Popular Post Coryberg Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 (edited) 2 minutes ago, MikeyD said: I wanted Lindy but I didn't want him at the cost of Kuzmenko. We paid a premium for him, but I guess we needed the cap space too. Kuzmenko wouldn't have seen the ice in these playoffs. He is an old dog who can't learn the new trick of defensive structure. Losing that 5.5 off the cap is going to be huge for us this offseason. Edited May 21 by Coryberg 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I’m surprised at just how quickly my hockey-thoughts have turned to how Rutherford and his assistant could significantly improve this team for next year. I really wish Willander was ready to go, as he would be the easy replacement for Cole and give us a much needed speed boost on D, but Young Tom needs more marinating at Boston U. One of my main take aways from this playoff was that our team needs MORE SPEED throughout the line up. Wish we had more speed in our prospect pipeline in general. Putting faith in Rutherford and company has worked so far, hope they continue to earn the fans trust. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-d Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) I am still not ready to be without Canucks hockey. The 2 missed opportunities still hurt me like hell. Why can we play like we mean it only for the last 10 minutes in crucial games, until it's too little too late? This year's postseason was wide open and probably the best chance we had. I know JR and PA will keep the team competitive, but I'm not sure if things will go right again anytime soon like they did this season.

Its the experience that led them past the Canucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This needs to be a learning lesson that your 170 pound frame isn't enough for the playoffs. You're not fast or elusive enough to make it work. You easily could be a top 5 player in this league if you hit 185-190+. Look what Lindholm was able to do. 6'1, 200 pounds. You telling me your 6'3 frame can't hit 190-195? Your dedication needs to match your skill. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm supposed to want Canada to win the cup but I just can't do it for the oilers... I think that's the consensus here. Most seem to be in the Stars' corner. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they will need to get some training and condition to get to the game speed. One extra month after recovery plus two weeks of conditioning assignment if they choose to do it so. We're looking at January return at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuz just wasn't able to score to save his spot. Kuz was able to score with Calgary, im not saying Kuz was the answer but I think Toch coached the offense out of us a little too much sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sergiomomesso Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 The two guys inserted into the lineup cost us big time tonight. Mik with the glorious chance to open the scoring. Lafferty with a chance to tie the game with a double clutch rather than shoot right away. Next shift fails to dump it deep and gets caught out too long while the oilers get the big dogs out and put it in. Lafferty then takes a penalty leading to RNH putting the nail in the coffin. 5 1 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just seemed to give in to knowing he isn’t strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conscience Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I like lindy but it was a bad trade to fit tocs ego. Messed up the chemistry for sure, you could tell petey was affected. Lindy was an upgrade at 3 center that wasn't needed as our current 3rd line was one of the best in the league. All of a sudden we have no winger depth and look at all the plugs in our line up tonight. mik, pdg missing grade A chances. Laf doing nothing useful A few depth adds like greenway etc was all that was needed, and for toc to let the guys play, fk this nonsense protecting 0-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he’ll solidify a bit more with age, but I doubt he’ll ever be as physically stout as Lindholm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Crossbar Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) We needed to get more shots on net. We weren't offensively aggressive enough. Too much passing, not enough shots. At least we came back to get it close. Edited May 21 by Dr. Crossbar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
