Well there is this humongous Oiler troll who’s been saying that but gutless to honor an avatar bet for it.

Oil and Canucks will most likely be playing one of the Kings, Vegas or improved Preds in 1st round so it’s not a cake walk.

The west 1st round could be epic. No easy teams out there.

@patersonjeff

no Zadorov in warm-up for #Canucks . Looks like day off for big Russian

Oilers haven’t won a division title since 1986-87, which surprised me. They’ve only won six while in the NHL, which also surprised me.

They can thank Skalbania.

Just another day at the park

Healthy Scratch? Tochett's doghouse?

lol right.

You had your chance a month ago. You puckered.

I am not sure who I would want in the first round, PROBABLY the Preds, but playing Vegas earlier is probably better than later as the longer they are in the playoffs the more healthy the team will get. Kings I'm not worried about losing to, they are just such goons.

PO’s is 60mins hockey & puck battles. The details & structure will decide the better team.

Really like to resign him if he’s more realistic on his ask. 4.25m?

Just trying to save you a little embarrassment. Then again Goalies aren't super sharp.

You are welcome.

Joshua JT Garland could be a real good line. 👍

Hog Petey Boeser a nice mix of skills. 👍

Need to see both lines good on puck possession & puck battles. North South & not get too cute. Really need to settle into lines.

You are welcome.

I'm not self conscious enough to feel embarrassed.

Good start for the PP about time.

Boes

I'm not self conscious enough to feel embarrassed.

Be gentle on wingers they forget anyone can play there lol

lol nice. You hit up the new Priest yet?

Bloody outstanding and I actually spun the vinyl last night...sounds a bit more pure than the CD and the CD is very well done.

PP cashes in with a shot and rebound from Boeser. Who knew that rocket science strategy will put it to bed lol.

Yes. I'm surprised they didn't break any of it out for Power Trip. I've just been listening to the YouTube version. He's assembled a pretty killer band.

Kinda shocked how good it is. But a nice surprise.

PP back to being too cute & apprehensive. Slow & sloppy.

Ducks 2 high on PK & we’re not clean moving the puck. Not shooting & no net front.

Offence Hanging out in the Basement Since All-Star Break
The Canucks were once one of the highest-scoring teams in the NHL, capable of blowing away opponents with four-plus goal efforts and even a double-digit once in a while (looking at you San Jose). But that team has gone missing in recent months. Since the All-Star Break, they have scored an average of only 2.75 goals a game – good for 27th in the league. The five teams below them? All out of the playoffs and four of them (Columbus Blue Jackets, San Jose Sharks, Chicago Blackhawks, and Anaheim Ducks) will be in the Macklin Celebrini sweepstakes in June. In other words, the offence has been nowhere near playoff caliber.

JT Miller has been the only top player who has consistently brought the offence since the All-Star Break. He has an astounding 14 goals in 24 games, and five of those are game-winners. Yes, of the 12 wins, he has been responsible for almost half of them. Without Miller scoring, the Canucks would be worse off than they are right now. For the offence to get going more consistently, he can’t be the only one carrying the mail. At some point, Elias Pettersson, Brock Boeser, and Elias Lindholm have to start taking over games and being the reason for victories. Nikita Zadorov (a defenceman who isn’t known for his offence) is only one goal behind Pettersson since Feb. 1. That can’t be the stat in the playoffs.

Something has to be up Petey & I suspect most of it is between the ears. Slows down the play far too much. Playing a bottom feeder & has good wingers now. After his meh 1st period I’m looking to him & Miller to start picking it up. Both are capable to be much better today.
