Pre-Game Talk: GM 24: Vancouver Canucks @ Minnesota Wild - March 10 - 5:00PM PST - SPAC

[Royal Canuck]

Just win, please.

 

[Samzilla]

Well, Minnesota just beat Nashville. Step 1 of "what's the worst that could happen?" is complete. Step 2 is "be out of a playoff spot" by the end of tomorrow.

I hope it happens so it wakes up management and hopefully the team by association but knowing the Canucks, it will do the opposite.

 

[Pip]

Confident we will win this one and that Booth gets a goal. Go Canucks!

Would we be out of a playoff spot? Everyone from spots 3-8 basically have the same amount of points, and many of them have 2+ games played than us.

seriously doubt we would be out of a playoff spot we would be tied with a lot of teams

 

[Wizeman*]

Canucks will have had 3 days to think about the loss to the Jackets. I think they can win tomorrow.

That's not possible tomorrow even if the Wild win in regulation.

 

[TruGr1t]

Even if we miss playoffs management line will be "it was a shortened season.. Injuries and unpredictable."

 

[EpochLink]

Oh boy

Look at those standings

 

[Shareefruck]

I think I would prefer to see

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen
Booth - Higgins - Kassian

instead

 

[Pip]

yes please

Agreed. why not go back to something that was clicking before?

 

[Pip]

Agreed. why not go back to something that was clicking before?

would make too much sense for AV to actually implement it. Expect Weise on the second line and Schroeder on the fourth

NOTES

Barker's first career hat trick...Hamhuis, Edler and Garrison benched in the third period due to poor play...Tanev hits three posts...Canucks' second period slumps comes to an abrupt end...

 

[Fel 96]

Will Barker play tomorrow night?

 

[Steve Bennett*]

Will Barker play tomorrow night?

If the price is right...

 

[Fel 96]

Good one. Ha.

 

[deadinthewater]

Are we really going to ride the rest of the season with Raymond/Lapierre/Shroeder down the middle?

 

[luongo321]

I think I would prefer to see

Sedin - Sedin - Burrows
Raymond - Schroeder - Hansen
Booth - Higgins - Kassian

instead

I was thinking that for a few days as well. Put Higgins at centre.

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

Are we really going to ride the rest of the season with Raymond/Lapierre/Shroeder down the middle?

Bro, best 2-4 line centers in the league.

 

[Reign Nateo]

I don't think AV is too excited about the C depth either...

 

[Taelin]

Will Barker play tomorrow night?

You know he'll play! He'll play on crutches!

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Will Barker play tomorrow night?

For the love of all that's good and righteous, we hope not. To be fair to Barker, he wasn't quite as pillow-chewingly bad as he was the first couple of games, but he's still a hell of a long way from good.

------------------------------------

And please guys, just win.

 

[deadinthewater]

You know he'll play! He'll play on crutches!

Can't wait for those glorious passes that lead to point blank chances for the opposition.
