GDT: GM1: Vancouver Canucks @ Calgary Flames - 7:00PM PST - SPAC

No...

Sure

 

[TheWolf*]

In a fight, maybe.

Sutter vs. Prust and Dorsett.

The Prust Bollig fight was one of the most boring hockey fights I have ever seen.

I wish Prust fought Ferland.

 

[The Drop]

He's just as composed as Tanev was in his first few games with the added offensive ability and creativity. Pretty remarkable. I mean, I projected him to be a good prospect based on what I saw of him in college but he's progressing way faster.

Are you implying he takes steroids? Not cool bro

 

[StrictlyCommercial]

Nice to wake up from a power nap and find we're up 2-0. Great first goal too.

 

[PM]

second line has been pretty invisible

Yeah I'm not seeing the Horvat / Vrbata chemistry at all. And Baertschi hasn't been noticeable but I swear he was getting subbed out for Prust a bunch at the beginning which is just a whole bunch of wrong.

 

[EpochLink]

Is Hutton gonna be the young defenseman stud we've been looking for since Ohlund?

 

[Captain Bowie]

we got sutter so i think you might be imagining things, there's no way our faceoff percentage isn't over 50% right now

18-10 Calgary.

 

[Toxic0n]

Hutton point
Sutter goal

Can't get better than that for some stories.

What stories? Sutter scored 20 goals last year, he is still not a 2C. He scores a goal and now it's a story?

 

[rune74]

Yeah, it damn well is.

I didn't mention that IMO you are wrong...should have been more clear.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

Stage one .... here we come.

 

[PG Canuck]

The Prust Bollig fight was one of the most boring hockey fights I have ever seen.

I wish Prust fought Ferland.

Don't understand what fighting Ferland accomplishes other than losing a fight, but sure. Both Prust and Dorsett are punching bags.

More Jovanovski than Ohlund.

only in Vancouver does a player score a nice goal and the fans still can't give him a break

18-10 Calgary.

Only responding because this is the most recent comment on it:

Great article on the overblown importance of faceoff wins.

It's pretty funny to be honest.

 

[TheWolf*]

Just dont pair him with #5. Please.

 

[CherryToke]

Horvat needs heavy forecheckers to play with. Baertschi/Vrbata are the worst possible fit for him. I wonder how long it takes **** for brains to figure that out.

 

[EpochLink]

More Jovanovski than Ohlund.

So we do we call him "special" Ben then

 

[PG Canuck]

I didn't mention that IMO you are wrong...should have been more clear.

I mean, I said I'm willing to give it time, just giving an early observation. Just because Sutter scored by batting a puck in, doesn't mean he has chemistry, is all I'm getting at.

 

[TheWolf*]

I understand it. It fires the team up. Had Dorsett gone out and laid a beating on Ferland, it would have been a big psychological gain for the Canucks.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

More Jovanovski than Ohlund.

I don't see it. Not yet anyways.

Or the Ohlund reference for that matter.

 

[PM]

Yeah maybe swap Horvat and McCann. Horvat with Burrows and Hansen and McCann with Baertschi and Vrbata.

 

[Toxic0n]

It was a nice goal, but some are trying to spin it as if that proves anything. "Stories"

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

This injury happened 7 MONTHS AGO!

It is irrelevant now!

 

[Nomobo]

Good period, fourth line is looking good.
