[vadim sharifijanov]

Please fans in attendance make the LUUUUUU's as loud as the 2006-2007 ones.

This guy deserves it.

i guess this may be his last home game ever? yes, he deserves a standing O at the end of the game.

Gillis will be on the team1040 at 12:15, for those of you who care

Thanks bud.

Huh, a fella at my office who has a friend who works for the team ('s trainer's dog's uncle) says it's a legit injury with Schneider :S

Well, hopefully it's resolved in a week.

 

[mightyquack]

Tell Perry to play nice.

I'll tweet Bobby to tell Pears for you

Our forwards are pretty much healthy (though we'll likely call up Shroeder, and maybe some others). Our defense is missing two regulars (Bieksa and Tanev), and also Ballard.

Cheers for the update!

For what it's worth, Anaheim are missing Sbisa and Souray, both are apparently pretty close to coming back though.

Anyway, good luck for the game! And of course, no injuries

I dunno, sounds fishy. How does a dog get an uncle?

Now had he said the team's trainer's BBQ saleman we'd have something solid to go on.

Hey guys, Jets fan from Winnipeg who is a sad panda today lol

I followed Vancouver as passionately as anyone though from the 2002-03 season until the trip to the finals.

Now that the Jets have finally bowed out after a hard season I'm back on the bandwagon.

I thought that last year in the playoffs was the best I had ever seen Henrik play, he seemed to find that level of urgency everyone was logic for. Daniel wasn't quite there but he was also playing concussed (barring the timing of his game 4 return being coincidence)

The only team better than them on paper this year is the Blackhawks so I'm hoping another instalment in this rivalry is coming. Canucks are definitely under the radar this year compared to the last two and hopefully that worksin their favour. Good lucky the rest of the way guys.

I'm thinking of working in the BBQ retail market so I can get insider info.

Probably a minor ache so they put him down as injured. That way he doesn't practice and gets 4 legit days off away from the rink.

TEAM Radio @TEAM1040

Gillis: Schneider "will be fine. See how it is over the next couple days and it should settle down".

TEAM Radio @TEAM1040

Gillis: Tanev will skate in next couple days, and Canucks will see how he feels

TEAM Radio @TEAM1040

Gillis: Bieksa and Ballard may play tomorrow, but more likely on Saturday

I'm sure the majority of us are bummed that there's no Winnipeg White Out this year, too.

Oh well. You're one of us now.

Me confused... You're only one point behind the Rangers and Senators with one game remaining. If you win your last game the Rangers lose both of theirs can't you still squeak in?

Technically possible, but the gods need to be smilling down on Winnipeg.

Jeff Paterson @patersonjeff

Burrows admits #Canucks took a look at what top power plays around #NHL were doing. Made some adjustments. 8PPG in past 10 games

Only took two years! Newell Brown for Jack Adams

It's funny how you have to change it up every two years.

Interesting take on Carcillo's goal last game by Kerry Fraser:

Jeff Paterson @patersonjeff

Video scouting eh? Good one guys, must be a new fad or something around the league.

And welcome aboard the bandwagon bhay1987! Let's hope there's another trip to the finals in store.

 

[Zombotron]

I just tested out the avatar/user title combination I'm going to rock this playoffs, and man, I wish I could do it now, but reason tells me to wait until after Game 48.

 

[Zombotron]

We're the third-best PK team in the West behind Chicago and San Jose. Awesome.

Good to have the PK tuned up heading into the annual "guess the ****ing rules" tournament

Ducks planning to rest Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu vs Nux. Plus Bobby Ryan (ill) out, too. #notbestlineup #canucks

Yippeeee, the Canuck killer isn't playing

I love Selanne though It would have been his last game at the Rog...

Playoffs is a possibility.

Playoffs Selanne?

OT: My boyfriend traded Luongo for Selanne in NHL13. Continue.

I'd rather them rest Perry against us. #dirtyelbows
