Havlet and Gomez playing next game?

 

[ValidVick*]

Schroeder may replace Ebbett???? YES!

 

[Henrik To Daniel]

We don't have as good of a prospect pool as the Pens and can't afford to deal them. Simple stuff

Once again, terrible asset management by Mike Gillis and co.

Pittsburgh has been a top team for a number of years just like the Canucks, yet they still draft well with later picks and can afford to make them expendable for playoff runs.

 

[Pip]

Schroeder may replace Ebbett???? YES!

Reunite Raymond/Schroeder/Hansen please!

 

[Henrik To Daniel]

I kindly request that the picture of that plug Bieksa be removed from the OP and be replaced with someone more suitable... such as Luongo

 

[deadinthewater]

One game at a time, boys. One game at a time.

 

[Fat Tony]

Indeed.

 

[Ozone]

Schroeder may replace Ebbett???? YES!

@FarhanLaljiTSN2h
Schneider, Schroeder, Tanev all on trip. Tanev still in walking boot.

 

[maroon 6]

Sedins decide whether we win or not.

 

[Grumbler]

We have won 1 of our last 9 playoff games. Please win 1 game.

 

[M A K A V E L I*]

Kelser should do one of those Toews "expose them for what they are" interviews.

 

[NuxFan09]

Sedins decide whether we win or not.

Yep. If they don't show up tomorrow, Canucks are done. They have a chance here to prove they can actually step up. So let's see it, Hank and Danny. Are you winners or are you losers?

 

[deadinthewater]

Has anyone been to a playoff game this year? That photograph/audio tribute they had before the game started was ****ing incredible. The projector showed freeze frames of Linden, Bure, Naslund, Henrik, proceeded by pictures of the 2011 run with the commentating in the back. It almost had me in tears... yeah, I'm pretty sappy.

5 straight home losses... Advantage eh?

Nvm, 6. Game 7 2011...

 

[Vankiller Whale]

For the love of God don't put Edler and Bieksa together again.

 

[RDRR]

The opposite of my predictions doesn't keep happening.

I am not predicting the opposite of what will happen.

The Canucks will lose very badly.

The first two lines are not predictions and I am not saying the opposite of what I want to happen.

 

[CherryToke]

hopefully we get blown out so this garbage can be over and AV can be gone

You can watch it here from an overhead angle at 1:17:



This year's Streets entrance is terrific. I especially like how the organist and guitarist play the opening portion live. It gives the arena a very unique atmosphere.

And Edmonton will be able to do the same (success wise we'll see) with their assets. Why... BECAUSE THEY SUCKED A$$ for almost a decade and have numerous 1st round draft picks on their roster.

When you have Crosby, Malkin, Fleury, Staal (now dealt) you can afford to trade your later picks.

 

[deadinthewater]

Besides the Sedins, some other guys that need to step up (and have been invisible): Raymond, Roy, Higgins. This is basically the second line, is it not?

Awesome! Thanks. First playoff game I have ever been to, and it was terrific (except for the result).

 

[MrShift4]

Let's hope bs reffing calls don't kill our momentum. I am still pretty ticked at that Garrison crosschecking call.

 

[Zejono]

If the sedins absolutely do nothing in this game, then when their contracts are up they should be offered 4- 4.5 mill and if they dont like it then walk.

 

[mossey3535]

Score three goals. Problem solved.
