Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

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...

Yeah, I would put him back in the line up too. Probably Podz as well. Edit: Also, hopefully F Petey is taking all the criticism in the media and fan base as motivation. Got a feeling that the real Petey will stand up tomorrow night and will have a statement game. How about Tocchet benches Mikheyev ...

This team has me believing they can win any game. Last night, when we tied it up, I was SURE we could hang on for 1:40 to go to OT. Oh well - back to a best of 3 with home ice. We just need a few 'passengers' to step up. Of that list, I think Hronek, Blueger and Suter are making an effort, but the ...

When is Demko back? It must be soon...the kid has been a revelation but we need our starter back Why? Silovs was lights out again. That last one through a ton of traffic…..Demmer has let those in before. The difference I see with Silovs is how much he moves in net compared to Demko. He's like a you...

Well, Willander and (hopefully) D-Petey will help there soon.

Well, the league’s silent hand is felt.

Soucy doesn’t try that hit. The guy who replaces his suspended ass does try that hit.

Gotta protect your investment, indeed.

At least they’re starting to carry the play a bit. Bearing down a bit better.

Just gotta finish there.

We got time. We can get back even.

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. For Silovs, his ELC status expires at the end of this season, and while he doesn't have arbitration rights, it i...

Where ever I read something about last night's game from an edmonton perspective, it's ALLLLLLLLLLL about the "posts" :D :D :D Wonder why they’re hitting so many posts??? Couldn’t be that a 3rd-string goalie with 9 NHL games under his belt is living rent-free in the heads of the most ballyhooed off...

There may be teams that would pay a premium for Silovs. We have 2 other youngsters up and coming. If he plays a couple more games like the last one I'd say that Edmonton may be one of those teams. :lol: Blasphemy! :evil: A goalie like that could can never play for another Canadian team! :twisted: S...

Looks like Soucy will have a hearing. We'll see if it ends up with a suspension. I wager likely a fine because of the extenuating circumstances (Zadorov's push from behind, the pushing and shoving already going on, etc.) but the league has to be seen to do something in front of the media already how...

The third period was ugly but they defended the middle pretty well. Karlsson looked no better than Hoglander, but he didn’t look any worse. Wished Miller had found net. Silovs has made DeSmith replaceable already. Depending on how Demko’s health continues, a replacement option? Home ice advantage co...

Cole… again.

He can walk this summer.

Maybe didn’t want to get burned if he didn’t connect?

This is also Zadorov. He will have his brain farts and get undisciplined sometimes. It just gets magnified in the playoffs.

Silovs got got looking the wrong way.

Gotta admit. Love the guy, but he’s been caught looking the other way on shots. Maybe Clark can work on his pick-tracking.
