A couple of smaller guys like Motte and Stech are sure showing they want to be part of Canucks for a few years

I want to believe they can win Game 6 but I think Vegas will turn it up a notch next game. Still proud of these guys and looking forward to the future!

I don't know if we will win or lose game 6 but I think we have seen their top play already . I don't think they can turn it up two notches.

I appreciate their effort, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting those guys to be taller and heavier.

George Floyd died from someone kneeling on his neck. Just seems like a sightly tone deaf comment given the current state of things.

I wonder if Reaves will comment on Smith's comment?

I think now more than ever it is important that everyone make pizza for dinner tomorrow. Perhaps ASL can lead us in a pizza prayer, with some topping combo suggestions. I’ll be making four pizzas with various toppings.

.527 would get you $30m per season in MLB

I hope you’re not using the toilet, it’s broken?

No, I was just shaving

Not that I'm superstitious... But I've worn my Henrik Sedin retirement hoodie on 6 different game days throughout the playoffs and they've won every time.

Well that was a nice surprise! Demko was very calm, moreso than I actually expected. I really have enjoyed this run and really don't want it to be over yet. I am hopeful we get to game 7. I think what we have found is that they are a lot further along than we originally thought. If they can manage the off season well and fill a few spots they will be a top 5 team in the west. The one thing I have noticed is that when they play fast they are a handful, even Vegas has been hemmed in for a few shifts. I would like to see them play the next game at a full sprint and make Vegas play in a track meet. Their top players are not fast in general(Stone, Pacioretty, Smith), so making them play fast we could actually push them hard like we did St. Louis. If they tried to dictate the pace instead of match the pace Vegas sets it could be interesting. Just my .02

Do you pick your spots? I mean, you can’t use up all your luck at once...

After last year I thought Vegas would be tougher (mentally), but I feel like now if the Canucks can manage to grind out a win in game 6 they’ll implode. It’s the social media outbursts, chicken noises, flopping about that makes me think it won’t take much to unhinge them.

Agreed. Don’t think Vegas can play much better than they have already, but the Canucks sure can.

The speed game is generated with execution and playing with pace as 5 man unit in support of the puck. QH described it well after the game and Petey gave him a compliment.

That's how they can pressure the Vegas BORG and escape their assimilation of every square inch of ice.
