Pre-Game Talk: GAME #5 - Canucks @ Sharks - "BARF!"

[Nuckles]

I'm actually hoping the Sharks light up the Avs. It will make them cocky and make stupid mistakes when they play us.

The same could apply to us.
We just won a game 5-0.

 

[Lemurion]

But at least we're not on the tail end of a back-to-back in different cities; so hopefully we have time for the cocky to wear off.

That and because it was a special teams victory, there may be less cockiness to start with.

You could argue that the sharks are having one as well, took the lead on the PP and have 3 PPG I believe

 

[canuck4life16]

Look at that 1st PP: Marleau, Thornton, Couture, Pavelski, Boyle

who on their second PP..........wow scary and dangerous

 

[Pip]

who on their second PP..........wow scary and dangerous

Gomez

and he's looking good...

 

[Jabba The Hutton]

who on their second PP..........wow scary and dangerous

Gomez, Havlat, and Clowe, still pretty good

 

[Fork]

sharks cant win forever

 

[Nuck Bonino]

Nucks have to make sure they stay out of the box

 

[LiquidSnake]

Expect about 3 early SJ PPs, followed by a ton if we get ahead. Like clockwork in that building. No team gets as many homer calls except maybe Minny

 

[Catamarca Livin]

I agree. Over our first few games I have been increasingly frustrated with Edler on the PP. Although he's played well, it almost seems like he is using Garrison as a decoy to give himself more opportunities at goal. We have to use Garrison as our Salo of we want him to be productive, and at the moment the Sedins+Edler seem reluctant to feed him the puck. Hopefully this changes with time.

Why are people complaining about the pp? Did i miss a game since the Anaheim game where they scored 3 pp goals. Edler has 2 pp goals already. I know we all think we are experts but putting your best pp players on the first unit seems pretty common. Other teams know they need to take Garrison away leading to more space for everyone else. I do not care in Garrison ever scores a goal as long as the pp is in the top 5 in the league.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I think the Sharks are going to come out hard in the first - they'll have a lot of adrenaline from having played tonight. Weathering the early storm is going to be a key to victory in this game.

I usually felt like the red wings, and hawks got a ton of homer calls in those buildings.

 

[Pip]

If Schneider can hold us down through the first, I will tell very confident about this game. Expect to see the Sharks come out flying

I agree. The first will be huge for us. On a back to back game I expect the Sharks to run out of gas some time in the 3rd so if we can survive the first wave we should be OK.

 

[Gargyn]

when is Kesler expected back? that will be a huge lift.

 

[coastin*]

Start Luongo and save Schneider for the Kings. Lu always plays good against the sharks.

 

[June 2007]

When Kes and Booth are back I'd love to see

Sedins- Kassian
Booth Kes Higgins
Raymond Schroeder Burrows
Lapierre Malhotra Hansen


Three lines that can score, but still are very reliable defensively and can play in any situation. Then the fourth line (basically a second third line) can either be the checking line or take a regular rotation. I think its pretty good balance all around.

Schneids has had some really solid games vs them too.

 

[Zombotron]

Unknown, though he's expected to start skating with the team soon, according to GMMG.

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

I hate the Sharks because everyone in the stands makes more money than me, even the kids. Hell, especially the kids.

Sharks rink is one of the worst that I have been to as well. Super steep upper bowl, if you lean an inch forward you're screamed at, lousy concourse etc. The fans themselves are meatheads...

Really didn't enjoy going to games there when I lived in California...

 

[Bgav]

Schroeder with his first nhl goal!

 

[Smokey McCanucks]

San Jose is playing well, playing physical, scoring lots and their PP is clicking. The Canucks have gotten better with every game they've played. We'll need that trend to continue if we're gonna get the W against the Sharks. Should be a good one!

 

[KirbyDots]

We're ready for ya! I made this years ago.

 

[PG Canuck]

Oh, I cannot wait until Kes and Booth are back because I feel we'll be a force if Schroeder stays as a 3C with Raymond on that third line. Having Kesler is huge in so many aspects of our game.
