Post-Game Talk: Canucks def. Sharks - 4-2 (Dickinson, Garland, Chiasson, Schenn)

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

10 games left, can the Canucks keep their playoff hopes going? EP is hot, Horvat is hot.

Canucks are on a 2 game winning streak and the Sharks are on a 5 game losing streak.

Even if the Canucks go 9-1 from here on out they wouldn't be guaranteed a playoff spot, as LA would have to go 4-4-1 or worse in their remaining 9 games.

Kings play Ducks x2 , Hawks x2 and Kraken once still.

Easy win. Sharks are 0-4-1. Veteran team with nothing to play for that has quit for the season and is already polishing the golf clubs.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I still have a deep dislike of the Sharks from the early 2000s when Joe Thornton used to pour steak sauce on the Canucks and eat them for dinner. These days I’m more just annoyed at Couture being a diver.

Long and short - win, please. Would be great to see the team play as well at home as they have been on the road lately.

I'd like to see Podz up on the 2nd line, but boy would that make our bottom 6 look like hot garbage. Management sure does have a lot of work to do in the off-season, don't they?

Pettersson should be playing C which would at least give us 3 respectable lines

 

[Rob Brown]

Any word on if Hughes might be back?

 

[RussianRacket]

Keep the streak going.

Beat the Sharks

WE WANT PLAYOFFS!!!

GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!

 

[604]

My hope is that we play well enough down the stretch that our game against the Kings on the 28th means something.

 

[wonton15]

Hughes is skating, but part of me doesn’t want to see Hughes/Schenn and OEL/Myers back together. OEL Schenn has been very smooth without Myers dragging down O

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Moar EP points plz.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Any word on if Hughes might be back?

He was at practice..game time decision I expect.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

For whatever reason..the biggest letdowns have been at home this season..Hopefully not tonight.

 

[Canuckle1970]

I hated the Sharks more when Thornton was on the team. I hope they've checked out for the season but you never know.

Main thing is, we have to bring that same intensity we had against Vegas, especially in the 1st period. Petey delivering another 3-4 point game would be sweet.

 

[VanJack]

Looking at that projected lineup card, if Dickinson is playing next to Horvat instead of Podkolzin, then the 'Bruce, there it is' chants could be muted in a hurry.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Sounds like Dickinson in, but Pearson may be out.

And agree with the above - just keep Dickinson away from our top six.

 

[cc]

I think Hughes might be back this game

my lines would be

Pod Bo Garland
EP Miller Chiasson
Dickinson Petan richardson
Dries Lammikko Lockwood

Hughes Schenn
OEL Myers
Dermott Burroughs

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Come on, boys, let’s do this!

 

[Grumbler]

2.7% chance to make the playoffs. SO YES LETS GO FOR IT.

 

[VanJack]

Unfortunately even with a win tonight by the Canucks, the Stars still have two games in hand.....it's like the warning in your outside car mirror--objects are appear to be a lot closer than they really are.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Sharks backup set to play. I smell a trap.

 

[ChuckNorris4Cup]

Interesting stat....

 

[mriswith]

In a world of alternate universes, I'd love to see how MacEwan's career would have turned out if he couldn't fight and never ran into Green. Or even just the latter.

Also need more Rathbone.

[Sedinery]

Would like to see us play Myers at forward before the end of the season

He would be a much be a better suited forward vs d man imo
