[Coach]

Both Ferland and the player who grabbed his stick should be suspended. 1 game each for moronitude.

[Enoch Root]

You can't be grabbing sticks or engaging players from the bench - that needs to be punished.

But in no way does that give someone a green light to spear another player. He needed to be suspended for that.

[TheScorpion]

Unbelievable shot by Pearson puts Vancouver up 1-0.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Well, there goes the shutout streak. Hell of a shot.

[agulati]

That’s a quick goal by the Canucks.

[agulati]

And now Canucks take a penalty. Let’s go Wild!

One series is already over and this one is only starting Game 2.

I was going to say, this is game 2, right? The graphic on Sportsnet shows "Series Tied 1-1". Thought I was losing my mind.

Is Virtanen not playing once again for the Canucks? 18 goal scorer scratched for the second straight game in the playoffs.

[ComixZone]

Pettersson gets crosschecked a lot.

He's playing, as is Eriksson for whatever reason... It looks like Gaudette is out and I don't see Tyler Toffoli - maybe unfit to play?

EDIT: Yep. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/ho...le-for-game-2/

I criticized the Miller acquisition, more the price paid to get him but has he ever been good for this canucks team. Everything you want in a player.

[Ashasx]

This is a really late game for Minnesotans.

Interesting how that trade is playing out. The conditional first round pick that Vancouver sent to Tampa was going to be a 2020 first round pick as long as it wasn’t a lottery pick. At this point, I believe the highest that pick can be this year is 8th overall. If they lose the play-in round and win first overall... the pick is deferred to next year in the first round.

I think it gets deferred no matter what if they lose.

Anyone who thought the Canucks lost game 1 because they didn't get enough power plays is certainly learning otherwise.

Ferland hasnt played since 3 mins left I'm the first

Csnucks writers on twitter say hes not on the bench

[Magnum PEI]

They said it might be from a shot block. I'm skeptical though.
