I think any lower seed team going into the next round is hoping for Dallas. I think we match up better against the Blues after that.

For me Dallas Av’s Blues VGK

I think the Avs offense could shred the Nucks, and like I said before, the VGK matchup is a bad one. Haven't the Canucks only beaten them once before?

Canucks have little chance imo against Colorado, St. Louis or Vegas, just not as talented, Dallas is best case scenario.

Dallas agreed. The other 3 as far as talent goes I don't quite agree. The problem i see is rolling 4 lines & the D playing smart mistake free hockey. Marky has to be stellar. Stay out the box & cash in on the PP or yes slim chances. At best i see it 2 rounds won & done.

Nothing in sports makes me happier than seeing that douchebag franchise lose, over, and over, and over again

And they're paying Babcock 6.25M a year

Never liked the guy anyways. Overrated.

Marky just joined a select club...

Only Canuck goalies with a playoff shutout are Brodeur McLean & Luongo.

Notice what all 3 of those had in common?

I thought they were playing in a thingy to get to the playoffs, so I don't believe these stats count as any sort of playoff stats.
Anyways, good on Markstrom for shutting the door in an important game.
Haven't had time to watch the game yet, but, sounds like the team is playing with a lot more physicality, which many of us were concerned about, good on them.

It’s not the PO’s but stats count as PO’s.
The NHL just likes to be the oddballs lol

They aren’t backing down if anything they are doing the bullying. They take no crap.

Agree. Best to worst match ups: Dallas, St Lou, Vegas, Colorado.

My only reason I don’t fear the Av’s is i think we can get in their face. VGK on the other hand are another matter. Against the Av’s if we can run 4 lines consistently or at least 3 we can hold our own & leave it up to special teams to decide it. No matter what we’d have to clean up the stupid penalties. They wear us down & we get more black & blue. If we can play our game well enough only against Dallas could we end it in less than 6 or 7 imo. The other 3 it’ll be a monumental task in 7.

Close only 3 Canuck goalies to play for the cup. Could it be an omen? ‘82 fairy tale lol

Ah, play for it... but still not win it.

Playing against playoff McKinnon is not something I'd look forward to.

Agreed. The guy is a beast. Not sure if he or McDavid are the best player in hockey, I give a slight nod to McKinnon.
No offense to Draisaitl, Crosby Malkin or Sutter fans.

After watching some of the Leafs highlights from that series, you guys still want Barrie?
I think I would rather have Pouliot.

Hell no to Barrie. Hopefully with signing Rathbone, that idea is gone from JB's mind.

Read something this morning that Max Domi has fallen down Montreal's line up. Wanted him when he was in Arizona, would love to have him on Bo's line.

Hockey in summer feels a little weird, but the Leafs blowing a 3-0 lead in summer feels just as good as in the spring

He doesn't want to play wing. From what I understand he's being a bit of a baby about it.
