Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Ok I’m no longer cheering for Boston. It makes me ill to do so.

Man all the commentators are so sad

lol. Oh yes it does

Boston got lucky and the leaves fall again

Tocchet has even gone out of his way to praise the refs and at times saying they made the right call. He has been very generous of spirit ensuring that he does not become the problem. It is refreshing.

When McJesus gets to dictate what type of skills will be in the skills competition I'd say he has some sway.

My thoughts: We are a very good defensive team. Tocchet has us believing we can not only win one goal games but low scoring one goal games. For the first 20 games or so we defended ok but scored in bunches. His systems may stifle offensive creativity but it is playoff hockey. I didn’t think Silovs w...

I don’t like our game right now. Defensively we are fine but we can’t hold them off forever and just hope one of our few shots go in.

Maybe they finally have a goalie in Woll.

it is a tough question. If you have the balls to trade him you had better hit a home run on the return. I dont advocate trading him but I would not be as upset as I would have been say last year. To me though it all boils down to the return. Otherwise you suck it up and hope this last half season an...

I sure hope so. It is scary to think he has just disappeared.

Didn't the Avs get a boatload for Duchene?

Pettersson is potentially a perennial 100+ point player. But he does not play a hard game and is moody. They have a short window to trade him before his trade protection kicks in. I doubt Allvin has the balls to trade his favourite Swede. He seems to have a longer leash for Swedes. Good or bad. Will...

Salt Lake might want a star signed for the next 8 years to draw crowds. What would they give up to have one?

Game 3 we get 2 PP goals and are perfect on the PK. Last night we couldn't muster a shot on the PP and gave up a PK goal. So ya, special teams are deciding this series.

But I do agree on Pettersson. The most disappointing player in these playoffs to me. He has got to be better.
