So I'm hearing the Canucks players are hurt and there might be some injury issues with one of the players? 

No, just some of the fans, apparently….

If that was the case they’d be lobbying for a longer gap when in fact they lobbied for an earlier start.

I tried having a flag on my car... drove me nuts listening to that flapping, took it off after 3 days.

If the Canucks don't win the cup, then I'd be okay with Winnipeg winning... no other Canadian team or we'd NEVER hear the end of it. or Florida ( Louongo ) or Washington, yeah yeah REALLLLLL long shot there, or even Carolina teams would be okay. None of these have won very often or only once before.

     

I'd really prefer not to see the turtle win one.  Very few players on that Panthers team who deserve any respect whatsoever.

Demko's the x factor imo, if he shows signs of rust it could really hurt the Canucks chances. 

 

If he's on they probably win, if he's still getting back into the swing of things it's anyone's guess, a seven game series can fly by. 

 

He's played two games since getting back, practicing and rehab ain't the same as playing games. 

I agree. If he’s back to Demko-ing right away it’s ours in 5. If he needs time, I still think we take it, but in 7.

Then I will pencil you in for a banana bread baking fiasco! They have often ‘lead’ to gratuitous consumption and later some ill advised ‘graphite-e’

Maybe Petey is distracted by Kate Pettersen's shapely legs?

Less than 24 hours. Chanelling all spiritual energy towards this game. Come out at 150%. Focus. Relentlessness. Bring it all. Hold nothing back.

Whatever happens happens but I’ll be cheering like a mofo

Interesting...  do they think Laffy can handle the physical play coming up for Peteys line? 

To be honest I think Lafferty plays decently physical. I think our most glaring hole in the lineup is more offensively gifted wingers. After Boeser and Hoglander we don’t really have anyone that brings the consistency in the top 6 from the wings.

I'd be content with 100%. Leafs tried to come out 150% and surrendered a goal within the first 3 minutes. 

 

Game 1 at home, it could be really easy to get overhyped and make mistakes. Canucks should win this series by playing the same disciplined game they've played all year.

 

But as a fan? I'll totally be going 150%

Meet the intensity with intensity but stick to the game plan. The things that win playoff hockey don't change much of course the intensity does... Skill of plays and shots, but overall speed into corners And getting on pucks fast in the 3 zones is the winner of hockey games. The hungrier team usually wins. These guys finally have enough puck hounds with Miller leading the way. Followed by Garland, Hoglander, Joshua. Next the likes of Blueger, Lafferty, Suter. Mostly guys brought in actually. I think this team was missing those Hansen and Burrows guys big time the last few years they could've been a lot better than they were. Bad ufa choices etc. yada yada.

Wouldn't really be too big of an upset. 

 

NSH has been one of the best teams in the NHL in 2024.

 

Canucks have 60 pts in 46 games Preds have 58 pts in 45 games since Jan 1st.

Did the math in my head, puts both teams about the same, in and about .600 winning percentage. How does this equate to an upset? Overall 10 points and a .02 winning % separates the two teams. There is no upset, there are evenly matched.

We will see what plays out.

Bring it on and pound the Preds!
