Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I won’t write off Pettersson yet. I remember people saying Yserman and Sakic would never lead their teams to cups when they were young…until they did. Something has been wrong with Petey since the all-star game. Don’t know if it was physical or mental. He did not do well in these playoffs. He starte...

Liked big Zed but it’d be a mistake to think he will consistently play like he did in the playoffs. He’s a very good third pairing asshole. But you can’t pay him the 6x6 he is asking. Dillon from the Jets on a short deal at 3.5m will bring nearly just as much. Or bring Chatfield back to Vancouver. Z...

How Mikheyev scored 21 goals in 53 games, I’ll never know.

Need a game breaker or two - not easy to find.
Team looks just like Travis Green’s fall back and defend teams.

All the faster skaters can’t control the puck and skate over it. The others aren’t a threat. Good season, but Rutherford has his work cut out for him to turn this roster into contenders.

Can’t bring myself to make a prediction.
Good luck Canucks.
Thanks for the great season!

Dallas is the better team, meaning - go Colorado go!! Dallas is through. Thought the Canucks stood a better chance against the Avs. Dallas is a very complete team. If the Canucks can get through Edmonton, it’s going to be tough beating the Stars. Their snagging of Tanev instead of the Canucks might...

Half way through this game I was sure the refs would be deciding the Canucks would lose.
Nils Aman was really impressive on the PK, very Blueger like.
If they lose Blueger to the cap crunch, they are still looking okay at centre on the fourth line with Aman.

I hate it when games are predetermined.

Yup, Cole is done.
If the Canucks lose this game he shouldn’t see the ice as a Canuck again.
Should try an Abby player in his spot - McWard.

I’m predicting a one goal game, like every other game in this series.
3-2 Nucks.

Overplay the Hughes/Hronek pairing and the Zadorov/Myers pairing until you get the lead. Then throw out Hughes with Juulsen to give Hronek a rest and Cole with Myers or Zadorov to give each of them a rest.
Never ever throw out a Juulsen/Cole pairing to face the Oiler’s speed.

6-3 Canucks!

Juulsen isn’t a viable replacement for Cole since skating is the issue. Juulsen would be a downgrade. If the Canucks lose two more, and the defence looks too slow in their defeats, they’ll only have one card to play. The one RHD that skates pretty well is McWard, but throwing him in a playoff game w...

Every other ref in the league calls boarding on Nurse’s hit on Pettersson, Kane’s slew foot on Hughes, and McDavid’s double minor on Hughes for the high stick. I also don’t think any other ref would call Suter’s interference on McDavid. Just pathetic.

We lost this game when Sutherland was named ref.
