Bieksa in this series reminds me of Derian Hatcher in 2004. Living off reputation but the game and physicality is starting to pass him by.

The thing that I am surprised at is that Vancouver hasn't targetted Engellend the way that Anaheim did early in the season. You may recall that Jackman dodged McGrattan (or Bollig) and hacked Gaudreau off the faceoff, then skated to the blueline and obliged Engellend. It took Engellend off the ice for 5 and made the Flames have to overplay a new D-pairing. Same thing here. If the Canucks sent Dorset to try Engellened in a fair 1 on 1 fight, you know Engellened is itching for that. Should that happen the Flames are then having to bump Schlemko up a pairing and putting more pressure on the top 3. Just something that i'm surprised they haven't done yet.
