Thanks. Douche factor or not the Bruins play hard hockey throughout their line up. I'm envious of them and it demonstrates how dreadful the Canucks bottom 6.

Yeah, you have to respect they way they have adapted over the past decade.

Carolina and Montreal could end up surviving today if this game goes enough OT’s...

Anyone who doesn't think the Blues are dominating 5v5 is delusional, don't even need to see the stats, eye test is good enough.


ROR's line is just dominating every Canuck line, he's been the most dominant player in this series, the Canucks have no answer for him.

Canucks only chance is Marky playing amazing(or Allen sh!tting the bed) and PP lighting it up.

I disagree. The Canucks have dominated play (eye test) and if wasn’t for the refs it would have been a sweep

Canucks made a good step this year but they are toast. They need to replace at minimum 4 players: stecher, virtanen, beagle and loui.

Loui and beagle because of their horrific contracts and replacement level results. Virtanen because he has run out of chances and is the biggest douche/ slacker on the team. Stecher needs to go because he gets destroyed down low. It’s embarrassing. Our D needs to get bigger and nastier if we hope to advance in the playoffs next year

Personally I think that in the last 2 losses the forwards are more to blame than the D. You're not wrong that it would help to impose on their forwards a bit more though.

I endorse this message.

Though I think Sutter will be gone over Beagle. Need an upgrade over Benn/Fatty too especially if OJ or Rathbone are going to play the left side.

Honestly, I agree with your choices. I do still have hope Horvat + JTM + EP + QH might have enough to push back. They need PP goals. Only chance they have.

That said, great year regardless...

Next Year:

BB - JTM - EP
Toffoli - BO - Pearson (he's been good and decent $)
Rousell - Gaudette - ?
Zac Mac - ? - motte

Tanev - QH
Edler - Myers
OJ / Benn / Fatburger or other?

Lots of work to do but the core is exciting. I'd add moving on from Sutter if we can as well.

Well poop

Toffoli (lower body) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's Game 5 against St. Louis, Matthew Sekers of TSN 1040 AM reports.

Toffoli is reportedly getting closer to a return, but he'll almost certainly have to wait for Friday's Game 6 for his next opportunity to do so.

Interesting, 2 losses in a 2-2 series and its there is no hope and what next season's changes will bring. Yet if the Canucks scored on a couple of their PPs last game it would be a different tune. Hope the Canucks are reading their posted obituaries and come out to prove the epitaph banter wrong.

Carol Schram: Even Steven: Canucks suffer back-to-back losses against the St. Louis Blues
The Vancouver Canucks' five-game playoff winning streak is now a distant memory after the St. Louis Blues have climbed back into the series with a 3-2 overtime win on Sunday and a 3-1 victory on Monday.

- Carol Schram

Canucks and Blues have won both away games, so Canucks win tonight and then game 7.

How's that for stupid ass logic, think it really fits here with this group..

We need to win two out of 3, but it seems that most are showing their bellies and giving up.


Whats up wit that?

Listen up, if you have to hang your hat on winning through the PP you're (frank)ed, accept the loss on team play not the PP

Would we trade JV + for Barbeshev + Bortuzzo + a 3rd?

I guess the Blues are f'd now since its the PP that brought them the win.

I would counter with why would you want to bring back the current roster?

If you sign Markstrom for 5-6 million then who do you absolutely need to bring back?

I heard people mention on here a few months ago say Jake is getting 3 mil and Gaudette getting 2.5 . Really?

I imagine Tanev will be brought back at a reasonable price. I am not sure if Benn is winning that 3 RHD spot or not but he is already on contract and OJ will more than likely be sharing duties with Fantenberg. If Benn is not there then you can find a low cost RHD like Schenn.


I like Mottes drive and hustle but cmon he is not a high end fourth liner.

- VANTEL


No doubt there will be changes next season for the roster. From the start, Rathbone, OJ, Hogs, to the middle of the season the Russians Tree and Podz all will be pushing for spots that upgrades but lowers cap hit.

This season's playoff battle still has some auditions left in it to see who else gets signed and at what cost.
