[Bertuzzzi44]

This one’s for the history books. Either you’re a Winner or you’re a Loser, you pick and make it happen, will your way to victory.

It’s my scheduled work out day on Monday, what do you guys think I should do

It’s my scheduled work out day on Monday, what do you guys thinking should do

The plague is currently going around--call in dead for monday but say you should be well by Thursday

 

[Bertuzzzi44]

Just beat the Oilers, will be nauseating to hear their obnoxious fans gloat, don’t care if we get swept by the Stars after.

We'll likely lose, given how we played.

But that's something I've made my peace with.

Still proud of our team, still will be.

 

[thecupismine]

There has been zero game to game momentum this series.

Boys gotta get in the zone & dial in mentally - effort without good mental just results in you running around looking like a chicken with it's head cut off.

This team has ducked all the historical trends of previous Canucks teams. Tons of late game heroics, big comebacks, even keeled mental, etc. I have faith they'll bring it next game.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Score first please. Our biggest problem is that we are chasing the game in every single way. We were so good at scoring first in the regular season. Idk what happened

 

[centipede2233]

We’re not winning with no demko. In fact it’s pretty amazing we’re at game 7 in rd 2 with demko out. I want the Canucks to win, but whoever does it’ll be deserved. If passengers show up, they deserve to be golfing then playing hockey

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Cannot believe I am not that worried about the pk going into game 7. That statement would sound crazy to me 11 days ago. Don’t get me wrong stay out of the box but it’s very far the inevitable feeling I had in game 1 when we took a penalty.

 

[crazychimp]

There’s no holding back this is it you have to throw shots on net much like game 5.

Forward have to cover defense didn’t see much of that in the last one.

It’s almost like they need to go back to:

Structure
Habits
Standards

Who would have thought in September they could be giving themselves an opportunity to go to a 3rd round for a conference final championship?

Let’s go!

Up till last night Silvo had saved our asses

 

[Big zZz]

I feel like we weren't as physical last night. Need to ramp that up again. Home crowd will help that.

Mik in over pod too. I'd like to see that change.

 

[Big zZz]

I think the frustrating thing is that we can win if we play the right way. Actually playing that way is the problem.

We’ve won 6 difficult games in this postseason with no Demko.

I don’t understand that mentality. We have a fighting chance as long as the guys give everything they have on the ice.

 

[theguardianII]

Trying to mentally prepare myself for the disappointment.

How can anyone be disappointed by this team going this far? October 2023, "IF everything goes right I think we are a playoff team, but everything has to go right"
Canucks look to be fighting for a wild card spot this year.

Who would have thunk Division winners, game seven round two?

Home ice, home crowd, come out pressing.
You've worked hard all year for this moment, now produce.

Big games I would tell the players, every game you played all year was practice for this one.

Just beat the Oilers, will be nauseating to hear their obnoxious fans gloat, don’t care if we get swept by the Stars after.

I think the only thing heard out of Edmonton will be sighs of relief. Or calls for the headsman.

We'll likely lose, given how we played.

But that's something I've made my peace with.

Still proud of our team, still will be.

Last game Vancouver looked laid back and not putting out 110%, maybe 85 to 90%.
A plan?
Did Edmonton just blow their wad? Give everything they had and more?
While the Canucks were almost coasting?

The Canucks didn't shoot enough for Skinner to gain back all he has lost in confidence and the Nux were still unlucky not to get another goal, maybe two.

Was that a round/game they rested and gave the Oilers?



The Canucks dominated in game 5 after less than outstanding games the previous 3 tilts.

The Canucks will have last change, with good in game coaching that can mean a lot.
It is game seven, has the Canuck management been exaggerating on Demko's return? Or a plan?

You have to really want it. Impose their will.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Don’t forget STL in 2003 -

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

And just like that, we’re the underdogs again. For 24 hours after Game 5, the hockey world was treating this time like they belonged and gave them some long overdue kudos. Now it’s right back to being a road bump on the Mighty Oilers’ path to Lord Stanley, now that “the real Oilers” have decided to show up.

I’m proud of this group no matter how this game goes, and I’ve enjoyed this ride with you all - but I hope we take those narratives and shove them up the hockey world’s collective ass.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

Score first please. Our biggest problem is that we are chasing the game in every single way. We were so good at scoring first in the regular season. Idk what happened

I think they need to run a practice where the goal is to score first more.

 

[MikeK]

Not sure what to expect. This team has shown it can completely dominate games while other times shown they can be completely dominated. Let us see which team wants it more.

 

[Donuts]

Canucks win

 

[JT Milker]

For the love of god just win and we can ignore last night happened.

 

[Grip it N RYP it]

Regardless of what happens, it was a fun season. Lots of ups and downs, and you all had a part in that haha

That being said, let's crush it
