DownUndaCanuck Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 8 minutes ago, JeremyCuddles said: Edmonton has 5 games. But they also have 2 back to backs. We are the 2nd game of their 1st back to back. Even if they win out for the division. They're likely gonna be spent playing so much hockey in a condensed period of time. 5 games in 7 nights, and only 1 day off before the playoffs start. That team is gonna be gassed going into the playoffs. Winning the division might not help them. Besides, McDavid is already hurt. So they may just sideline him til the playoffs. If they're smart. I honestly think our spot is safe. Even if it isn't. We're rested. We just lost to the Coyotes of all teams, at home, at the end of a b2b. I think they'll have enough drive and juice to destroy us, they just bombed Vegas without McDavid. That being said their last games will be tough for sure, we probably just need to win 2 of 3 to get the division which should be very do-able but without Demko any game is loseable.

Yeah not having our starter has made things tough that’s for sure. Looked like Vegas needed some goaltending tonight too.

AnotherCanucksFan Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) Anyone know why Canucks are playing Silovs over DeSmith? Anyone know why Demko isn't playing in a game yet? How many games has he missed at this point? Anyone concerned that it will be very hard for him to jump into a playoff game without playing for a month? The Canucks need to look themselves the mirror and look at the cold hard reality of their pre and post All Star game stats. When the All Star break happened, fans and critics were saying that it was time to consider the Canucks a legitimate playoff contender team. Over the first 49 games Canucks were a .673 team, but over the last 30 games Canucks have been a .500 team. How did we drop by almost 18%? What happened between pre and post All Star game to turn us from a playoff contender to an average team. Had we played the way we've played over a full season, we'd not be in the playoffs, so can we find our Pre All Star swagger or have we just settled to our true level now? https://www.omnicalculator.com/sports/winning-percentage Can we change our trajectory or will Oilers just keeping moving up while we keep moving down as the trajectories have been since the All Star break? I'd imagine the Canucks will be tight and the Oilers will be lose, because both teams had very different post All Star game trajectories. We've been around a .500 hockey team for about 30 games and Edmonton has been a .600 team since the All Star break. Edmonton Oilers 18-15-1 record between October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024 29-15-1 between October 1, 2023 and February 4, 2024 30-9-4 since January 1, 2024 19-9-4 since February 4, 2024 Canucks 23-10-3 record between October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024 33-11-5 between October 1, 2023 and February 4, 2024 25-12-6 record since January 1, 2024 15-11-4 record since February 4, 2024 https://www.statmuse.com/nhl Edited April 11 by AnotherCanucksFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 1 minute ago, stawns said: Why pretend they haven't been phenomenal after such a poor start? What's the point of pretending? Why do you think they had such a poor start. Hot shot team from last year, same coach that got fired, walk into game 1 vs the Canucks and got destroyed. Then they got pummeled in short order two games in the row by the Canucks. I suspect their issue was a mental issue - i mean its basically the same roster unless you think Perry has made the huge difference. Id say its not far fetched the Canucks had a large hand that sent them into that tail spin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's talking about the Canuck's play like they're still playing like Pre All star game, when it doesn't match how they actually are playing. I'd like him to be more realistic and show some frustration at losing to bottom feeder team. At least Miller is more honest about their crappy games.

Rick_theRyper Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Can we stop pretending the Canucks haven't had an amazing season and just Hey we're going to the playoffs baby, I'm freaking stoked! We won some we shouldn't have early in the season because of Demko and surprisingly we've lost some we should have won without him lately. I think this team and beat a team like that LA team, they can beat the oilers Again! So let's fucking go baby! On to the next one! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their focus is Saturday. And they’ve been playing well. The Canucks? Not as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
