tas Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 2 minutes ago, wai_lai416 said: Sure but what team in recent memory made the finals coz they spread the cap down the lineup and have a bottom 6 and bottom pairing that’s paid well above the league average? None? Maybe St. Louis? Most if not all teams that makes the final are usually top loaded in terms of cap allocation and have bottom 6 bottom pairing play above their cap hit. Not bottom players paid above the league normal performing just at their cap hit the canucks could have won the cup this year pretty easily if a couple things had gone differently. not concerned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Now that Hronek has signed I think the focus will shift to Zadorov. My guess is term over money. I think he signs for less than we expect at 4.95 mil x 8 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwarrior Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 With how quiet it was with the Hronek contract, I could totally see a Zadorov contract coming out of left field and surprising us all. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't talking miracles here, literally just one healthy body is all we really were missing. Yea, we certainly could have won the cup this year. One of the biggest and strongest bluelines in the league, easily top 5 goalie and then our ability to score 5v5 and not rely on the PP like Edmonton relies on so heavily... Yea, this definitely could have been our year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes is getting pummel to a pulp. Hronek is no where to be seen. Mikheyev and hoglander is rotating into the press box. Ep rode off into space in his ufo. Demko or not we ain’t winning the cup without every single possible things to go right for the Canucks. Silov wasn’t the reason why we lost. The way we played at times where we just turtled until the last 5-10 mins of the game is the reason why we lost. If we played Dallas the way we played Edmonton? Series over in 4. They literally only played 1 game with a complete dominant effort. The other 2 wins they were dominated and won coz of inept goaltending last 5-10 mins of the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combover Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Zad fits this system perfectly under Toc. He should be resigned next this teams spent years looking for a D man that plays this way he has size and actually uses it. I would be disappointed to see Zad leave. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the quality of shots over quantity lol the oilers at no point were dominated outside of game 5. They were neutralized offensively sure but out offence was completely non existent in the series outside of couple 10min stretches in the 3rd and game 5. Literally 2 of the wins came in the last 10mins of a game that we showed no life in offensively. If we have Demko sure maybe we win the series but playing the way we did in the 1st 2 round and let the other team come at us and only decided to show up in the last period? We still got a ways to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
