Two hot teams that have won 3 in a row. Canucks have allowed just 15 goals in 7 games for 2.12 per game and the Rangers 13 in 7 and only allowing 1.85 goals per game. Somethings got to give.

DeSmith starts this one.
Let’s get it yall, I’ll be at my watering hole for this one. Also, it’s gonna be packed downtown for Halloween.

Can confirm. Will be happy as well.
This should be a really fun one. I just hope the Canucks can show they won't get caved in by a good team. If they can hang with the Rangers, not just on the scoreboard but in the flow of the game, that's a great sign. Despite their record so far I have reservations after the first few games of that road trip and looking like the same old.
Tomorrow will be a good test and, like I said before, a fun game! I was hoping Demko would get the nod again so we could get a Demko-Shesterkin showdown but probably better for him to get the night off on the back to back I guess.

First b2b of the season
NYR is good and well rested, and they are gonna play their Vezina level goalie against us
Be happy with a loser point

B2B vs Halloween enhanced Roxy flu. Let's hope the ladies were in fine form tonight and showed the Rags enough hospitality to even the playing field.

If the Canucks take this game, I think the bottom 6 has to step up and have evidence of that on the score sheet. Garland, Lafferty, Hog all had shots that were plausible goals vs the Blues. But close only counts in hand grenades and horseshoes. Sooner or later (or maybe even once in awhile, if I'm being optimistic) the top 6 won't be able to generate 3+ goals a game.
Still, being anticipatory for Canucks games? This is a strange and new feeling.

This to me is the trap game, we feel good coming off today and NYR is a solid team and will be ready to play us. I hope we come out strong. I still think this team has some real flaws and I’m not trying to be a Debbie downer here, just to say I’m impressed with them in-spite of, and am hopeful they can resolve some of these issues (RHD, to many Smallish Wingers, not enough heavy bodies) to make a run. Also think that Vegas and Colorado look good. I know I’m ahead of myself, but it’s been years since I felt like we had a chance.

The NYR game is going to be the 1st I have missed in quite a while. Going for dinner at my sister's and daughter is joining us, and sister doesn't have a tv. Or care about hockey.
You all yell at them enough that the Nuckers win without my screaming.

Quality time with family is a win in itself. Let’s hope for two wins Saturday!

Very Nice, Very Evil!
You cant lock in a playoff spot in the first 10 but you sure can play your self out of one.
That wink you gave the Canucks a couple days ago is paying off

Sure looks like it!That wink you gave the Canucks a couple days ago is paying off
But. Isnt it fun on these boards now that the team is doing well?
Its been a loooooong time since the vibes here were so good.
Look at the minutes from last night:
Hronek under 19
Hughes under 21
Miller under 18
EP under 19
If you have to play a back to back, it’s nice to go into it without your most important players logging huge minutes from the night before.
The way DeSmith has played in his first 2 starts, I don’t think any of us are overly concerned by it at this point, but, with the benefit of hindsight, I would have preferred DeSmith play last night and Demko tonight.
Hopefully the Rangers hit the Roxy hard last night.
