hes safe....wink wink,nudge,nudge

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

Suprised to see Valk not in the lineup whats up with that?

A lot of guys will be getting cut after these split squad games, especially the younger ones. Pretty sure Canuck management wants to get one last look at a lot of them.

I guess what I'm saying is that Valk is going to get into some actual pre-season games if I'm reading this correctly.

If Archibald doesn't absolutely smoke someone in the Stockton game he should be C-U-T

Ah that makes sense hopefully we can see our rookies spread out on lines with the vets in the later games. Getting excited!

 

[Powder]

Interesting line-ups. One team is not like the other.

I'm guessing TSN1040 and 1410 will have each game? Damn evening classes making me miss hockey!

It may also be Valk's agent does not want him to get injured if they are working on a contract ATM. So they are playing it safe since he has clearly made it through the first few cuts.

Nice to see all the muscle being sent to Stockton, that should be an... interesting game

What's the over/under on fights??

Sharks have to dress goons to protect Wingels from thugs like the Sedins.

Yes, I had that thought as well, especially after Willie's comments.

 

[Scouter]

Not the same lines they had in camp, no Miller, interesting.

 

[Bgav]

Can't wait!

 

[Aphid Attraction]

Not a huge fan of the D parings and how they are spread out... Webber on the wrong side, I sure hope that they talked to SJ and they will play a stronger team in game 1...

Giving the other goalies a go since two will be cut after tomorrow

 

[canuck4life16]

Miller is already lock for the top spot.......the rest is fighting for backup/starting goalie for the AHL

 

[Scouter]

^ Don't know if I would go that far, Lack is maybe right there.

 

[LuckyDay]

I'm really excited. I live in Stockton now and never even dreamed to see this would happen. Although the Thunder are the hottest team in the ECHL.

Does anyone know if the Stockton game got moved to 6? My bro-in-law is coming from out of town. I will provide pics. Which sweater should I wear? Stick in Rink or Flying Skate (black and orange)? Or maybe my Orca just so I can get asked what it is by Sharks fans again.

The Thunder does do broadcasts. They have cameras throughout the arena so it could be broadcast. They occasionally shows games locally.

If its a goon squad the 'Nucks should dress #24 Garet Hunt. He's a regular Stan Jonathan.

So it looks like Thorton is going to be here.

Also, Sharks are reporting the NHL Network is picking up the Shark @ Vancouver 6pm game "in progress" after the TO @ Philly game

The Canucks @ Sharks is at 7:30pm. Pray I don't get beat up. Stockton is a rough town although the Sharks fans are pretty snobbish and clueless about any other team.

So if I don't subscribe to SN360 and I live in Calgary. So I get to watch this? Rogers has me all confused.

Its no surprise the diaz brothers are from stockton.

Stubhub is hilarious, a lot people trying to sell their lower bowl tickets for a split squad game for $300 each!

Good luck with that, who in their right mind is paying $600 to watch a low level exhibition game!?

Ha ha, 30+ tickets that are going for over $250 each, it's awesome. And yes, they are all club seats but still...

EDIT: Sorry, 30, not 363!

Yeah, so if you see empty seats, I think you'll know why.

Upper bowl should be full though, tons in the $20 range, might even pick up a pair and wander over after work.

Thanks for the tip, just got myself two tickets for $33 buckeroos. Ticketmaster's lowest price was $70. Haha, I'm not paying that.

EDIT: I'm taking my mom. This time she'll know who Burrows is.

[Danrik]

Headed to the game tomorrow night with my son for his fist game ever. Will probably be our only game this year unless some free tickets fall in our lap.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

If Archibald doesn't absolutely smoke someone in the Stockton game he should be C-U-T

Or if he absolutely smokes someone from his own team.

 

[LuckyDay]

its two games. should this be two threads? its kind of confusing to know who's talking about what.

ie. anyone else going to be at the Stockton game?
