Good post and perspective. 

 

We're playing a good team that we can't slip against. We have to stay mentally sharp and strong and not get defeated.

 

If I recall correctly, they went in Toronto last time with 3 Nux leading the scoring race and all media was glowing about them.   They laid an egg on the big stage.  

 

The big guns know this is a big media game.  They need to be comfortable with the pressure on them to perform.

TBH I think Hughes was pissed that (1) Bertuzzi got inside position on him and (2) lucked out not getting a goal against

I only see the garly line... where the hell is the vice versa?

Petey was 1st star of the week last week was he not. The lotto line has been great. They aren't great all the time though. That's always been the worry about overloading 1 line. But thankfully this 3rd line is able to step up when the 1st line doesn't. Which is this other fellow's point. A good team will win games off the depth scoring. Just a shame our 2nd line can't be a line that bails out the team. It's either the 1st or 3rd line that saves us.

yeah Demko looked slightly out of position on it

Demko has had three goals scored on him.

 

1)  Nylander... Demko was screened by Myers moving in front of him at the exact moment Nylander shot... puck was perfectly placed top corner... no chance to react... by the time he saw it, it was already nearly in the back of the net

 

2)  McCabe... Mathews made a perfect cross ice pass, Demko had to go post to post, he has made that miracle save many times, but not this one.  No blame.

 

3)  Nylander 2...  Nylander fired it hard, and it deflected off Canuck D-man's stick... just enough not to slow it down, but enough to change direction and fool Demko

 

None of those goals were bad ones.

I wanted him gone for ever. 
 

Why is Giraffe still on this squad?

 

Enough is enough! 

RT pumping his tires for a big trade at the deadline. Juillson plays a more consistent game

Why are people hating on Mik? He's at least not doing defensive gaffes and he's still getting points.

 

He has no goals and 3 assists in the last 12 games that’s why. Doesn’t exactly scream 2nd line 5 million dollar player does he? Can’t say the teams struggling either cause we’ve been winning and players on the 3rd/4th line have more points than him.

Let’s get the big boys going. Lotto line has yet to play one good shift. 20 min to change that

And how good has Kuz been lately? Mik also makes $4.75 million, so technically he's not a $5 million dollar player.

Mik was brought in for offense and PK.

He should have been fired on the spot after he chose to use HNIC to commit criminal slander against Burrows.  He's lucky he didn't end up in prison for that.

The Nucks have a terrific record in the 3rd.  A good chance they win this one.  GCG

Need a 2c so we have the option for the lotto line when it has the chance to dominate. Don’t over use , with a 2c we have that option. My apologies , rye and gingers kicking in
