Vancouver's power play is such a joy to watch. Total command, especially from Hughes.

Looks like STL's slump in the round robin was real. Vancouver has such an incredible well balanced offense. This team is going to be pretty dangerous in the West.

Well, sorta. They have an elite first-line that probably rivals any team in the league. Everything after is plug-and-play. It's just that that line is so good, it more than makes up for the fact Loui Eriksson is their second-line RW, and that Antoine Roussell is their third-line LW.

Thats with Leivo and Toffoli out tho. They also have a really good 2nd line center in Horvat. Virtanen is a solid 3rd line winger. Not to mention Hughes who?s playing like a stud that?s played playoff hockey for years.

 

I still think they will struggle against Vegas and/or Avs, but they?re not far away.

When did Bo Horvat become a master dangler? Jeez.

J.T. Miller = Playoffs Stud.

Just like Brent Howden and Vlad Nemestnikov.
