Hoping to get the W. Would propel is into a playoff spot. East is extremely tight and every point is important.

This will be the 11th game since the Pens lost 7-0 to Toronto. Ned will have started seven of them after tonight.

He’s been better…also he apparently played a couple games in the recent past against VAN and was very good, so I think the analytics favor him in this game too…Canucks are like 23-0 when they have a lead after two periods, get nearly 4 goals per game and are a +53 in goal differential…can’t afford to give up an early lead as Jarry has done his last couple starts…guess we’ll see if Tocchet plays CDS against the Pens…

The bookmakers think the Pens are the favourites in this game.

I am a little more skeptical, to be honest.

Only if CDS plays and if he does maybe it's even since we Forget how to shoot half our games.

VAN better know we like to beat western conference teams

Who’s more likely to score tonight? One of Blueger or Lafferty or Boeser?

It’s not the bookmakers, they don’t give a shit

So we are playing our starter tonight. Good to know.

 

[SEALBound]

This game is pretty easy - our best players have to be better than their best players. Our goalie has to be better than their goalie.

Incoming Harkins, Carter, Accari with all the points. Star players all the minuses.

"Harksy and Cartsy are just so important to the lineup. Soooo important. Guys like that really carry you when you need it most"

-Mike Sullivan (probably)

Canucks score over 20% off the rush, probably picking corners, Ned will have to stay on the top a lot, did not like his rebounding last game, he was dishing pucks left and right, they just did not have anyone around to pick them...it will be interesting to see how things shake down tonight...should be a fun game

Hey all,

Canuck coming in peace, things to watch out for tonight include the return of the lotto line, 6-40-9 (649 is the Canadian lottery) has scored 20 ES points in the last 3 games.

The Canucks third line of Dakota Joshua, Teddy Blueger and Connor Garland has been one of the highlights for the Canucks, they're incredibly hard working.

Hughes and Hronek has been one of the most electrifying defense pairings in the league this year, for Context the Canucks have never had a defense pairing score 100 points combined before, but Hughes is on pace for 102 on his own, and their combined pace is something like 180 points.

DeSmith has been really good this year, though I'm not sure who gets the start, and Demko is one of the engines that keeps the Canucks running, he was absolutely on fire in New York the other night.

The Canucks don't take a lot of shots but the ones they do take are really high danger, and they're really good at getting to those high danger areas. The other night Pettersson and Miller did a give and go inside the crease against the Islanders.

Good luck tonight! I enjoy seeing the Penguins in the playoffs so I hope the season continues being competitive.

 

[molon labe]

All eyes on....Jake Guentzel tonight?

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

Blueger obv goal tonight.

What do the bookies know...
Either way it should be a fun game to watch! I'm watching to be entertained!

About Carkins....
Nothing can phase me after the Gladams experience.

Peterson absolutely undressed Fox in that Rangers…since most of our defenders are worse than Fox, I’m expecting to see a lot of that this game lol

Blueger obv goal tonight.

Blueger and Lafferty…meanwhile, we’ll be shooting perimeter shots and chest snipes all night against Demko lol

Laff doesn’t have that type of confidence iMo to stick it to his former team. Teddy does though.

We’ll see…what we really need is Ned on his game tonight

 

[66-30-33]

This game is pretty easy - our best players have to be better than their best players. Our goalie has to be better than their goalie.

We have to score more goals than the Canucks to get the W unless we win in shootout. With all the ex Pens I’m guessing they are going to play their A game against us to prove they are better.
