We scored two goals in the third against the Bruins to send it to OT (where we won it).

If we could do that against the #1 team in the league, why can't we do it against a borderline wildcard team in Vegas?

We have the offensive firepower.

Think there's a real possibility now that the Canucks don't win the Pacific. The reason is simple....they're nowhere near as good as the Oilers.

And the problem with the playoffs, is you can't flip it on and off like a light switch. And right now, their overall game is really nowhere close to where it needs to be.

Bruins were at the tail end of a road trip with their 3rd game in 4 nights, they were definitely tired during that 3rd period.

A decent second period. Definitely pushing in the offensive zone.

But looking sloppy and stupid in the defensive zone and some of the worst line changes I've seen in a long time.

This one isn't quite over. If we score a goal in the first 8 minutes it's a game.

Joshua looks amazing out there. Loved hearing Macintyre say he may be signed before the season ends. You win with players like him.

Hughes looking human in his own zone, Cole looked like he got worked in the 1st period (saw some goal highlights, started watching at end of 1st).

I feel like we’ve seen 3-4 distinct different Canucks teams this year. That felt like a different team a long time ago lol

I do wonder what this team would look like with Necas and Jarvis in EP's place.
Hey everyone, our 25 year old superstar center is slumping. Let's assume that 'this is who he is' now, and also assume that Jarvis is going to keep scoring like he has in the last 12 games playing with Aho and Guentzel.

Hughes-Hronek have been a clear weak spot tonight. Vegas’ speed + size has given them issues.

I think the rest of the team outside of them + the 4th has actually looked okay at 5v5

EP has been "slumping" all season, apart from a few flashes.

People wouldn't doubt him if he put up when it mattered.

Um Cole- Zadorov. Without them and Desmith this game might still be in reach.

Looks like I made the right decision to not watch this game after seeing the ref lineup.

They had the one bad goal where you can really say Cole messed up, but Cole actually has been solid outside of that at 5v5. Zadorov barely played so no real comment.

Vegas has had some of their most dominant shifts against Hughes-Hronek.
