He was everywhere against Florida. Very impressive game.

He really brings out the "I want to f***ing kill you" in everyone he plays against. :laugh:

Well, isn't that just...the perfect guy to have against Bruins?

I can't believe it's been 14 years and we still have to watch Brad Marchand skate around Rogers Arena with his head attached to his shoulders.

Think they should start Lanky coming off a shutout for this one.

I'd like to see them really slow play getting Demko back up to speed. Start with 1 start every 3-4 games and gradually increase it so it's 1 of 2 by the time playoffs get here.

Then evaluate how things are before deciding what the playoff rotation should be. And assuming both are playing at the top of their games, there should be a playoff rotation imo.

I was just walking down Robson and I notice a girthy individual, look up, and it’s Nikita Zadorov doing some shopping. I guess they don’t have practice or anything to do today.
Shopping for a new home? ;) ;) ;)🙏

Will Sherwood "poke the Bear"?

Or should they just the bear hibernate?

They will be ornery after that as$ kicking.

They are still in the PO hunt there too

No Lindholm though not that he has been lighting it up.

The team looked pretty good rolling 4 lines. Shot against were not embarrassing either.

Lindholm is having a miserable season in Beantown, and is now on the shelf with an injury. And Zadorov just hasn't met expectations either.

Canucks dodged a huge bullet with these guys. They got what they needed out of them in the playoffs last season--but that was 'then', this is 'now'.

I'm good with alternating the games - Demko on Saturday, Lanks on Monday, and so on.

Lankinen seems to thrive when he can get a rest between games. And Demko needs to stay active to get back to his former fab self. Further down the road, adjustments can be made with regard to who is the opposing team(s).

I feel badly for Lindholm. Don't wish either of those guys any ill will (except when they're playing us). What a nightmare start for Lindholm.

But that whole Bruins team is a bit of a mess right now. Hope they can stay that way on Saturday night. And they can keep staying that way as long as Marchand is still playing.

Lindholm is a 45-55 point center that is paid like a 70-80 point center. He's never truly been that guy. He got paid off a stacked Calgary roster.
