Crosby

 

[Pip]

Oh hush you

 

[MrShift4]

I have seriously lowered my expectations for this one

 

[Addison Rae]

Any word on when Burrows is returning?

 

[thepuckmonster]

Win it 4 TPM

 

[Jimson Hogarth*]

I snagged tix! I'm pumped!

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Going to the game.

Fully expect the Pens to be conducting some Happy Feet on the Nucks.

 

[Betamax*]

Crosby

I think this may be the first time that the Golden Kid has come back to their arena where he scored the Golden Goal.

Should the Canucks' acknowledge that with a short video presentation especially in light of the announcement of the 2014 Team Canada Olympics roster on that same day?

I personally think they should erect a statue outside of the Arena commemorating that Golden Moment. Who here agrees?

 

[Solidius]

I fully expect us to be thrashed but since I expect that perhaps we won't?

 

[EpochLink]

Finally a team who isn't bigger than us on the front 9

Canucks/Penguins should be closer

blowout loss probably

 

[MikeK]

5 - 1 Pens

 

[Love]

Any word on Luongo?

 

[Evidence]

The Canucks could be without Burrows, Higgins, Kassian, Schroeder, Edler, Stanton, Alberts, Luongo. I just hope they can keep it competitive and avoid any more injuries.

 

[Addison Rae]

People are vastly overrating the Pens.

 

[MikeK]

The Canucks could be without Burrows, Higgins, Kassian, Schroeder, Edler, Stanton, Alberts, Luongo. I just hope they can keep it competitive and avoid any more injuries.

Why even list Schroeder? The kid is on the roster by default because of his contract and really hasn't done a thing to deserve being mentioned with the rest.

 

[Nuckles]

Any word on Luongo?

https://twitter.com/tsnjamesduthie/status/420311633055854592

Early indications are Luongo ankle injury not serious. Walking without limp. MRI fine. But Canucks still waiting on specialist's word.

TSN injury report says Hank is questionable for Tuesday. Anyone have any info?

 

[DennisReynolds]

I don't see Kassian's name there so I'd imagine it's a typo.

If not, we're screwed

Maybe they missed spelled Hank with Zack? I don't know where Sedin got injured.

According to:

http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/...feat+Canucks+final+seconds/9352209/story.html

He visited with Ducks doctors after the game.

And then Canuck captain Henrik Sedin, who scored once Sunday and matched brother Daniel's three-point night, visited the Ducks' doctors after the game. Presumably, it wasn't for a flu shot.

Remember someone (was it an insider?) suggested that an integral player was playing through an injury? Well well...
