Post-Game Talk: Canucks 1, Blue Jackets 0: Lappy saves the day as Columbus sails away to the East

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Pardon my ignorance, interested fantasy owner here but is Schneider getting the start for sure tonight?

I would think so. He has been on a roll lately, so I don't think AV messes with that

 

[Bleach Clean]

The Canucks need to put away some points here during the next 10 games. Lock down that 3rd seed. MIN is giving them a run this year. Need to make hay while they can.

Yes he has! Thanks for the reply, Hawks fan here but Schneider is on my fantasy team so GO NUCKS!

 

[Taelin]

30-1 Canucks. All 30 goals are on the PP and our PP% sky-rockets.

 

[Nuckles]

A win would be nice.
So would a good PP and a 3rd line center.

 

[ddawg1950]

Columbus has been playing well, but they are a different team on the road.

Not a time to take the foot off the gas peddle boys.

Git er done.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Good chance we see Schneider in net tonight?

30-1 Canucks. All 30 goals are on the PP and our PP% sky-rockets.

All 30 goals coming on a 5 minute PP?

I'm not sure what kind of road team the CBJ are at the moment. Was the point streak a bit of a mirage since almost every one of those games was at home?

Thus far in March, the CBJ are 8-1-2 with the 2 being overtime loses to Chicago (one at home, one on the road) and the loss being at Nashville (3 days ago). Only 3 of those games were away (Chi, Det, Nsh 1-1-1).

Have they just put things together, leading to the streak? Was it just because they were at home and they still suck on the road? I don't know.

for updates such as line-ups as the day goes on.

 

[Fairweather]

Don't first home games after a road tend to be let-downs? Hopefully the Canucks will play smart since the roster is still depleted.

Keith Ballard wearing forward's jersey at morning skate with Edler back in. Nice option for thin #canucks lineup vs CBJ.

KB4Ward!!!!

He has looked good in that role...maybe he isn't so useless afterall?

At least now that we've got him away from Rick Bowness maybe he can settle down a play a good game.

Skating before the team means they arent playing tonight.
