[2011 still hurts]

for some reason I'm expecting an offensive bore of a game, we probably win 2-1 (tie it on a late Tanev goal) after a lengthy shootout or something

hopefully boeser gets a hatty though

 

[Braeden]

I am expecting a blow-out. Lightning put up 7 against the Flames the other night. I'll say 6-2 Lightning, Kucherov with the hat trick.

 

[Josepho]

I just have so much respect for the Lightning.

 

[Josepho]

and apparently im going to this one

[M2Beezy]

[M2Beezy]

Anyways 6-3 Lightening all our goals scored by Baertchi Stechy and Vanek

The amount of people that bitch about Del Zotto not getting scratched should turn their attention to Pouliot getting played over Hutton

Such trash.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

The Canucks are a much better team with Horvat in it, and they could always surprise you, but this game has blowout written all over it unless the Canucks can find a way to have Tanev/Edler/Stecher on the ice all game long and never let Pouliot/Gudbranson/Del Zotto off the bench.

The amount of people that ***** about Del Zotto not getting scratched should turn their attention to Pouliot getting played over Hutton

Such trash.

It's absolutely absurd.

Pouliot is just junk. An abysmal player. The experiment with him has failed and to continue propping up this acquisition to make management look good while scratching better players is a joke.

Biega being scratched is just as bad.

Should be a good game..I think the Canucks will be up for it (they usually are for the good teams,and play like shite for the teams at their level or below).....although Tampa has so many weapons offensively,they will more than likely come out on top.

I'm guessing Green wants Pouliot in the lineup to get more offence from the backend..He was good when we first acquired him,but his game absolutely cratered when all the injuries hit...Obviously,they're trying to get his game back to where it was pre injury.

Tonights game will be a good measuring stick of how far the team needs to go.

 

[Jannik Hansen]

That 4th pairing is much better than the 3rd pairing, and we didn’t have to trade any assets for them. I wonder what this team would be like if we traded what we did for Pouliot and Guddy, for an actual NHL D.

 

[MS]

Pouliot's recent play has actually seen him go at a pace that could take a run at one of the NHL's must unattainable records if he kept it up for a full season.

Bill Mikkelsson was an incredible -82 for the 1974-75 Washington Capitals, a mark that nobody has ever come close to since. In his last 17 games, Pouliot is a -19, which would project to a -91 over a full season.

Historic! What a time to be a Canuck fan.

 

[yvrtojfk]

5-4 Canucks win in a thriller.

 

[VanJack]

Green must see something in that Pouliot-Gudbranson pairing not visible to the naked eye.....and Del Zotto gets sheltered by playing with the Canucks best d-man in Tanev.....it's a blueline held together by paper clips and duct tape....and as far as Hutton is concerned I'm really beginning to think he might be on a new team after the trade deadline..... either that, or maybe it's Del Zotto they're continuing to be showcased for a potential deal....who knows?

 

[Peen]

I don't get how Hutton can go from leading this team in ice time when Tanev was out and we were winning to not getting into the lineup when we lose and Pouliot is playing at a minor league level..

 

[brokenhole]

It's absolutely absurd.

Pouliot is just junk. An abysmal player. The experiment with him has failed and to continue propping up this acquisition to make management look good while scratching better players is a joke.

Linden Pouliot-Vey.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Well, even though top teams have been sucking against us recently, TB is still going to take this, easily...

5-2

Sutter and Virtanen

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

7 - 1 Bolts.

Edler unassisted.

Just going to be one of those nights.

 

[Kryten]

6-2 TBL. Boeser and Daniel

 

[Johnny Canucker]

6-2 TBL. Boeser and Daniel

You’re assuming then, that we get at least 2 Power Plays.

 

[Pip]

Gaunce with all of the goals
