GDT: 11/19/13, 10PM EST "Pumping Tires" - Panthers VS Canucks

[PanthersHockey1]

i have counted three goals that flash has failed on so far.

 

[difcog]

BTW, how is it possible for Hawks to be down by four to Avs? Final period left

 

[ProjectPanthers]

Love seeing Barkov in a playmaking position on the PP.

Agreed. Would love to see him shoot more from there. Guy has a deceptively hard and accurate shot.

 

[Chino Oscar]

It seems like Vancouver fans are stuck watching the Fox Florida feed, haha

Let's see you out there.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Team is noticably physical tonight. Everyone is getting their bodies involved.

 

[hockeydude1]

Great start. That's how you start well on the road. Still have 40 mins left.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

thats as solid a road period youll ever seen played in the nhl.

 

[PanthersHockey1]

Let's see you out there.

Lets see gaborik out there...

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Anyone think vinny should be called up and move flash?

Ya I've been saying that for a little while now.

 

[hockeydude1]

Lets see gaborik out there...

I'm down. What are we gonna lose for him? 1st rounder + players?

 

[RainingRats]

Trading Flash would be silly. He's a legitimate top 6 forward. We need his offense. Let VT continue his stellar development. He'll get his opportunity to play some NHL games soon enough.

 

[EnforceTheLaus]

Rather Vinny ride his hot hand in SA for as long as possible. Let him get that confidence.

Agreed.

It wouldn't be silly if the return was right and I just want to see 8 games from VT this year to see what he can do. I agree to let him play most of the year down in SA though.

Agreed, only way I'd like us to deal Flash right now is if we got another top 6 W who is younger in the 23-25 age range.

 

[Drugs Delaney]

Confident looking team all of a sudden. Good coaching change.

 

[RainingRats]

Why 8 games?

his name is.......Wayne.....Simmonds

Why 8 games?

Isn't 8 the cutoff before the first year is burnt on the ELC? Or is it 9?

 

[JA]

Booth on the 4th line? Santorelli on the 2nd? What the hell is going on over there?

If you haven't seen David Booth tonight, it's because he's not on the ice.

David Booth will be a healthy scratch tonight as the Canucks face the Panthers, Booth's former team. According to the Vancouver Sun, Booth is having skating issues after suffering groin and ankle injuries.

"My explosiveness isn't where it was in the past. That extra step, that's really the strength in my game. Without a doubt I can get it back. I've had other leg injuries and it comes back with time. It's just been a little bit longer this time than in the past.

"Obviously I would have really liked to play tonight. It's a game that I was looking forward to at the start of the year. It shows that you can look forward to things and then things happen."

This is the second time this season Booth has been a healthy scratch. Booth has 1 goal and 2 assists in 13 games this season, and 2 goals and 4 assists in his last 25 games, and 3 goals and 5 assists in his last 41 games played. You have to wonder if his tenure here is almost over, even though that $4.25 million is an ALBATROSS.

The Sun also mentioned that the lines in practice today were:

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows

Higgins - Santorelli - Kesler (like it)

Hansen - Richardson - Kassian

Weise - Welsh - Sestito

Pretty sure he's using his first year of his ELC because he's playing pro in the AHL.

He is playing pro hockey. He uses that year as a pro.






Watching that Uppy interview you can see how much his confidence had grown.

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Our top 2 centers playing the way they are, is really helping the cause..

 

[Ghoste]

his name is.......Wayne.....Simmonds

I would like to have Simmonds but Philly has picked up their play and it seems more likely they sit tight rather than moving guys.
