

I hate it, but i understand it. And when it's done properly like this...it works 50% of the time all the time.
