Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Just hoping the the coddling of EP doesn't take away the effectiveness of the Garland/Joshua duo because they have been counted on as one of the scoring lines since the beginning of these playoffs. E-LIE-US is going to have to pump some magic into the offensive voids known as E-LEE-US and Hoglander...

Is that Pod or Mikheyev that you’re referring to?

Unless we get a top 15 pick for Silovs, keep him. He is worth more than most will pay. This place is a riot.😂 Right back atcha, Blob. Yes, a top 15 is too much for Silovs, but, from what he has shown the past 12 months, he has every indications of being a top 10 goalie in the league in 3-5 years. T...

I like moving Lindholm with Petey. lets see what happens. Blueger/Garls/Joshua were money for a long time before Lindholm showed up. If they can repeat that and Lindholm has ANY success with Petey this could be big for us. Lindholm has had his best years playing with smart, perimeter, distributors....

Let's see if Tochhet changes things up tonight - should be interesting. Expect Miller to come back after his poor game (I read that he texted his coach to apologize). I agree with the UWSaint, and Petey has to have a wrist injury - so I'm not going to expect much from him. Cole's luck has to turn, ...

Safe

VaSKille ChubPoldzin is Motte the answer. Give him a musket and get him into a fight somewhere to prepare for his next season on Abbotsford’s top line.

That was well done.

https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/video/is-petterssons-play off-woes-making-canucks-regret-contract-extension/ Ouch. It's absolutely ridiculous this take that he got his money so now he doesn't care about the playoffs. Canucks drafted him because he said he wanted to win multiple cups. He was MVP in pla...

I'm looking forward to Petey's exit interview this year. I hope it sheds some light on wtf is going on. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/video/playoffs-elias-pettersson-6352971762112 This is a guy who I don't think gives a shit and is just giving the scripted answers. Clearly he's got some mental issues...

Was about to post this last night. See many of you are pretty much saying the same thing... Our blueline, d-system, and goaltending, does keep us in games until those 2 lines can break through finally and get something done. First half of this sentence is true. However, it's now a best of three and...

Ouch.

So Tocchet says there are 5-7 guys who are passengers right now and that he wonders if they realize that it's the playoffs. Pettersson Hronek Lafferty Mikheyev Aman Blueger? - Not sure on this, he's been better. Suter? - Was a warrior versus the Predators, but haven't really noticed him or heard his...

He definitely didn’t see that one all the way in. I haven't seen the replays, and ESPN doesn't show/know shit. Was that last goal deflected? No. In Miller's post game comments JT said it all: He shouldn't have let that pass get through and he should have blocked the shot, his positioning meant that...

Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 9:34 pm For shits n giggles what are realistic trade scenarios involving Pettersson? You obviously have to take a substantial contract back. What’s out there?

I wonder if Carolina would have interest still.....

Honestly I think any realistic ones are evaporating with his current play.

Kind of surprised that Blobber has joined in the fray. He's been pretty patient with EP thus far. Most of us would be happy to not be critical of his play at all. You could excuse the regular season since the ASG. You could even excuse the first few games vs the Preds, but two rounds of poor play w...

No and I saw the replay. He watched it the whole way

Cuz watched the replay through a haze of smoke.
