Nice intensity. Fun to watch 2 teams go at each other like that. I hope the league does something to the Lightning for circumventing the cap with Kucherov. Same with the Leafs.

Anyone watching the playoffs would have to be blind not to see how far the Canucks have to go to compete at that level.

Just happy to see him out there.

I’m worried about Nucker. Too much stimulus

Me too - kinda surprised we haven't seen Lind again, I thought he played well, definitely no different than Hawryluk, Michalis, Vesey, Boyd - I seen all I need to see and hope to never see them again TBH

Ya, not sure why Vesey and Boyd are getting some love from Green, although Boyd is probably getting time because he plays centre.
I liked what Graovac provided last season in his limited time and he looks decent out there now, as does Highmore.

I like how Gadj has his head on a swivel in the defensive and moving around to block passing lanes.
Only been a period, but that stuff shouldn't go unnoticed by the coaching staff.

Giving Gadj a pass but ignoring Canucks had a stepback season when it started with goaltending struggles.

Was reported emergency injury call up ended and Canucks had to wait until tonight. That said we've seen enough of Hawryluk and not sure if protection decision can be made without seeing more of Lind.

Exactly - no one really believes Courtnall is going to step into a role like that immediately do they?
- Brooks_Light


I don't know. The only thing I saw was a reference that the canucks had reached out looking for his help/guidance...

It was just eerily reminiscent of how the whole Linden thing started.

It is a bit familiar that way. Aquaman and those 90s canucks are buddies for sure

Not saying it's a fact, or even an opinion, but...

They could be holding some guys out (like Lind) for games played reasons. There could be salary cap, or bonus issues that could hurt them next year if players reach a target.

Apparently Pettersson would have been due another few hundred k if he had played a few more games, which would have counted against next year's cap.
