I’d definitely limit their minutes, that’s for sure, especially if pace picks up. I agree that we need to find that fine line between practice and not taking on too much risk.

The most important preseason game ever
If the Canucks get stomped do they come at Minnesota even harder, is their confidence shaken, do we spank Winnipeg do we have a false sense of security, are we gonna lose somebody due to injury, does Markstrom get lit up or what OR WHAT
I am so excited my body is ready
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, tuesday, HOCKEY Thursday Friday Saturday HOCKEY

If I’m not mistaken, each team gets to dress an extra forward and an extra D in this game?
One last audition for the Black Aces.

Could be one last shot for Virtanen or MacEwen to reclaim his spot. I don't think Bailey or TG see any time this game with 3 NHL regulars ahead of them.
Maybe we see 1 of the Black Ace defencemen? Would be interesting to see if Juolevi can handle a real NHL game.

For me the timing is perfect. I have just slipped a disc last week, they may have up to six weeks stuck inside. I think I will be spending between 15 and 20 hours a day in front of the TV. Oh joy. The only problem is I can’t yet make it down to the TV.
Damn I hope these guys take Minnesota three. Damn I hope these guys take Minnesota in three.

Winnipeg is this groups Chicago. If the Canucks end up meeting Winnipeg in the playoffs and can beat them, then things get very very interesting.
I do think someone's getting hurt in this one, it will be intense.

Well, that is a serious drag. Get well soon. I hope you have a full recovery (but you're unlikely to be able to play with the same recklessness as before).

Hopefully you’re all healed up by late September, so when Bo hoists the Cup you don’t hurt yourself in celebration.

Only 1 game to get ready for the Minnesota series, everyone should be playing after the long layoff to shake of the rust and get in Sync for Game 1. Let’s Go!!

My opinion is similar to this. It is a mostly meaningless warmup. Imo the team should use players:
-whose timing seems not to be regained yet so they're a little off
-who the coach wants to see something particular about
-who need to work on something in particular
I'd definitely sit Hughes, based on reports that indicated he's been the most ready-looking of the Canucks. The only thing that might cause me to play him is if they're making changes in a power play unit or don't feel it is ready and want it to get some game time together.
I'd be most interested in seeing how Ferland handles the pace of a game after his fine showing in the mini-camp. Imo Jake should definitely sit to emphasize that his shenanigans in the time off and poor performance in training camp have been noticed and that he needs to put forth a professional effort.
There's no reason for toi for individual players to have any relation to what it will be when the games are important.
Lol!....yep, it's almost a guarantee that one or both of the Canucks over-30 d-men will go down before this series runs its course, particularly since the Wild are a tough, physical team.
So we could see Juolevi or Rafferty sooner, rather than later. And although Benn and Fantenberg are the veterans, and would probably have first crack at more ice time, I'd actually like to see Green roll the dice with at least one of his young d-men.
So, is this game going to see our 'Game 1 vs the Wild' roster? Are they going to give more ice time to guys like Rafferty and Juolevi for the exhibition game, or is this a tune-up and our Game 1 roster is set?
