I am surprised how well they played the Blues if that continues it's going to be a tough series for either team to win and some great hockey , Canucks have a good run going be fun to see them in this next series .

First game of the third round in the books and Dallas with a nice win over the Avs, extending that series to at least 5 games! See you tomorrow Vegas!

I really don’t consider much from before this season, this team took a huge step forward this year. This season they’re 1-1 against Vegas and I really don’t see anywhere that Vegas is head and shoulders better than Vancouver. Will be a really interesting series.

oh before I forget... did any other team have "moving day" today? I'm a little concerned that pushed them out of their routine immediately before they were to play the next round and now they're in a new hotel with new beds & pillows.
Not good timing NHL - did they really have to move?

Nucks are the only 7-12 seeds advancing to “Round 2”, so I assume no other teams have to.

This was part of the plan all along if teams move forward (consolidating the teams to one hotel). It makes sense, as they’ve gone from 24 teams, to 16, to 8 now.
2011 still hurts

I believe the Islanders would be in the same boat in Toronto.

The only 7-12 seed to advance. That means we’re one of the top 8 teams in the league this year.
Wow. Just hit me.

I stand corrected, you are right, checked that in Toronto the 6-12 seeds stay in the 2nd hotel, and NYI were 6th.
MAN i love this teamman I love this team

Here's a look at the Vegas Golden Knights' offensive opportunities in the first period of their most recent match against Chicago.
Notice all of the cross-ice pass attempts in the offensive zone, the crisp outlets, head-man passes through the neutral zone, and the aggressive, three-man forecheck. The defence are active in the offensive zone too. Vegas will be a handful for the Canucks defensively, as Vancouver generally had a tough time tracking backdoor plays this season.
A little bit of the second period as well:
I posted a few short clips on Twitter, including a collection of VGK's goals in their matches against Vancouver in 2019-20.

Hope Newell Brown spent all of today analyzing the special teams. Will need the PP clicking to have a chance in this series. Yes, that means NO DROP PASS!!

last night i came across a twitter post, regarding jason botchford may he rest in peace. it was something he wrote a small excerpt. somebody asked him "why does our world seem to be collasping and eveything seemed so shitty. he responded with "thats the way it goes, but don't forget it goes the other way too"
thats the way hockey in vancouver is. usually, this is the way it goes. but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too" I can't wait for it to go the other way" i loved listening to jason botchfords intakes pre game and postgame. he was that damn good in the media. vancouver fans and radio personalites loved him. he Was agreesive and ambrasive in his approach. if he was still alive today, i swear he will have a TON to write and talk about. training camp and covering the playoffs. he was that DAMN GOOD. win it for Jason botchford!

no idea yet. i say toffoli moreso myers. give myers midway through the series to even come back. shoulder injury might be trickier than other injuries.

I'd donate my shoulder to get Myers back on the ice.
Edit: Probably needs to be someone taller. I nominate the next poster below me to sacrifice their limb for the greater good.

Re: Toffoli and Myers - I believe Toffoli started skating two days ago, that was the rumor. It was also rumoured he would be available for Game 7 versus St. Louis - which would have been on Sunday. So it would follow that he would be available for Game 1, but we’ll see.
As for Myers, it was reported he had a first degree shoulder separation and the injury timeline was approximately 7-10 days after the injury. So I think it’s likely we don’t see him in the early part of this series.

So, it's set — Sabotage by the Beastie Boys is our official theme for this series. Thank you, Allan Walsh.

here here we go here we go here we here we go
also if you didn't know this is called the show
It’s just somewhat funny to me how, not even 24 hours after round 1 is completed, the Allan Walsh tweet and the Johnson/Grubauer injuries are already flipping the scripts. Can analytical models take such into account? LOL
Also read that Marchessault “their best player is their goaltender” post. Gives me a smile that we are still this underdog that some hasn’t bothered to figure out. Let’s lay low and keep the surprises coming.

this should be the theme throughout to whoever steps up in the playoffs moving foward. i still abide by the saying playoffs is where your depth players step up. game 5/6 motte beagles. 2nd round it could be a jake virtanen/adam gaudette/loui eriksson types. every night there is a different hero stepping up. LETS f***ING GO. tommorow can't be fast enough.
