Underrated strong game from Noah Philip tonight. Smart, smart player. I have a feeling he's going to be in this league for a while.
100%. Like Nuge, Philp is elite at little underrated impacts.

His AHL season was like a movie, literally zero to hero, week to week development. It looked a lot like the last two weeks, and just continued all season.

Also the Oilers brought Philp up at the exact right time imo, it really did take him this long to find his game in the AHL, and that decision should be celebrated because Oilers.
 
Just finished watching the game. Men among boys. The Canucks are awful. Hopefully their creepy loser fans led by their rat king LB haven't been trolling our board again tonight.

Awesome win. Was at the game.

Man, Darnell playing awesome but I really wish he had that extra level

Twice tonite he had a chance to be a bigtime player....he had a tired line and flew up the wing where he could of pulled a Hyman and cut wide to the net.
Next he had a lane right up the middle.
Both were guaranteed breaks but he elected to slow down.

Not sure how I feel about that. Gotta take those when gifted imo
 
It’s all come full circle for the Canucks and it’s well-deserved. Hughes is the only bright spot. It would suck to see him rot there. Hopefully he tries to join his brothers..

No love for J.Skinner tonight? He lead our team tonight with a 83.3 CF% and a 94.81 xGF%.

Really liked him with Philp and Kapanen. I think that's your 4th line going forward.
I'm not going to deny the stats because he was on the right side of it for the most part. But watching him play is painful, not a good skater and kills so many plays. He was unlucky not to get one tonight. I don't predict great things for him here and if there is any suitors I'd shed that contract for any other need.
 
Leon F’n Draisaitl

My word - the best I have ever seen him skate, it’s like he is finally healthy and over the baggage of injuries in the playoffs the last few years

Also, saw some stats on how impressive he has been when McDavid is not in the lineup - looks even crazier on a season by season basis

2018-2019: 4 games 6 pts
2019-2020: 7 games 12 pts
2021-2022: 1 game 1 pt
2023-2024: 6 games 16 pts
2024-2025: 5 games 10 pts

Best in the world
 
Call me crazy, I see Nashville continuing to roll and working their way into a playoff spot. 5 straight wins now. If I’m right, then Calgary and Vancouver will probably both miss the playoffs. I won’t be shedding any tears.

Nashville probably has to win 27/35 of their remaining games. Possible but i wouldn't bet on it
 
sorry boys was on a date tonight, maybe met the future ms.ofcorsidid ;) without further ado:

Canucks with 20 wins and 27 losses on the year and are about to be overtaken by St. Louis and Utah in the standings.

Looks good on them. :sarcasm:
Still in the playoff hunt. They could take that last spot and play us in the first round if we won the division, think about that.
