Today is the 14th not the 15th.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I'm betting crazy because I'll miss half of it because of an exam and I always miss the crazy ones.

This. Though I'll go ahead and say it's probably a 2-1 game. Actually 3-1. Empty netter. Not sure which side though.

I was convinced this game was tonight. Who planted this quote in my mind last night? "And the Canucks will play the back end of their final back-to-back of the season tomorrow in Nashville"

Probably John Garrett.

 

[Orca Smash]

Ugh, Andrew Ebbett is centering our 3rd line now?

Now if we could call up Schroeder we would finally have it right.

Agree with this, i was finally excited to see av try kesler on the wing, then i see ebbett is now our 3c, really think he should have used schroeder who has had chemistry with raymond and kassian.

Forward lines confuses av at times.

 

[Dado]

Another non-playoff team. We should smoke 'em.

Yea i am expecting a win, nashville has been bad lately, worse then the avs and flames down the stretch here.

We should have no excuse not to take this by a decent margin. Nashvilles also playing tonight.

wonder if schroeder will be up at the end of the season. he's not the biggest guy so keep him in the minors where he can be a little safer. safer because players are quite as big, or as fast. he's not the right player for a 4th line but he's a better option then a few others filling spots on the nucks right now.
imo for schroeder to succeed in the NHL he needs to be a top 6 forward. 3rd line is where he can slot in now @ center

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I hope Roy and Kesler are lethal tmrw.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Our playoff roster if Roy and Kes stay together.

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows = Sedins and Burr
Kassian-Roy-Kesler = Sick 2nd line
Raymond-Schroeder-Hansen = That speedy Schroeder line
Pinnizzotto-Lapierre-Weise = Energy line (Sestito slows it down)

I like it.

switch kassian and burrows.

 

[Orca Smash]

Ouch nashville is also beat up, bourque, hornqvist, gaustad, mike fisher, colin wilson, all injured, no wonder they are struggling.

Wonder how many of them would be playing if Nashville was in a battle for a playoff spot instead of tankin for mackinnon

 

[Bad News Benning]

Hal Gill is so damn slow. My god it's like watching Dana Murzyn skate with a piano attached to him.

 

[Garth Butcher]

murzyn now that was a pylon. not sure how he lasted so long in the NHL

 

[goodluckchuck]

don't know if starting goalie has been announced...but i think schneider will get the start tomorrow, and luuu will take the second game of the back to back.

You are missing Higgins

 

[just22]

Hmm... Nashville has lost 6 in a row, being shutout 3 times during that streak.

Canucks lose 6-1.

 

[Jyrki]

if we can't beat an ice-cold, injury-riddled, tanking team...

 

[Frankiedarling]

So.... panic if we lose, criticize any winning performance?

Business as usual.

Heading into playoffs in two weeks, after blowing the game vs the avs? Yes criticize if we loose for sure, and they will deserve it.

I gave them a pass for games against avs and flames, I think they had trouble getting up for those games which is really not a good excuse either happening back to back, but hearing how upset the team was for blowing the game vs the avs i am expecting a good performance.

Were two weeks from playoff's I want to see a good team beat a lesser team convincingly to maintain a very important lead in our division (don't want to drop it to minny and get stuck playing the ducks first round). I dont think thats absurd to ask.

Some fans need to understand the difference between panicing after every loss, and not simply being a cheer leader, some of us want this club to be a top contender, not just cheer whatever they put on ice no matter how bad the effort. If this was mid way through an 82 game season I would also be giving them passes if we were on top of our division again, but not right now heading into playoff stretch battling for an important lead in our division.

 

[CP]

I'm still worried that Minnesota will catch the Canucks. Their schedule is soft and after tomorrow the Canucks have it tough and could go into a dive if they are experimenting too much. Clinch the NW and then experiment.

lol sucks to be wrong..
