[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]

You’re not expecting to score 5 goals every night. That’s a lot of goals against the talent in this league and how good teams are.
At the same time, if we can keep four lines going and out-change the other team and play with speed on every line, it’s hard to stop.
- J.T. Miller

I don't think we are super pleased with everything in our game and you can't expect it to be perfect every night, you just need to find different ways to win.
I think the big thing is we have so many different guys right now stepping up at key moments, everyone doing important things for this team to win.
- Henrik Lundqvist

I think Brady’s skating real well and Kleiner for the most part. He and Kleiner have had some real good chemistry.
What I’ve liked about Brady’s progression is he’s skating away from the hard pressure and being able to beat the forecheck.
- Alain Vigneault

[silverfish]

Let the all out war on Papa John's continue!

 

[Irishguy42]

Now...this is the perfect trap game.

That being said...beat them while they're still down. And then take another day off because the next game isn't until Saturday.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Yuuuuuuge trap game.

 

[Crease]

Beat em like it's 1994

 

[Irishguy42]

Nucks going to win 10-0.

 

[Cheapshot]

Beat em like it's 1994

You win / this thread

 

[Black Tank]

No goddam letdown. Vancouver is not as bad as they are playing and they must be ready to kill for a win to break the losing streak. Focus and finish them off.

 

[I Eat Crow]

Guys, I apologize for the Rangers loss ahead of time tonight. I'll be at the game.

 

[eco's bones]

I suspect Girardi will be back in. We need to win this.

 

[GOAT AINEC]

The Canucks are the lowest scoring team in the league on a 9 game losing streak. The Rangers are the highest scoring team in the league on a 5 game winning streak.

5-0 Canucks win.

 

[Gardner McKay]

The Canucks are the lowest scoring team in the league on a 9 game losing streak. The Rangers are the highest scoring team in the league on a 5 game winning streak.

5-0 Canucks win.

If the Canucks don't win 5-0 their coach is going to be axed. This team has been embarrassingly bad.

 

[Boruto]

This one will be interesting. Hottest vs. coldest team and yet a game is ever only a few shots away.

 

[Morten]

Rangers will score 1 early then stop playing and end up losing 4-1

 

[GordonGecko]

Canucks entering on a 9-game losing streak, leaving on a 10-game streak

going for the papa johns double tonight

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

I hope this isn't a trap game.

Canucks lost 9 in a row, Rangers won 5 in a row.

Canucks lowest scoring team, Rangers highest scoring team.

If the Rangers come out and play how they have been playing they will win, if they try and sleepwalk through it they will lose.

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

Classic letdown game.I'll be happy with a win, but not expecting it.

Watch them nuke Miller and hang 6 on him.

 

[Let Blaine Die]

If the Canucks don't win 5-0 their coach is going to be axed. This team has been embarrassingly bad.

Shame. Years of mismanagement has left the cupboard bare. Their roster is atrocious and I don't think Desjardins is at fault.

Their only tworthwhile prospect is Demko. That's it.

 

[Irishguy42]

Is Miller going to play tonight? He played last night.

 

[Loff]

No word out there yet, but gotta think Markstrom starts tonight.

 

[OrbitalDynamics]

If the Canucks don't win 5-0 their coach is going to be axed. This team has been embarrassingly bad.

Losing Tanev and Edler leaves them with a Defence in worse shape than the Rangers.On paper at least.

 

[colin6]

We apparently have 13 players with more points than any player on Vancouver....Our goal differential compared to Van is +42. In the last 5 games we've scored 26 goals while they've scored 22 all season long. Such a trap game.....

 

[GordonGecko]

Such a trap game.....

Well, Rangers finally had a full day off yesterday and the Canucks are coming on the end of a back-to-back and massively depressed (who wouldn't be losing to the Islanders ).

Then the Rangers know they have 3 days off coming up right after this so they can just empty the tank and you know AV wants to stick it to Vancouver

 

[Doctor King Schultz]

Too bad Torts isn't still their coach. Kreider would have had a monster game for certain.

 

[Anthony5967]

Gotta be honest. This is a YUUUUUUUUUUGE game tonight. Reason being, these guys have had types of games like this over the years in which they have lost. Whole offseason and preseason these players tried to convince that they have learned from this and that. Well, we are gonna see tonight.
