Also, Oettinger is week-to-week so we're getting Wedgewood today.

I don’t like playing against other teams backup but maybe this years different

 

[Flik]

Winning this one feels greedy for some reason.....

I'm very greedy. Win it!

Would like to see Kuz in for PDG but I'm guessing Tocch saw the team play well so he can say he won't change a winning lineup. Other than the handling of Kuz and not benching Myers when he has multiple giveaways in a game I have agreed with Tocch almost across the board. This isn't an anti Rick thing, I just think he's mishandling the situation. Kuzmenko, unlike Myers before, isn't actively losing us games by assisting opposition goals etc and is a guy who we need to get going so the top 6 is coherent and has enough talent when it matters.

I'll be in Winnipeg tomorrow for the Christmas break, so I'll probably catch the second period going forward.

Much as I felt the Canucks usually play well in Nashville, I feel like it’s a very mixed bag with Dallas. We either have a strong win or a demoralizing loss with very little in between. Just going off memory.

Hoping it’s a strong win - if we play the whole game like we played in Nashville, I like our chances.

This is what happens when I don't make the thread. I get all confused.

[Tables of Stats]

We've scored 5 or more 11 times this season. That's 1/3rd of our games. Then add in the 7 games where we've scored 4 goals and we're scoring 4+ in over 50% of our games.

We have had 2 losing streaks in Dallas. 6 straight losses between 2014-2017. Had a 0-4 losing streak pre-2007 where Marty Turco seemed to be unbeatable in Dallas.

Otherwise...been pretty even.

Also, Brett Hull was totally in the crease.

If the Canucks play like they did last night , they have a good chance of beating the Stars.

Canucks kicked it up a notch last game..You have to be impressed by the way they kept their composure early in the hockey game..Knowing that if they adhere to their system, eventually, the breaks will go their way...They're not rattled, its a team that has matured.

Last nights game was one of the best Canuck road games I've seen in many years.

Couple weeks ago some poster commenting about the over/under of us winning 4 games before Christmas Break, I said I would take the over

We are 4-0-1 since that comment

3 games left I want 6 points baby let’s get GREEDY

 

[strattonius]

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if we won the President's Trophy and I understand that's a serious mistake on my part but I can't help it.

Last time I saw this meme we were like 20 points out of the playoffs and had to win out to even have a chance.

Context is a wonderful thing.

 

[platotld]

Hoping for this kinda reation after the game im looking for... smash em 10 to 1

My favourite Vancouver-Dallas moment outside the 4OT win


Bieksa even has a picture of it on his wall to go with his Pearl Jam book.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Ah, memories.

 

[hellstick]

Ah, memories.

God dammit, that was over 15 years ago now.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Ah, memories.

I WAS THERE!!!!!

incredible experience
