These 2 better get used to it, these are the playoffs, everyone needs to be able to handle the rough going.

Yup. I deleted the post, as someone would probably get offended by that comment.

Meh, there's a difference between being targeted and someone taking a run at your head with an elbow. Can see the Blues start to push towards the latter.

lol we can hope. I just remember all my Habs fan buddies warning me about Benn when we acquired him. From a regular season perspective they were bang-on but maybe the PO's will spark him who knows.

Yeah, I’m not confident he’s going to be able to compensate for the loss of Myers. He’s not that physical but is a good penalty killer and a responsible defensive d-man. But with all that time off, how rusty will he be?

Will probably need it the most tonight, they'll be coming out hard.

Trotz knows how to beat the caps

Isles are a fun team

It will be a hard game without Myers, the guy is a good playoff defender.

It was a cheap hit and should have been a penalty.

Tanev and Edler will have to play over 25 minutes each. Still the Canucks 2 best defenders.

Almost forgot,
Thanks Carol!

Smooth lol

I wonder how many get that gif 😂

I’m not a Myers fan but that kinda sucks. Those 19 minutes a game are hard to replace.

Why not?

I'd dress Benn and Rafferty. Dress 11 forwards. Youve got last change and will get better matchups up front, so you can get away with 11 forwards.

Benn hasnt played in almost 6 months.....if he struggles, you can spot Rafferty in.....

Works for me. JV probably sits.

Same thing BOS said about Loui Eriksson

This goaltender interference rule is crap. There is clearly interference, but no way Talbot could have made that save anyway.

No goal but probably scores anyways if Perry wasn’t stupid.

How would you change it? Can call a rule crap if you’ve a better solution. Woulda coulda shoulda doesn’t cut it.

NO WAY he had a 100% chance to try.

If the old dumbass doesn’t go into the crease we will never know.

Benn is not a good puck mover but can rough it up. The suggestion of dressing Rafferty with him might make sense. The 2 of them together add elements of replacing Myers. Plus can divide their minutes so they can handle replacing Myers 20 a night that includes special teams.
