What does Myers really do, other than take penalties.

Markstrom was awesome, Binnington was not.

Never thought I'd say this, but go Vegas. This 'Nucks team are a scrappy group and I actually kinda like their team. But at the same time, screw 'em. It would be way too painful to see one of our biggest rivals go on a long run this year, especially after the way the Flames embarrassed themselves yet again.

Also, I live in Vancouver and I'd never hear the end of it from my Canucklehead friends. Christ, it'll be bad enough just hearing them gloat about knocking off the defending champs. So yea...f*** them. Go Knights!

I really hate Vegas. Other than disliking the Canucks based on history I don’t dislike this iteration.

Congratulations to the Canucks for being the only Canadian team standing. But, Vegas will destroy them.

This series should go to show people how slim the difference is between a Stanley Cup winning team and a team that exits the first round in six games.

And probably more importantly, how much you need goaltending you can count on.

I think Vegas will beat the Canucks, and then actually probably go on to win the Stanley Cup.

This 100%. I live here too and these morons couldn't name 3 players on the team until a couple days ago. I couldn't even have a decent hockey conversation with 95 percent of ppl for the last 5 years. Now everyone us a fan again. #### them.

Yup. And the Blues were smart to not go crazy and hand Binnington a ridiculous contract after their cup run. He looked far from solid against the Canucks.

This is not a position I expected to be in as a Canucks fan. This was my "just happy to be there" year.

Markstrom played unreal. The team's top young players played unreal. The team's depth didn't play like a tire fire. It's about as perfect as it could have gone.

Vegas, as a team, has had the Canucks number since they came in the league and I don't expect that to change now that we're in the play-offs. Expect this one to be 5, 6 if we're real lucky.

Nah, you're selling your team short. I think the Canucks will give Vegas all they can handle.

Pettersson > Gaudreau
Boeser < Monahan
Miller < Tkachuk
Horvat = Lindholm

People will have different opinions on different pairs, but I think those comparisons make the most sense, and, in aggregate, the two groups are pretty similar overall.
