The Canucks will bounce back tonight! I see a win for AV...3-2 Canucks. Hansen gets a goal, I feel it.

 

[Karter]

Damn. Was hoping for a Raymond/Shroedy line.

 

[Wheatley]

I thought they played tonight too

 

[EpochLink]

Unleash hell and win for the team, the city and the fan base

Not for that god forsaken piece of gum chewing **** coaching staff..

 

[Crows*]

Another loss

 

[Laterade]

Faq. Thought they were playing tonight.

 

[Nuckles]

Since it's a NW division opponent, we're going to win.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

Might as well just accept we're going to lose this game. We've lost to Calgary and Columbus, may as well just admit that we're finished.

(play along)

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

Predicting a solid road win. Really don't think they've been playing as poorly as everyone is making it seem. Their biggest issue is special teams, 5 on 5 they've generally been the better team. They've had a few days off to work on the PP, let's hope they can pot a few with the extra man and get back on track.

4-2 Canucks.

 

[Addison Rae]

Playing a team that's somewhat relevant? I predict a win. To bad we play Columbus next though

 

[y2kcanucks]

If Minnesota wins against Nashville tonight, tomorrow's game would be for first place. Minnesota could overtake us with the win.

Nux practising PP here in Minny and each time one of the unit screws up, the players drop and do 10 pushups. #willthatwork

Follow up on last tweet: they're approaching triple figures in pushups. #penaltykillersexcused

Wow that's excellent! At the very least our upper body strength will improve. Hopefully we see a goal or two on the PP tomorrow. Any word on the units?

I think it's the same as last game.

Jordan Schroeder still manning point on 1st unit PP with Edler at practice. Hamhuis and Garrison on 2nd unit. #canucks

Probably bad news for those of us hoping Bieksa will be back.

 

[Jyrki]

At this point I'm legitimately watching more Blue Jackets than Canucks games.

I reaaally hope this isn't yet another 2-1 OT loss snoozer

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Nice to see them focus on the PP. I think the biggest issue is coming out of our own end with speed - Edler in particular brings the puck up the ice painfully slowly. Bieksa is probably our best for moving quickly up the ice, but he's still no Ehrhoff.

Secondary to that - shoot the bloody puck.

Hopefully no one busts out a push-up out of habit tomorrow.

Too many boring games, gets hard to watch them

 

[Velociraptor]

How is Raymond on the faceoff dot guys?

terrible

edit : Cory Starting

 

[vector209]

I'm gonna go with the safe choice: another low scoring affair that will either end in OT or the shootout. Winner to be determined.

 

[DustyMartellaughs]

I think the Canucks forfeit when they realize they're facing Bobby OrrSuter and Wayne GretzkyPareeeeeeeeezy.

 

[thepuckmonster]

The name "Par-eezy" make me crazy.

Thank God they're in the Central next year.
