Just don't care

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Maybe getting back on the road will be a good thing. That 5-1-1 road trip seems so long ago now after by his frustrating home stand.

 

[Zombotron]

 

[Nuckles]

Are they taking a bus?

 

[Nuckles]

OH ****, I just realized that there are back to back morning games on this road trip. Saturday at 11am vs. Rangers, Sunday at 10am vs. Canes. :|

I think playing some weaker opponents will help. Hopefully it'll give some of the players their confidence back.

Burrows, Burrows, a thousand times Burrows.

Although heck, if Booth can replicate his LA effort, he could find the net too.

 

[Ryp37]

Ottawa's d's been struggling so hopefully we can open the flood gates, thought Weise had a great game last night hopefully he continues that trend, same with Booth looking less lost out there

 

[Zombotron]

Burrows, Burrows, a thousand times Burrows.

Booth scoring off the rush with Hansen and Kesler last game would have been a feel-good story in the vein of Tanev scoring his first goal or Burrows' SH goal which turned the Canucks' season around in 2008-09--



Can we see that from David Booth next game, please? And every game after that?

Burrows, Burrows, a thousand times Burrows.

Booth impressed me last night. If he keeps that up the goals will come.

Burrows is in a HUGE funk.

 

[StIllmatic]

I'm not worried yet.

 

[Zombotron]

I'm not worried yet.

Not time to panic yet. Burrows bumps the slump and Booth gets going(?!) and look out, this team is dangerous again.

 

[Superpest]

I've never heard of this so called ice hockey you guys keep talking about.

I seem to be lost on the internet again.

 

[LiveeviL]

Booth impressed me last night. If he keeps that up the goals will come.

Burrows is in a HUGE funk.

Or he has benefited venomously playing with Sedins non-stop under AV. He might not be very much better than what he is now, the level he was at before being brought to the team. I am exaggerating a bit, but his "funk" might be less than one might think.

 

[Seatoo]

He's going to go superman like Higgins did for a few games and then go back to a 40 pt season pace

5-3 Canucks

 

[J Canuck]

I'll be going to this one. Last time I went was 1996, a 2-0 loss, my only other Canucks game. I splurged a bit for this one, 2nd row behind the home bench. I shall wave hello.

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

when was the last time we played them? dont recall

 

[Zombotron]

when was the last time we played them? dont recall

 

[deadinthewater]

when was the last time we played them? dont recall

December 2011. All I remember was Kesler's play. He was terrific in that game.

 

[deadinthewater]

Watching these highlights is so strange (#1 PP, Edler hitting the net, Kesler looking like a beast). We looked exactly like we did in 2010/2011 up until that game against Boston. I just understand what the **** happened..

OH ****, I just realized that there are back to back morning games on this road trip. Saturday at 11am vs. Rangers, Sunday at 10am vs. Canes. :|

That's pretty lame. They should have made it a 1 PM game or something.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Sens Killers:
Henrik Sedin - 15GP, 4G, 11A, 15Pts
Alexandre Burrows - 9GP, 4G, 3A, 7Pts
Ryan Kesler - 12GP, 5G, 4A, 9Pts

Hopefully this is the game where Burrows bumps the slump. He always seems to show well against the Eastern Canadian teams.

 

[Jyrki21]

First time since I moved here that I'm missing the Canucks' visit.
