GDT: GM 80: Beat LA! - Apr 6 - 7:00PM PST - SPAC

[Orca Smash]

I guess you haven't been paying attention this season. Arizona and Edmonton might as well be LA.

Actually if you seen any of my others posts I have been saying dont take those games for granted, and in the post you quoted i mentioned as much... arizona just beat the sharks last night and we better take those games seriously.

I was just being criticized for questioning us winning those games in the around the league thread yesterday. Its not a sure thing by any means (pens just blew a huge game to the flyers). But as someone pointed out if we cant beat arizona and the oilers for playoffs we dont deserve to get in and imo we should win those games. With that also said our record against the oilers has been perfect this year, although we have a history of blowing those end of season games against them, but again typically those end of seasons games dont have playoff implications when we played them, this year they do. Arizona however we have been good and bad against them this year.

This team is stressing me out, **** sakes.

Should be a beauty of a fixed game. No Toffoli suspension, Buff gone for 4 games, WPG and LA tied for the last spot... Writing's on the wall. To top it all off LA is practically impossible to beat right now under normal circumstances.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

This is a must win game.

 

[David71]

what if they lose?

 

[EpochLink]

I'm going aganst the grain, I don't wear canucks gear on game day...in fact haven't down so all season..

But **** superstition, it's ****ing go time...canucks gear all the way

 

[Mofletz]

what if they lose?

Depends on the effort.

 

[luongo321]

**** the kings!!! Except Pia. <3

 

[EpochLink]

I'm gonna go ****ing insane tomorrow

fair enough. scratch vey. switch matthias to center with barts and doresett. skill size and speed

 

[vancityluongo]

I really hope the Sedins have a massive game here. Would love nothing more than for them to come up clutch on the biggest stage.

 

[JA]

This is Game 7. If we win this, the Kings will need to pick up 5 of 6 points in their last three games to tie us in the standings. If we lose this, they'll be one point behind us with a game in hand! We have no control over what Winnipeg does, so we need to set the Kings back!

 

[Booshami]

Expecting Brown to be diving all night long tomorrow and the refs to be complete ****

 

[Brock Boeser]

Game 5 of the final 7 game segment.

W-W-L-L, 2 more Ws and we win!

I don't see how the two time Stanley cup champion fighting to get into the playoffs will lose to the no cup champion when it has huge playoff implications. We will find a way to choke it.

Just find a way to win canucks... This board will melt down if they lose.

It's feeling a little bit like 2007-08 again...



Hopefully the outcome can be a little bit different this time.

My first ever canucks game was back when the USSR was a thing. Since watching the Canucks from the 80's on, this is what i've learned:

-my heart tells me to think like epochlink

-my head tells me to think like stuffradio

That team stumbled hard for a long time Down the stretch.

 

[JA]

That team stumbled hard for a long time Down the stretch.

They lost 7 of their last 8 games and missed the playoffs by 3 points...

It was a meltdown. Markus, Trevor, and Brendan had to leave the Canucks on sad terms. The Canucks suffered from so many injuries that year too; at one point Mike Weaver was the most veteran defenseman in the lineup! The team needed a push at the trade deadline; when I found out that Dave Nonis' only move was to swap Matt Cooke for Matt Pettinger, I was very disappointed. It felt like a downgrade!

I can't wait to sere the corrupt league rigged the game to help the Fraud championship Kings who win the game

keys to this game:

1.)Good 1st period. We haven't had an impressive 1st on home ice since that game against Boston back in Feb. We have had some 1sts on the road but that's more so about taking energy out of buildings and playing solid road game. To get off to a good start at home you have to harness energy and really use it to win puck battles and foot races.
2.)Lack bounce back performance. He's bounced back before so hopefully he can make the big saves when needed.
3.)competent refs. Just let the players decide this game please. Don't fall for Quick, brown or Doughty's antics.

I expect a close game but if we get blown out Lack vs Quick needs to happen at center ice and I want to see some King players getting fed knuckle sandwiches. Send a message for in the event we do meet them in the playoffs.
