I do have 2 mystery strains in the garden, perhaps I will name one of them Bocce in your good humoured honour.

Did you see Roussel sucker punch Blais before he even had a glove off?

Fantenberg boarding Thomas, sending him into concussion protocol?

It’s gone both ways. Blues will play their game. Vancouver would be wise to try and play theirs. When I see them running around trying to run guys and markstrom chirping the official after every whistle. That’s when you know blues have their game going.

Know how you don't get sucker punched? Don't hit the guy from behind when he is involved with another scrum.

It is not rocket science

I would like to see them pound ROR every chance they get. It’s not like he is going to fight back. The guy is given way too much respect out there.

I don't need to see fancy stats , or 5v5 , ref blaming or ice conditions. When I see a few players like Brock Loui Jake a little timid to go in the corners and battle then you know it is not going to be a happy ending (yes I said it).

Many many years ago at Confederation park in Burnaby on a hot summer day like today I watched bocce for hours. It was friggin hot out but wanted to go out & relax. So these old Italianos were playing laps around the track playing & drinking the grape out of a paper bag. Each time they passed they all gave me a chug of their homemade grappa. So once they were done & left I was done too. Woke up 2hrs later on the same bench ripped & blind.

Thx for saying what I said. Not engaging & taking it to another level is a sign. Not a good one.

Not surprising they took it to the boards when they couldn't match our speed. There needs to be an adjustment to regain that speed. That one timer to Petey on the PP is the worst kept secret in hockey. Perhaps there needs to be more attack from the other side to loosen that up a little. Curious to see how Green adjusts.

Bocce and grappa would have a different meaning.

That was all said during last game and of course the Canucks didn't do it. If Green saw his formula was one shot away from a 3-0 series like the Islanders and just kept at it while the Blues made changes. By game 4 it was obviously not working. The players said as much about the PP after the game as well.

I like Brock, but 100% agree. He puts his stick in, doesn't take the body, and won't take a hit to make a play. That's not someone you want to go to battle with/for. He'll learn one day.

The PP started hot but man it is predictable.

No it hasn’t. The Blues owned the puck the last two games.
- CubanBuffet



Score wise it has been even 5v5 when talking about what led to losses the lack of PP scoring last game did. Game 3 it was a one shot game.

Canucks have not been a possession dominant team. They like to forecheck pressure and release shots or get the occasional break out after sustaining pressure in the D zone.
