Canucks win this game if they get a power play goal, a greasy crash the net goal, and one of 40 or 43 pots one. Come on now…LFG!

Any chance this team won’t continue to beat itself in the next 2 periods?

Blueger in the slot…Brock might have buried that.

Anyway, we probably lost this game from the get-go with Soucey out.

Does Juulsen have brain damage or something. Didn’t he do this exact same play with the same result not too long ago?

He got pushed off the puck like he was feather. Other players were bad on the pp too, but he’s downright useless…sry

OMG, that power play was so painful to watch. The entries, Jesus. And my god, Pettersson is so flaccid. Just such an embarrassment for a star player.

My god, this must be like Cole’s worst game ever in his career. Boeser’s stick looks like it’s made of rubber. Even Garland is off tonight. And Pettersson is doing his usual no-show thing. Not good vibes…

Finally, all the garbage teams eliminated from the playoffs. I was so sick of this. okay, EP40 time to redeem yourself…

Elias Pettersson is perhaps the most embarrassing “superstar” to ever suit up for this team. I’m beseeching management to please move away from him while you can. Those of us who have been diehard fans for decades do not want to see another 10 years of playoff mediocrity. Unfortunately, to also ensure that doesn’t happen we need a number 1 goalie that isn’t chronically injured at key moments. To that end here are two trades I’d pursue this off-season. Trade #1: Pettersson to Boston for Swayman, Lysell and a 2nd. Trade #2: Demko and Boston’s 2nd to New Jersey for Simon Nemec. Then I’d pursue resigning Lindholm (who has the looks of being a decent playoff performer), as well as a big name free agent winger, like Guentzel or Debrusk. I wonder if we went with a higher AAV, would Lindholm go for a lower term, so that we only had that contract for 5 or 6 years. This then would be the line-up, which I’d be super comfortable with for the next number of playoff years…It’s well-balanced, rugged, and gives us some cap flexibility to add at next year’s deadline, or swap out big Z for Cole, etc etc. Mikheyev-Miller-Boeser = 4.75 + 8 + 6.7 = 19.45 Hoglander-Lindholm-Guentzel= 1.2 + 8 + 8 = 17.2 Joshua-Blueger-Garland = 3.5 + 2.5 + 5 = 11 PDG-Suter-Podkolzin = .775 + 1.6 + 1 = 3.375 Aman = .825 Hughes-Nemec = 7 + 1 = 8 Soucey-Hronek = 3.25 + 7 = 10.25 Cole-Myers = 3 + 4 = 7 Juulsen = .775 Swayman = 5 Shilovs = 1 OEL buyout = 2.4 Total = 85.5

Things I learned in the last two hours: You can’t win in the playoffs with Petey. Sorry, I’d rather not see another decade of almosts and mediocrity. I’m beseeching management: go with Lindholm and get a bunch of assets for EP40 while you can. We have a goalie problem. Demko is going to be injured all the time now, and is unreliable when it counts.

I’m out. I hope they get blown out…get it out of the system. Sucks for paying fans. This team needs a long look in the mirror…

OMG, Petey better get his head out of his a$$. He was responsible for the first goal, and then a wide open cage…? I’m definitely liking Lindholm’s game way better here in the playoffs. Just sayin…

Been waiting a loooong time for this!

Hronek has to be signed. RHD don’t grow on trees. Hopefully he’ll sign for around 7 mill per. Joshua is a must. 3 by 3… Zadorov walks. He’s not going to play above Hughes or Soucy. What he wants is too much for a third pairing D. I’d bring Cole back for the same deal as this year. Can play on the right side if need be… Myers will get 4 mill somewhere, so he walks too… It would be nice to have Blueger back, at the same deal as this year… Hard to imagine the D core doesn’t take a step backward until Willander is ready.
