If the review takes longer than a minute, the call on the ice should stand.

That would require the refs to be good to begin with and not call things with the review to fall back on

I really thought they were dead in the water with their nightmare matchup against the Jets, but damn have they shown up in this series. f***ing wild, I wonder who can stop them.

As long as Georgiev gives them average goaltending, they will blow through all opponents the way they are playing.

They had a poor offseason and then corrected or improved almost all their issues at the deadline.

I want them out in the first round because reasons. That means they'll be going deep.

How could Ryan Reaves let this happen.

And just further to that, I don't really think the 'big 4' is the biggest problem either.

Biggest problem is coaching. I don't think Keefe is 'the worst' coach in the league or anything but he's middling at best and below-average at worst and isn't a guy who can coach the sort of structure into teams that wins in the playoffs. And this is doubly important on a team built around skill players which has consistently been iffy/lacking in terms of goaltending/blueline personnel.

They’ve also not done anything substantial to improve the defence. Have tinkered on the margins and depth but nothing that actually would make a long-term difference.

WPG vs COL for my money had been the most entertaining series. So much speed on both sides.

David Amber is the guy to replace Ron asap.

Watch us win today with our third string goalie when other "powerhouse" teams like the Leafs can't do shit with anything.

 

[calnuck]

Crazy that this amount of officiating incompetency is allowed and present in the playoffs. Penalties that shouldn’t even be called in the regular season are commonplace right now, it’s insane

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Jets are a team too reliant on elite goaltending. Was never sold on them...called it all season long.

Monahan and Toffoli are just too slow in the playoffs.

Makar is good.

 

[calnuck]

Jets just imploding. Jesus Christ

 

[Flik]

Makar is good.

That's the f***ing best play I've seen this year, jesus.

End to end, unreal.

 

[Red]

colorado looks very good

 

[canuckking1]

Makar 9 points in 4 games

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Watching Colorado only proves what playoff experience can do in the long-run for a team. Absolutely dominating.

 

[Flik]

Makar 9 points in 4 games

Clearly gunning for another Conn Smythe, I hope our game breakers start making game breaking plays like Makar did today.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

That bracket with Colorado, Dallas and Vegas is going to emerge out of the West.

Just cannot see Edmonton, Nashville, LA or Vancouver beating any of those teams.

 

[alternate]

If we aren't the team that comes out of the west, definitely rooting for it to be COL.

 

[Canucks LB]

Makar is honestly on another planet right now

 

[Killer Orcas]

Makar is good.

Ain't no Hughes

 

[Flik]

Makar is honestly on another planet right now

I can't wait to genuinely cheer for him at the Olympics. Right now, I can just appreciate the talent at a distance, but it'd be fun to put my heart into it at some point lol

Hughes should absolutely be the Norris winner this season, but in the playoffs Makar has taken his game to another level.

He's technically ineligible, isn't he?

No clue, why would he be ineligible?

I'm a die hard Canucks fan that would take Makar over Hughes agree with your opinion. Was just having some fun.
