Getting Drysdale and McTavish back is significant for the team's performance but getting Zegras back will be significant for my enjoyment, and that's what really matters
I mean we need everyone back, or mostly everyone. I would feel better about tonight and Sat, if we can get at least one of Z or Mac back, along with Drysdale.
In the words of Meatloaf, 2 out of 3 ain't bad, lol.
they couldn't decide so now our PP1 is Fowler, Mintyukov, Drysdale, LaCombe, and SilfverbergDo we know whether it's fowler or mint or dry on pp1?
If we’re doing 2 dmen on pp1 I’d like to seeDo we know whether it's fowler or mint or dry on pp1?
Welcome to Anaheim! I park down the street at Noble Ale Works, it's a little bit of a walk but free parking, it's Anaheim so the weather isn't bad, and there's places to get drinks either there or at the restaurant on the way to the stadium. I also like parking away from the stadium because getting out of the lot is so much easier. There's also $5 parking on or just off Katella if you want to park a little closer.Hey folks, out of towner (Canucks fan who hates Calgary and counts the ducks as a favourite among divisional opponents) who will be coming to see your team hopefully pistol whip the Flames.
Wondered if there are any tips you fine folks have around parking,or anything I should prioritize at the rink that my gf might enjoy?
I’m a lifelong hockey fan but she is quite new to the sport.
Really looking forward to seeing Carlson and Mintyukov in person for the first time.
Also mctavish. I was hoping not to draft him when I read his profile but I was wrong. Reminds me a bit of Bertuzzi out there sometimes and I say this as someone who doesn’t just compare every player to a former Canuck.

There’s lots for $5-10 on Katella, both in between the movie theater plaza and the arena, and then past the arena and the freeway, not too bad of a walk at all, would recommend one of thoseHey folks, out of towner (Canucks fan who hates Calgary and counts the ducks as a favourite among divisional opponents) who will be coming to see your team hopefully pistol whip the Flames.

I live in Lancaster, Anaheim at its worst is here at its bestWhile this is true most of the time, there is an 80% chance of rain when the game gets out tonight
As long as Zegras comes roaring out of the gate, I personally don't mind if he takes a bit more time.Wouldn't shock me if we don't see Zegras until after the new year
What I was seeing on lineup sites was Minty-Strome.Do we know whether it's fowler or mint or dry on pp1?

My first early vision of Mason was a bigger Dino Ciccarelli, but I'll settle for a smaller big Bert. tho.Hey folks, out of towner (Canucks fan who hates Calgary and counts the ducks as a favourite among divisional opponents) who will be coming to see your team hopefully pistol whip the Flames.

I'm assuming this guy is from Vancouver so the little pissy drizzle that will happen likely won't bother him much. The guy is probably going to show up in shorts.While this is true most of the time, there is an 80% chance of rain when the game gets out tonight
I won’t believe it until I see them on the ice after puck dropUpdated lines with Drysdale and McTavish probable.

Seeing isn’t Believing, Believing is seeing.
danny k's sports bar is a 10 or so minute walk from the arena. you can park in their lot for free and walk over to the game. if their lot is full, there's always parking on main street right there too (also free) danny k's is a great spot for some pre-game food and drinksHey folks, out of towner (Canucks fan who hates Calgary and counts the ducks as a favourite among divisional opponents) who will be coming to see your team hopefully pistol whip the Flames.

That first card you're citing still shows LaCombe's performance as almost entirely negative, in contrast to Gudas. Meanwhile, here's the card from Vaaks' one full game on the top pairing with Fowler, which looks better than that and also better than most of LaCombe's performances with Fowler. (For that matter, he did better than LaCombe with Gudas in this game.)LaCombe has more upside than Vaak and is three years younger. Defensively, the coaching staff prefers LaCombe over Vaak, which is why Vaak got replaced from the top line with LaCombe. Also, people are forgetting LaCombe is a staple on the PK unit.
Many are enamored with Vaak-Gudas, but not realizing Vaak is in a sheltered role. Here are LaCombe's last two games playing with Gudas (Luneau was playing top-pairing with Fowler), Game 25 vs the Avs and Game 26 vs the Blackhawks:
Gm 25

Gm 26

I don't think many are giving LaCombe enough credit for playing up at the top-line as a rookie and disregard what he can do as a pairing with Gudas.
