[PG Canuck]

Canucks win with their eyes closed.

 

[maroon 6]

Henrik Sedin the goon will throw a huge hit on Sidney Crosby which will take Crosby out for the whole year. Daniel Sedin will do the same to Malkin. Garrison will shave Letang's head. Luongo will score a hat trick on Fleury.


Just please win?

 

[Zanon]

Hope we don't see this happen again. Is Luongo for sure gonna start?

 

[Mutagenesis]

Seriously conflicted on how to bet my Vcash.

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Hopefully Lack starts.

 

[Wolfhard]

Hope Luongo starts. A bit worried about the early game, but Luongo's been coddled enough in the past. Time to man up and play your game, regardless of the start time, or days off, or what happened last game, etc.
Mental and physical toughness. Show us you've got it, Lu!

 

[tantalum]

My guess at the outcome...


Borderline hits on Crosby and Malkin result in the NHL suspending the entire canucks organization for 10 games.

 

[B4NND1T*]

If lack starts against the deadliest offensive team in the NHL........

 

[Tanevian*]

Seriously conflicted on how to bet my Vcash.

Pssst, it's not real.

 

[stuffradio]

Pssst, it's not real.

That's what they want you to believe...

 

[DennisReynolds]

Lu plays this game and Lack gets the Columbus game.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

going with a loss on this one. wonder if torts splits up the twins and Kes

And Canucks forced to trade for Steckl so they can punish him retroactively.

I think we'll need to have 2 lines to deal with Malkin/Crosby.

Hopefully Playoff Fleury starts against November Luongo!!

 

[maroon 6]

If lack starts against the deadliest offensive team in the NHL........

The same team that managed just 2 goals in a playoffs series?

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Hatrrick 5-2 win

 

[Nuckles]

The thing I'm mostly worried about is waking up in time.

 

[Karl Hungus]

I think the Canucks keep the tight play going and it's a low scoring affair. Penguins probably take it 2-1 or 3-2.

 

[Imuzi]

Liverpool V. Newcastle, then City V. West Ham, then the Canucks, then the Whitecaps.

I might not have to leave the couch for 14 hours tomorrow

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

I support Liverpool and dad supports West Ham; big day tomorrow.

Hoping the Whitecaps can play like they did in Seattle and pull out a win.

Canucks playing an early game, on the East Coast against Pitt is a game I don't expect them to win. If they get a point out of it I'd be happy.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

3-2 PIT win in OT

2 goals each from D.Sedin and Crosby

 

[NoShowWilly]

would like to see daniel with kesler tomorrow.

Hank on his own. see what happens.

Sedin Kesler Santorelli
Higgins Sedin Hansen
Booth Schroeder Kassian
Sestito Richardson Weise

forfeit any and all draft picks ever. somehow calgary now owns them... how did that happen, brian?

 

[Catamarca Livin]

I think the Canucks will play well as they seem to always play well against Pittsburgh in the last few years. Hopefully no Canucks injuries as the last two games i remember was Luongo and Mitchell going out. I think there is a good chance Pittsburgh does not get up for this game, while Vancouver is very forcused.
Edler coming back is a good thing so our 6 d are all good. I think the third pair of Stanton/Tanev is as good defensively as the other pairs. Chicago managed to help our team this year. I do not know when i have been as happy with our defense except for the start of the cup run playoffs.
Maybe the team thinks Santorelli is better defensively at the moment than Kesler, if so they might as well keep the lines the same. As Kesler is an elite winger but has not looked elite at center in a while. Still early to judge Santorelli but might as well see what we have early. It seems like madness that he could be a second line center but he has played like a top six player this year. Kesler's production recently has been largely on the PP and he has not been shutting anyoneelse down so maybe Torts is right. Though still happy he is giving it to Santo and not Schoeder or Hodgson
