[PG Canuck]

Skinner looking good

Not sure if it’s me viewing Hughes under a microscope, but feel Heiskanen has been more impactful against the Oilers than he was

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Nurse assisting on just what the doctor ordered.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

A reminder that Nurse makes more than Hughes, Makar and Heiskanen and is signed until 2030.

Heehee.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Thanks Stars eases the pain a bit every day keep it up!

 

[TruGr1t]

I am probably on the low end of Canucks-related Oilers hatred, but I do want them to get eliminated to shut-up that wanker Seravalli.

 

[canucksfan]

Stars are a well balanced team. Easy to cheer for them too.

Heiskanen has been a monster and unquestionably better in this playoffs but I still want to give Hughes grace considering the anemic 5 on 5 team in front of him. Dallas is far more insulated

Heiskanen is legit. He’s the type of #1 you win in the playoffs with. I love Hughes but the two way play and full package of Heiskanen is undeniable

Heehee.

Nurse makes almost 1 mil more than f***in Draisaitl...

I feel it's just a size thing, he's got like 4 inches and 20lbs on Hughes. If Quinn was that big he'd be insane. But I agree, if Heiskanen continues to develop like this he'll leave Hughes and Makar in the dust as the #1 defenseman in the league.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Pavelski is totally washed.

 

[Bonham]

Damn, weak rebound.

Against the grain of play too.

Best thing about Hughes though is his strive to be better. Guys never satisfied.

Heh, yeah but but he ain't suddenly growing 4 inches and if he puts on 20 lbs. he'll be mini Shane O'Brien.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Remember...this is a Pete Deboer coached team.

 

[Nomobo]

I’m not worried..Skinner will come through for us

Somehow I'm picturing your avatar's dog saying this and it sounds even more hilarious than it already is.

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

That shot that hit Oettingers stick should have been a goal.

 

[Nomobo]

Not a fan of Benn but man…the guy is playing as well as he’s ever played. He’s 34?

 

[Sedinery]

Yet any Draibaby flop

Activate hockey gods

 

[Nomobo]

f***ing diver…

 

[canuckking1]

Oilers are the worse whiners in the league

 

[God]

That's a ridiculous embellishment from Draisaitl. I don't know how the Oilers are the only team allowed to do it. Ridiculous.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This Canucks powerplay cannot even enter the zone!
