Excited to see what a tired, cramping Miller can do in this one.

Markstrom starting as per 1040.

 

[EpochLink]

Markstrom is starting

 

[M2Beezy]

So losing interest and fast in this team are only hope is tampa id playing pretty bad hockey too. Gotta hope for a full tank or make some positive trades. I think 4-2 loss with bartchi and vrbata with the goals

[Serac]

Let's get McCann a hat trick so he can solidify himself as the new 1C

 

[Baby Pettersson]

^ Garrisson looks eerily similar to Santa Claus in your profile pic...

He gon' get lit up! But can't wait to see it, lol.

Henrik back as well?

Unless Henrik is 100 percent, they'd be crazy to play him imo.....guy would get an extra four days rest to recover and be available on Boxing Day....last game of a six-gamer is virtually a guaranteed loss night.....Markstrom will have to reprise his game against the Kings if the 'Nucks are to have any hope in this one.

Looks more like Seth Rollins to me...

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

 

[NoShowWilly]

split the sedins for the game. lets see what happens.

 

[mathonwy]

Split the Sedins up permanently.

Stop putting the entire scoring burden on those two guys. It's just not right.

 

[VanJack]

I'd say there's a better chance of Pedan getting into the lineup sometime soon in place of Edler, than Willie splitting up the twins......I know AV tried it a few times to get them out of a slump they were in, but the likelihood of this coach following that strategy is less than nil.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Tampa sucks this season, it's not gonna be easy to lose.

 

[DL44]

I can feel it starting to turn...

Embrace it...

 

[VanillaCoke]

4-1 good guys

 

[Peen]

Without Henrik in the lineup we are literally dog **** and are bound to get clobbered soon

Detroit was a lucky ass game

Henrik isn't long term..
In the meanwhile... Goals are finally coming from other sources after a ridiculous absence.

Now if the PK can man up... The wins will come. I think they will here soon.

And I thought the Det gm was an unlucky game to not run away with earlier... Depends on your perspective I guess.

This is the best I can find:

 

[Huggy]

Henrik gets injured

Horvat Markstrom Hutton all step up

The tank is counter tanked by superior Gillis drafting in his last year

Mike Gillis not only loses the Canucks the cup, but prevents any top 5 overall picks with the greatest Vancouver Canuck ever drafted Bo Horvat

 

[mathonwy]

Palat is out. Johnson is out. Brown is out. Boyle is out. Gourde? is out.

So the bolts are missing two top 6 forwards, 2/3rds of their checking line and whoever Gourde is.

So with the bolts getting minimal offense from their blue line this season, your Vancouver Canucks have a decent chance at 2 points tomorrow.

Watch out for that Namestnikov kid. He's tricky.

IMHO, a bigger *IF* is if Miller's aging body will hold up. Wins ain't going to come if it doesn't regards if goals come from other sources given the state of the blueline.
