let start winning again please

 

[Grumbler]

Not looking forward to this one. We are playing a desperate team on their home ice which is usually ends up being a loss due to our guys not playing for 60 minutes.

Pretty much.

Zero chance we win this game.

 

[Peen]

Disagree.

Philly's top 9 looks weak without harty and lecavelier.

If we can get production from kesler and Henrik to match Philly's strength down the middle, we should win.

I think we should be very hungry coming off of two losses, and this being the first game of the roadtrip.

 

[Addison Rae]

We're gonna win.

yep Giroux has not been producing and Mason is crap....the team will be angry after two blowout

 

[Jack Tripper]

steve mason has been the team's best player so far...pretty much tells the story of that team early in the season

 

[earl grey]

4-1 Flyers. Poor Torts has to re-teach the game of hockey to these floaters going to take a while.

 

[canuck4life16]

We're gonna win.

of course we gong to win so the negative will disappear

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I'll be boldly optimistic and say if Hamhuis players. This will be his best game.

I mean, it can't get any worse, right?

 

[arttk]

hoping Kassian will play with the Sedins for the whole game.

 

[canuck4life16]

hoping Kassian will play with the Sedins for the whole game.

maybe but I hoping the lines is change because they are not clicking and twins should be split as that might help

 

[canucksfan]

hoping Kassian will play with the Sedins for the whole game.

I really think Torts will keep Kassian on the third line until he earns top six minutes.

 

[arttk]

I really think Torts will keep Kassian on the third line until he earns top six minutes.

I think Kass will develop his game better if he plays with the Sedins. I am not sure how well he will perform considering the center is Brad Richardson. I know it is popular to ***** about his performance last game but I am not really sure how many times he got the puck from his center last game.

exactly, not really going to develop with a plug as a center........really need schroeder back

 

[LightningBurrows]

Having Burrows out really cripples this team a lot more than some realize, his chemistry with the Sedins and Kesler is so valuable.

Since the Sedins are the only ones producing, maybe try putting Daniel with Kesler for this game and see how it goes? Daniel on his own is a great playmaker.

D. Sedin-Kesler-Hansen
Santorelli-H. Sedin-Kassian
Higgins-Richardson-Booth
Sestito-Dalpe-Weise

 

[Derp Kassian]

Pretty crazy how far off both of these teams have fallen off since their respective cup runs.

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

the only thing i care about this game is kesler scores without Sedin's help b.c he's in my pool
but i ahve a feeling he wont..

 

[604]

Pretty much.

Zero chance we win this game.

We can win. The Flyers have terrible goalies.

Pretty crazy how far off both of these teams have fallen off since their respective cup runs.

I'd suggest that the Flyers have really fallen off, especially given the fact that they missed the playoffs last year. I think the demise of the Canucks has been greatly exaggerated.

 

[deadinthewater]

Pretty crazy how far off both of these teams have fallen off since their respective cup runs.

Well the Flyers were an eighth seed or something the year they went to the Finals. They got into the playoffs on the last day of the regular season, on a shootout win.

 

[Pip]

Won't be able to catch this game which is too bad, I love the Flyers and was pretty excited for it. Not going to bother PVRing it considering I know it'll get ruined for me.

 

[canuck4life16]

Don't know why some fans consider a auto loss already why support if you think we lose disgusted

 

[David71]

gonna lose this one.. what's the point of having dalpe in the lineup if he's gonna play 3 mins a game? might as well slot in alberts. for forward position

 

[Wilch]

Canucks need to win this one. It's against a struggling team which recently had its head coach fired and is missing two veterans.
