GDT: Canucks 3 @ Broons 6 | 19th Oct

[StrictlyCommercial]

the first goalie to go in practice is usually the starter. i don't know why he differentiates between "on the ice" and in "net".

Usually first guy off the ice is the starter. Either guy could be on first for reps.

I will join the crowd ... what the hell does "defend twice" possibly mean?

I know it's funny that a non native English speaker tries to gave an interpretation but is it possibile that twice is used to say for the second time in the season?

 

[Ozone]

Destroy the hairy Bears of Boston!
Same Vancouver lineup apparently.
3-1 Nuckies.

 

[valkynax]

Keep giving BB powerplay time.

Seems that Rask was injured in a practice or something

I knew Downie was a Bruins fan but had no idea he was Harry Sindens God-son.
He's probably just sitting in purgatory right now waiting for one more Bruins win before he meets up with Mr. Lahey for a drink. Oh well, may as well make it tonight.

 

[Toxic0n]

Taking my Tank hat off for this one. I don't care if this game makes us miss out on the 1st overall, just beat dem Ruins

 

[m9]

I took it as he was in the net that he will be defending in the 1st and 3rd periods.

Don't get the relevance, unless they have the starting goalie in the net they defend twice for practice to get them used to it.

 

[xtra]

I am team tank all the way except when we face the bruins. The only team I'm cheering. For the canucks to beat

 

[Addison Rae]

Win or lose I don't care, let's see Brock and Bo get some points.

Pretty much my mindset for every game this year. Player development should be the most important aspect of the season for this team.

Bawwwwwston

 

[WTG]

Canucks are too whicked smahrwt for Bawston to beat us
We will make them into clam cowder​

 

[MadaCanuckle]

I'm with you on this. I'm hoping for a big loss, though like MS I too have a feeling we'll probably end up winning this. Boston hasn't looked good to start the season, and with Bergeron out it's not looking too good.

That's what things have become...I hate current management so much that I'll even cheer for Boston.

I am full on cheering for team tank but there are some teams that I simply hate to lose: Brooins, Maple Things, Orange hot things and those bastards with a lot of number 1 picks. 10/15 wins and 65/70 losses stills counts. You don't need to lose all games, just the vast majority.

 

[Oddity]

Rask out with a concussion.

Now the hard part.... scoring on a backup goalie.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Usually first guy off the ice is the starter. Either guy could be on first for reps.

on reflection i agree. looking at it again, he seems to be saying that nillson is the first goalie one the ice and was defending the canucks' home end in practice (e.g., where the canuck goalie will be in net for two periods). maybe it was just to tell us that useless piece of info, or maybe that's where the canucks put their starter in practice on the road so they learn the boards?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Ugh, Anton Khudobin. I remember that horrifyingly awful shutout he posted against us when he played for Minnesota. I maintain that was the worst shutout performance ever by a goaltender. The Canucks couldn't have scored on a five year old that day.

There was an extended sequence where Khudobin blew a tire and bailed in the corner. He was not in his net for about 35 seconds (he couldn't get up), and the Canucks had control of the puck that whole time. With an empty net to shoot at. And we couldn't get one damned puck on that net.

Still have PTSD from that game.

 

[VanJack]

Bruins are banged up....Bergeron and Backes questionable; Rask on the shelf; and team coming off an ugly game in Vegas....Canucks usually play well in the second-third games of a give-game roadie....But I'm sensing maybe an OT game.

HF's Sportsbook game odds for tonight

[Paulinvancouver]

6-2 Vancouver. Playoffs, baby!! Wooot!

It took me a while to figure out as well, but I believe what the quote is saying is that Nilsson was the first goalie on the ice in practice and he was in the net that the away (Canucks) team will defend for the 1st and 3rd periods tonight. He was assuming that these are indicators that Nilsson is starting, which he is. Hope that helps.

I think the answer is simply that Patterson had a few too many brewskies in beantown and hadn't drunk his morning covfefe yet.

Haha I swear you've posted about this at least 20 times.

Bet they wish they didnt put Subbans brother on Wavers

I am thinking it is either boards or (if it were me) could be lighting/board advertising, as that can mess with a goalie.

You know why I’m here




For that boeser goal
