Lets go Canucks!! Win this! CANUCKS win this 3-2.

 

[Flik]

This feels like a must win if we want any serious shot at taking the series so..... just f***ing win.

If that Sharks team can do it, so can we.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

It’s going to be an excruciatingly long wait until tonight. Let’s even this thing up, boys!

 

[m9]

I didn't notice it was a 6:45 start until now - good stuff. Helps the wait time a bit.

They had a lot of help from the refs

 

[ghostingtaro]

Is there a Sarge Collin from headquarters here?

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Just don't get blown out.

 

[RussianRacket]

Just don't get blown out.

What is this cowardly post?

How about this:

JUST. WIN.

They had a lot of help from the refs

To be fair though, they blew a 3-1 series lead and 3-0 lead in Game 7. The major was huge but Vegas was just unable to close it out.

This team is beatable but everyone needs to step up, and Hughes/EP/Bo will need to lead the way. Motte scoring 2G each game would be nice too.

Go Canucks Go!

Vegas are massive chokers. Team is extremely good that they just go on cruise control for long stretchers. You have to capitalize on those periods.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think the big key for our big players was put best by Kevin Bieksa:

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Toffoli is taking the game day skate and is a possibility for tonight. Not that I'd expect him to come out gangbusters, but it would be a nice shot in the arm for our offense and give the Vegas defenders one more guy to keep an eye on.

Would be nice to have Toffoli back.

Could you imagine if Virtanen/Gaudette get scratched instead of Loui lol

You laugh, but I can see that happening. For all the flak Eriksson gets, he’s a big part of the PK and solid defensively. I’m not saying I’d be in favour of him staying in, but I could easily see it happening.

I laugh in sarcasm because it's a real possibility. Loui just shouldn't be part of the top 6 ever and whenever he's in the lineup, I feel Green overvalues his defense and anchors him to Bo, which sucks.

 

[supercanuck]

With(/If) Toffoli back, I wonder if we can form 3 lines to counter LV's depth. Or just load up on 2 lines and play them 20 minutes each.

 

[wonton15]

If Toffoli is back, we know he won't be 100%. Gotta wonder if that might hurt us more than help

Although, an injured Toffoli is still far better than Eriksson lol

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Miller Petterson Virtanen
Pearson Horvat Toffoli
Motte Gaudette Boeser

Top 9 I'd roll with.

I coul see Gaudette getting scratched over Loui for sure.

If you scratch Loui and keep Gaudette then your exposing someone like JT Miller to block shots and PK more.

Both Loui and Gaudette would play well under 8 minutes anyways if Tofolli comes back.

Might as well play Loui who can kill penalties and be defensively responsible most of the time

 

[FreeMcdavid]

Miller Petterson Virtanen
Pearson Horvat Toffoli
Motte Gaudette Boeser

Top 9 I'd roll with.

Gaudette and Boeser on the same line? 2 of our not so great forwards in terms of 2way hockey. That would be disastrous imo.

Miller- Pettersson- Boeser
Pearson- Horvat- Tofolli
Motte- Sutter- Virtanen
Roussel- Beagle- Eriksson
