Post-Game Talk: Brandon Sutter; a better goal scorer than Vrbata || Canucks lose 4-3

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

They had to get Sven out of there, the guy looks completely lost. Such a shame.

 

[LiveeviL]

A win! Measly 12 USD on this one, morale victory at the bookie...

 

[Grifter3511]

But miller was on the st louis chokers. And bad buffalo

If they were making the playoffs they weren't that bad.

Also, that Briere/Drury era Sabres was pretty damn good for a little while. Conference finalists two years in a row.

Aren't the lines what they had for practice yesterday? They had an optional skate today so unless they're going to make last-minute changes, I think the practice lines are pretty set to start.

Sedin - Sedin - Sutter
Prust - Horvat - Vrbata
Burrows - McCann - Hansen
Dorsett - Cracknell - Virtanen

Edler - Tanev
Hamhuis - Bartkowski
Hutton - Sbisa

Miller
Bachman

Yup, those are the projected lines. I don't get too caught up in 2nd or 4th line anymore since WD rolls all 4 lines at 5v5. It's the combinations that people should care about. I don't understand Prust on Horvat/Vrbata line since that line needed a speedy winger was is good on the forecheck and Prust is the slowest forward on the team. Would much rather have Burrows or Virtanen out there with those 2.

Sutter with the Sedins will have to end soon, the Sedins will make any decent player look dangerous but I really don't see Sutter making them look better like Burrows and Vrbata have in the past.

Is confirmed if so good news!

It's agains St. Louis so it's a automatically W.....right????

Automatic 2 goals for Steen.

 

[Nucker101]

Automatic 2 goals for Steen.

Don't think it's by accident that he plays well against the Canucks. He seems to hate them. He's always more feisty compared to his games against other teams.

These guys looks really cartoonish, what with the neck-to-head ratio and symmetrically coiffed hair and all. Even Cracknell kind of looks like a drawing too.

 

[JuniorNelson]

I think Desjardins is being coy about his line-up. Prust moving up is a prank.

 

[Nucker101]

Colton Parayko is apparently their version of Ben Hutton. Interested to watch him tonight.

WD almost always tips his hand when there's a full practice in between games because he prefers to roll with that same lineup.

Prust on the 2nd line ... This is a ****ing joke right?

It's so Vrbata can protect him in a fight

He got walked big time by Taylor hall last night

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Gomez is in for us tonight. Who's coming out we're not sure of yet. Lines will probably be something like
Stern-Stastny-Tarasenko
Schwartz-Lehtera-Brouwer
Jaskin-Backes-Upshall
And three out of Ott/Gomez/Brodziak/Reaves

 

[Peen]

Wasn't tarasenko good with lehtera?

is backes going to RW at any time?

That's more like our Willie D.

 

[Mofletz]

Prust - Horvat - Vrbata




Horvat needs not 1 anchor, but 2!!!!

 

[kanucks25]

At least that 3rd line is back together

Prust - Horvat - Vrbata




Horvat needs not 1 anchor, but 2!!!!

Vrbata is an anchor?

 

[Vladys Gumption]

He was very good with Lehtera but Jori faded down the stretch. It's pretty much a consensus on our board that it was a conditioning issue. Making the jump from the KHL to the NHL is a large on.

Management pretty much came out and admitted that they misused Stastny last year and that they were not going to repeat that mistake. So he's been with Steen and Tarasenko all season. They've been utterly dominant so there's really reason to break them up.

Lehtera has had a revolving door so far on his right with with injuries (Fabbri, Jaskin and Brouwer) but he's been excellent. He's been between Schwartz and Brouwer the past two games and looked great in the process.

I don't see moving back to the wing. He's simply too effective as a two way center man.

Vrbata is an anchor?

Four games without a goal.
He's washed up.

Yup, the only thing he does is float around and take shots from abysmal angles. He is trying to stack his shot totals.
