[Cool Hand Goof*]

Who cares what the media say about ice time they just want to rant about something

yup . all i care about is W's

Good luck tonight, hopefully the Caps win, but I want a good game from both teams (usually they seem to be). Can anyone inform me what exactly happened to the bottom 6? Due to living in England, I don't pay that much attention to the West Coast teams (time difference is a big factor in this.) Also, what are your thoughts on the season so far? How has Sedin-Sedin-Kesler looked compared to Sedin-Sedin-Burrows?

Don't worry, the eastern media that's only a few hours different than us doesn't care about us at all (unless we're doing something bad). We're used to it.

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

How has Sedin-Sedin-Kesler looked compared to Sedin-Sedin-Burrows?

A lot better. Burrows just isn't as good as Kesler.

 

[Grumbler]

somehow this game feels dangerous. Hopefully we can score 5 goals or more.

 

[How Ya Drouin]

How has Sedin-Sedin-Kesler looked compared to Sedin-Sedin-Burrows?

Well, they have been productive.

But they aren't as dominant in terms of playing, if you know what I mean... like, they haven't had any really long 30-40 second plays just cycling the puck creating chances.

Injuries happened. A lot of them. Schroeder is out for 2 months, Hansen and Weise are out for a month, Booth is out for 2 weeks, and Dalpe is on a conditioning stint in the AHL.

 

[Velociraptor]

Volpatti nets three marking the beginning of his new playstyle as a gritty, two-way forward who's good for 30 goals on Backstrom's wing.

lol, hopefully a win, I could see an absolute shootout as we've seen it before when these two square off.

Go Nucks Go!!

Damn, we have to play SJ within the next 2 weeks, guess the chances of us beating them this year are slim next to none.

 

[SashaSemin28]

Thanks for the kind responses

Damn, all for a good chunk of time too

They should have a field day against Erskine and Oleksy

What does his WHL points 30 years ago have to do with the ability to assess talent?
Scott Scissons had back to back 80 point seasons in the WHL too......


Yeah exactly, Scott Scissions

I was just reading about Ray Ferraro's great play in the 91/92 and 92/93 seasons, especially in the 93 playoffs against Lemieux and the Penguins, in the book "A Season In Time" by Todd Denault. Highly recommend the book.

But yeah, Ferraro wasn't exactly Lonny Bohonos.

 

[J Canuck]

My only prediction is that Bieska fights Olesky.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I hope Volpatti fights Sestito...and wins. I'm a big Volpatti fan, still not thrilled with that trade off (though Sestito has been less horrid to start this season).

Me too.

Volpatti >>>>> Pinner. Volpatti's hits are awesome.

I remember nuck management talking about pinner like he was some god. He had one big hit on his first shift of his first game and then did nothing. I was pissed off at how we lost volpatti. In one of his games with us, I think volpatti got a black eye from a fight. I think he is a good fighter, but i was actually a bit worried that he was having to fight a bit too much on our team. Sestito isn't the greatest fighter, but he is a lot taller and just seems to lose his balance after a little bit of fighting which ends the fight pretty quick. I'd be more worried about volpatti having to answer the bell against legit heavyweights, but Sestito can go with them and be meh.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I still have no idea why we put Volpatti on waivers. He may not have fought much, but he was infinitely better than Sestito.

 

[Samzilla]

been sick all day which means the nucks have to win for me...infallible logic

it was either volpatti or ebbett...choice was obvious

 

[Hammer79]

Pre-game show on right now on sportsnet van. It's a Canucks TV feature on the Bure story.

Couldn't we have just put AV on waivers?

 

[tc 23]

Couldn't we have just put AV on waivers?

We did. Unfortunately it was too late.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Lineup looks pretty solid tonight. I knew Burr was coming back for the Caps game I just knew it!

2011 again?

Bottom six:

Richardson
Santorelli
Hansen
Kassian
Welsh???

Sestito

Welsh has been more useful than Dalpe.

To be fair, I believe Scissons got injured at the end of his WHL career, which eventually led to his early retirement.

Was it a severe head injury by any chance?

 

[LightningBurrows]

Bure was so good.
