Lol people still salty about the Petan shootout thing? Newsflash fellow Godkolzin type homers. This team sucks and it shouldn’t matter who we play in the shootout. Lol we need to tear a lot of stuff down so yolo. Play demko in the shootout as a shooter if he really wants to try once in his career. It’s not going to matter this season. Lol

I'm going to the last Canuck game in Edmonton. It would be an extra special game if it turned out that a win would equal playoffs! So win tonight!
Is realize it's like lamenting 'spilt milk'.....but in these next couple of games, the Canucks are really going to miss Bo Horvat.
Both the Wild and Flames are big, heavy teams who'll subject the Canucks to a fierce, physical forecheck. And without a guy like Horvat to win a majority of the draws and help them exit their own zone, it could be a long night in front of Thatcher Demko.

Love to see insightful carefully created posts like this that not only provide accurate assessment but also offer a fair level headed critic of the team
Look forward to your reaction when we destroy Minnesota ( fingers heavily crossed they just knuckles are white )

I wanted to go against this because it seems consensus, but this is as on the money as you can get. Was a huge toss-up for me between Myers and Schenn, but I went with Schenn. His 2 stints with us so far have really blown me away.

My other consideration for the Hume - a very, very distance second, mind you - was Brad Hunt. I'm a sucker for a "local kid makes good" story, and after a rough start to the year, I think Hunt has provided some spark on this run we've enjoyed, whether it's some clutch offense or just generally being an awesome teammate.
But Schenn is the easy winner for me. He takes no shit in his crease, he steps in to defend his teammates immediately, and he's made every defensive partner he's had this year better. And he's like a tornado in a trailer park when it comes to hitting opposing players.

Was reading an article about how Bruce went 11-1 in the Caps final 12 games to lead them to playoffs. Would be cool if he went 11-0-1 to lead the Canucks to the playoffs in their final 12.
Exact same ballot too. Lammikko and Burroughs would also be acceptable for Unsung Hero but Schenn's had a greater impact over the course of the season.
We will probably win the next two. Canucks lucked out having only like 2 teams still fighting for the playoffs in their last 5 and both of those teams being poorly coached (dallas) or Injured (LA). No idea if we make it in but we should thank the Schedulers and the NHL if we do.

I've prepared myself for the death of the Canucks tonight. I could see the warning signs from the Ottawa game that this shorthanded roster is nearly out of gas, but that's ok, because I'm happy with the character they've shown, and the steps they have taken forward (imo), such as Podz and Petey finding his game, and Pettersson elevating to his highest level yet. Bodes well for next year.
So much Doom and Gloom with us against a team that has no reason to go all out tonight. They are probably just gunna take it easy tonight and hope Talbot Gets them the win.
Minny has 103 points and is 7-1-2 in their last ten and 5 of those wins came against playoff teams (Carolina Washington LA Edmonton Dallas). And then they just beat two non playoff teams. As Travis Green would say: they got a good team over there...
How many of those wins came before they were locked into a playoff spot? They are a good team, but it wouldnt surprise me if they take it easy the rest of the season due to not having much to play for. Allow themselves to be rested and ready for the playoffs.
Edit: Also Last 2 games were close ones against an awful Montreal team and Pretty bad Sharks team. I doubt they are giving it there all right now.
Thats a pile of Apple Honey Sauce if Ive ever heard of it
I mean, yeah your probably right
Ditto for me, Mr. C, and I would add an honorable mention to Tanner Pearson for the Fred Hume.
