Bretzky

A forgettable performance by him, not my fave defenceman by far.

Gotta say Cole hasn’t been my favourite defenceman and he seemed to be really dumb at the beginning of the game. First causing a too many men penalty in the first minute, then his terrible coverage on the first goal and a dumb giveaway backboards on the second Coilers goal. Hope he can clean up his act this series! Otherwise the Big Z is out scoring Petey playing defence and hasn’t been a liability, he’s played well and used his size…he’s a threat! I’m liking this Nuck resilience, what a comeback! And Miller is a stud!

I hope Mikheyev is well healed and up to speed to counter McD etal, that’s a need, but Jeez it be nice to see him finally getting on the scoreboard! Hopefully Petey helps both his line mates more this series with goals and assists. And Dakota Joshua making a good mark physically and on the scoreboard would be great, we’ll see…fingers crossed.

Can’t say I was overly excited by how the Nucks played in this series but they were strong and found a way to win it, and not blow it! Proud they made the second round, and now at least make it a good season. Games 3 and 4 were big road wins and then they iced the cake with a shut out win in game 6 to take the series. Hopefully this first round series was a good lesson in keeping composer, killing that 4min penalty should help….But the power play has to be better! Zadorov has been fantastic, both defensively and offensively….great addition!

Was proud how they won the first game in Nashville and then hadn’t cheered and yelled that loud at home for a goal for quite sometime till Boeser’s game tying hat trick goal in game 4 with less than 10seconds left to play!…another loud one when Lindholm scored the game winner in overtime! And all our top players haven’t really showed up yet, but good stuff we still have a 3-1 series lead now. Stole 2 on the road! Boeser’s got some flow goin’ again!

Yes!

I’m still hoping and rooting for a Nucks vs Jets Western Conference final but hope Demko proves again why he should win the Vezna this next final game vs Hellebuyck possibly.

Awesome! I grew up in Vancouver and didn’t become a Nucks fan really until they drafted Linden. But growing up my dad took me to games at the Pacific Colliseum to see some great NHL teams. Saw Bobby Orr and Ken Dryden etal. I guess that’s also why I like the skate jersey best.

Yeah, I spoke too soon….Not good at all vs the Bruins last night! Yikes.

I hear ya. But I like our present line up, from the goaltending out. We have a pretty nice core!….and Hughes continues to be elite. My money is on the Nucks head to head in a playoff series vs them, bring it on! That be a cup final series….it’s in my dreams. Think of the Penguins core with Marc Andre Fleury in net , Letang, Malkin and Crosby when winning cups is what comes to my mind…can’t compare any one to Crosby

When watching the game tonight vs a really good eastern conference team, the Canes, I kinda thought how the way we are built is what would have Leaf fans creaming their jeans. And we’re kinda built in a eastern conference way now with Rutherford etal.

I just wanna say I’ve always liked the addition of Zadorov to our defence. Not a bad record with him in the lineup since too eh! Here’s the thing though, he’s kinda filled the Tryamkin role too eh!

Not upset at all with what we gave up in the trade as per Kuz not fitting the bill this year, and giving up a very late 1st round pick plus a couple very distant prospects…We kept our blue chip prospects! And that’s what it takes to land a player of Lindholm’s quality with the reality of other teams offers. I was thinking how our 4 lines might now look and the above idea has potential. The Nucks can still ice the lotto line when needed too. I like that the 3rd line still can stay as is, and Mikheyev may be more suited for the 4th line using some speed with Lafferty. This management team isn’t giving away the farm to really contend in the playoffs for the cup this year but did lose a few prospects…that’s the market. I believe Rutherford and Allvin know what they are doing, with the short and long term future of the team in mind!

Be great if the Nucks get another 2 points tonight, as they should against the Blues. Same with the Jets beating the Leafs!…And keep both team’s atop the standings in the Western Conference.

Not a fan of overtime shoot outs anymore, just puts pressure on the goaltenders! And I dunno, 4 on 4 seemed fine till someone scored. And not a fan of the Canuck pp drop pass in the neutral zone before entering the offensive zone…Tocc has said he doesn’t want players skating backwards to defend in the neutral zone, this pp drop pass play is working backwards!
