I don't think it is panicking. I know some are angry.

Honestly, I think next year go with the Lotto line as the top line, the Lindholm Garland Joshua as the second line, third line Hog Suter Likker, and then a shut down line Pod Blueger and ???.

Trade Hronek.

I’m wanting Sasson coming to camp pushing for a spot then down to Abby & maybe be a recall. Raty is a wildcard imo & has shown good progress. D Petey idk if quite ready but if ELC’s are needed then maybe gets a cup a tea or more if can have a fantastic camp. Leki same thing. Willander highly likely to season one more year in the NCAA. No rush & never a bad idea. Can always be a PO call up.

Next year D should be Hughes Z Soucy & Myers. Size & snarl has to to happen again. Hronek is a priority in one form or another. Resigns for value not a penny more or if ask is unreasonable then traded. Cole only if on a min contract but easily replaceable. He’s a 7D imo.

How many times can you guys be down going into the 3rd and expect to win? You've used up all your playoff luck early and let's face it, Oil have controlled 75% of this series.

Your goalie has been standing on his head while ours has been subpar is the only reason this is tied.

Oil are a favorite for a reason, they are the better team.

0 depth, not a realistic cup contender.

Conspiracy. Pretty sure his drop off started after the all star game and before he signed his contract.
- NewYorkNuck

It started when he was asked to carry a line by himself with plugs. He turned Hogs into a 20 goal scorer.

I know whatever happens, I have no control over it, so I’ll just go with the flow.

It's been a great year and we are in round two. Next year keep going forward.

Yes. Nobody can put a finger on the why but we should hear more in the post season on some level.

Still time for it to all go away.

Go Canucks Go

With Juulsen also. A name to keep an eye on for the number 7 or 8 spot is Woo. He was Abbys best or near best Dman.

Dallas is a beast. Wouldn’t put a nickel on their opponent.

LAK were far too passive. Now the Canucks exposed their warts. Dallas & Florida/Rangers my finals pick.

Yes depth D can never have enough. We still need better break outs. Not liking how the Oil make us look &/or panic. All in good time & has been a fun season no matter what.

Yes, it has been a great year, I want them to win so badly, but this is a bonus. They need to keep building on what they’ve done.

Giving him a pass on the PP?
10.5m & just like Marner got roasted for being ineffective so why the special treatment?

Neither one of these teams is getting by Dallas.

If PA had swung the Guentzel trade I would have thought we are cup favorites. I still think we have a good shot if we get things going.

Asked about the possibility of playing someone like Lekkerimäki who has never played an NHL game, Tocchet says “I’m swinging the bat. I’m not scared”. Didnt commit to playing him, but sounds like a real consideration. Says he wants to “get all the intel” first. #Canucks 

Keep whining boys, I'm sitting in the backyard with the smell of freshly cut grass with my Utillian in my hand, oh yeah and there's Skynyrd playing.

Evan Bouchard has 4 goals and 15 points, Hughes has 0 goals and 9 points. Found that interesting. Huggy needs to get a goal on the board.

Thank you.

Yes….100% accurate.

Correct, but Vancouver would at least make a series of it.

PPG Oilers 5 to 3

Seems larger but they’ve been more dynamic & us pretty bad.
If we at least were not struggling so mightily on entry or zone control the impact would be great. It’s almost deflating not making them pay. Nowhere but up but cannot give them any more bad penalties.
Make it decided on 5v5 & we have a slight edge even though we get outshot badly. We’re more opportunistic & they have not shown in goal they are the faves.

Oilers are in cup or bust, we are there for the experience you have to lose before you win, this isn’t over yet let’s see what we got. This team doesn’t quit.

👍 would be another wrinkle to their offense if he gets added in. He’s played against men. Getting more (and more dangerous) shots against Pickard is needed. Hell maybe some of his Swedish mojo will rub back off on Petey

1-1-1 Canucks vs Dallas this year
1-2 Oil vs Dallas

Slightly in our favour. Better match up depth wise imo cuz Stars could shutdown McD & Draisaitl better imo.
