BC_Hawk Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 1 minute ago, Maniwaki Canuck said: Not "must win" but pretty close. Re-establishing our forecheck is crucial against Vegas . No offense to DeSmith but Silovs has just battled harder and that's what we need right now. And how about Juuls back in the lineup too? Ditto on both fronts. I want to think that Juulsen is dinged up and getting the time to heal before the playoffs because his play in his last few games was way better than we have seen out of Cole. I think Cole needs more rest. As mentioned previously, the only issue I see with playing Silovs a few games here is DeSmith's conifidence. Having said that, be nice to see what Silovs can do against talent before we make roster decisions in July. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that. Even on nights where they were off, they brought the work ethic and defensive game. The last month, its just been coasting..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd LOVE Petey to shine this game....a goal or two would be fantastic. Vegas should just stay in Vegas. We will be the winners on this occasion. Grab your bookie and place your bets on the Canucks !!! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaribouCanuck Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I hope Silovs gets a try since he’s earned it with his good play lately. But no matter who’s in net the team needs to improve on a lot of different things. I’ve been wrong before but I have a solid gut feeling that the team will look good tonight. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKSR Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Realistically, if the Canucks lose 1 more game and lose to the Oilers in a few days, we'll probably lose the division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a lot going on right now that is not readily apparent. Everybody is probably working as hard and as intelligently as they are able. Cheers @BC_Hawk Let's just hope it shows up on the scoreboard tonight. GO CANUCKS GO! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking back to the bubble playoffs, and it looked like the Canucks were gonna fall out of a playoff spot until the 'playoff' began with the play-in round. The Canucks looked a lot better once the playoffs started. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Canucks have really struggled to find traction against Colorado, Vegas, and LA. Psychologically, this team needs a win tonight. Above that is we need to see this team get back to a structured game again. They haven't looked good in the details and its showing. We also need everyone tugging on the same rope, lately its looked like only a few have been doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko and Lindy are recovering, I think Petey might be nursing something, we're testing out guys like Silovs and Bains. I think they guys know they earned their ticket in, and there's a lot of injury and energy management going on right now. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker67 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) Not confident at all in this game. DeSmith or Silovs? Does it matter? This team needs Demko to stand on his head to win big games. Will Petey show up? If he does, they have a chance. Guess we'll see. If Petey is injured, why isn't he resting? Well, my guess is he could still be trying to pad his regular season stats. Lay off the Call of Duty Petey, rest that wrist. Edited April 8 by Nucker67 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldFaithfulcap Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Silovs just seems to be a hot/cold guy. When he's hot he is calm and hard to beat. Casey's is fine in short bursts but he's going to give a few. I just think arturs gives us a better chance to win tonight and lots of teams have used 3 so its a good move. That being said, we need to get back to the hard forecheck and finish our chances. Time to start rising up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDangles Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Canucks really need to this win. If for no other reason than to slow the cocky Oilers fans down. I work with 2 Oilers fans and they are just the worst. Between now and the playoffs all I care about is winning the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
