Pre-Game Talk: GM 34: Vancouver Canucks vs. Edmonton Oilers - Dec 13 - CBC - 6:00PM PST

[Wetcoaster]

Luongo has to play the Broons.

Something something redemption something.

Just as long as Shawn Thornton does not light up Luongo.

Oilers are a bad team, but if you take them for granted they can burn you and score in bunches. I know Boston is a statement game, but winning the divisional matchup is arguably more important. Give Luongo the Oilers start, and if they can keep it south of 20 shots against, go with Luongo vs Boston too. If Luongo gets a lot of work, Torts will probably be tempted to throw Lack in against Boston.

Why would he be tempted to throw in lack if lu gets lots of shots? Lu tends to get on a roll when he faces lots of shots. He's already had quite a few days of rest.

I just hope the Canucks don't pack it in against the Oilers waiting for the Boston game as I paid $360 for two tickets when I wasn't aware Boston was in town the next night... FML

Oh well i predict a Sedin Bounce back game and Luongo shootout! (intentional jinx)

 

[Orca Smash]

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...

Could happen, boston is certainly the more appealing team.

Smh, well for your sake I hope they put on a good show. I'd be pissed if that somehow happened to me lol.

why is this on cbc

IT'S FRIDAY THE 13TH!!!

Oilers stay far away from the Edmonton assassin Kassassin.

why is this on cbc

There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

Perfect answer!

I like to take advantage of any chance to absorb more wisdom from Healy and Stock so I welcome two days in a row of fantastic CBC coverage.

The wit and wisdom of PJ Stock - one can never get enough.

 

[Orca Smash]

We could be winning 6-0 and pj will still not like something about our game and focus on it.

Probably offensive Dman Garrison's failure to lug the puck up ice and score off the rush.

 

[Grumbler]

Not going to hear too many good things from CBC about our team. Probably mostly going to hear about how good of a team the bruins are and how the future is looking bright for the Oilers, etc...and we will still be criticized somewhere...doesn't matter if we win both games.

 

[dave babych returns]

Hopefully the players are more focused on Friday's game vs. the Edmonton Oilers than many of the fans.

 

[HiggsBroson]

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

Haha wish I didn't read that. Now
It's ingrained in my brain.

I've said this before but one great thing about HNIC moving away from CBC - there's always the chance the Bruins ****-******* will be out of a job. Well, aside from Cherry.....

 

[Vankiller Whale]

I would start Lack against Edmonton. I think it makes the most sense. He's coming off a shutout and it lets Luongo take the tougher matchup.

 

[sk8er]

Aaaaaarrrrrggghhh....two nights of stupid p.j.(is that short for pajamas?) stock? And Healey also? Oh crap.........really?

This is precisely why they invented the 'Mute' button for PJ moments.
I've always wondered if PJ wears those adult diapers during the hockey broadcasts as well.
As he says: "I can't even tell that I have them on."

I added the Saturday post a few posts later because I was told it was so last year. So, she just came out with a new song this month I think called Saturday. It doesn't sound like Friday, but it doesn't matter to me!

A few years ago I would have lamented the end of HNIC on CBC but it went downhill in so many regards. I'll never forget the crap they pulled in 2011.

Dem young guns r jus' learnin' da game, they gon b good in a coupla yers

Luongo should not play against Boston. 2 points against Edmonton are just as good as 2 points against Boston. Since winning against Edmonton is theoretically easier, Luongo should play in that game. He has nothing to gain by playing Boston. This "rivalry" is dead unless they meet up again in the SCF.
