If we aren't careful, this team could demolish us. We can beat the Canucks, but only if we avoid the bad habits we've been dealing with for a while now. The Canucks are probably still annoyed about the non-call in overtime in the game against them in Vancouver, and they want to play well against a top team. They beat the teams they should beat (ahem) but don't do as well against playoff teams.

 

[Kane One]

I’ll be there. LFGR

 

[Row I Goon]

5pm puck drop - will be in Calgary after departing Edmonton late morning

[The Crypto Guy]

If we play like we did in Montreal this will be over fast.

We've done really well against the top teams. Boston twice is huge IMO. The Dallas game ugh. Ready for a Vegas / Avalanche (now) game TBH.

Also, we need to realize we're rolling out AHL dudes every game for the past few months. So proud of this hockey team.

Neeeed the full, post-TDL line up. Ready.

As a nucks fan this is a huge litmus test for us and a great chance to give the Eastern fans and media that despite not being anyltical darlings, there's mitigating circumstances that don't show on anyltics. We have a huge lead in goal differential and quite often we score 1st get up multiple goals and then tend to sit back as teams throw shots from everywhere. We also have been beating playoff teams at a better clip

We are also not a high volume shooting team.

But enough of that, I've noticed the last while nuck, rangers game have been extremely entertaining and well played playoff type games

I love the fact that we are two of the best teams that play exciting well executed fast paced hockey.
And let's be honest, for two teams that only play twice a year, for us fans around in 94, or the messier and keenen connection, still to this day has relevance to us. Our city rioted because of you A-holes,
Look forward to a fun, close, likely 60 + minute game.
I can genuinely say the rags are the only team I find fun to watch from the East and (the east has some boring ass teams) and you guys as fans are ass-holes which is exactly how a fanbase should be.
Cheers

This team doesn't particularly scare me. This year's PDO team.

Also, I hope Hughes being on the ice every other shift gives Laviolette some inspiration for his deployment.

Expect big time games from Dave Babych, Jyrkki Lumme, Sergio Momesso, Kirk McLean, Pavel Bure and Geoff Courtnall.

They better be up for this one. Canucks will be, especially after how the last one against us went.

How they perform tonight will be a huge gauge on my expectations going forward for this team.

 

[romba]

We've been on a mostly win 1 lose 1 streak for a while now. Aside from the Tampa game, no real standout performances either (Boston just demolished them so less us being great and more Tampa being only ok and hitting a rut). Hopefully we pull it together and can get 2 points tonight.

You are like a pit bull when you grab onto something you don't like but you are 100% correct with the Fox/Trouba usage. Fox is better. Ride your horses.

 

[EdJovanovski]

Ah, the highly anticipated semi-annual 'Ed vs Drunk Uncle' Bowl

 

[Mike in Houston]

I guess we're due to win since we lost on Saturday and we don't usually lose two in a row. That said, can we string some wins together again?

 

[17futurecap]

It's impressive they have only lost two in a row once this season, lets keep it that way.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Should be an exciting game.

Attention to detail boys. Need to tighten it up

You're not wrong, but in my defense, this is pretty bad.

I sincerely hope he's just nursing Fox and will unleash him in the playoffs but

 

[EEL]

We just need to tighten up the Neutral Zone!!!
A lot!
