Canucks better win this. Absolutely no excuse not to.

 

[Nuckles]

Roy is playing with Higgins and Hansen.

Roy get a goal in first 5 minutes on the PP.....

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Roy is playing with Higgins and Hansen.

I was thinking the lines might change with the impending return of Kassian, but I could be wrong.

 

[BrandonL]

We may as well just call this game the Derek Roy show.

Welcome to the Vancouver microscope - You aren't in Dallas or Buffalo anymore.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

This is the first time in a while that our forward group isn't half comprised of AHLers.

Canucks had better win by more than 3 goals, or I won't be happy.

 

[Jack Tripper]

can't wait until kesler is healthy so i never have to watch andrew ebbett play center for the canucks again

Wasn't he in our playoff line-up last year? Ick.

 

[polarbearcub]

Going to the game. I expect a win. Edmonton plays tonight. Roy's debut. I'm actually very excited to see Roy. Also really happy kass was called back up.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

If Roy does 1/6th of what Clowe and Brassard have done in 2 periods in NYR i'll be excited.

Isn't NYR's roster all healthy? Tough to demand much from Roy, especially in his first game, and especially when we're missing so many guys.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Excited for Roy!

 

[Dain Bramaged]

Again, no Ballard? Is there some sort of rule that at least $4 million needs to be in the presser/bench? ($9 million, with Luongo included )

Ballard is injuried

 

[Dain Bramaged]

Ballard is injuried

Phew. At least they aren't willingly scratching him when he's healthy, like they did before

 

[Grumbler]

Kind of want Edmonton to win and take 8th seed. They seem to play well against the hawks.

I went into their own forum and told them that I was hoping to see the same thing.

It'd be such wild end-to-end hockey...

 

[Orca Smash]

Is schneider starting confirmed?

Now that the decision has been made to keep lou for now I would give him this game, he needs to be involved somewhat again.

 

[Vankiller Whale]

So that's why the team didn't show up last time we played them...

AV deserves a lot more credit than we give him.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I hope Roy makes a big impact in this game and if he does boy is this team ever going to be dangerous when Kesler is back. I hope Kesler does well in the playoffs.

HOW DARE YOU WISH A LOSS ON US

Nothing is confirmed at this stage; mid-tomorrow morning would be my guess. But barring something unforeseen, I'd expect Schneider to start.

Roy hatty !
