Pre-Game Talk: Canucks vs. Avalanche on 2000s Night - Game 67

[Zombotron]

I wonder how much I'd have to pay for Harold Druken's jockstRRPRRGHHH

I'm sorry

 

[Zombotron]

I predict Colorado takes the series in 4, Roy doesn't even break a sweat and the apologists call this a "learning experience" for our young players like the Sedin Sisters and Bryan Allen. I'll be laughing when they don't make the playoffs again until 2005

We need Hindu back to PM me asking how much he would need to pay for the girl in my avatar

OK, I laughed out loud when I first saw this scene in the theatre when the movie came out back in 1980 ; now it seems so CREEPY and wrong.

The team has had a bad run of luck and some sketchy games. After the bounce on the first goal in Arizona I could only think..."Oh no, not again." But, I believe that things will turn around again. We still have a surprisingly strong team even missing Marky. Though I have been unable to fathom how long it has taken to move Louie down and Jake up, I generally support both Green and Benning. May the gods of Hockey (hallowed be Gordie Howe) see fit to give us an effing break.

HUGE game! I think this team needs an early goal and hopefully a lucky bounce to get the confidence up. Another early and/or fluky could get ugly fast.

Haha this rat deserves it, to hell with him. Hope the Putin league wont sign him, hope the NHL steers clear, and hope the guy realizes that hating our league, our country, our city, the way we like freedom... that the way he did this WILL have consequences. No mercy, no forgiveness, until the guy truly admits the MASSIVE error of his ways

You forgot to sign in as M2B

Not gonna be pretty. 8-3 Avs

...is #44 going to be in the building?

 

[Baby Pettersson]

I sadly have zero faith in this team right now. Hope they can prove me wrong.

#11 should make a surprise entrance & skate around giving everyone the middle finger.

No, stop, he was only a Canuck for like four months of the 2000s

No, he still plays for Anaheim.

Four months of #11 is like 4 decades of anybody else.

Look at all the destruction I caused in my 4 months as a Mod. Mr C is still in therapy.

Mack will bump the slump and Travis green will say we played well.

Lopsided poll

 

[Grumbler]

Tomorrow's game should be the season deciding game. If we lose, then seasons probably over for good and we really did win our cup blowing out a tired bruins team.

 

[VanillaCoke]

The 2 remaining Arizona games will be the season deciding games imo

 

[rypper]

We're gonna get wrecked. Alternatively, like the Boston game we'll come out of nowhere and actually win.

The team has bounced between good stretch/bad stretch all season so I'd imagine they have a good stretch left in them... except now they have some injuries and they're going to be battling with 5 other teams for 1 or 2 spots. So even if they get a good run in again it may not necessarily matter if the competition does as well.

It'ss 2000s night. Hope to see some legends there like Jovocop, Salo, Sopel, and Ruutu.

Fitting that 2000s night will be against the Avs. Maybe Steve Moore makes a surprise appearance.

In the early 2000's my daughter would watch Canucks games with me sometimes; it ended up being much more of a "I wanna hang with dad!" thing than any desire to learn about the sport or team, and a love of the game didn't take. But years afterwards, she still recognizes the names from the West Coast Express years whenever they come up in random conversation or on tv.

When Ruuttu's first game back in Vancouver (also Sidney Crosby's first IIRC) happened, they did a highlight package of his greatest exploits at one point. She looked at me and said: "He's such an asshole...!" I turned to her and said: "Yes. But. He was our asshole."

We’re without Rantanen, Makar, Kadri, Burakovsky, Calvert and Grubauer. Take it easy on us!

I'll raise you Markstrom, Boeser, and Myers with Hughes and Demko on the limp.

Girl. Huh. He's moved up from scuttlebutt I've heard around here.

I'm sorry

lol don't encourage him.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Canucks got this one. End of the losing streak.

Go Canucks!

That would be a negative.

If we dont get back on track soon then that last game (#81 of season) against Arizona won't mean sh*t.

It's our games in hand that count the most right now...must wins.

 

[VanJack]

One more loss, and regardless of what happens on the out-of-town scoreboard, the Canucks officially fall below the playoff bar....odds of making the playoffs then drop below 50 percent.

And we don't even have 'the tank thread' open to comments anymore. It's a double-whammy.
