Ritchie has been very effective. I didn’t realize he has the foot speed he has shown.

Well finally saw Nordstrom do something half decent offensively a few shifts ago.

Kelly's might have a point there...have the 'Nucks finally gotten under Markstrom's skin and are baiting him.

These guys play like they never played together before. And try shoot, too much forced pass that never able to shoot.

Ritchie is looking fine on the first line today.

Fantastic first half, slowed down in the second half, and got destroyed in the playoffs.
That's what this core is......inconsistent and not good enough. The sample size is pretty large by now.
I'll still cheer like crazy but I think my expectations for this team are obviously a lot lower than some of you, which is totally fine. I just don't think they're all that great. In spurts, yes, overall.......no.

Ritchie is very similar to Ferland in some ways.
Can skate, is big and will go to the net.
Just doesn’t finish as well and that will probably be the issue.

Nordstrom is one of those guys that makes those around him better. Case and point: Tkachuk.

Even with that, Markstrom is still the MVP so far

I wonder if we see Markstrom pull a Roy and skate the puck to the red line tonight?

So why did the D pairings change? I thought that was one of the things that actually worked...

The Avs with Makar are also a very good team.

You have to give Vancouver a ton of credit. They just continue to outwork the Flames and beat them to every loose puck. The Canucks are one of the hardest working teams in the NHL, and the Flames are one of the laziest.
