Y&R ......lost that TV battle many a time. Planet of the Apes was cool when I was young, so cheesy now like they all are.

The latest Planet of the Apes Trilogy was not cheesy at all. Very well done.

The Canucks absolutely dominated the faceoff circle. Vegas should be embarrassed.



This game was a lot like game 1 against the Wild, except Vegas is a way better team than Minnesota. The Canucks just need to unclench a little bit. I’m not sure they can hang with Vegas, but they’re a better team than they showed tonight.

Well now we know what we are up against. I'm sure they'll adjust a bit. Probably too much celebrating after beating STL as well.

Loved Green in the post game zoom presser, he was S A L T Y. Was it J Pat that asked about him giving everyone a pat on the back? Lol

What are conditions today? I saw the wind shifted yesterday pushing fires towards new fuel sources and away from the fire break.

I agree. Seems like they were "too tight." You saying they need to unclench is how I felt as well.

First game in a seven game series so it's all about the adjustments. The first two rounds, they showed they can adapt. Let's see if they can do it against a step up in competition.

It's still covering a large area, not too much smoke. Still lots of choppers and water bombers in the air. I can't believe tourists are still hanging around town.

I’m sure it’s exciting for them, knowing they can simply drive away if it gets worse...

Nicely done, i take my pretend hat off. It’s a top hat. Also dbot you missed this whole thing where i was saying it’s not much of a derogatory word for mellenials and the boomers on here crying. So... i promised feedback.

You really are a strange person. We have all in here seen you cry foul when someone talks about first nation . You have called people out for being a racist multiple times . You led the charge on how the name Eskimos is a slander , yet you have no problem revealing your dislike for older people.

I guess you pick and choose what is right and what isn't . Maybe one day you will wake up from your stupor realize that in a blink of an eye you will be old also . The very same person you hate today.

are you really surprised? i'm sure even if the smoke is around them, they won't leave... or wear masks because it's their dog given right to breathe free!

Not to paint all tourists with the same brush, but lots of them are very rude and demanding, with a sense of entitlement.

They don't GAF about the pandemic or emergency conditions during the fire.

It's mind boggling.

I’m coming out in October, I’ll be sure to tell a local to FO while not wearing a mask and ignoring physical distancing. Winky face.

Last night was an ass kicking much like game 1 in Minny.

Lets see what the boys do next game. We all know we are in tough in this series and not one person even us fan boys said we think we will dominate.

I am enjoying the hockey win or lose but as I said a few times now I hope they are using this as an audition to see what they need to do next.

TT & Myers would help. Markstrom has to dominate for this team to succeed. It's a tall order.

I’m really hoping TT comes back soon to give them better depth — Vegas is strong on all their lines. They’ll settle in a bit and make adjustments. I expect a much better game tomorrow.

With their speed and size, I agree that putting in Bailey or Zack would be a good choice to help counteract that. Fresh legs against a rested team. Going to have to get our forecheck working to cause some problems.

I just want to let game one slide. There was moments last night Canucks played well. If they come out game 2 and 3 and same results then lots of work still needs to be done.

Eriksson is really showing his age . He is not doing a lot and maybe a bigger body may be harder for Vegas to defend. I am not talking toughness because we are not in the same league as them.

That's the beauty of having no expectations in the playoff's. Every win is a bonus, if they can somehow come out of this series it would be amazing. If they don't, it's been a successful season. Fix a few things and try again.

I still think the cup winner comes from this series. Vegas look like animals

I'm not going there. Is DeBoer going to give TG some schooling? It will be tough to come back down 2-0 against this team.

Proud of this team no matter what. They will make adjustments to keep the games tighter but man Vegas is a different beast than STL. Relentless.

At this point they’re going to have to outwork Vegas. Be harder on pucks, stronger sticks, and win board battles.
