Post-Game Talk: Canucks 3, Avalanche 2; Shane O'Brien unable to find the cure for Roxy flu

[Derp Kassian]

Schedule loss imo. A point would be great.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

A little surprised Schneider's in again. He played outstanding last night, but he said himself that it was one of the most difficult games he's played in a while, so he could be low on energy in this one.

 

[EpochLink]

Schneiderman is hot, ride the man

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

AV usually splits back to backs with one exception - if one of the goalies has a shutout in the first game. So Schneider starting again doesn't surprise me.

Hope the team can play another prototypical road game and eek one out.

I said earlier this year that whenever a goalie gets a shutout he should start the next game no matter what, and nothing has changed to make me want to deviate from that plan. Playing the worst team in the west could also allow Schneider to get a mini shutout streak going too.

 

[TruGr1t]

If it was any team other than the Avs I'd say we should be happy with a point, but they are terrible so I'm saying victory or bust. Hopefully we get more than 13 shots.

Fun facts:

•The Canucks are looking to continue their recent domination over the Avs tonight. They have won their last eight straight games against Colorado and have earned points in 18 straight games against the Avs (16-0-2) dating back to November 1, 2009. The Canucks have also won their last three straight games at the Pepsi Center and haven't lost in regulation in their last eight trips to Denver (7-0-1).

Jordan Schroeder is about to have a huge game. 5 points for Schroeder.

 

[HighAndTight]

Just looking for a consistent effort tonight.

 

[PG Canuck]

Very happy to see Schneider playing again tonight. He's earned it.

 

[Grumbler]

Trap game.

 

[keslerburrows]

It's Colorado, we should win. They got thrashed just last night. And Giggy is in net. 3-1 win.

 

[ahmon]

get to see landeskog, one of the more complete wingers in the game.

Heard he was a GT decision.

Taelin: If that happens, I'm sending you flowers everyday until the end of the year.

I think we all realize I am the inspiration the Canucks needed ... and Taelin is going to have to send me some flowers soon or ruin the spell.

"Avs' Captain Gabriel Landeskog will be a gametime decision Sunday vs. Vancouver
Landeskog was a late scratch Saturday with a torso injury."

 

[John McClane]

Weise hurt his back. Ballard back on the wing on the 3rd line. Oh boy.

Weise out with shoulder injury, so Ballard's back in, but that's not the weirdest thing about tonight's lines...

Burrows demoted. He's been playing bad for a while.

another back injury what the hell

 

[KDizzle]

Bieksa Alberts... man that pairing was disastrous yesterday.

 

[Pip]

I do like that AV made a conscious effort to keep that second line together, and Burrows has been struggling lately. I'm ok with the changes made today. Also I realize that Bieksa/Alberts is inevitable because Ballard is moving up

 

[King of Anarchy]

Burrows demoted. He's been playing bad for a while.

I get that, but Higgins? Okaaaaaay... (not that AV has a ton of options unless he's willing to break up the 2nd line)
