Beagle and Sutter have taken a lot of abuse along with Jake and Stech. (including me)

Nice to see them all up for the biggest game in eight years

Sutter with 3 points last night.

Seeing how they handle these playoffs is a huge boost. Just thinking to whatever next year brings, how much more ready they'll be for that physically and mentally.

And, on top of that, seeing how the whole team is coming together and playing as a unit. Beags had some pretty high praise for the team mojo, so coming from a cup winner that's encouraging to hear.

100%. The whining on Beags' contract is understandable to a point...but this is what champions do. Not just on-ice contributions but that room seems to be super tight.

They don't watch canucks do they lol although they are exciting to watch.
- Bettmanhatesus



Yes they do watch. Toronto media are complaining on Twitter about the late start even though Vegas and Canucks time zones are perfect. They feel they are entitled.

Next they will ask the Japan Olympics to alter their time starts also

I'm not the biggest Green fan, but the adjustment he made reversing the flow of our breakout to counter St. Louis' overload was brilliant and Berube had no answer.

Yup.

I said it way back when we traded for him he will score the cup winning goal in 5 years. It did not go over well

That is a long shot prediction. I'll take it!

It's getting way ahead of the situation here, but anyone thinking that we could have a rematch with the Bruins if we make it to the finals?

Vegas are my Cup favorites . I don't want them to win but I thought them and Flyers had the best chance.
- VANTEL


Flyers looked terrible against the Habs. I don’t think they go any further. Tampa/Islanders Eastern final, Canucks Avs Western final!

Marky said they still have three more rounds to win . That tells me they are not just happy to be here.

Remember that time that all 30 teams gave up on Jacob Markstrom and allowed him to pass through waivers?

Nice to see that trade work out.

More picks would be great and with the cap not increasing, expecting some offseason moves to free up space.

pinch me baby! I'm still not sure how that series unfolded the way it did. Games 3 and 4 were a taste of what the Blues can do, I'm not sure if they fell apart after that or if it was the Canuck's making adjustments (wtf? we never make adjustments that work out for the whole game/series) or a bit of both?

- hillbillydeluxe

I think the canucks wore them out lol.

It's not just the media upset about the start time.

There are two games a day FFS, one in each rink if they do it right.

There are plenty of Canuck fans outside the pacific time zone and I know tons of you guys don't like the later start time even during the regular season.

I'd like to see a 6 eastern and 9 or 930 eastern start for the games moving forward. By the time the puck drops it's nearly midnight here with those late starts.

Well, he was terrible 6 years ago. There is a ton of goalies who have sucked really hard and then went on to have some good years. Bobrovsky, Bryzgalov and Dubnyk all come to mind.

Would you rather have a 12.5% chance at the Stanley Cup or a 12.5% chance at the #1 pick overall?

You will have hundreds of upset east coast Canuck fans . That is still better than thousands of Vancouver and Vegas fans trying to get home from rush hour and cooking dinner during a 6 PM start.
