Guess Green didn't get in front of a camera so for those that are interested;

"Whenever you have a goalie you believe in, it adds a level of confidence to the group. Do the players actually play better? I think mentally they feel stronger, but you hope your players play their best regardless. Marky has brought a sense of confidence to the group. I think Brock has taken steps this season. It's noticeable, I'm not going to say it's every game, but there are times when you see him do things that he hasn't done and I'm not talking about with the puck. Getting the puck, tracking it, backchecking, forechecking. There's so many details that go into winning other than just getting the puck and shooting it. He's taken steps in a lot of areas away from the puck and I have a lot of faith he's going to get better as we move on like a lot of players." - Green


"I keep getting asked about this..... I don't mind talking about it but we only had 1 PP in Game 1. 1st PP in Game 2 was a half PP, 2nd and 3rd PP's we spent the whole 2 mins in the zone. He got out on the 4th one. Our PP has taken a lot of heat this year. It's been a lot better as of late. Edler has been a big part of our PP. I think we're doing great by Quinn. I'm excited about Quinn and he's playing the PP, which usually is a 60-40 split. If you were to go to Quinn, hey we're going to put you in Edler's spot - he'd feel uncomfortable with that as well. There's going to come a day when I hope he runs the PP, I'm as excited as a lot of our fans. It's my job to watch how expectations are for Quinn. I'm not going to sit here and say he's never going to be on 1st PP but I'm not going to say 'Quinn Hughes is here, Alex you're off the top PP unit. Here you go Quinn' cause he would be uncomfortable with that. There's those dynamics that happen." - Green on putting Hughes on PP1

Ok so far...

[Carl Yagro]

Yoohoo, anyone home?

Canucks jump out to an early lead. Bo Knows to Pearson!

The Sharks immediately cranks up their playoff-ready, heavy, cycle game and ties it back up. Their forecheck giving the kids fits. Petey and Hughes got crushed on that shift.

[DonCherry4PM]

Lol Loui.

What a waste of 1/3 of a top 6 line.

[Cornuck]

Wow quiet GDT. Nobody's watching the future?

[Strangelove]

Wow quiet GDT. Nobody's watching the future?

I'm watching so intensely I don't want to stop to type...

[DonCherry4PM]

Pearson and Bo really seem to have some chemistry.

Demko making some good saves.

[Strangelove]

Yeah gotta like Pearson, he's even growing on Blob...

[Strangelove]

Boeser elbowed, I hate the dirty fucking Sharks,...

[rats19]

Boeser elbowed, I hate the dirty fucking Sharks,...

Ref was 8 feet away...

[DonCherry4PM]

Yeah that Pearson trade was larceny especially considering Schenn’s play has more than eclipsed what Guds brought when he was here.

Good on Jim.

[Chef Boi RD]

I’m not really sure what Beagle does

[The Brown Wizard]

Somebody do something...FUCK!
