[MikeK]

Hope we have a better start. If we can weather that early storm I like our chances.

 

[MS]

I need the Canucks to keep winning because the Blue Jays are a f***ing tragedy.

The 2024 Blue Jays are the living embodiment of the 2007-08 Canucks.

 

[ChilliBilly]

Hope you guys feel better soon, man, and hope the Canucks deliver good vibes tomorrow to help you both on the road to recovery!

thank you. Sadly she doesn't give a damn, other than the fact it makes me happy.

Amusing side note, the only sport she likes to watch is Aussie rules. Everything else, whether it be NFL or NHL etc she can't watch 5 minutes without being pissed off at the reffing.

Edit - she tries to watch, and goes how the f*** do they not call that? Why are the rules different in the post season? And this is a women born in TX, from a very disadvantaged family, and grew up in Central California, and basically never watched a hockey game until we hooked up 20 years ago.

Re -edit ... I suspect the enjoyment of Aussie rules is that it a sport of continuous entertainment, and her being 70 maker her like the fact that they are in very good shape. And I may be wrong, but I think it has more fans Than any other sport but cricket ....

Not sure why there’s talk about Dallas right now. We have a game to play tonight and if we lose, we could be up for elimination.

Focus on the task at hand.

Sometimes when I read comments like this, I want to play devil's advocate and argue that even if we hypothetically got eliminated by Edmonton, it would still be perfectly reasonable at that point to discuss hypotheticals about our approach against Dallas for the fun of it, and that what we're calling "looking ahead" really has no bearing on the outcome either way, so your seemingly level-headed sentiment can almost be looked at as weird superstition/insecurity/projection on your part, in a round-about way. =P

I hope the Nucks can get the same number of quality shots they did last game tonight against Skinner.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Keep the foot to the floor like last game please. We looked great in game 5 let's bring that same effort tonight let's get this game going soon !!

Aussie rules is such absolute f***ing confusing carnage that there is no possible way to tell if the refs are doing a good job.

Go Crows!

PDO frauds all the way to the Western Conference Finals! Let’s go!

 

[Paulinbc]

Not contesting that, but as a Canuck fan, that strategy hurts.

why would that strategy hurt?

The 2024 Blue Jays are the living embodiment of the 2007-08 Canucks.

Is that "baseball"? Baseball doesn't exist.
Why do you say that??

 

[LadyJet26]

Playing bingo before game starts. Here's hoping I win the Kinsmen Jackpot Bingo and the Canucks kick some ass tonight!

 

[MS]

why would that strategy hurt?


Is that "baseball"? Baseball doesn't exist.
Why do you say that??

Two teams that both hit a dead-end in the previous season and had obvious changes needed but management literally did nothing except small backward steps and you can tell the whole vibe around you the team from the players out is that it’s a lost year pretty much from the start.

 

[strattonius]

What are you guys talking about 'weather an early storm'. It's the other way around. We have them on the ropes, anxious to get back at us, and nervous in front of their own fans. We looked tragically mistake prone at the beginning of game 5.

Go in there and take the game to them. There is no weathering of a storm that is loser mentality. We are the team to beat tonight.

Let's GOOOOoOOoOOoOOOOOO!!!

 

[NailsHoglander]

I need the Canucks to keep winning because the Blue Jays are a f***ing tragedy.

Like every Toronto team. Vancouver needs an MLB team.

 

[Ozone]

Hoping we see lots of this tonight:

 

[ProviesGhost]

My biggest question going into tonight is, how does this affect the Leafs?

 

[Lenny Levino]

I already started my fasting

So you don't eat for 3 hours every time a game is on?

I admire your willpower.

 

[Shareefruck]

why would that strategy hurt?

Hurt as in it's an unpleasant thought due to leftover personal attachment/respect for the player.

Nice Bieksa is back on HNIC tonight.

 

[TruGr1t]

Nice Bieksa is back on HNIC tonight.

Was just on vacation apparently.

 

[Nopefully]

Let’s go boys, we’ve got this

 

[Raistlin]

My biggest question going into tonight is, how does this affect the Leafs?

From all the talk, it directly means 97 is going to put on his leaf jammies and request a trade there after tonight.

 

[Luck 6]

Nice Bieksa is back on HNIC tonight.

2 game suspension?

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

My biggest question going into tonight is, how does this affect the Leafs?

"We interrupt this game for breaking Leafs news that Auston Matthews has cut his toenails"

Calling Skinner a franchise goaltender is a stretch and a half

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

From all the talk, it directly means 97 is going to put on his leaf jammies and request a trade there after tonight.

Hypothetically. Would you accept a trade that involved 97 if it meant you had to take Darnell Nurse?
