WE'VE GOT KASSIAN NOW
Really, calling the Canucks pushovers is pretty silly. The Bruins are the toughest team in the NHL and the Canucks were riddled with injuries. We've got enough toughness that the Jets wouldn't be able to exploit any 'soft' players.
Schneider is starting. And that Luongo narrative is kinda strange given how he's been one of the most consistent goalies this season.
Sorry Soc, my confidence in Luongo was destroyed in last years playoffs. As I said though, I've not looked at his stats or play this year, so I really don't know how he has been since. If he has been better, which I guess he must have since you guys are still up there, then good. You said Schneider is starting though, so it's a moot point in that regard. I recall him playing for us here in Winnipeg on the Moose. He's a keeper.
And about the toughness aspect... again I think of that one gif. where Marchand (It was him right?) is just punching one of the Sedins over and over and over again while he does nothing like a ragdoll. I know at times it's better not to retaliate but... eh... as I said before, this is why I am looking forward to tomorrow's game. I want to see what we can do against the team that nearly won the cup last year. We've proven that we can beat the champs unlike certain other teams, and I want to see how we do up against you guys. I've got some friends in B.C. that have been eager to see a rivalry return between us. (Still should have beaten you guys in the first round so many years ago in Bure's rookie year. We had you down 3-1!)
Until tomorrow though, all this is speculation. Whether any of it will be validated will be proven soon enough.
Damn you guys and your 9pm CST start though. I have to work early the next day! =P
