It's no longer just rainbow colours. They redesigned the pride flag and added some to signify inclusion.

Just another Podkolzin shift where the confidence was oozing. The intelligence with his decisions and passes are decisive and clever

For the previous 2 games, the PP was decent, then last night they were o for 7, what happened last night that was different from the 2 previous nights?

I missed the game but have read that Chiasson and Podkolzin were very good.

The NHL looked at and reviewed the Kyle Burroughs hit on Ryan Merkley last night but no supplemental discipline is coming for Burroughs.

It was a clean hit, Merkley was hot dogging in awww of his drop pass and got smashed.

PP was Miller giving the puck away, a lot of double clutching by Petey. They did have 12 shots.

Miller probably missed the net at least 4 times walking off the side boards by a combined 22 feet.

Podz had a little PP time as well.

The guy needs to realize where he is on the ice. Clean hit. He's lucky it wasn't worse.

Burroughs hits hard. Not a very big guy either.

Top it off Jason Richardinson goes down scores with some sweet dangles. Almost makes his contract worth it this year just from that goal

Style wise, Burroughs reminds me a bit of younger Bieksa. Before he got complacent here.

That was a sweet move. I also liked the fake by Garland. It faked the Goalie out and forced the D closer to the middle to defend the pass. Which gave him a better shooting angle. Smart.

AHL playoffs maybe.

Canucks need a pretty good miracle for at least 2 out of LA, Vegas, Dallas, Nashville teams to completely poop the bed, like really poop the bed the rest of the season.

Why two? Pretty sure they only need to pass one of them.

So Miller was the problem? Did they change anyone out from the 2 previous games?

Passing one doesn't put them in a playoff spot.

If you are asking if Hughes went back to the first power play thinking he's the problem. OEL started the game on the first power play. Hughes wasn't the problem. The entire power play was the problem, Miller just had a pretty poor game all around.

Hughes didn't have his best game though, that's for sure and took a few good hits.

OEL moves the puck quicker on the PP, Hughes dances around with it too much, then EP starts to go the same and they end up killing the penalty themselves sometimes

PP still a bit predictable without a one time threat on both sides. Especially since Hughes can’t shoot either. Their go-to is the EP one-timer or the Bo slot shot

Just wondering, as I don't like him with that unit, for the reasons noted by Nucker above.

The PP lacks movement the most. Guys just standing in their positions and no one moving or creating anything. Hurts having Miller as a lefty on the right side. Should probably just trade him.

Yeah, I hate how stagnant the player movement is. Either King is completely fine with that or the players just don’t bother with it


Miller on his normal side definitely hurts but with movement that would be less of an issue. Stagnant only works if you have multiple one time threats like Washington

Miller could use help from the down low guy more as an option. He always shoots wide and the puck rings around too hard for Petey who needs to anticipate that much better. Hard though when you might have to set up for a one timer and then spin around to chase a puck that never got near the net

Over time, I'm sure they will get on the same page.

12th best PP this year, not too shabby though. Need much more from the 2nd unit though.

Miller hasnt looked the same since the TDL passed. Heart broken maybe...

Hughes looks like he needed one more game off to recover...

Yeah, 12th place isn't bad at all. I don't think an elite pp is needed to be a contender, just can't be bad. I think having a good PK is important though.

Special teams is the reason we’re in this position, plus 4 on the 5 on 5 last night. Wasn’t their best game but found a way, sharks looked determined to end the losing streak. Has chiasson gotten faster or are my eyes deceiving me lol

Team could use a bit more skill, another better defensemen. Some speed, a little bit of toughness, a little more heaviness.

Just a little tweak here and there.

He has put the puck in the net more often than he was before. That's probably about it

For a 12th 13th forward at 750K a year. He's been not bad. Hits, forechecks, stands in front of the net and takes punishment. Scores at a 4th liners pace. I'd take him over Highmore.

The Rangers have had Strome at a $4.5MM cap hit, but his contract is expiring and he is set to become an unrestricted free agent. Players like Strome, centers who can score at a 67-point pace, rarely hit unrestricted free agency, and when they do, they get paid. Matt Duchene, coming off of a tumultuous two-year stretch where he scored at a 68-point pace, received a seven-year, $56MM contract carrying an $8MM average annual value. Ryan Johansen and Tomas Hertl, two centers with similar scoring profiles in terms of raw production to Strome, also received deals worth around $8MM per year. Kevin Hayes, a center with a more well-regarded two-way game than Strome but without Strome’s production, got a seven-year contract worth $7.14MM per year from the Philadelphia Flyers. In a world where centers scoring at the pace Strome has scored at these past three seasons are routinely getting to the $8MM mark on long-term deals, and centers who don’t have Strome’s numbers are clearing $7MM, would it be unreasonable to believe that this would be the target for Strome’s representation as well?

Cap goes up, contracts go up. Ridiculous to think about giving 8M to a 67 point pace player.
