I fear Joe Sacco about as much as I fear a bag of gummie bears. That said, this should be no contest, even with our decimated lineup.

6 in a row sounds good to me. Let's do 6 in a row.

allz the goalz for uz, and none for the avs

 

[keslerburrows]

Keep riding Schneids and win again. Good to see all that green in our recent games throughout the conference. Good to know we have beat just about every team in the west.. Except SJ and DET.. 2 teams that could very likely be our first round matchup in the playoffs. Whatever. Keep winning

 

[CCF23]

Amongst starting goalies, Schneider is now 7th in GAA and 4th in SV%.

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

Sacco should win Coach Of The Year if he is simply coach FOR the year.

 

[Royal Canuck]

Just win.

Please.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

I'm calling Schneider getting his third shutout in a row.

 

[Nuckles]

Can we score a goal this game?

kthxbye

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hopefully the team takes the Avs more seriously than we are.

Another effort like the team showed in the Columbus game would be nice.

Canuck asst coach Rick Bowness confirms Cory Schneider will start Thurs vs Avalanche. Pinizzotto and Kassian decisions in morning. #canucks

Have you tried to eat a bag of all natural organic gummi bears (I thought they were normal). Worst gas of my life...so painful. Gummi bears can be evil...if made of hippie juices

^ Is it still a jinx if you say this the day before the game?

Better ask this now... I'm sure Luongo did 3 games in a row, but what is the actual record in terms of minutes? And wheat is Schneider sitting at right now?


forget it... King Canuck set me straight.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Schneider going again is a no-brainer; would love to see Kassian back, but I hope he takes it slow - definitely don't want his back to become a chronic issue. Pinizzotto would be good for some energy as well.

It wouldn't be 3 in a row. He had one against LA but he allowed 2 against the Avs on Sunday remember

 

[TruGr1t]

Who gets scratched for Pinner and Kassian assuming they play? Will be interesting as Gordon, Sestito, Ballard, and Ebbett will all be candidates.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Agreed. I usually have a steak before a game though.
A bag of Sestitos and a large Pinizzoto sounds tempting too.

Sestito wasn't great yesterday. If we're bringing back guys who can fight, he might be sitting.
