With Poolman and Dickinson back, and Chaisson and Myers holding down the fort, should be an easy win. 8-2 Canucks with goals by Dickinson, Poolman Chaisson, Myers, OEL, Dermott, Schenn and Richardson

 

[geebster]

Boeser is out though right?

 

[timw33]

Wait, do we not have the space to just call up Rathbone under regular conditions?

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

No Quinn Hughes tonight.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

A 7pm PST/ 4pm EST might be the most impressive thing about this game.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Only 9 points out of the playoffs! Sweep the last 12 games and the Canucks have good odds of getting in!

 

[Bettman Returnz]

No Hughes or Boeser

Fixed now

As for the Lineups - Updated as of 3:20pm

No Hughes. Called up Rathbone but can’t even play him.

That f***ing roster took 8 years to construct and resembles a f***ing pre-season roster on day 2, with a bunch of cuts looming after the game.

 

[mriswith]

Every game Hughes is out is a reminder of how much we rely on Hughes.

I was looking forward to Rathbone, too bad he can't play tonight.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Wishing Hughes a quick recovery (assuming stomach flu like Bo). Brock - what an awful way to possibly end the season, especially with the contract status up in the air.

Welcome back to Burroughs - he was a pleasant surprise for me this year. But yikes, returning after a long layoff, to play a desperate Vegas team.

 

[rypper]

No Hughes in the lineup means we all better get prepared to see the defense struggle to clear our zone all night.

This 100% feels like the type of game we should lose, but will probably win.

(If we lose tonight in regulation our playoff odds drop to 0.29%... So you're saying there's a CHANCE.)

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

No Hughes sucks. No Rathbone is disappointing, too.

Stoked for Burroughs to be back - I like him.

But a tall order to win just got even bigger.

 

[MS]

Having Hughes out of the lineup and not having Rathbone in a position to pick up his minutes is a significant failure. Not pleased with that.

 

[VanJack]

Better late than never, I guess....but the 'mini-tank' has to be back....Canucks need losses now....potentially enhancing their draft position is about all they have left in this season.

You have MtoB itis? 7pm PST is 10pm EST. He had all kinds of trouble figuring this out for some time, though he seems to have figured out now.

Did I miss something prior to your post?

 

[geebaan]

You take Hughes out and it’s basically an AHL blue line. Wow. Took f***ing 8 years to make this.

 

[Hammer79]

Only 9 points out of the playoffs! Sweep the last 12 games and the Canucks have good odds of getting in!

11-1 gets them to 96 which might be enough, but yeah.... I think they go 5-6-1 and finish around 85 points. It would be great to see that miracle run though.

 

[Vector]

Still not seeing any reason why Chiasson would get more ice time than Lockwood. Meaningless regular season games are an important resource and the team is not utilizing them correctly.

Does anyone know how many regular recalls the Canucks have?

The original title was 7pm PST/4pm EST.

Remember how vital Jussi Jokinen was during that completely meaningless stretch of games to close off 2017/2018?
