I'm proud of the guys. I wish they showed a bit better in the last 2 games, but just didn't have it.

Great season. I'll take it.
Was gonna say something like this myself, was just saving it for a little later. Proud of these guys.

I do wish we hadn't gone quite so 'all in' with this roster. The cupboards are far from stocked.
For sure Megs. But I honestly think this could have gone differently with Demko. Going all in, then losing your #1... no one saw that coming.

I’m proud of Miller, Boeser, Garland, Joshua, Hughes, Z, Myers, Demko, and Silovs.

The rest can go.

True enough JPP. True enough.

Anyone else heading downtown for the post game festivities? My gear has been in mothballs for years :wink:

No. Demko doesn’t get you shots on net. Silovs has been huge, and some of those don’t go in if the Canucks are actually controlling the puck.

I’m tired of this franchise putting teams out on the ice that lay massive eggs when it counts. It’s not the score. It’s the effort and afraid to lose mindset. You have to go out and take it, and this organization just doesn’t.

Mëds, with Demko in net - the guys don't have to play this defensive shell to shelter their 3rd stringer.

Silovs has not been huge. His numbers are below average.

Enough with the eulogies guys. There's a period yet to play. You don't see the smartphone crowd leaving the building early.

Tocchet says he doesn't have any speeches left but I hope he had a good one at intermission.

How Mikheyev scored 21 goals in 53 games, I’ll never know.

I can't believe the contract he signed here.

Crazy bad.

He’s been awful, I’m sure Allvin would love a do-over there

They did play that way in front of him in game 1.

Our 3rd stringer has been fine.

It’s our attack that sucks. We slow down at the blueline and play timid perimeter hockey.

Yup, wasn’t tbe year to do it. Allvin has made some decent moves but he really needs to tone down on trading draft picks cause in two seasons he’s traded a ton.

Agreed. Our 3rd stringer has been fine. Not great. Sub .900 save % doesn't win games. I'm not hanging this on him. Just saying guys likely not cheating a bit to get that next chance/touch etc. as their goalie isn't a vezina candidate.

Demko is great. Maybe a different outcome.

We won't know. But I'm still proud of this team. They did great.
