I'd Rather Markstrom start against Phoenix.

Give him some confidence against a pretty weak lineup.

SJ still has a pretty potent offense.
- classic321

Lack has really struggled with his rebound control. Seems to be way to active in the net.... might be a product of the AHL defensemen in front of him or nerves. Hope he can calm down a bit.

Really interested to see if Markstrom has improved from last year, can't wait to see his first start

The negativity on this board just amazes me sometimes.. I get the fact that some people are joking or just trying to be a realist.. But would you rather win a game like that with ups and downs or lose a well played game 2-1?? Cuz I'll take the 2 points.. This team has shown more heart and fightback then I can remember.. It's not all about skill All the time and we've learner that the hard way before... We may not be as skilled as canucks teams in the past but I tell ya this team looks like they won't back down to anybody and come playoff that speaks volumes.. Being the favourite didn't work for us so maybe a team under the radar with 4 lines and some balls can make some noise

OMG, I turned it off when it was 5-2

There is no shoot out in the playoffs, giving up s three goal lead in the third is a recipe for a four game sweep

Why would you turn it off?

They did blow a 5-2 lead at home in the third against a team that played last night...

Rats... looks like I missed a good game.

I wasn't referring to just this game, and ya you're right you can't be giving up 3 goal leads all the time but they finished it off.. And who's to say they wouldn't have in overtime without shootouts.. All I'm saying is there's actually quite a few things this team finally has that it's been lacking over the years, and I personally believe it's better built for the playoffs then years past.. Never had we rolled 4 lines and what 9 defenceman like this and continued to win.. Ugly or not

Well... historically we suck the first game back after a long eastern trip.

Add the injuries....

Consider the opponent....

I think they did well.

Yes of course. I'm happy they won.
Lack is a concern, but other than that they were good.

I offered this is the Leafs room.... I think it is a very fair deal.... at least in the neighbourhood..... what do you think:

Vey, 0,735, 2 years left
Kassian, 1.75 Million, 2 years left
1st 1ound Pick,
Higgins, 2.5 Million, 3 years left
Richardson 1.5 Million, 2 Years Left

Total - about 5.5 million per

for

Kessel, 8 Million, like 28 years left
Phaneuf, 7 Milllion, like 28 years left
Kadri 2.9 Million, 2 years left
3rd Round Pick
Must take 50% of either Kessel or Phaneuf contract (Who gives 8 million dollar, 30 year contacts.... did you guys learn noting from Luongo?)

Total - About 17.9 million per - 4 million for Kessel = 13.9

Canucks then trade Burrows for picks freeing 4.5 and Miller is on LTD at 6.

Done Deal.


and no, we are not taking Olli and you might have to take Burrows at 4.5

This. It certainly didnt need to be as dramatic as it was but we won. no female doging from me.

TSN 1040 says a trade is "a-bruin" and will be announced soon.

I only even suggest it as we are in such need due to injuries. Get him, strip the C, place him on the 2nd pairing with no special teams.
