Actual fact: If they lose to Vegas it will be the 20th pick.

don’t threaten me with actual facts!

tbf... I just pulled that off Twitter. Thanks for correcting.

 

[Star Ocean]

Excuse me
Former 40 goals scorer William Karlsson

Yeah for one season. He hasnt come close to that.

More actual fact:
I don’t care
If the Devils draft a better player than Miller at late first round, good for them

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

9 years is the longest no play off series win in our history
Quite impressive when you think of the Leafs and Flames drought

 

[Star Ocean]

Lehner scares me. Dude has turned his game around since his boozing days in buffalo.

Still have these from the 1994 run. Last time they came out of storage was in 2011. (Mind you, now even my kids are too old to really use them.)

But - bring on Vegas. We can do this.

 

[Star Ocean]

Oh well this series will go 7.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Winnipeg Jets fan coming in peace, hopping on the Canucks bandwagon. Love this version of the Canucks the best.

Woot woot!

Either way, I don’t think Jersey’s all that happy.

I wasn’t living in Vancouver at the time. Those are hilarious!

 

[Blue and Green]

20 is pretty much exactly where the pick would've landed on the day that they traded Coleman to Tampa so New Jersey shouldn't be crying any tears. In January 2017 Coleman was a 25-year-old former 3rd-round pick of theirs who had yet to play a single game in the NHL so from that standpoint things worked out marvelously-- he ended up netting them a mid-late 1st-round pick this year plus the kid that Tampa took at #27 last year.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

How many goalies does this team have? :Sarcasm:

 

[just22]

How do you lose interest in sports? I think I'd like to try that.

Depression. At least for me a few years ago.

 

[Wilch]

St. Louis outshot us by nearly 40% in that series, 227-166. Territory and possession were hugely tilted in their favour.

Again, I don’t think we played terribly. And if St. Louis had received average goaltending this is probably a pretty even series. But their goaltending rendered it absolutely unwinnable for them.

I agree with you goaltending. I'm just curious if you think the shot quality is different based on your observations. Is there anything that tracks possession time? I think that should be considered in conjunction to SOG.

 

[Hansen]

He's not wrong, I think we're riding with the best goalie in the West right now

 

[Grub]

Now I know who the random guy was in the hallway fist bumping the team.. It was this guy, Demko's backup, didn't know Domingue was in the bubble as well.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Indeed. Markstrom has been our best player - but we certainly have other players who have made excellent contributions as well. I hope Vegas comes to know that the hard way.

 

[Grub]

Anyone watching the Dallas & Colorado game? DAMN, they are fast... the offense looks deadly.

Would be cool to see some stats on our fellow Canadian teams and what their longest no-playoff-series-drought are.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Maybe it’s just me but I was more fearful of St.Louis than I am of Vegas. I think we match up very well with them.

 

[Paulinvancouver]

Dallas clearing the way for us here...

 

[geebaan]

not historically. They’ve pretty much had our number since coming into existence.

that being said, now that they’ve beat St.Louis, who knows what this teams capable of, especially if Markstrom continues his god like play.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

I’d love to see Vancouver beat Vegas in game one in the same fashion they defeated St Louis

Just a parade of goals from all over the ice

The return of Myers and Toffoli is just gonna make it rain
