Post-Game Talk: Canucks Def. Penguins | 5-1 | Pearson, Horvat (2), Kuzmenko, & Miller

[UrbanImpact]

Gonna be a slaughter fest! Pens coming off bad games in Alberta and then stewing and resting in Van for a few days now.

I would be surprised if Canucks even get 20 shots on net tonight.

5-1 Pens

 

[ChilliBilly]

2 goals on 3 shots in the 3rd is great shooting percentage. Hopefully they can sustain that pace going into this game!

well one of those was an empty net ....

Any word on which goalie we'll face?

Not sure yet. Been looking around but nothing yet. I assume Jarry since they've had such a long break (although they play the Kraken in Seattle tomorrow) and have lost two in a row.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Most likely will be a Penguins victory tonight..They lost their last two (Oilers and Flames) so they're not what they used to be...Difference is that the Canucks will be coming off of a hard fought b2b...Travel isnt an issue, but fatigue might be.

Hopefully, Miller is good to go (he could wake up today, and his ankle could be twice the size).

I'd be happy with a single point.

And it was the game winning goal!

On paper the Pens tonight don’t look that scary but Crosby and Malkin will feast on our dogshit defence. Should be a decently bad loss tonight. 5-1?

Crosby has 9 goals and 10 assists in 19 career games against Vancouver, while Malkin has 10 goals and 10 assists in 18 games against Vancouver.

Brock Boeser has the best career stats vs Pittsburgh (7 goals and 3 assists in 8 games vs Pittsburgh) but of course, he's unavailable to us tonight.

Intrigue!

Intrigue!

I'm thinking we see Studnika draw in.

 

[Vector]

I'm thinking we see Studnika in.

Or at least on the roster. The logical move would be to scratch Dries even though he had an assist.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'm thinking we see Studnika in.

Agreed, I think that's it.

Lockwood should be able to dress for Abbotsford tonight, too. (they're playing in Abbotsford, are they not?)

They are back home.

5-2 Pittsburgh is my guess. Our goals both by Brisebois

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Saw a report yesterday from a Pens beat writer that Mike Sullivan was not in a good mood and that expect the Pens to come out guns blazing. We’re probably gonna roll over early in this one.

Sullivan is one of the best and toughets coaches in the world.... That does not sound promising. But I really do hope JT Miller is able to kill and ready for action. He is the man to follow......... not a follower himself. A leader. I'm expecting big things from him again, even though this game might be a diffcult one to win. Lets see and enjoy the entertainment.

Gotta think jarry gets the start. He is from here.

Yeah they just now announced it officially. Jarry plays tonight for mike sullivan.

 

[Cogburn]

So is there any word on Miller being back in the line up?

On the second of back-to-back games we tend to find out quite a bit later in the day. Sometimes not even until about an hour before the game starts.

Its all for my pool., so I have time. I hope he's alright, but a night off might not be a bad thing, as a precaution.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

If we lose bad...I at least hope for some good ol fashion goonery.

Pearson, Jackson (Joshua), OEL, and Myers better just find fighting partners all game long.

I never post in this subforum and this is random but I just saw Quinn Hughes at Spirit Halloween. He couldn't look more like an average white Vancouver kid if he tried. And man there is no way in hell he's even close to his listed 178cm.

Looked like mom was packing a nice costume haul

Given the circumstances, I will be the most surprised person on the planet if we win this game, but definitely the happiest.
