Pretty much. It's also concerning that your two young dynamic talents weigh $1.50, especially in the playoffs.

It’s only the first game but I suspected Minnesota vets would give the Canucks trouble. Staal is playing well. He’s been a great signing for them.

Getting pushed around at times. The physicality is so much more apparent than in the regular season

Tweener team that’s defensively weak. The offensive talent is evident but you’ve gotta be better defensively.

PP goals dressing our so called PK specialists over JV, ZacMAC and OJ.

I looked it up, Canucks were 16th in P.K. this year.

Whiners blame refs. Scott Stevens was a beauty.

Great point...that is exactly what’s going down.

EASIEST offense to shut down is a 1 player/1 line scenario...

Minnesota aren’t even a good team!

For sure, always the concern with the small guy. Usually becomes more apparent as the playoffs drag on, but sometimes that speed kills.

I don't know who the (frank) you think you're trolling.

Most (many?) of us didn't expect the team in the playoffs this season.

You'd think they would have JV in there for that to take advantage of 3rd pair D.

Bench Sutter/Beagle for JV

You'd also think JV would pull his head out of his ass and earn his ice time.

When Jake learns to take advantage of being in the line up then maybe.

No argument here, and i'm not trashing the small skill guys.

However, if you expect two diminutive players to carry you through a Stanley Cup run then at least wait until they're fully grown men. At least that's what i've learned through the years.

JV or Zac. Could use his size and speed out there too. At least Beagle is engaging and scrumming it up
