Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I went to Hulu Live for the playoffs and its also far better. Which is crazy since I am also getting ESPN+ through hulu (or at least that's how I watch it). I didn't think of Hulu live - I've got the Disney/ESPN/Hulu package - but when the first playoff game up, I "assumed" that ESPN+ would have "E...

I get games through ESPN+, which carries all out of market, non nationally televised games. The ESPN+ Ads are horrible - and repeated non-stop. Still a good deal - but - I find their streaming to be much worse than any other service. I get a ton of buffering and low-res with them - vs none with Sli...

I think it’s paramount Alvin cuts his losses on the Mikheyev experiment, trade him some how to free up the cap space to go towards retaining some of Lindholm, Zadorov and Joshua. Not sure its of "paramount" importance, but it might be the best step forward. I doubt there's a market for him at that ...

So I was an hour behind when I started watching the game. All good, didn't know the score and neither did the kids. Beginning of the 2nd, Sportsnet puts a helpful alert on the top-right of the screen telling me that the Canucks Oilers game is 2-2 late in the 3rd. Do I want to switch to that channel...

* Canucks forecheck looked a lot better. Watching them pressure more served as a reminder that the Oilers blue line is not very confident or quick. They burped up lots of pucks. * The PK was noticeably better, better gap control, more aggressive. More aggressive doesn't mean better, but against the ...

Interesting take on Pettersson, UDub. I haven’t seen any obvious ailments when watching him behind the play, but he’s always had ridiculous hand/eye with an innate ability to knock down passes, anticipate plays and interrupt the play. He hasn’t been poor defensively, but he has not created turnover...

“Quads” is on with Edmonton media. He’s gotta be 16 by now. Fuck I made a mistake of watching the Donnie and Dhali podcast. I have no time for Don Taylor’s but Dhaliwal has the jumped the shark. He does all this chanting and screaming. Is he the Brown Don Cherry now with zero experience in the game...

To now be critical of Tocchet when he has the team playing a radically different style of play since his all star goalie went down and his #1 center started slumping — and still be playing relevant hockey in the middle of the second round of playoffs — is slurping from the media straw. Agree. Tocke...

Now, I'm not a legal scholar Correct. but from what I understand it seems to be the 14th amendment: Natural-born U.S. citizens maintain citizenship through the 14th Amendment, so they cannot be denaturalized or deported https://www.lawfirm1.com/removal-proceedings/denaturalization/#:~:text=Natural%...

You can never count out the old man Rutherford when it comes to outside the box trades, I’m sure this one has already crossed his desk. There are some desperate teams in need of tenders. A healthy Demko is one of the few top tier goalies in this league these days who from a performance perspective ...

Two more general comments about this series. 1) McDavid and Draisaitl are very very good. But I think its a mistake to play them this much. Yeah, the rest of the team is underperforming, but you need a little ice to perform, no? And I think 20 minutes for a forward of all zones all out and intention...

Cross check a dude in the face after the final whistle (outside the context of the game) is a suspension-worthy offense, even in the playoffs. So there has to be reasons to mitigate. Soucy's been suspended once (for a high hit on Garland, LOL) and fined another time (roughing up PLD). So he's neithe...

When will we hear they have no answer for Boeser?

Matt Murray? Where are you?

I don't disagree.

But I do think its interesting how differently Boston and Vancouver took to being three goals down. Boston amped up the side game; Vancouver stayed disciplined.
