[Huggy]

This could be the season the next few games.

Beat Calgary
Beat Minnesota

8 points in 5 days

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Just win, baby. Crucial time of the year to go on a hot streak!

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

Big one tomorrow night against the flames. Feels weird to say that.

retro early 90s throwback

fleury's going to run diduck really late on the forecheck and then diduck's going to pause for a second, ask himself "am i really going to have to punch this little guy in the face?", and then punch him in the face. good times.

 

[VanillaCoke]

As long as horvat or kassian score im happy.

Yep, we are hitting the homes stretch of games now. Let's separate ourselves from the pack! I don't wanna be all nervous for games in April. Well, I do, but later on in April.

 

[Canuck16]

We shouldn't be concerned about playing 3 in 4 days and having enough in the tank... The Canucks have been rolling 4 lines consistently lately.
This is a huge game. The Flames are a rivalry and I wouldn't expect anykind of let down effort here.

The Canucks are a good road team. Go Canucks GO.

Been a while since these two teams played a game with somewhat importance

3 games in a row vs teams that I consider must wins for personal reasons. This game is even more important because of the divisional/playoff implications... wait, we're playing the Flames and there are huge playoff implications? Well it's about damn time...

 

[VC]

Guessing same lineup other than Lack for Miller

D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Burrows
Higgins - Vey - Vrbata
Dorsett - Matthais - Kassian
Kennis - Horvat - Hansen

Edler - Tanev
Hamhuis - Sbisa
Stanton - Clendening

Lack

I love it. Now if Edmonton would get their act together we can hate each other with an intense fiery passion like the early 90s. Anyways should be a great game, Flames are such a hardworking team. We need to break down their barriers tonight. Finish our chances. And please, let the PP not suck.

As a Canucks fan in Calgary it's a lot more fun when Flames fans aren't depressed lol.

All of our lines looked good last night, I'll be very upset if WD puts McMillan in for... well anyone.

 

[TL12]

Going to be out, won't have time to watch this game.

Another guaranteed win.

#Canucks: Hearing that newly acquired Brandon McMIllan may get in tonight. Not sure who comes out. Tough call after good win over Boston.

I would say dumb move, but the way benning has been bringing players in, I could see him potting a goal tonight.

You just know its gonna be kenins or kassian tho. Or maybe they go with an extra forward?

 

[Craz1bo1]

Edit: ^ beaten to the punch

McMIllan in....Kassian out.

 

[Canucks LB]

Not gonna lie, it would be pretty dumb to remove kassian now. And kenins has been excellent, why would you sit him also.

I see no good reason to bring McMillan in for this game

 

[NoShowWilly]

5 game point streak, you can sit.

EDIT: i don't see it. Possibly play him at center and sit Vey? It'll probably be Kenins sadly.

 

[Bad News Benning]

nobody deserves to come out. McMillian is a journeyman forward so it's not like he has some upside to discover. He's basically a warm body to fill in for injuries so unless a forward is banged up I see no reason for him to play.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Hansen should be moved out if McMillan is coming in. I don't agree with Kassian being scratched.

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
Higgins - Vey - Vrbata
Kenins - Matthias - Kassian
McMillan - Horvat - Dorsett

 

[ProstheticConscience]

See no sensible reason why anyone should be taken out of the lineup after last night. Play the "bottom 6" more, WD.

And please murder the Flames.

 

[Pip]

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
Higgins - Vey - Vrbata
Kenins - Matthias - Kassian
McMillan - Horvat - Dorsett

Ummm, Hansen should not be moved out, it should be Dorsett if we need to bump someone out. Better yet, keep the lineup as is.

 

[Evolu7ion]

I hope Higgins comes out for a game or two to give him a wake up call.

Also wouldn't be surprised to see Miller get the start - time to get him on a roll.
