Couple of line-up notes:

-JT Miller is back in Vancouver nursing a minor injury
-Lazar was placed on IR
-Kravtsov will make his Canucks debut

As much as people like to clown on Miller, him being out is big for the tank.

Looking forward to EP being backed up by Dries-Aman-Raty down the middle

Yeah that C depth is real ugly without JT.

We need an elite 3C again…

3Cs have to have balls. I don't want a 3C without balls. Do you?

38-0 VAN

Kravy (26)
Kuzy (7)
Big Pete (5)

So unbelievably hyped to see Kravy
LETS GOOOOO

Is Bear in or out? If out, this defense is going to be one for the ages. Stillman, Brisebois, Wolanin, Burroughs should all be playing. Add Myers. Hughes is going to have to play 35 minutes.

but we have wingers...

Yes, a few of them are going to get try outs at centre.

It's super outside of the box so I doubt it happens, but I have always said Kravtsov should be a center. Would love to see him get some reps there, he was the 1C for Team Russia at the WJC which is where he really put his name on the map and got ranked the #1 NHL affiliated prospect by TSN afterward

Given his aversion to the boards, you might be on to something.

 

[wonton15]

Who even plays 2C?

We’re going to see Raty fill JT’s shoes. Retool complete

-Lazar was placed on IR
-Kravtsov will make his Canucks debut

‘Minor Lower Body Injury’
JT fell and scraped his knee playing with his kids. Alvin didn’t want to risk an infection. Time to sit out while it heals.

 

[Love]

Is Kravtsov playing?

 

[m9]

I would give Studnicka a shot back at center.

I know he's battled an illness recently, but he's 24 and we need to see if we have a useful NHL player here. As of now, we don't. His contract is NHL-guaranteed next year and as of now it looks like we gave up an okay prospect to Boston for what amounts to contract dump as he probably wouldn't be brought back if he was an UFA.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Is Kravtsov playing?

Yea idk I haven't seen any source saying whether he is yet except OP
Krav will be doing a media availability at 10AM

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Predicting a Kravstov goal, but a loss. We’ll see if our patchwork defense can help Silovs hold the door tonight.

 

[Love]

Krav will be doing a media availability at 10AM

Will you be at the media availability ED?

 

[EdJovanovski]

Bozo might be good for Krav though, pressuring him to get on the onion ring diet could help him bulk up a bit

 

[orcatown]

OEL, Miller. Bear, Pearson, Pullman, Dermott, Lazar, Mikheyev, Demko, Ferland, and Schenn (for roster management issues) all out . That's quite sick bay, etc list.

Now if we can just get Pettersson a little dinged up, put Martin back in goal, the tank will really start to rumble.

 

[MS]

Heh, Raty as a 2C. Mea culpa.
