GDT: Game 19: Coyotes @ Canucks | 2-26-13 | 8PM MST

[ClassLessCoyote]

WELCOME TO VANCOVER BRITISH COLUMBIA; THE THIRD MOST LIVABLE CITY IN THE WORLD

Vancouver is home to where the whales swim freely

The climate is ideal

And one of a small handful of cities to host the Olympics

But if there is one word to describe this amazing city; that word would be:

SUCCESSFUL



WITH THE HELP OF THE LARGEST TRADING PARTNER OF CANADA(THE USA) BEING SUCCESSFUL FOR VANCOUVER KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES WHETHER IT'S:

Buying homes in Arizona for cheap to go with the overpriced condos overlooking English Bay in Vancouver or

Making it in Hollywood



But for one successful native of Vancouver, the ability to win and skate with the Stanley Cup in his own hometown.

Great GDT. We miss the Howler Monkey. One of our best forwards during the Cup run not named Sedin or Kesler.

Cheers.

 

[Mosby]

Hopefully we get a few of our injured bodies back tonight.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Two points tonight would salvage this rough trip and build some critically needed momentum. Big game? Just a bit.....

 

[Nuckles]

The Canucks lines for today's game are

Daniel Sedin - Henrik Sedin - Alex Burrows
Chris Higgins - Ryan Kesler - Jannik Hansen
Mason Raymond - Jordan Schroeder - David Booth
Dale Weise - Max Lapierre - Zack Kassian

Jason Garrison - Alex Edler
Dan Hamhuis - Chris Tanev
Andrew Alberts - Keith Ballard

Cory Schneider

I like this GDT.

 

[Vip]

Can we get a W please

 

[Howler Scores]

"@ToddWalsh: #coyotes on ice in Vancouver. Looks like Morris is in. No sign of Vrbata or Hanzal. Tippett audio up soon. http://t.co/ZviwiFKxuc"

 

[Vinny Boombatz]

Getting your 2nd best defender back is going to be huge. It gets Yandle back pairing w/DeMo and then let's one of the young guys get Klesla, hopefully Stone as he is well ahead of Summers.

 

[Mosby]

Sarah McLellan ‏@azc_mclellan
Questionable turns into no-go “@ToddWalsh: #Coyotes HC Dave Tippett now says no Vrbata, Hanzal, Morris or Schlemko vs #canucks tonight.”

 

[Howler Scores]

Well there goes that hope in having one of them back.

 

[Plub]

Welp, we are going to get our ass kicked. These injuries are really starting to piss me off. I say this with full ignorance about the severity of these injuries, but these guys need to get their ***** on the ice before this season slips away. Another movie night.

 

[zz]

Never underestimate the power of Smith and Chipchurra I guess... how's that for positive thinking?

Doan's contract now actually makes me want to cry. I'm not even pissed off. I just can't stand watching such a great guy, someone I've cheered for for so long, become yet another laughing stock with a bloated contract. It's just so sad.

 

[_Del_]

The only reason for hope with Doan is that he's always been a slow starter. Or age has caught up with him and he's an ideal fourth liner with Chip. There's still some hope though.

If Doan is going to a breakout game tonight would be a good time.

 

[Howler Scores]

Pre game is about to start. ..can the AHL team beat Vancouver? Sure why not.

 

[Howler Scores]

Summers is the out man tonight.

 

[Vip]

Will be tuning in for the 2nd period most likely.

I just have a good feeling about this game.

 

[KG]

I sadly do not receive FSA+, anybody with a working stream?

Up 1 from Chip!

 

[SweYote]

That's a three game point streak for Bissonnette. Is this real life?

Up 1 from Chip!

Thanks <3

And Chipchura is clutch lately. Who would have thunk it

 

[Vip]

our 4th line is clutch lately

 

[Scottyb123]

Love Chipper. He getting confident with those hands.

 

[CC96]

That was a sick goal by Chip!
