Pre-Game Talk: Hawks @ Canucks - 02.01.13 - CT

[UsernameWasTaken]

can one of the mods edit the title - I meant to say "- 8:00 pm CT" not just " - CT".

I'll have to be home for this one...the GDT will be entertaining b/c Canuck fans usually come here to troll during the game.

Just don't want Keith to get in a scrum where he ends up with a fighting major or a 10 minute misconduct because he ends up getting in a slap fight with Burrows or Lapierre.

I think Keith is smart enough to avoid this. If it were Seabrook, probably wouldn't feel that way, but not too worried about Keith doing that.

Schneider said its just adversity. Coach didn't tell him he wasn't starting, figured it out when didn't hear anything. #canucks

^^ nice coach

Just let him get in a slap fight and be done with it. That way it's over with and all the "he has to answer the bell for the hit" stuff is over with and it's done.

Nothing would satisfy me more than having our top PP line out there in the 3rd of a 7-0 game like two years ago.

 

[Bring Back GLR]

Luongo has already took over his #1 spot in vancouver It looks like.

Luongo plays 3 games in a row, nuts.

Sounds good can we have Schneider then. We can be the two Corey's,

 

[RayP]

Guess I just forgot then, Illini...

 

[Illinihockey]

Kassian is a tough kid but Milan Lucic he is not. Clowe hammered him and despite busting Eager open, Eager had the upper hand in their fight when Kassian was driven to the ice.

AHHA AMAZING

Over/under on the amount of time it takes for a Nucks player to take a run on Keith - one minute

First time Crawford covers the puck its going to happen. They'll crowd him and then the defense will come over and it'll start.

The real action starts once the refs get in between the players. Canucks MO.

I'm interested to see Bolland take on the Sedins with Kassian there too.

Doubt they try to match him up on them since he's on the 2nd line. We'll see if Shaw can bait Kassian into something though.

 

[BBSeabs27]

so excited for this game. only thing thats gonna get me through work tomorrow. Anybody takes a run at Keith you can bet Seabrook will make sure they pay. If you **** with DK, Seabs is right there to tear your face off. Quite interesting how close they are. All the better for us.

It will be interesting to see what Seabrook does in this game. Although he doesn't fight a ton, he can hold his own against anyone the Canucks have.

 

[Blue Liner]

Seabrook is tough. Period. Doesn't fight a lot because they don't want him to and it's not his game but he can hold his own and then some.

Right. Which is why I'm not worried about Keith getting isolated out there with a guy like Kassian or Volpatti (even though he sucks at fighting)

 

[ColdSteel2]

That's true, but I definitely wouldn't do that. They are top heavy with their injuries. Change the lines for this game or let them go toe to toe with the second line. Preferably I would just put Bolland back on the third line for this game and let him play his usual role against the Canucks.

+1. My thoughts exactly. Interesting seeing how Canucks fans view this game differs from ours. They care more about revenge on Keith than winning. I mean...I wanna win so that's fine with me.

 

[chicagoskycam]

If the Canucks are as concerned about getting revenge as the fans are, it will be a solid win for the Hawks. Bring it.

I don't see any reason to change what's been working due to the opponent. Over-thinking like that is what loses teams games. Stick to the plan and play your game, not theirs.
