MeanSeanBean Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 29 minutes ago, BC_Hawk said: It will be interesting to hear what injury he actually has. It was obviously something that wasn’t gonna get worse nor prevent him from playing, but his core strength was nil. He wasn’t able to take is lethal one time slapper since all star break nor stay on his skates. Someone guessed at a sports hernia; makes 1000% sense. And Hughes got some upper body injury in that game against the preds where he got hammered a few times late and came up lame. That took a notch outta him. Then, the dirty slew foot by Kane seemed to finish him off. Forget all the BS in this series, but that play was absolutely brutal; shoulda been 5min and game plus discipline. Based strictly off what I can see, with no concrete evidence I think a hernia is a good bet. Petey lost explosiveness his stride. The amount he's hitting does counter act that though As for Hughes, at this exact moment I'd bet my bottom dollar on a cracked rib. The way he's moving right now just seems like rih injuries I've seen in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshua.Guy Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Just now, MeanSeanBean said: Disagree. 2nd round of the playoffs isn't the time to throw in a high skill winger barely familiar with north American hockey or the structure. I don't think he could've fucked it up more than he did tbh. Dying for offense and Mikheyev and Lafferty come in? That's pretty weak. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he was never the same after his fine......how many big hits did you see after that? I don't think it was the $5000.....I think it's likely what the league may have said to him.

I dunno where you got the impression I wanted Bear in that spot. You are living in some fantasyland where you can somehow trade a RHD for a better RHD. Any RHD that is better than Hronek isn't going to be available. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty weak. The entire team is based around staying in structure. That structure took us to the second round of the playoffs. Abandoning that structure to chase offense was never going to happen. Rightfully so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fen1010 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 1 minute ago, -Buzzsaw- said: Wrong... he had Lekkermaki and Karlsson. Karlsson looked on offensively in the game he played. Lek? A kid who hasn't played a single game in the NHL and probably hasn't even practiced with the big club? He has a year in Abby before he is up in NHL. Karlsson, didn't see much upside as you must have. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people were SO convinced that he was outta here...and they still try to cut him down at every opportunity to prove a point that's been long put to bed. Cudos to Allvin for picking the right guy to keep. He had to choose between Miller and Horvat. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelPiLeo Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 So many ifs, so many regrets, the outcome of this series could be very different. Thanks for a very exciting season, many joys from watching Canucks hockey the last 9 months, so proud of this amazing team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris12345 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 9 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Yep. Love Toc and what he’s done for this team but he made some bad calls this playoffs. Putting in plugs like Mik and Lafferty just to try and grind out another game was a poor move. He talked about not being afraid to swing for the fences. I’d rather have seen Raty or Bains in there. I would put in no one. Run 3 lines. I said before I would have considered 7 d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 4/5 dman who can play up the lineup as needed. That has been his career and where he is at. Still not convinced as some are that he is a legit top four. Having said that he was a solid contributor on the ice and someone the Canucks should attempt to bring back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all love reaching for every excuse in the book for the guy. 1 goal in 13 playoff games this year. Embarrassing. If this is the only version of Petey we're ever gonna get, send him out East. Get some players actually built for the playoffs. He can flop around out East. You’re certainly not very Cuddly, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MattJVD Posted May 21 Popular Post Share Posted May 21 (edited) So proud of Silovs. Losing a Vezina finalist goalie in game 1 of the playoffs is a death sentence and the rookie kept us in the fight until game 7 of round 2.

Playoffs/season on the line is not the time to give a top prospect his taste of the NHL, especially after losing BB6. Karlsson was great in camp. Him Aman and Joshua was a dominant and aggressive checking line, with both of the former carrying the latter. I’ll give you that for sure. I would have put in quite a few others over Mik. Laff should have seized his opportunity to step up. Just too vanilla. He should’ve been out there crashing and banging at very least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure anyone can blame RT after this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
