Canucks did not have any firepower against Edmonton. Will Roy make all the difference?
Kesler hasn't looked very good after returning from injuries before, I am expecting him to need some games before he can contribute much. I don't think he'll get soft minutes from Vignault, either. It's a lot to ask, expecting him to carry the team in the playoffs.
The real issue, for me, is how done are the Sedins? We will know right away. They play Edmonton again, tonight. I would be surprised if they are effective. They have looked tentative since Kassian came off their line. When Kassian finishes his bus tour, he might be able to contribute, but that's unknown.
Luongo just told everybody he'd tear up his contract to leave. Is this going to be an issue? Five million to ride the bench and he is hating it? What does that sound like to a guy who works his butt off every shift for twenty percent of that? Team psyches are fragile.
This team was built to win on the powerplay. Now, there is no powerplay. Hmm?
I said second round because this team has a lot of speed and might surprise a slow defense in a series, but that won't work twice.
