Pre-Game Talk: Canucks / Bruins @ the Hornet's Nest, Tuesday

[Zombotron]

The last time we were in there, Bo Horvat went off for four points and a SHG in an 8-5 win, perhaps one of the better moments in the history of this young core:

Who wants some more

Eriksson from Gudbranson and Granlund

NEWSFLASH: Pasta is good

 

[Angry Little Elf]

4-0 Canucks. Poetic justice.

 

[Josepho]

We're going to lose this one by multiple goals, and that's okay.

Boston is really f***ing good and their record is being hampered by an 0-7 shootout record.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Don't feel too bad about this game..Marky will most likely be in net, and again..the team is relatively healthy...It's not some crazy good opponent (Oilers and Kings have both beaten the Bruins in the Boston Garden if i'm not mistaken).

The team at least has a day off tomorrow (Monday) to chill out after a bizarre scheduled road trip (SJ,NY,CAR)..Gaudette and Demko should be stoked for this one.

They've actually been trending down for a while and just recently put a couple of wins together. It doesn't help that they can't win a shootout, but I think other warning signs are there for that team.

Wow Pasta is putting up insane numbers. Keep him off the scoresheet

 

[VanJack]

The benefit of playing these afternoon games, is that the Canucks can hit the airport and be in their hotel in the next city in plenty of time. Hopefully with two hotel nights and a practice, Canucks won't be too devoid of energy. They're going to need it in Boston, the Beasts of the East.

Final two games of a road-trip are always a toss-up. Markstrom will have to be one of the three stars again.

I'm predicting the GWG will be Leipsic from Del Zotto and Goldobin

Dont Liepsic and Goldobin BOTH play LW???? Just cant see them both being in on the SAME goal

We're going to do what's called a pro gamer move

 

[Josepho]

i for one think kenins will finally get back on the scoresheet

 

[Addison Rae]

Canucks win 4-3

 

[geebaan]

We win 3-1, play pretty average to bad, Marky steals the game, Miller and Boeser get the 2 main goals, while Pearson gets the empty netter assisted by Loui.

Did I miss anything?

Jay Beagle and Tim Schaller spend a quarter of the game hemmed in their own zone and every Canucks community from here to Canucks Instagram complains about it

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I’m here for the Beagle line vs Pastrnak line show down.

 

[HockeyWooot]

Another good litmus test game against one of the leagues best.

Bsckstopped by more fantastic goaltending, I can see us taking this.

There have been just a mere handful of other seasons in the last 30 where the Canucks were upswinging like this at this stage of the season, with a team with comparable potential, youth and excitement... Where the build up during the season pumped you up towards feeling something bigger might happen.
Like our signature moment for 2019-20 is yet to come...


This feels like the 01-02 build up... or the 09-10 buildup with Burrows slaying the 9 gm 'losing' streak v Car.. or the incredible 91-92 buildup..

Fun fun season.



Now.... PUCK THE BRUINS!

One of these matchups... Virtanen will turn Vancouver Legend with a single bone rattling Marchand crunch. Dare to Dream... It would be WAY too Hollywood for the signature moment of this season be Viratnen crunching Marchard on route to sparking a new win streak that cements the division 1 seed. Too much to ask.

Eriksson with the Gordie Howe hat trick.

 

[ErrantShepherd]

It feels like the team looks forward to games against Boston. Here's hoping they come out flying!

(Hell maybe Schaller can do some hometown hero antics for the AWAY team if he's in.)

 

[ErrantShepherd]

Eriksson with the Gordie Howe hat trick.

What's more likely, Eriksson scoring a goal, or Loui fighting?

 

[bobbyb2009]

So much positivity in this thread, that I have a bad feeling....

Boston 5 Vancouver 1
2 Big injuries (knock on wood)

Thanks a lot schedule makers....

Sedin Week Details Announced

Nine more days...

 

[FreeMcdavid]

interesting, The Canucks decided to stay in Raleigh after the Sunday matinee so they can have a Super Bowl Party.

They instead flew out and traveled today.

What would Gillis's sleep doctors say about this?

 

[Zombotron]

or the 09-10 buildup with Burrows slaying the 9 gm 'losing' streak v Car..

Markstrom's late save vs. VGK in December might be remembered in the same way
