GDT: Game 7: Canucks @ Flyers - 4 PM PST | SNET-P

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I say 4-2 Canucks! Game time 15 mins to go! I hope the Canucks can find their identity tonight.

Torts is doing what AV wouldn't have done: start Schroeder on any line but the 4th. What a breath of fresh air. Hopefully that line has some success tonight.

Links folks? Just ATDHE and take yer chances?

Schroeder started on the 4th line exactly 5 times in 33 games last year.

Vigneault used him consistently on the 2nd/3rd lines for most of the season, with large amounts of PP time. His icetime was nearly identical to that of Brendan Gallagher, who nearly won the Calder.

You keep repeating this total falsehood despite having been corrected on it multiple times. I'm not sure what's so hard to get.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Bleh I forgot how much I hate early starts, but I'll trade it for October hockey any day.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Remember that PPV game a few years back that ended 8-2 against Philly?

Yeah, this sucker bought that game... *facepalm*

Ugh that was a bad team.

And wow, Schroeder back in really helps our depth.

I have a funny feeling I'll be eating crow shortly.

Hope for the best. Everyyear for the past 5 there is reasons to doubt Vancouver is a good team. The past two playoffs one could make the arguement they are not really contenders however for them to miss the playoffs with the same core that has produced the last 5 seasons would be a surprise. I doubt that happens with the Sedins in the lineup. The last 5 years the Canucks have had alot a d man injuries, injuries to core forwards Daniel and Kesler but they still find ways to win. The media is leading the charge about the team's decline and i do think without Raymond and Schneider the regular season team is a bit weaker. I hope the team surprises everyone with a good road trip to show they may not be a top contender but they are still a pretty good team overall.

 

[Oddity]

Is the broadcast messed up or is my cable box taking a ****

Anyone have a reliable stream? I have class during this game. So, I'll pay lots of attention to the prof. ... nicht.

Well, he was 10th among Canucks forwards in average ice-time per game last season...so, at best, he was on the 3rd line/4th line cusp?

I bet you'll just love the two or three games we'll be playing at 10am.

Hope this doesn't sound pessimistic, but I hope they surprise themselves to prove they are a good team overall.

 

[Royal Canuck]

We lost 4-1 to the Flyers last time we played them, right?

I just remember JVR lighting up Lu.

On the Saturdays? ****. I have work that day. First time I've been able to say that about the Canucks ever I think. Or maybe second. Who knows.

 

[Saturated Fats]

4th line looks a bit more appropriate with Sestito/Richardson/Weise. Will look even more appropriate when Burrows returns and it's Kassian/Richardson/Weise.

5-4. Giroux was lighting us up.

Early start. Skipping pre-midterm studying nap for this. We better win!

He was 8th amongst forwards in average TOI. I'm not counting Roy because they were never on the roster at the same time.

He played more than Booth, for one.

 

[Addison Rae]

Game time!

 

[Nuckles]

I like how their winger's name is pronounced "rofl"
ROFL

 

[tc 23]

Raffl sounds like rofl.

Edit: Nuckles beat me to it.

Do we rofl when he scores on Luongo?

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Good start and good shift so far!

 

[Royal Canuck]

Good pressure early.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Yikes

 

[Zack Kassian]

knee?
