Post-Game Talk: 11/9/17 | Canucks 1 @ Ducks 4

[Nuckles]

Great....

Per Coach Green, Chris Tanev has returned to Vancouver. “He’s got an upper-body injury that will keep him out at least the rest of this road trip.”
Edler will play vs. Ducks.

The tank has officially begun.

 

[MS]

Is Demko still up with the Canucks? Markstrom is coming off a terrific game, but Demko is from SoCal so Anaheim would be a cool place for him to get his first start. Could probably have a lot of friends/family at the game.

Green will not give Demko a start. Just isn't how he works.

... and Tanev is out. Things are gonna get ugly fast for this team.

 

[NuxFan09]

Sucks about Tanev. Biggest loss this team could suffer.

Hopefully the boys are able to step up and rally without him.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

This has to be seen as a must win if were to make a run for the playoffs. Calling a 2-1 victory with heart and soul goals from Horvat and Virtanen

Almost as pre-mature as the Fire Green thread. But yeah, a big 4 point game.

My main focus tonight isn't necessarily the W but how we stack up against them. We play a lot contenders this month.

 

[Alan Jackson]

Green will not give Demko a start. Just isn't how he works.

Yeah, they might be able to muddle through the California trip without him, but if he's out any longer than that...yikes.

 

[hellstick]

Hard to imagine a win tonight without Tanev. He's been consistently our best player all season.

 

[I am toxic]

Tanev out for the rest of the road trip. Yeesh...

iirc, Tanev was out in the dying seconds of the CGY game when it was 5-3, and took 2 hits in the corner to the left <edit: should say when facing Marky> of Marky just as the buzzer sounded.

Hopefully that was not when he took/aggravated any upper body injury, but either way, why is Tanev out there at risk when the game is already sewn up? I thought that was Gudbranson's raison d'etre.

Hutton-Del Zotto
Edler-Gudbranson
Pouliot-Biega

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Is Nilsson a Daddy yet?

I'm a little surprised how long they've let him flee the coop already. Hopefully everything is fine and there hasn't been any complications. Other than that... Have a C-section already!

 

[Zombotron]

Yeah, the kid was delivered. Think it's his third child, in fact

[duxfan1101]

Good luck tonight. Ducks are without Getzlaf, Kesler, Eaves, and Fowler for awhile. Kase, who has been one of our best forwards this season, went on IR after last game along with Boll. Gibson might be out since we recalled Berra. I will warn you that we are not a very exciting team to watch (unless we are playing LA).

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Good news. And Congrats.

Demko, spend your extra Christmas shopping money wisely.

 

[The Stig]

Edler for sure in per SNET650

 

[StreetHawk]

Good for his family. Guess after the game, Demko will be returned to Utica. He needs to get back in the net.

Expect markstrom to play an and sj. Think Nilsson gets the net in LA. Gives him a couple of practices to get back into the groove.

 

[NoShowWilly]

Any complications at all and I doubt Nilsson wants to be anywhere other than with his family.

As a new dad I learned a lot about that whole process.

The games aren't super important right now and we do have two very capable goalies with the team at this time.

 

[DL44]

This is hilarious!!

Always love me some Bieksa on the mic...

Great....

Per Coach Green, Chris Tanev has returned to Vancouver. “He’s got an upper-body injury that will keep him out at least the rest of this road trip.”
Edler will play vs. Ducks.

I'm going to blindly assume this as the explanation for his puck handling the last few games....

 

[CherryToke]

The Dahlin dream is alive with Tanev out.

 

[Nomobo]

With Taney out, it's time for others to step up. Edler is back and the Canucks strength has been their team game so I think this game is very winnable. 3-2 for the good guys.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Tanev being out is a crushing blow. Worse still is that it likely means more ice time for Gudbranson, who easily holds the mantle of "worst player" thus far this year, IMO. Would rather see Pouliot or Biega get extra ice time over him.

 

[Zombotron]

7 - 2 Ducks. Anaheim goals by Getzlaf, Kesler, Kaše, Gibson. Our goals by Tanev and Stecher.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

7 - 2 Ducks. Anaheim goals by Getzlaf, Kesler, Kaše, Gibson. Our goals by Tanev and Stecher.

Yeah, maybe Rucchin and Kilger will get on the board as well

No bigger Biega fan than me, but I think Biega needs to be rested every third game. Being a smaller guy who goes all-out all the time, I think his game drops off with fatigue.

 

[krutovsdonut]

might be a coincidence, but it seems like tanev came out the moment edler was ready. so probably a nagging injury.

should be an interesting night with edler drawing in and somebody playing their off side.

 

[M2Beezy]

Good news. And Congrats.

Marky is playing tonight tho would be nice to see Demko get a game in Eddy
