GDT: 2/1 Preds vs Nucks 7pm

[nine_inch_fang]

Poile projected that Fabbro would be back for this game and Tolvanen should be out of covid protocol as well. Unless there's a surprise injury or sickness this will be the first time since December the full starting roster is on the ice so it's time to get two points and not lose anymore to this crap team.

This is one of those games you have to find a way to win.

Cmon Perds, do it for JP Dumont

 

[Soundgarden]

Finally, some more hockey.

 

[triggrman]

Nucks owned our forecheck last game. Will be interesting to see if we adjusted.

Nucks owned our forecheck last game. Will be interesting to see if we adjusted.

That was one of the games that was played without Ekholm /Fabbro and Davies was in the lineup. I think we'll see a big difference in the forecheck with those two at the point or in the neutral zone. We talk a lot about how important it is to have 5 men playing defense but it's just as important for an aggressive forecheck to be backed up by competent Dmen that either pinch and hold the puck in the offensive zone or break up/slow down a break out, that does elude the forecheck, right away in the neutral zone. Without the high pressure and tight gaps from the backend that you talk about all the time there are too many holes to be exploited.

All those words just to say that I'm not sure there are any adjustments needed other than the change in personnel from the last game.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Hynes confirms, Fabbro and Tolvanen are back in tonight!

Hynes confirms, Fabbro and Tolvanen are back in tonight!

Hopefully we get the same Fabbro back and there isn't some kind of after injury slump.

Nothing recent; I'm still salty about the Burrows hit that more or less ruined his career. Never seen Trotzy as mad as he was that night. I've always hated the Canucks for that and the playoff series.

 

[Softball99]

Anybody want to go tonight. I have 3 Handicap (folding chairs) in 333. Got an appraisal this evening.

Someone in the Nucks GDT posted a video as a fond memory....

Would you expect less from that fan base ?

Would you expect less from that fan base ?

Dude who posted it said "LOL" and "good times in Nashville" while acknowledging it ended Dumont's career. Nobody was surprised when they tried to burn their own city down. Worst, trashiest fanbase in sports. Hope they stay in the hockey gutter forever.

You’re not the only one...

 

[Marty Party]

I just learned that Van's coach sucks too.

 

[Mass]

Carrier getting……. carried away again. He does that a lot it seems.

 

[Legionnaire11]

JOHANSEN!!!

Josephus!

 

[bdub24]

What a damn corner pick!

 

[Legionnaire11]

There wasn't even a Vancouver defender within their blue line before that puck went in the net, just Boeser trailing Joey

 

[Legionnaire11]

SCORESBERG!!!

 

[Predsanddead24]

I love that Joey has embraced his shot again. Halfway through the season and already reached his typical goal total.

Tipsberg!
