This is going to be a interesting game.

My lineup:

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Raymond-Schroeder-Kassian
Higgins-Malhotra-Hansen
Volpatti-Lapierre-Weise

EDIT: Maybe switch Malhotra and Lappy.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Got me excited with #BURE, thought he would be getting honored or something, then I saw it was in Minny.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Calling it - Schroeder will score his first NHL goal in his home state in front of his friends and family. Can't ask for a better story than that! Go Shredder!

Methinks Schneider will get the start in this one.

 

[Taelin]

2-1 Canucks. Schroeder with his first NHL goal and first star of the game!

 

[Vancouver Canucks*]

My prediction

4-3 Canucks

Schneider starting

You're bound to be right eventually.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

First look at Wild for me this season. How has Parise playing? Is he making an impact?

Would love to see it after Tanev's heroics last game. It'd be a great storyline. Maybe Henrik was serious about making this a season to remember.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

You're bound to be right eventually.

I'll just keep saying it until it happens. Power of positive thinking.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

3-1 with Schneider in net.

Edler, Schroeder, and Daniel with the goals.

 

[keslerburrows]

Am I the only one that appreciates this PGT? The e-mail address at the bottom was a great touch, Z.

 

[stevecanuck16]

You guys have definitely jinxed Schroeder scoring in Minny.

 

[canuck4life16]

I hope Schroeder scores..........oh boy the Wild fans will hate him forever

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Since we're saying our Minnesota born players score. I think Ballard and Schroeder score.

 

[Jevo]

Taking into account that Luongo has a habit of being **** in Minny, I guess this is the time to give Schneider a start again?

Also, going 6-2-2 without Booth and Kesler would be awesome.

 

[BC Ben]

3-1 Nucks

Kassian, Burrows and Schroeder with the empty netter!

 

[Zombotron]

Since we're saying our Minnesota born players score. I think Ballard and Schroeder score.

Can we dress Alberts for this one, too?

Also, going 6-2-2 without Booth and Kesler would be awesome.

It's so hard to believe...the possibility of going 6-2-2 through our first ten. My god.

 

[Hoggy]

If you feed Tanev, he will score.

 

[Hammer79]

I think Luongo gets the start. Schneider probably would have gotten the start, that is before his agent started whining to the media about his ice time.

 

[BrandonL]

Been watching a lot of Minnesota games this year on NHL center ice, and I definitely think they have been flying under the radar a little bit to start the season. I think their top line could give our D lots of problems, particularly with the Wild having last change. Backstrom is also underrated, I don't expect the Canucks to light up the score board.

I could see this being a real physical game, maybe what everyone was expecting from the Chicago game. I think the Wild are the team most likely to challenge for the division, and this could be seen as a statement type game for both teams.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

I think Luongo gets the start. Schneider probably would have gotten the start, that is before his agent started whining to the media about his ice time.

His agent, not Schneider himself.. Schneids had no part in it.

 

[Hammer79]

His agent, not Schneider himself.. Schneids had no part in it.

Yeah, because Schneider didn't tell him to say that. His agent wouldn't have gone off-the-cuff like that without his client's approval. This way, he gets to express himself while being able to deflect questions to his agent.

 

[LiveeviL]

If you feed Tanev, he will score.

Better call Eddie Läck then

 

[CanadianPirate]

I think Luongo gets the start. Schneider probably would have gotten the start, that is before his agent started whining to the media about his ice time.

I completely missed that. What did he say?

Canucks win this one 4-2, Schroeder with the winner, Bieksa, D. Sedin and Higgins score the others. Parise and Granlund for the wild. Oh and Schneider gets the start.
