GDT: Colorado Avalanche at Vancouver Canucks - Jan. 30, 2013

[PeterTheGreat]

My guess it'll be a typical Avs-Nucks snoozefest. Canucks 3 Avs 1.

 

[avs1dacup]

4-1 win if they don't allow a PP goal. 6-2 loss if they allow 3. This teams 5 on 5 play, although frustrating, has been fine. When you give up 9 PP goals in 5 games...you're not going to win.

 

[BrandonL]

Canucks are sort meandering through the early part of the schedule, so this game could easily go either way.

That being said, I'll admit I'm glad to see you guys are struggling on the PK. Our PP has looked horrific the last few games, so I'm hoping the boys will get back on track tomorrow. Hopefully we will get an entertaining game.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

Bordeleau goes wild and lumberjacks Sedins arm, breaking it in two.

and from that stump a new Sedin is born

 

[The Kingslayer]

What are the chances we see Giguere in net tommorow? I dont want Varly to be subjected to the same crap against the Oilers.

 

[SuperJoe]

Wilson for roughing at 7:46
Final score 5-2 Van
6 penalties and 2PP goals against
Going to the game, won't lie to you guys not overly excited bout seeing that bunch of turkeys in action

 

[PAZ]

I honestly see this being a close game.

Still, Canucks 4-2.

Guessing Wilson with a penalty 3 minutes in.

 

[Drij]

Someone will get a 5min penalty and the game will be over.

Well we play Calgary on Thursday so he will play one of the games unless Sacco has lost his mind.

[21]

A win would for sure be a huge surprise but this is the NHL, you never know.

Vancouver Canucks, the Presidents' Trophy winner last two seasons are slowly starting to play better. They can't be happy loosing to LA Kings (OT) after leading the third period. Now they are playing in front of their home audience after a slow start of the season, feeling the preassure.

Canucks 15-0-2 in the last 17 matchups vs the Avs, it's ridiculous.

The game is perhaps even more important for the Avs though.

I expect two teams giving it all, should be a physical match.

 

[Zombotron]

Johnson gets injured for the rest of the season.

I would laugh uncomfortably at this, taking our GDT theme into consideration.

(not wishing injury on your players, of course.)

That can't be right? Sacco needs to be fired just because his horrible record vs division. Horrible horrible.

Or surprising playoff run?

 

[Appleanche]

I'm thinking something like 8-1.. first penalty Willson high sticking, double minor to get 2 goals 2:30 seconds into the game.

Beautiful song
Beautiful game

Oh don't worry, you guys will. But don't be surprised if we hope an Avs player jacks up a Canuck to at least give up something to be excited about.

This team is sloppier than a fat kid eating buffalo wings, clumsier than a teenager finding his way around his first girlfriend and more depressing than when your first pet died.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

Oh and....

GDT MUSIC
​

This is what they'll be playing in the Avs lockerroom after the last game of the season. Everyone will be singing along and Stastny and EJ will be using their hockey sticks as microphones while doing the dance moves. Duchene will be dancing by spinning in circles repeatedly. Sacco will be sitting in the corner with his face in his hands.

(Vamos a la playa = we're going to the beach).

 

[Taak19]

3-2 OT 'Nucks

 

[Bubba Thudd]

4-2 Mother Canuckers, including the ENG.

 

[S E P H]

Curious, what line did Olver play on last year?

 

[Lonewolfe2015]

Curious, what line did Olver play on last year?

He bounced around the 2nd/3rd line LW before centering the 4th line during Duchy's injury.

 

[The Angry Teatowel]

Still trying to decide whether to get up at 4am or not for this. Surely we can't be as bad as in the first two periods against Edmonton... can we?
