[Big Naissak]

Sharks Gdt's are always fun

 

[Samzilla]

Maybe we can beat the sharks once this season.

Gotta elevate my game for these games, because the Sharks board is stacked with Photoshop talent.

 

[Royal Canuck]

I wish all tickets were $16 a piece.

 

[Grumbler]

Maybe we can beat the sharks once this season.

Sharks also relying heavily on their goaltending. Hopefully their goaltender have an off night tomorrow.

 

[CP]

The GDT competition is likely to be more interesting than the game itself.

Go Zombotron Go!

 

[y2kcanucks]

Those can't be the official lines are they? Is Adam Burish really on their top line?

 

[Canucks LB]

These are my lines for tomorrow.

Vancouver Canucks' Lineup:
D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows <-- chemistry
Raymond - Schroeder - Jensen <-- Give jensen a opportunity to succeed
Sweatt - Higgins - Hansen <-- Fast third line who can fore-check
Sestito - lappy - Pinozatto <-- Crap fourth line

POWER PLAY:

Sedin Sedin Jensen <--- gives him a chance to show his stuff right away
Garrison Edler

 

[Nuckles]

Jensen with the hat trick!!

jk, he probably wont stand out

 

[struckmatch]

Can't wait to see Jensen on our 4th line with Sestito and Lapierre...

 

[canuck4life16]

Jensen can't play with Ebbert........he need some good players

 

[Pip]

Jensen can't play with Ebbert........he need some good players

Who do you bump out of Burrows, Raymond and Hansen?

 

[canuck4life16]

Who do you bump out of Burrows, Raymond and Hansen?

either Burrows or Raymond.....jensen play with Daniel and Henrik or with Schroeder and hansen

 

[Pseudonymous*]

D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows
Raymond - Schroeder - Jensen
Ballard - Higgins - Hansen
Sestito - Ebbett - Sweatt

give the 2nd and 3rd line equal minutes. higgins and hansen play well together. try jensen with the sedins the odd shift

 

[Pip]

either Burrows or Raymond.....jensen play with Daniel and Henrik or with Schroeder and hansen

I dunno, Raymond is a player I think could do really well with Jensen

what if we did something like

Sedin Sedin Hansen
Raymond Schroeder Jensen (offensive zone starts mostly)
Ballard Higgins Burrows (defensive zone)
Sestito Lapierre Pinner
?

haha didn't see the post above me cause I didn't reload, would be good with that too

 

[canuck4life16]

we need just need a 60 minute effort please !

 

[TTOMO]

Ick, Pavement.

 

[Invictus146]

Panic button?

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

hopefully they show up after being embarrassed. but then again, they were embarrassed by Detroit and then got whipped again the second game.

 

[canuck4life16]

the entire team need to regain confidence before the deadline........need to find that offense again

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

This, to me, will be a very telling game.

Coming off getting curb-stomped by a weak division rival going into a place the Canucks are usually quite bad.

Will there be passion? Will there be tough play? Will the defense remember how to play hockey? It will have to wait until tomorrow.

 

[wahoyaho]

That line up doesn't seem right

 

[struckmatch]

Is this going to be another one of those "down 2-0 less than 8 minutes in" at the shark tank kinda games?

Schneider should start, and man will they need him to be excellent for a chance to win in SJ.
