Pre-Game Talk: Series Talk: Canucks vs. Blues in the Western Conference Quarterfinals

[Star Ocean]

oh boy, binnington loves his Pettersson match up doesnt he?

 

[dombrova22]

Something tells me this goes one of two ways: Blues in 4 or the Nucks shock the world and oust them in 5.

should be a close series!

Lmao

 

[Flik]

I really didn't want the Blues, they feel like a sleeping giant just waiting to be unleashed. Hope we can pull off the upset.

 

[Star Ocean]

does blues have anyone injured or out?

 

[EpochLink]

Great googly moogly.

Canucks vs Blues.

 

[Slapshot_11]

Myers needs to be physical, because the Blues are very

What will just end up happening is him taking a bunch of penalties

Haha forgot about that "beef".

 

[GetFocht]

On the flipside, if Canucks best Blues, their confidence will be sky high and I believe they have a legitimate chance to make it to the cup finals.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

It's all coming full circle.

Hope so. And maybe, just maybe, the canucks could play the role of the 2009 Blackhawks, with some ultra skilled, ultra talented young players that nobody thought were quite ready to challenge for the cup...but did.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Yeah I'd rather he play a little soft than constantly put the Blues on the PP.

 

[Star Ocean]

damn, for some reason I thought Tarasenko was out :/

 

[dombrova22]

Barbashev is out and Bouwmeester.

Nice to see some positivity around here. I like it!

 

[Captain Bowie]

Barbashev is out and Bouwmeester.

Unfit to play or out of the bubble altogether?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Even though the Blues are a better team than Dallas I feel like we match up against the blues better.

Happy with the outcome.

 

[polarbearcub]

Either way it’s great experience for the kids

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

damn, for some reason I thought Tarasenko was out :/

He was for the majority of regular season, yet the blues was still at the top of West

 

[NedFlanders]

Going to get intense in our home... my wife is from a city close to St. Louis. One of our first dates was a playoff game between Vancouver and the Blues in 2003.

 

[dombrova22]

Unfit to play or out of the bubble altogether?

Not sure. Barbashev is listed as OUT - Personal. Bouwmeester DL - Chest.

 

[Captain Bowie]

Not sure. Barbashev is listed as OUT - Personal. Bouwmeester DL - Chest.

I thought Barbashev left to be with his wife for a coming baby, maybe I heard wrong.

Speaking of which, will Benn be available soon?

 

[Bankerguy]

If you think Brodin, Dumba, Suter and Spurgeon were difficult to play against, wait until we get a potential 7 game series with Pietrangelo, Parayko, and Dunn. Remember how good Duncan Keith was in all those Chicago series.... how he could play 27 minutes a night.... Pietrangelo is just as good.
Oh, and then behind those three studs, in their bottom pairing they still have Justin Faulk. This will be really tough. Special Teams will need to shine here.

 

[Star Ocean]

Well it is going to be just like Minnesota wild, but with offense.

Gonna be a tough series, but arent Blues kinda old? Looking at their stars they are aging.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Real question: Canucks Alumni vs Blues Alumni. Who wins?

 

[Captain Bowie]
