[David71]

[ShouldveDraftedFiala]

Make it 11

 

[Nuckles]

so not on channal 22.?

I don't think so. On Canucks.com it's listed as Sportsnet Vancouver while other games are listed as Sportsnet Pacific

 

[NuxFan09]

If the Canucks can get an all world performance out of Luongo and their special teams are clicking, they can hand the Sharks their first loss of the season. That being said, this Sharks team is a well oiled machine right now and I can't imagine even the most positive of fans would expect the Canucks to win.

Looking forward to it, all the same. The Canucks will give them their stiffest challenge yet this season, that I am pretty confident in.

 

[DennisReynolds]

can't stop Hertl and his greatness.

 

[How Ya Drouin]

Can't wait to see the Hertl.

Let's just hope he doesn't net 5

 

[Fairweather]

I'm at this game. First game in forever and it might end up being a stomp-fest

 

[TLinden]

That bottom 6.. everytime I see the lines posted I shudder

Fedorov just un-retired. Gillis should give him a call.

 

[Wetcoaster]

can't stop Hertl and his greatness.

Just give him a little tap on the ankle like Bobby Clarke did to Valeri Kharlamov in the 1972 Summit Series. Problem solved.

 

[Jyrki]

I hope we don't get destroyed again.

Just have to make sure it's intentional and a two-hander and you'll get off easy.

Also:

I copied + pasted Mr.C's pre-game from last game. Fixed it now

 

[PhilMick]

Gotta get rough with them.

 

[Saturated Fats]

We're gonna need to jump a few Hertl's to win this one; it isn't going to be easy, and it might Hertl a bit, but if we Hertl a Hertl, we can Hertl Hertl Hertl, Santorelli Santorelli Hertl.

Gotta be careful we don't get Burns'd like last time.

TSN's on the line, they want to offer you a job.

A little tap.

It better be Sestito that does the "tap".

 

[Saturated Fats]

TSN's on the line, they want to offer you a job.

Thanks but, I really just wanted a cake...

 

[PhilMick]

Gotta be careful we don't get Burns'd like last time.

He's really been dangerous since his conversion to Wingels.

 

[tc 23]

He's really been dangerous since his conversion to Wingels.

Indeed, quite the Thornton on our side.

 

[PhilMick]

Indeed, quite the Thornton on our side.

I might need a whole bottle of Marleau to make it through this game.

 

[Wetcoaster]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Hertl???

 

[King of the ES*]

I know that the Sharks are "sooo hot" right now, but I would not be surprised to see the Canucks win this game at all.

I refuse to consider the Sharks as an elite team until they show an ability to have success away from home. Last year, they were total dogs away from their arena, which is a pretty big sign of weakness, at least for me.

That said, if the Canucks do end up winning tomorrow night, I shudder to think of the hype-train that will surely follow. Don't get too excited, guys, the Sharks on the road is really not too hard a matchup.
