It's almost impossible to over-state how important this 'lull' in the Canucks schedule will be as we close in on the playoffs.

It might not show up tonight, because for some reason when the Canucks are coming out of a break in their schedule, they can lose the edge in their game. But 'bigger picture' the opportunity for rest and recovery is far more important than even wins and losses at this point.

The only chance of the Canucks going on a long playoff run is if they have all hands on deck, healthy and rested.

you guys are gonna crush us I think but I respect the energy around here. cheers to a super fast fun injury free game

 

[M2Beezy]

MacKinnon is on the same level as McDavid right now, except the Avs have a way more complete team that McDavids Oilers. Going to have to have everyone playing at their best to get the W.

I disagree they are on the same level. I feel that McDavid is a clear step above but has a far far inferior team. Colorado is far more well rounded, as you say, but McDavid is f***ing insane an incomparable

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Gonna miss the game, good luck

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

McDavid is the best player I have ever seen. MacKinnon is right behind him though.

 

[David71]

where would you rank the goalies in terms of playoff matchup edge.

1.Connor heyllybeck​

2.jake oettinger

3.demko
4.skinner/pickard/campbell if he returns.
5.avs:Alexandar Georgiev/ justus annunen. franzous injured"

Av's obviously rolling through Cowtown last night...Not really that much of a commute after the game.

Hopefully the Canucks can dictate, and set the pace right off the bat..They did it against Vegas and the Jets...The last two have been some of the best/complete Canuck hockey we've seen this season.

Rooting for either Podz/Mikheyev to bag one tonight.

mikheyev is due for 1-2 so many good chances the last couple of games.

Good news!

Who was more hated in the late 90's in the lower mainland: Mark Messier or Bindy Johal

Mark Messier never did anything this funny:

My wife and kids are out of town. This might be the first game I can watch from beginning to end in a very long time!

Oh you just know that you're going to pass out in the 1st period

 

[LuckyDay]

Eagerly awaiting the pre-game ceremony honoring Bert for this anniversary. I heard that Nazzy and Brad May may have flown in to support his friend. Crow can't be there but has submitted a video that will be played explaining that though Bert that the cheque is in the mail.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

For me, this is the biggest game of the season. It's not only two of the top teams in the West going toe-to-toe, the subplot is Hughes and Makar are also going toe-to-toe. This game may have Norris Trophy implications.

McDavid's playoff performances, win or lose, have been insane. But if there's another player out there who can boast being such an impact player in the post-season, to me, it's MacKinnon.

I'd probably still pick McDavid if forced to pick just one for a series. But the gap is pretty close, I think. MacKinnon is a huge X-Factor in the playoffs.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also, to that bald bastard article:

 

[Jimnastic]

He pay child support?

I probably shouldn't have posted that. The child turned out great. Never heard about the involvement of Messier.

All the best to that kid, Messier would've been a deadbeat.

 

[BWJM]

Nothing makes me feel old (31) like a 7:30 start.

Hopefully it's eventful, but in a good way.

 

[Breakers]

Mackinnon scares me way more than Makar does.

Mackinnon is a psychopath in his conditioning and is constantly attacking on offense.
He doesn’t even allow you to rest when he is on the ice.

 

[NoShowWilly]

730 on a wednesday. f***!

Won’t be able to watch this as it’s blacked out in my province, but let’s go boys! Post up another W

 

[alternate]

If we lose, or even win without blowing them out, I'm blaming yzeeB2M for his thread shenanigans.
