Shinkaruk with a great game in double OT, Sanguinetti GWG assists from Grenier and Shinkaruk.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Green doesn’t rule out possibility McCann/Virtanen get into lineup, but doesn’t sound like it will be this week. Needs to see more of them.

Green on Virtanen: "Big, powerful kid. Great release and a strong skater. Looks like your prototypical power forward."

Green says "there is a lot to be excited about" with both Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann. Wants to get a better look at both.

Just spoke with Travis Green, who says Jake Virtanen's first shot in practice today went through the net.

Virtanen played in Game 6 with Shinkaruk and Zelewski. I've read that Green liked what he saw and that he'll play in Game 7.

Because it has worked so well for the Sabres.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

They tanked and got exactly what they wanted!!

The best second best prospect in years and the best second best coach in the NHL AHL. Maybe?

1-buzz victory, doesn't get much more clutch than a 35 save shutout for Markstrom in game 7 following a loss!
Jacob is now 5-0 in the playoffs following a loss. Grenier continues his hot streak, scoring the game winner in the 3rd. Good experience having Virtanen and McCann involved. Onward.

First 1-0 shutout in a game 7 since Johnny Bower did it during the finals to win the Calder Cup for Cleveland in 1953!

McCann was a spectator.
Shinkaruk, Gaunce, Virtanen, & Baertschi played in the game.
Less Canucks embarrassment please.
