[NoShowWilly]

[stuffradio]

It's Friday Friday Canucks going to win on Friday.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

This seems like the perfect game for the Oilers to play spoiler. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

[DCantheDDad]

If they can play like they have the last five games, this one will be easily Vancouver's. I say Canucks by 3.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Gonna say the Nucks lose this one as they are look ahead to the Boston game.

Edmonton fans come in here with posts such as "DY-NASTZZZ", "LOLongo" etc...

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Hopefully the Canucks have their eye on the ball in this game, and not the game coming the following night.

Looking for the Twins to break out of their funk in this one. Wonder how fast the revolving door will be churning on their wing.

What's Anson Carter up to these days?

 

[WetcoastOrca]

The key to the game. Score early and shake the Oilers' confidence and they will fold like a cheap suit. Let them hang around and they could gain confidence and make a game of it.

Hit the young guys like Eberle, Hall, Gagner and RNH at every opportunity. Release the Kassian!

Working at Goodburger.

 

[VanillaCoke]

I'd be surprised if van lost this game. Really surprised.

Oh I'm so sorry, that was last year. Better luck next time! Thanks for playing Pop Culture References.

Back to back CBC games? Interesting...

I wouldn't put it past them.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

100% trap game.

Canucks blow goats and Luongo gets lit up like a Christmas tree.

Board blows up during and after the game.

Torts rips them a new one and they beat the living piss out of Boston Saturday.

 

[Imuzi]

Could not care less about what happens on Friday (no injuries please). It's all about Saturday

2 points is 2 points, and we need 2 points. Edmonton should be a gimme 2 points. I will be tremendously disappointed if the Canucks lose to the Oilers, especially as I live with two Oilers fans.

 

[Phrazer]

So what do you guys think. Lack again Friday? Lack against the Bruins? Or back to back Luongo?

 

[GPNuck]

Going to this game because I love watching the Sedins regain their confidence against the OIL..

They were pretty terrible last night hopefullly after some rest they come out with some Shots<Scoring chances<Goals

6-2 Canucks Lack in goal is my guess

 

[GPNuck]

So what do you guys think. Lack again Friday? Lack against the Bruins? Or back to back Luongo?

i'm not sure but im pretty sure Schneider got the last start against the Bruins so i'm 99% sure they'll give

this start to Luongo, you can bet how bad he wants it!

 

[TruKnyte]

Hoping the Nucks stomp the Oilers. Should play Lack on Friday and Lu against Boston.

 

[Lundface*]

Edmonton has actually been quite good recently so not sure why people are claiming this should be an automatic win.

Give Lack the Boston game. Last thing I'd want to see is them motivated to light up Luongo, put in the goalie they haven't seen.

Also the Sedins need to pick it up. Nice that the team can win without them doing well which is much in part to the play of Santorelli, he's seriously changed the outlook of this team. After the twins he has been the player that drives the play offensively most on this team. What a great story.

 

[Intoewsables]

So what do you guys think. Lack again Friday? Lack against the Bruins? Or back to back Luongo?

With the amount of rest Luongo's going to end up getting here, I imagine they'll go with him both games.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

Of the two games this weekend, this is the more important game. The Boston game, after what would then be a six game winning streak, would be an acceptable and understandable game to drop, but not this game against the Oil. Anyone who's putting more value on the Boston game needs to forget about 2011. They aren't rivals.

That said, we all know which game we're more excited to watch
