 Thanks 
 

My question was … if we have clinched our division and Dallas has clinched the conference then we are guaranteed to meet the #1 WC which  is guaranteed to be Nashville. 
 

The only way this changes  is if we overcome Dallas and win both our division AND the conference . Then we would meet the 2nd WC who will be either LAK or VGK. 
 

Is this correct? Anyone?

 

Thanks. 
 

Yes

Imagine calling a 5 minute major, getting to review it thoroughly, and still making the wrong call…🤦‍♂️

 

Theres no hope for these refs. The only penalty there was 2 for embellishment and it wasn’t even close.

It was definitely a cross check, so the revised call was correct, but….definitely should have been an unsportsmanlike for the embellishment. Unfortunately that seems to be a regular occurrence now and it’s not being called, so guys are doing it more and more.

And all it took to accomplish was taking down CDC. 

Nah, we made the playoffs during the CDC era.   Taking down CDC is what will bring us a cup.

They should call those

Snap Back penalties for embellishment

We are not soccer

What a difference having another legit top pairing D makes.   Agree with James B, in that QHs saves Hroneks bacon, that said Hronek does things other defenseman in this league struggle with.    And he's not at the best version of himself yet either.   
 

Look at how well Myers has done this year under the tutelage of Tochett.   It's a team sport,  since Bieksa and Hamhuis broke up, we haven't had a legit top four.    Now we have 7 legit NHL D's, and arguably the best pairing in the league.  

Makes a huge difference when that pair can play 23 to 24min a night.  Takes minutes away from the bottom 2 pairs which in turn has them playing better.

That's an element he brings that doesn't get spoke of much either.  He hits, stands up for his teammates, and is a general pain in the ass to play against.  Anybody that thinks he's not worth $7m+ has zero clue.

The Empties still predict Hronek signs the Devon Toews contract. And he deserves it.

Play Shilovs and De Smith in net and everyone else takes the night off...do they have to field a team?

 

I haven't seen it reported, but Silovs must be back in Abby.  He was an emergency callup, and the emergency disappeared as soon as Demko was declared fit to play.

 

And as far as stacking tomorrow's line up with callups, don't forget that the baby Canucks are in a fight for playoff seeding with Friday and Saturday games against the Calgary Wranglers.  I don't see any callups happening. Maybe Aman, PDG, Friedman and Juulsen get a game to rest anyone banged up (eg, if Hronek indeed has an elbow problem, give him that extra couple of days by inserting Juulsen with Huggy.  Similarly Friedman could spell off Cole for some R & R for the latter.  Too, I'd sit Boeser and Suter, both of whom have been wrestling with recent nagging stuff, to give them a couple of free days to get over whatever ails them
