Posting in intermissions lol

Luc that's valuable beer-buying, peeing, crying time.

 

[Rotting Corpse*]

So the guy who buys my tickets (for a group of 3 or 4 others as well) had the tickets tonight and he gave them away to anyone who wanted them for nothing. Tells you something.

And the Horvat situation - he gets 4th line minutes, but also time on the PP and the PK. Its not as dire as made out on here. And Granlund needs supporting players more than Horvat. I understand it sort of, even if i don't like it.

The problem isn't really that he's on the "4th line." The problem is that all of our line combos are ridiculous and predictably none of them are capable of generating any offense..

It's dead easy to come up with combos that make sense.

sedins-Hansen -- they were good last year, why break it up just because you have a shiny new toy?
Baertschi-Horvat-Eriksson -- this would be a cromulent "second line"
Burrows-Sutter-Virtanen -- this would be an actual good checking line with some offense.
Gaunce-Granlund-Whatever -- whatever.

After 2 periods, ice time for Canuck centers:

Henrik: 11:46
Horvat: 10:56
Granlund: 10:52
Sutter: 10:36

Sutter is our 4th line center!

In shots on goal, Bo, Gudbranson and Larsen lead the team, tied with ... 2!?!

Roll 'dem lines WD, let nothing get in the way of the order.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

If they don't put Horvat with Bae next game
I won't watch a single game until WD is gone

Willie makes sense now

the guy just values having 4 lines that are as balanced as possible without being completely insane

somehting like

Gaunce Henrik Hansen
Baertschi Granlund Dorsett
Daniel Sutter Burrows
Erikson Horvat Virtanen

would be his pure dream

 

[M2Beezy]

whose man is this

Gillis

 

[The Drop]

Montreal Canadiens!! Who called it?

I'm 2 for 2

 

[canwincup]

He seems to walk on eggshells when talking about the Canucks and it's a shame. I enjoyed Friedman takes on the Canucks through the years

Well would you want the Italian mob after you?

 

[Captain Bowie]

Nonsense. 2 periods into one game is more than a sufficient sample size. Usually we've got these guys figured out by their draft year.

They've played 2 games already. Plus it's not like OHL games are hard to watch.

Understood ... but who would you put out as a threat? I can't think of any combination without the Sedins that would constitute a legitimate 2nd line threat.

 

[The Stig]

Roll 'dem lines WD, let nothing get in the way of the order.

Are we angry about rolling lines?

It's nice in theory, but Horvat is one of the only players on the team who can generate offensive chances. Realistically, he should be playing with Granlund and Baertschi both in the hopes of creating a 2nd unit that has a prayer of scoring.

I'm holding you to this.

Fun fact: They sit right behind WD every game with their children.

 

[geebaan]

Are we angry about rolling lines?

yes, when they interfere with sanity, or winning a game, yes, then I have a problem.

 

[Captain Bowie]

That's a tough ultimatum for him I'm sure.

You can count on me
btw, next game is tomorrow
