Wow, besides Santorelli the team is actually completely healthy. It looks so weird seeing Matthias center the 4th line and Hansen on the 4th line as well. It looks weird seeing both Sedins together along with Kesler centering his own line. Everyone is there.

EDIT: Tanev is missing on defense as well. Still, nice looking lineup.

 

[Numbers]

Canucks recalled Corrado, so it looks like Bieksa will be out.....

 

[rypper]

over/under on Stanton putting a goal into his own net tonight?

 

[stuffradio]

Centre depth is pretty good with Santorelli, Horvat, Shinkaruk, Henrik, Kesler, Matthias, Gaunce, and Richardson.

We have some great wingers also like Dane Fox, but we need more wingers now.

 

[Intoewsables]

Lose, but not by too much.

Of course we get healthy when we need to lose...lol.

I'll be pissed if we win here. We're ****ing out of it, can we get a good pick please? The team needs an impact player at the draft more than a few meaningless regular season wins. Every team we're competing against is playing tonight as well.

This. So frustrating. I'd love nothing more than to see us beat the Kings handily with this not too shabby looking healthy lineup but the high pick is more meaningful.

A high scoring, yet competitive, loss would be perfect. I'd like to see the Sedins put some points on the board so that maybe they both have a hope of reaching 50 points by season's end (ugh).

Win win win losing is wrong

I had to check to make sure you were right on that one.

****ing. Wow.

Pretty easily the worst players this year given their expectations. Those numbers are half of what they put up in their last full season just two years ago with virtually the same personnel.

They simply must be better next year.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

I'd say lose...but I hate losing to the Kings. Let's beat 'em.

Just a reminder. Please keep the Tank/Anti-tank talk in the Tank/Anti-tank thread and discuss the game itself here. Any posts about it will be deleted. Thanks guys and girls.

 

[pahlsson]

lol why is lack still starting

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

lol why is lack still starting

Because Torts is a moron.

 

[canuck4life16]

is Henrik confirmed to play tonight?

 

[earl grey]

You gotta think this is a must-win game

 

[NuxFan09]

is Henrik confirmed to play tonight?

Yes.

“If Weber can’t go, Frankie will play. Henrik will also play tonight.†- Torts #Canucks

 

[Superpest]

Markstrom should be starting

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

Markstrom is gonna get killed out there and he could lose his confidence after not playing for so long
i wouldnt expect him to start until EDM or CGY
Might as well die hard trying than getting blown out....(whether that could happen with Lack, who knows)

 

[Vankiller Whale]

lol why is lack still starting

Because riding players until they collapse has been such a successful strategy for us this season.

 

[Craz1bo1]

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 25s

After Hours: David Booth. Hockeyville winner (Sylvan Lake, AB or Halifax, NS) announced in pregame so no Hotstove.

Eddie's played 39 games. And just had 3 days off. I wouldn't exactly call that riding til he collapses. Wait til a back to back now that we're out and if Torts plays him for both, then I'll agree more that he's being ridden into the ground

 

[jimmythescot]

Pretty much healthy team, and Doughty's out? Could this actually be a win?!?!

I like the OP, btw. Pretty in keeping with what the team has shown us this year.

 

[CanucksSayEh]

I would rather have the 30th pick than lose to these ********* again. My hate is unhealthy.
