Mc1laren Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Win CGY, Lose WPG = clinch division and get ready for preds My ideal scenario. Would rather let Dallas have the conference and LA or Vegas as opposed to 2nd in conference and Nashville 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyfan-observer Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) Canucks need to bear down tonight and get a result - as you don't want to have to wait for out-of-town results on the last day to determine your standing and your playoff opponent. Given the Kings upset loss, best for RT to dress the strongest / healthiest lineup possible - and IF successful, then rest some guys on the last day. They should treat it like the Oiler game - with strong gritty fore-check, box outs and good puck management while staying out of the box. Its not about entertainment this time of year, so if they need to clog it up a bit (snooze-fest) , do it if it helps them to win. The Flames will probably be up for the challenge and would like nothing but to affect the standings so Canucks need to be ready + put it on the line with some much needed rest the reward if they are able to clinch it.

Popular Post Hogs and Podz Posted April 16 Popular Post Share Posted April 16 We play who we play in the playoffs. We can beat anyone!!! Hey, didn't we have a season prediction thread back in September? Not one of us predicted we'd be in this position. We are as good as our record indicates. 30 years ago we made a historic run to the finals as underdogs and missed by a crossbar. This time, we ain't missin'!!!! LET'S GO!!!!!! 3 1 3 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckMan Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Lindholm is going to put Kuzmenko through the boards. Also as much as I would like to win the conference I would rather not. I like our chances against the predators. Or at least we match up better against them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from the eye test alone, we don’t play well against LA for whatever reasons. Vegas has a lot of firepower and last years champs (plus the return of their injured players). Nashville simply put we’ve won 3 games against even if they were early in the year. Just goes to show we can win against them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 20 minutes ago, Bob Long said: People keep saying we match up better against Nashville, but I'm not sure why? I think it is just a matchup thing. We have struggled with the teams that play a big aggressive suppression game like LA, Winnipeg and look what Philly did to us. Teams that play a little looser like Nashville or Edmonton seem like better matchups. That being said my concern with those teams in the early rounds is they tend to draw penalties and our PK continues to be sub-par (though looks better with Lindholm). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -dlc- Posted April 16 Popular Post Share Posted April 16 We can kick Calgary and the Oilers BOTH in the groin with a win tonight. My Flames friend'll be texting me with his silly comments and it'll shut him up too. I hope Petey busts one open as it'll go a long way toward helping his confidence. I believe his mental game is his biggest hurdle right now because he's hard on himself and is likely overthinking things. His reluctance to shoot at times really hints at that to me. He's still been contributing but not the way we need him to (on the scoresheet). Clobber everyone, JT. Let's go, big game....getting playoff ready! 3 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
