Those two could probably handle being third pair at this point

They are really close. I think Rafferty is better than Stecher and Briesbois had a very good year . Very consistent. The problem is 2 rookies in a bottom pair.

For sure. They do have very complimentary styles though, somewhat like Tanev and Hggy but obviously to a much lesser extent. If i had to choose, brisbois would be my callup. I just think we could be better defensively, he seems like he is pretty dam solid.

Here’s my lineup(going rosterhawk here)
Tanev hughes
Edler stecher
Brisbois myers
Benn

Fantenburg hasnt done anything, i think he’s the weakest link. I don’t love Benn, but we could likely use him in this series.

Makar and Ryan Graves were two rookies on COL's first pairing. I don't think it really matters, rookies come in and make a name for themselves all over the NHL. Id like to see Rafferty and Brisebois replace Stecher and Fatburger tbh

I disagree, it’s playoffs. What does fatty bring to the table?

I think there’s a decent chance next year. Don’t think they get paired together, but still.

They are pretty sure they can identify the truck.
The mayor said if the RCMP can't identify the truck someone on the Facebook will.
Those d!cks are going to have to sit face to face with the people they hurt so much.

The Tseshaht are taking this quite well. This type of BS has gone on in this country for far too long.
The First Nations suffer the similar treatment as what happened in Minnesota.

Playing better defense, being a faster skater, better passer, having more hits in less games played.... what does Benn bring?

Neither one were very good.
Play Brisebois, he is a smart positional player.

Looking forward for him to make the jump. Third round pick that looks like he was worth the pick .

Disappointing for OJ falling to at least 3 on the the depth chart

He seems to me to be more physical, but that’s interesting that fatty has many hits. I literally don’t think ive noticed him pn the ice other than he get scored against often

If they can score, were in trouble. I honestly think this could go 3-0 for us though, weak team offensively. Best case scenario is Marky comes back hot like he was almost all year. I don’t think experience is too much of an issue and they have some serious question marks in net, i like our chances!
- neem55

With both clubs healthy it will be interesting. If we can keep it below 40 shots per we should be very competitive...but if we keep allowing 50 shots per game under Greens 'systems' we are in big trouble lol.

Is he still hurt? I’d imagine he will be on the expanded camp roster if not. Got an outside chance of making it.

Has Minnesota ever had 50 shots in a game? That’s kinda why i like our chances, seems like an offensive dud of a team.

Really depends on which Dubynk shows up, the 2018/19 one or last years version.

Was it you that posted the Jimmy Barnes 'Hindsight' album with that Joe Bonamassa track? The whole album is quite good...

Ya in general the goalie is the question. Stalock has played well, much better than doobie

I think that same question also applies to Vancouver, and all teams.
What goalie will show up?
No games, no rhythm, no streaks.
5 game series means so little room for error.
I can see some high scoring games across the board.

I think the first rounds could be even more exciting with all teams being healthy and rested. Then again, it could be like preseason games where it looks like shinny out and the coaches playing not to lose

Not really. Markstrom has been lights out. Dubnyk has been dogpoop. Stalock who knows.
