Our PK once Lindholm returned has looked really good. 

I think we're gonna catch a lot of teams off guard on special teams this playoffs. 

I anticipate a lot more Hughes seeing eye point shots and greasy goals. 

There no way we wouldn't have made adjustments. We're probably waiting to show it when we are up against a really good team and need the PP to come through.

Mcdavid could single handedly win them a round

Yip. Till McD faces the Canucks and JT. Would love to see a round of McPout vs JT. JT drove him nuts those games early on this season.

A little reminder of why we live for playoff hockey 

That was an incredible game/goal.

 

I've told the story of that day before and my "near death" race to get home to watch that game. My daughter secretly videotaped me when I did get there and I was SO emotional.

 

Dragon slay.

Our special teams don’t have it. EP-40 looks terrible. I think we lose in the first round. Nash in 6. 
 

 

We win if EP40 returns to form and bubble Demko is back. Nashville has the best winning record in the NHL since TDL.

Even 13 years later, this still gives me goosebumps, the way that series played out for Canucks fans was nothing short of incredible, and terrifying. I remember being in my living room in my lazyboy, and once I saw that mesh ripple I was running through the house like a man possessed cheering at the top of my lungs. Can’t wait for Sunday, we’ve been waiting for this for a long time, friends. This is our house

Even if the Avs knock off the Oilers?

Yeah, even if the Oilers get knocked out in the first round by the Kings, we will get Singh and Debrusk for round 2. Singh and Debrusk is one of the national broadcast play by play teams, where Shorty and Tomlinson are regional.

The only reason Shorty is calling the first round is Sportsnet doesn't have enough national broadcasting teams to cover all 4 Canadian teams in the first round.

Meh...they were .500 in April....4 wins (one went to a shootout) 4 losses.

 

And if we go a bit further back into the end of March....they'd lost 6 of their last 10.

F Nashville, their teams, their city and their fans. F Josi and the Pussycats.

That's a shame

 

Canucks have always had such a great broadcast team yet never get love nationally

I'll take the love but who the heck are these guys?

 

I'd rather have real ex NHL players be asked to make these predictions I.e. bieksa, Anson Carter, Justin Williams, Paul biz and the many many ex nhler they have on the team not some journalists

I see this a lot, Singh is the "national" guy. So what, he still sucks.

They're around sadly

Ready to pounce and prove themselves "right". Even if it's at the expense of the team. 

 

I get having different opinions but at some point do they buy in with this team? Or do they just go with the odds where one team out of 32 wins?

Don’t really get what you are inferring but I have an eclectic taste in music. My favourites in no particular order are Led Zep, Supertramp, Aerosmith (old), and Skynyrd. So take from that what you will brother. Lol.

Coldplay can do better than that. Your other choices seem solid. Can't be more eclectic than mine, when I listen to Band-Maid. It just doesn't fit for pump up music for playoffs. Just my 2 cents.

You wanna know eclectic? I listen to Bollywood, MJ, Disney, Taylor Swift, Queen, Metallica, pop, rap, David Bowie, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, etc etc.
