I can watch two canucks games this weekend without being nocturnal and I am very happy about it
This timing is actually great for me. My wife goes to yoga in the morning and I can just hang out with the kids. I have plans Saturday evening so there's no conflict. Don't want this all the time but it's a fun change of pace.
Also, for those that don't know, the Wild front office is in complete turmoil. They've had two external investigations, Guerin has been accused of verbal abuse by the team's director of team operations and player relations, and they "mutually parted ways" with their capologist AGM.

Bill Guerin has bug eyes and has always seemed like a jerk. He reminded me of a Shooter Mcgavin during his playing years.
Will be interesting to see if they play Demko coming off a shutout. Common sense is yes but DeSmith is unbeaten against Minnesota in his career and just won against them.
I think they’ll still go Demko and give DeSmith Chicago

Guerin probably got mad when he was told he has the cap peallties next year too
Odd situation

As they say in biblical terms, the Excel Energy Center has been 'the shadow of the valley of death' for the Canucks over the years.
And playing a game when their body clock says it's 10 a.m., isn't going the help either. If Demko gets the start, he'll have to be at least as good and maybe better than he was against Florida.
The Miller line needs to get going five-on-five. They got buried in the third period in their own zone against the Panthers.

The schedule this year is so stupid, or maybe its been stupid for years and I just wasn't paying attention to it. 
It's B2B, so he will get 1 of these 2 games. If the time change and getting acclimated to the CST is an issue, probably best to give him the extra day and let him get the hawks game instead. DeSmith probably has more exposure to this early starts during his time in Pitt.
DeSmith doesnt need coddling, let him play and give Demko Chicago. Demko got the start after DeSmiths shutout
It’s impressive how many games you catch, considering the time difference.

RIP Jason Frank...but back when CM Punk was in the MMA, the Green Ranger kept on challenging Philip to a match:
I can see why CM Punk chickened out...I mean...its the freaking Green Ranger!
Fitting @Ginger Papa was my 10000 like. Hes probably responsible for half of those

Something in the Wild organization sure stinks right now. I was never a particularly big fan of Guerin on or off the ice, but this is just a weird situation.
I feel like playing in Minnesota has typically been a pretty brutal experience for us (even going back to the Luongo days), but this Canucks group has done a good job subverting my expectations thus far - hope they do it again tomorrow!

Looking around the league adds another layer of appreciation for having a good goalie in Demko here.

Or blueline is showing improvement in handling tougher teams since Zads got here. Let's keep that rolling against Minny.
Curious if they’ll call Cicek up for the road trip. Tocchet indicated that he expects another roster player to be added and there weren’t any other transactions today.
