Perlini hat trick incoming

 

[SniperHF]

Yo this is kinda funny too while I'm here.

Rick Tocchet actually played against the Sedins in their first NHL game:

Vancouver Canucks at Philadelphia Flyers Box Score — October 5, 2000 | Hockey-Reference.com

 

[FinnishCoyote]

I have enjoyed that our team is winning and such, but this is the game i would like to lose. If we win this, we will pass Habs and Nucks in standings

 

[Summer Rose]

Looking forward to watching the Sedins play one final time (I won't be watching Vancouver's game on Saturday; I'll be flipping around between the Coyotes game, probably the Avalanche-Blues game unless the scenario happens where Colorado clinches after game 81, and the NCAA championship game).

 

[Muppet]

You'd expect Vancouver to really show up for this one. As Sauna said, it's certainly not a bad game for us to lose. Perhaps Kuemper should get the start

 

[Matias Maccete]

I've always liked the Sedins, sad to see them go. I wouldn't mind terribly if we lost and they had great games. Or like a 4-3 win with a Daniel hat trick all assisted by Henrik.

On the other hand, I’d love to pass those teams and not be at the bottom of the trash heap. With how much we get shit on, it might be nice to have half of the Canadian teams actually be worse than us. Then again, what does it really matter? If we lose our last two games it’s not going to kill our momentum.

If given the choice, I’d rather beat the Ducks in game 82. They’re the ones who broke Domingue’s brain and caused us that horrendous start to the season to begin with.

 

[SpaceCoyote]

If we lose in regulation we go from worst case 9th to 7th in the draft. I also think there is a decent chance Wahlstrom is still on the board at 7.

 

[Mosby]

Pretty sure the plan is Kuemper today and Uncle Antti on Saturday.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Shout out to the Sedin's.....2 of the most underrated/underappreciated players the NHL has seen. World class on and off the ice.....sad they'll never get a shot at hoisting the Cup.

 

[ck26]

As weird as the Sedins are, they're class acts and great players and they're guys you just sorta associate with the Canucks forever.

On the other hand, I’d love to pass those teams and not be at the bottom of the trash heap. With how much we get **** on, it might be nice to have half of the Canadian teams actually be worse than us.

We can finish ahead of all 7 Canadian teams, but we'll still get **** on until we win a Stanley Cup.

If given the choice, I’d rather beat the Ducks in game 82. They’re the ones who broke Domingue’s brain and caused us that horrendous start to the season to begin with.

+1

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

It's gonna be weird to see the Canucks without any Sedins next year.

I hope the Yotes play a good game here and do well! Let the chips fall where they may, if the Canucks want a win... they gotta earn it more than the Yotes.

 

[IPreferPi]

Kuemper confirmed in net today.

I hope we're losing 4-1 in the second period, someone runs Gibson and yells in his face, and we end up winning 5-4 after that point.

Any confirmation on Strome? I figure there’s at least a decent chance he’s sent down today with Tucson starting the playoffs tomorrow.

 

[ArizonaCoyotes19]

Six years go today was the last time we clinched a playoff spot. While it's mostly gone downhill since then. I haven't been more excited about this team since 2012.

 

[Summer Rose]

Any confirmation on Strome? I figure there’s at least a decent chance he’s sent down today with Tucson starting the playoffs tomorrow.

The Official Website of the Tucson Roadrunners: 2017-18 Schedule

Tomorrow? What's the future like? Are there flying cars by next week?

(Usually I ask @Muppet what the future is like)

 

[MIGs Dog]

Can we send Keller down too?

 

[Summer Rose]

Can we send Keller down too?

Keller is waivers exempt but ineligible for the AHL postseason. There are some exceptions (none for which Keller qualifies) but basically you have to be on the AHL roster at the NHL trade deadline to be eligible for the AHL playoffs.

 

[Tad Mikowski]

so if my math is right, if we lose tonight, we lock up #4 at least, yes?

 

[Dirty Old Man]

so if my math is right, if we lose tonight, we lock up #4 at least, yes?

I think we can still catch DET with a loser point, if they lose to MTL. Wow, big night for spots 3-6 ARI@VAN, MTL@DET, heh.

How about this scenario going into the last day? Montreal wins in regulation, we win in a shootout:

DET-72 (25)
VAN-71 (30)
ARI-71 (27)
MTL-71 (27)

crazy set of circumstances. Thanks for the Clarification. I was talking about regulation loss, should of been more specific. so regulation loss clinches at least 4 for us

Thanks for the good work, but I do suspect Chychrun is out?...

 

[Neighborhood Coyote]

Done for the season I thought since he had to get an MRI on his knee and such like today or so. I haven't heard of results yet but I hope nothing too serious.
