GDT: GAME #30 - Canucks @ Roadrunners - March 21st, 1977, 7:00 - Sports Network Pacific

[PhilMick]

4-0 coyotes. They bounce back big. Canucks fails to score and does not cover their D zone.

...and AV blames goalie, gets contract extension.

No reason not to. Good previous game, enough rest.

Tom Sestito is taking part in #canucks morning skate but Steve Pinizzotto is not. He didn't travel w/team to PHX. Update from AV to come.

Hoping to channel his inner Bertuzzi?

Pinner better not have hurt his back picking up a cracker.

 

[Zombotron]

Edit: Neverminddddd, that was a colossal misread

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

When we let Salo walk we should have insisted that he take his curse with him.

Stop reading my mind!!!!

 

[WinterEmpire]

Well, maybe we can actually call up Jensen now

 

[Nuckles]

...****ing injuries...

 

[Fairweather]

Okay I'm convinced we're cursed now. Seriously, this is ridiculous.

 

[Nuckles]

How many injured forwards do we have?
Kesler, Booth, Higgins?, Pinner?, Sestito?, Kassian?

Injured d-men + goalies: zero.

 

[Lard_Lad]

Looking back, replacing all the beverages at the team buffet with Malk may not have been the smartest cost-cutting move.

 

[RobertKron]

How many injured forwards do we have?
Kesler, Booth, Higgins?, Pinner?, Sestito?, Kassian?

Injured d-men + goalies: zero.

Kesler, Booth, Malhotra (3-5 highest paid forwards), Kassian, Higgins possibly now, Pinnizotto isn't on the trip for whatever reason. Sestito was hurt I guess but took the skate so I'd imagine he'll play, although who knows if he would if there were other healthy options.

So 5. Potentially 6 or 7.

Isn't Bieksa playing hurt?

 

[Hansen]

Stop a'winnin' fer MacKinnon

Injured d-men + goalies: zero.

Good thing our strong defensive play kind of mitigates the loss in offense from all those injuries up front right? Isn't that what a good coach will provide? (eg., you learn to play better defensively but tough to "learn" to produce more if the skill ain't there).
