The character development of Myers as a Canucks is incredible
I think that line is the only line where all 3 players can make plays and cycle the puck.
The puck is dying on Mik and Hog’s stick quite a lot.
extend Z and Lindholm. Starting to be not sure about Hronek. If he’s injured that explains a lot but at the same time, injured again? He was gone last season after we acquired him, is this going to be a chronic thing. Either way it seems like it’s not good.

Myers was always a good guy, and Tocchet identified him as a locker-room leader basically from Day 1.
They've figured out how to utilize him way better, though.

I know round 1 win is no championship and that there's ways to go, but you gotta hoist #57's cup to the giraffters after that game saving block
Nilsson and Archibald, Canucks legends

It's wild that this series overall consisted of:
1 home win
5 road wins
1 home win
5 road wins

Yep, everything has to go right to win a cup, including Demko coming back and being at the top of his game, and Pettersson getting out of his funk. The Canucks escaped the first round without everything going right but that luck is unlikely to continue.

Would love Z to be my hype man

Hah, I remember being unhappy with the return for Nilsson and Archibald because what's a 6th going to ever do for the Canucks

This 2023-24 version of the Canucks are officially playing with 'house money'. Nobody predicted them to win the Pacific or win a playoff round.
They'll be the decided 'underdogs for as long as their playoff run lasts.
Tocchet actually made some interesting comments in his post-game presser. He predicted the Canucks would a lot less uptight and be a lot less fearful of making mistakes in their next series. It's a possibility. These games with the Preds were so tight that one crucial mistake could change the entire outcome of the series.
Maybe if they loosen up a bit, they can make more creative plays in the neutral zone, which was their calling card during the regular season.

B-Geezy for tha win
Silovs ends the series with a 93.8 SV% a GAA of 1.70 and 1 shut out.
He was so calm out there. This kid is going to be taking the reigns from Demko the next couple seasons. I've heard Ian Clarke is super high on Silovs, and he has been fantastic this first round vs Nashville

Terrific numbers and remember, he LOST one of those games (which shows you how well Soros played). If we don't stick with him now we're nuts...

While Silovs is very deservedly the king of the town right now. My boy Demko had similar numbers while not playing in front of Cole, Blueger, Lindholm, Z and Soucy though. Credit to Allvin there.
