Easy win.

 

[Booshami]

I would rest Eddie and start Markstrom

 

[NoShowWilly]

I go with Lack again.

 

[Senpai Sahil]

Lack should get the start again. Play Markstrom against Winnipeg.

 

[IntangiBo]

Lack should get the start again. Play Markstrom against Winnipeg.

Barely, but still more important to beat Winnipeg. I'd go Markstrom in Chi.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I would agree with starting Markstrom, but I don't see any way that Willie does it - either here or against Winnipeg, to be honest.

 

[Index]

Hopefully Markstrom starts.

 

[polarbearcub]

Gonna be a really tough game. Get a point.

 

[NoShowWilly]

it'll be eddie tomorrow, eddie on saturday. if we don't clinch it'll be eddie on monday.

 

[PG Canuck]

Eddie Eddie Eddie

And I'm not chanting his name, that's just how the starts will go - Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

Hope Markstrom goes in this game.

 

[NuxFan09]

Win or lose, I always look forward to this matchup because both teams get up for it. Every time.

 

[Bro Horvat]

I still instantly think Schneider when I see the #35 Canucks jersey in these GDTs

I don't know if it's too early to start picking opponents, but I don't think there are many people out there who would disagree with making it more difficult for LA to make the playoffs (outside of LA), so playing the lesser goalie vs Winnipeg would be a good idea I think.

Funny you say that, because I already forgot what number Schneider wore :/

We're not playing a wildcard opponent anyway unless it's round 2. Ducks would beat Winnipeg, but who I want between the Ducks and LA is more or less a toss-up, truth be told.

 

[Intangibos]

Guaranteed win!

I hope the Vancouver Canucks are not thinking this way. I have no issue with LA being the 8 seed. Anaheim might.

 

[Pip]

Lack is going to play until we clinch. If Markstrom didn't play on the second half of a back to back I see no reason why Willie would play him in the next few games.

 

[DL44]

This is the way i see it shake down...

Lack starts vs Chi...
Start Markstrom vs Wpg

That gives Lack a 3 day break for the final 3 games.. Polish up with Rollie and away we go...

Then ride Lack till we clinch.

Edit...

Actually the more i think about it...
Lack has played 5 straight now.
Coming off of 2 big wins.
Why not sit him now for his 3 day break, and then ride him for the final 4 or till we clinch.

This is just assuming he even requires a rest in the first place.

Weird, I think of Schneider when I see the #27.

4-2 Canucks.

 

[KeninsFan]

it'll be eddie tomorrow, eddie on saturday. if we don't clinch it'll be eddie on monday.

Our final 2 is against the Coyotes and Oilers. Markstrom can start both if we have the #2 seed locked up.

There's also a week or so between the end of regular season and the playoffs where Lack can rest. He'll mostly be video scouting our opponent during that week so it'll be adequate rest.

 

[Huggy]

We need Lack to play against LA, there for Markstrom gets Chicago and Wpg

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

WD is going to run with Lack.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

WD is going to run with Lack.

Sounds reasonable.
