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

AV"s pre game speech:

I've... got things... to say

Keith your on the wing, due to injuries

But I've... got to... be me

I'll bench you in the third, if you score less than three

Henriks our Captain, so climb aboard

We'll search for that W, but we'll need to score

Lou don't cry, Schneider's the guy..... to caaaaaaaaaaary us





Yep, bored.

Work until 7:30, I'll miss the 1st.

Something (from CanucksArmy) to keep an eye on this evening:


Expect to see a ton of Fedor Tyutin and Jack Johnson in this one, as they'll surely get the assignment of trying to slow the Sedins down. If you'll recall, the last time these two teams played in Columbus, Tyutin really pushed the envelope in terms of seeing what he could do to Henrik Sedin without being whistled for an infraction. Apparently, the answer was "a lot".

Did this launch anyone else into an epic air drum and mouth guitar solo?

A gathering of arena staff appeared above my head
Sang to me this song of hope...and this is what THEY SAID
they said "come with me sir you're drunk".

 

[Pip]

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

 

[mossey3535]

I hope we don't revert to type and play down to our opponent as usual. Go Nucks!

 

[Ozone]

Lineup confirmation:


@SNETPacific: #Canucks lines against Columbus - 22-33-20, 21-45-36, 4-25-14, 29-40-44, 2-5, 23-3, 41-8 and Schneider in goal.

 

[Royal Canuck]

And for my prediction:

4
Burrows
Garrison (PP)
D.Sedin
Schroeder

2
Umberger
Johansen

- The Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen line has been on fire, I expect them to play excellent against a rather weak defensive team in Columbus.
- I feel the Blue Jackets' young guns will have a good game despite Johansen being the only one to score a goal.
- Our PP struggles for the most of the game, but we capitalize on a mistake made by Columbus' PK team.
- Sedins have a few good shifts, but aren't seen for the 3rd period after Daniel scores one off a nice feed from Henrik.

You could do a lot worse than play like the Blue Jackets these days!

 

[PG Canuck]

Our lineup isn't looking to strong right now, so CBJ shouldn't downplay us.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Who are only 2 points out of a playoff spot and smelling blood.

Plus I think they might be in our heads a little.

Agreed... Tyutin was draped all over Henrik for most of that game... We get a call this time?

 

[megajake]

Ballard playing forward? Saywhat

 

[Pip]

Ballard playing forward? Saywhat

Nice.

But, as with many songs, it needs more cowbell.

Wonder if ray ferraro still thinks garrison a bust

That team was ****ing amazing! COME BACK 2011 CANUCKS

Ugh just depressing. That's what having a deep team looks like.

That team was ****ing amazing! COME BACK 2011 CANUCKS

That was a once in a lifetime team, I remember telling myself to enjoy that year because I just knew it wasn't going to happen again, at least with this group. It's a shame though, instead of recognizing what a special year that was, people unfairly compare the last two season's teams to that one, as if that season was the norm. It's an unfair comparison in my opinion, this is a different team and a different NHL.

 

[canuck4life16]

sorry but 2013 canucks can just be as good as 2011

Garrsion---->Erhoff
Higgin=Torres
Schroeder vs Maholtra

Malhotra was so far above Schroeder's level before his eye injury. He was the perfect 3rd line centre for this team. I still get mad at that bad bounce.

It's not as simple as just comparing the rosters. Other teams have improved, the officiating standard has changed, players have suffered injuries, etc.

2010-2011 was the perfect storm... until the finals.

Garrison and Ehrhoff are completely different players anyway, bizarre comparison.

What about 100+ pt Sedin's and 40 goal Kesler? Those days are gone.
