Is there any doubt McDavid comes up HUGE in game 7?

I mean, is there a bigger guarantee than this?

(not a jinx post...so do not go there...I'll put my money where my mouth is)

 

[Bizzare]

Poor Boeser.. really shitty

 

[thebigbea]

With boeser out, 99% over for Vancouver

 

[Bizzare]

Curious what this will do to the lines. Maybe just put Miller with Garland and Joshua

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Expect the Canucks to rally strongly around Boeser. Extremely well liked guy in the locker room

 

[Canucks LB]

Yikes hope brock gonna be okay

 

[Lawzy]

Boeser

I honestly can't think of a more likeable guy. He can't catch a break.

 

[Dust]

Terrible news re: Boeser.

 

[Duodenum]

Going to be real tough with Boeser out now.

 

[syz]

Hope the best for Boeser. That's a really shitty reason to have to miss a game 7 (and potentially more playoff games if they pull it out without him).

 

[Frank Drebin]

Boeser has been a legit stud this series. Unfortunate timing hope it's nothing serious

 

[zar]

Wow! That’s really unfortunate for Boeser and the Canucks. Never like to see a player go down like that. Boeser seems like a great guy - he has had a very good series and an amazing season. Must be serious, hope he has a full recovery.

 

[Warh1ppy]

I think we can all agree.

We fans deserve to see Zadorov and Kane finally throw down this series after all that back and forth

 

[KCC]

Skinner scares me. You just don’t know what you are going to get. Sometimes he’s great and a lot of the time in the playoffs at least, absolutely terrible. He’s so inconsistent. He could shut out the Canucks or let in 6. You have no idea. That’s why I truly don’t think he’s a #1.

 

[Luck 6]

That really really hurts…

Well, doesn’t look good there, but we’ll see how it goes.

 

[PuckG]

Hopefully Boeser is alright sooner than later.

Tough break. Hope your team doesn’t rally around around this.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Boeser has been an oiler killer. Huge loss. Canucks still have a lot guys to make up for it so I wouldn’t say they are done but some have to step up and but that still just a brutal loss.

 

[CupofOil]

Damn. That’s a big loss for the Canucks. Pretty much the series right there.

No, stop with this stuff. The Canucks still have a formidable team worthy of respect. I hope the Oilers feel the same or they'll get cooked like they did in Game 5.

In any event, wishing Boeser the best. He's had some real bad luck with injuries and now this.

 

[Mez]

Boeser

I honestly can't think of a more likeable guy. He can't catch a break.

For real, hes been a thorn in the Oilers side this series and I still cant not like the guy...

 

[TheNumber4]

On a lighter note, I think Garland has been the Nucks best player. Super gritty too, look at this epic battle he had with the linesman.

 

[PuckG]

Guys…Canucks fans…I hope Brock is healthy as soon as possible and glad to hear it’s nothing life threatening and but your rallying cry…

#WinItForBrock is lame.

What about - #BrockIt2TheWin or #LetsBrockTheOilers

 

[syz]

Canucks have preached the whole "greater than the sum of their parts" thing all year. Somebody will be able to step in and be at least serviceable. Somebody getting elevated into Boeser's spot may open the door for the Oilers 3rd or 4th lines to finally do something, though.

 

[zar]

Kane doesn’t need to, nor should he fight Zadorov.

6’6” 248 lbs
Vs.
6’2” 218 lbs

4” and 30 lbs is a huge difference.

To put it in perspective, from a
size comparison, that’s like Evander Kane fighting Pius Suter.

 

[McFlyingV]

What I'm saying is regardless of what happens in game 7, the decisions for the Canucks are unlikely to change; whereas if the Oilers lose in round 2 again, there will be bigger decisions on what to do going forward. I'm not insulting the Oiler organization or its players, I'm pointing the obvious differences both these organizations face ahead of game 7 - cup or bust vs. house money.

As far as Vancouver's CAP moving forward there is less worry in Vancouver than there has been in the last 10 years. Patrik Alvin has had a fantastic year with an overachieving storyline. This management group has shown good tact and ability to pro scout. The team has a ton of CAP space available so whomever they decide to keep, chase, qualify, buyout, trade, etc isn't really what worries Canuck fans. There is more concern in Edmonton with Ken Holland.

That's fair. I'm just saying its not like this season is just the start of the Canucks trying to contend. Their depth is likely to take a massive hit next season and a lot of their big name guys are either about to start massive contracts or are going to be in the next 2 years which even further cuts into their depth which at the moment is the biggest strength of this team. Without really good depth the Canucks don't have some spectacular stars that shine above other contenders stars. Obviously this is a massive year for the Oilers and might have huge implications on what happens with McDavid and Draisaitl going forward, but this is also a pretty massive year for Vancouver who probably won't get this same opportunity again in the next few years.

We have? Weird. Sounds made up to me. We have said next man up because that's all you can do.
