Blues getting in the Canucks' and Markstrom's head a bit. Hopefully Green can get them to focus a bit and play their game this intermission, still very much in this game.

Not like they have a lot of choices, which NHLers do they have waiting in the wings?

Gaudette was their worst 5v5 player this year.

They have all kinds of choices.

They looked worn out last game. They dress the same lineup and have no battle against a physical team and are a step slow. That's a lot of hockey to re-start a season. Virtanen has been mostly useless, the entire D corps aside from Fatty looks tired and we have other forwards that haven't been very effective.

Seems like a damn good gig during these times. Don't want to mess it up for you so I'll take your numbers (no names) and peddle it on the Habs blog, for the Children.

this team was always going to be in tough when their PP doesn't click regardless of the opponent.

It was 90 degrees today and Canucks are in the playoffs . I'm good.

I think you’re the only one lol. It’s not fun knowing that the opponent is playing so well at 5v5. Going from being one shot away from being up 3-0 to potentially a 2-2 series is also frustrating

It’s painful watching a championship caliber team dismantling your team, I love that they’re getting a taste of this but the Canucks are not at the same level as the Blues despite a soon to be 2-2 series tie.

Canucks not converting on the PP is going to hurt them, no secondary scoring to speak of....this series is pretty much over

Bon voyage lol

Jake goes AWOL so much it’s his dressing room nickname. The boy doesn’t engage like Blais does.

Stanley Cup champs and it is 2-2 . We won a series against Minny . I guess with no expectations I am just enjoying watching.

Yeah, I guess this is just gravy but coming so close to 3-0 leaves a sour taste in my mouth. Can only imagine how the players would feel if they lose this series.

Still, with Marky in net and Hughes/EP, there’s players who can win you a game so anything can happen if the right adjustments are made.

Suggesting they mail it in or win the best of 3 if this result stands? Asking for a friend

That is a big part of why I am enjoying it . The are getting experience and finding out what they need to do to get to the next level.

Forget about a comeback - use this period to set the tone ahead of game 5. Run someone over.

Similar thoughts for me as well.

This offseason we need bigger better RHD help. Stecher is in over his head if an injury.

I don't think Green operates that way, but sign me up, let Roussel and ZacMac rack up some pims

Tell Virtanen to finish his hits if he wants to see another playoff minute during his Canuck career

Really Toffoli and Myers coming back are the only hopes.

Would be lucky if they heal in time for a game 7. But some bottom 6 energy lift from some big bodies like Baily and Graovac might help.

True...Pettersson and Hughes showing their playoff worth at very young ages, good sign

If Bo took a charging penalty right now I’d buy his jersey.

Green's PK'ers doe. He won't scratch Sutter, Beagle or Motte so that leaves LE and JV. Unless he considers LE integral to the PK.
