I was looking for an article that popped up not too long ago that discussed Shawn Matthias' production at the onset of spring. Apparently he traditionally increases his output massively around this time every year. If anyone has the link please post.

Also nice to see that Kassian now has 6 points in his last 5 games

Looked like Kulikov was right down to the ice when he delivered that hit. I like a hip check as much as the next guy, but that was definitely a hit to the legs. Can't do that. If he'd done it right, the result would have been bruising but not crippling.

On the other hand, part of me thought it served Seguin right, but that's not a hit the league can allow.

Just saw it on TSN. I can't find it on Youtube.

I don't know It sounded like people were more angry that he did a hip-check when his head was down than the actual hit, so he couldn't brace for the impact.

Knowing the type of player Kuli is. I doubt their was intent to injure. Just mistimed his delivery.

Seguin's a douche anyway

The hockey god's told Seguin to screw off tonight.

I just watched it ---- looked PERFECTLY fine to me. Sequin was admiring his pass, not looking and he was hit legally.

I'll question you on whether it was a legal hit. it was hip to hip. It was shoulder to knee. Thats how far bent over he was.

I don;t see it that way. What can I tell you. I would like to think that in "my nhl", players who admire their own plays as they cross the blue line get Hortoned. But since Rome's play is now illegal, the hipcheck is the next best thing.

EDIT: Just watched it again... I think the shoulder was to the mid thigh. Is that illegal?

I dont think Shanahan could even answer that.

Kassian is a Monster.

If I had more computer skills. I'd make this my Avi.

Our only weak link lately has been Higgins
- VANTEL

Willie likes Higgins cuz he makes a lot of the little plays with and without the puck... To be successful.

I think you are in post-bruin-win euphoria. Higgins is not yet out of the dog house. His recent semi-turn around --- easy to say it is a turn around as he went from doing nothing to doing a little, --- is most likely attributed to his new line mate Vrbata than he.

"Could win a round or two".... if we face Chicago in the first round, maybe we can get by... but the rest, I am not as optimistic as you. And until I see Miller (WHom I like) get more consistent, then I do not think he has a King Richard Brodeur streak coming any time soon.

Canucks can beat potential playoff teams San Jose, Calgary, hawks, blues, or jets... They'll have trouble with Nashville, Anaheim, the mild, or L.A...

Don't forget about Cody "The Messiah" Hodgson.

Kassian will have a lazy game tonight and you'll be back to wanting to trade him.

He's still super low in ice time

I still like him for some reason
I think he can be KB3 2.0 - he has a better skillset and makes similar brain farts

RT @ShawnMatthias: Thank you Canucks fans for all the hats! I won't ever need to buy another hat again! A big W for the fellas tonight!

Kenins had 8 of Vancouver's 19 hits and played like a guy who knows he's fighting for his job after #Canucks picked up McMillan on waivers.
