Nice thing is you can expect us to be competitive.
Get out of the first 5mins... find a groove, win the special teams battle.
Demko v Binnington...

Wonder how they decide to matchup... probably O’Reilly v Pettersson.

St.L’s first home game after a one week 4 gm roadie where they lost the last two. Binnington has looked meh so far.

They should be due for good performance. We are on a good roll.
Can’t wait to see how it plays out.

This will be an interesting measuring stick even if it is only a handful of games into a new season. Looking forward to see how this Canucks roster stacks up to the defending champs.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Looking forward to this game..Canucks are relatively healthy (enjoy it while it lasts)..Hopefully Demko plays a solid game (he had a great game in St Louis in April).

 

[Cucumber]

Hopefully the team builds on the win and Ferland gets onto the score sheet!

4-0
Boeser
Horvat
Petersson
Myers

 

[LordBacon]

Gaudette gets in and scores 3 points,
Virty gaudette and myers with the goals.
Demko gets his first(?) shutout.

 

[VanJack]

Cotta' feeling we're going see a breakout game from Hughes.....he'll be a load for the Blues forwards to handle rushing the puck into the offensive zone. Hoping for something like 5-3 Canucks.....but Demko will be busy and will definitely need to have better rebound control than the last game against the Wings.

 

[DL44]

Looking forward to watching Dunn...

 

[Zombotron]

Bonne chance. Go get 'em. I heard Tim Schaller wasn't a dumpster fire against Detroit? I want more of that Tim Schaller

 

[82Ninety42011]

Let's show the league the home stand was for real grind out a 2-1 victory I'm happy !!

 

[Bougieman]

Bonne chance. Go get 'em. I heard Tim Schaller wasn't a dumpster fire against Detroit? I want more of that Tim Schaller

I thought it was an annomolly when he played really well against the Flyers, and then he goes and has an even more impressive looking showing against the Wings. Not on the scoresheet mind you, but just out there doing all the right things -- playing the right way. Schaller might just have actually started playing for the Canucks, finally. I'll be sure of it if he is a difference maker against the Blues. We'll see.

 

[M2Beezy]

Time for guys like Schaller Sutter Myers Etc to show that their last few games where they played good against bad teams is a trend here to stay this year even against the good teams

That been said I think we lose this one 3-1, our goal by Horvat

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Win or lose, I just hope Horvat bumps his slump. Want him to get going in a big way.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

You got to think the Canucks have got this one circled on the calendar for a while now. Stanley Cup champions....time to prove you belong in the post season by measuring up against the team that in the last 20 years have proved that anything can happen if you make the playoffs. The boys are gonna show up to this one no matter what, I don't know how the bounces are gonna go, what calls the refs are gonna make or how the hockey gods are gonna favour the teams but we are certainly showing up to play

5-4 final

Petey 2
Boeser 1
Edler 1
Motte 1

 

[alicia]

Pete and Boes eat the Blues for breakfast.

6-1 Canucks

2x Pettersson
1x Boeser
1x Hughes
1x Horvat
1x Miller

Ah finally, Canucks hockey on 2 day intervals now. Excited for this one

Over under for total goals scored by both clubs:

5.5

what are you taking?

 

[thekernel]

Trap game for St Louis, sitting pretty after a productive road trip, two day's rest before kicking off a well-spaced home stand. They have every reason to feel comfortable heading into tonight's game. So the question for us becomes, what does our road mettle looks like?

 

[vadim sharifijanov]

i'm enjoying this new "six forty nine" nickname for our top line

still lost in those eyes

 

[PG Canuck]

Time to see what Demko is made of

[Canuckle1970]

End of last season, Petey beat Binnington with a slap shot, so he knows it can be done. As others have posted, the Stanley Cup champs will be a good test for the team. The Blues are a lot heavier than Detroit, so I expect a lot of board battles, where hopefully that 4th line gets their chance to shine again.

Ahem.....time to get going Captain Bo.

 

[hellstick]

Every team should rise up when playing the cup champs. I'm looking forward to a chippy low scoring game.
