Hopefully the Canucks get off to a better start this game, and Demko isnt still brushing off the cobwebs...Will BB keep the Pettersson line together..? , they had a poor game against FLA (Hogs in particular, who got stapled to the bench in the 3rd).

Maybe this will be the game that Pettersson comes alive, or reverts back to the alien,..take your pick.

Anyway, good to have hockey back.

CAM ON PETE SCARR SUM FAKKIN GOALS

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

My consistent and continuing hope is that Pettersson rounds back into form.

A win would be nice, and I think it would be a huge shot of confidence for this group.

 

[VanJack]

I see some unknown goaltender in Karel Vegmelka in Pheonix just shut down the Leafs after being blitzed with 45 shots.

Demko is overdue to steal one.....maybe this is the night?

Well, it's the 2-time Stanley Cup winner we're playing tonight, and they haven't shown any hangover. Hope our guys keep up the good play but we need some finish. Is Bobrosky in goal, or Bishop? Gonna be tough, but we knew that going in.

GO CANUCKS GO !​

I can claim emphatically that Bobrovsky wont be in net.

 

[Tomatoes11]

I think we are going to get stomped. Whatever happens on this road trip, I hope it’s accurate enough for the new gm and JR to make the appropriate changes.

I am leaning towards rebuild so us getting crushed hard on this road trip will push that plan along.

 

[Aphid Attraction]

I was waiting for this thread and thinking I was going crazy… checked three times that there was a game on today

LOL, I meant Vasilevskiy. Is he in, or Elliott?

 

[KingofSurrey]

Some pre game music for the room........

Lightning theme.....

The OZ...... - this song constantly plays on surry public transit, surrey mall and even my grandma plays it super loud in her double wide... This song often even plays at my kids Surrey daycare....



Hopefully the guys are drinking a few Lucky Lagers in the room post game celebrating the win....

 

[rypper]

LOL, I meant Vasilevskiy. Is he in, or Elliott?

It'll be Vasilevskiy.

 

[Canuckle1970]

It'll be Vasilevskiy.

Thanks. Ugh.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Kuch with a pair.

Think the boys take a step back in play after playing well the last game.

Tampa wins 4-2

 

[Grantham]

That Hunt-Poolman pairing is such a nightmare to watch. I wish we would dress 7 D and have Burroughs in there who can actually defened.

 

[supercanuck]

I am having flashbacks of that game in TB where Megna and Skille both scored 2 goals for us in a win. Maybe we'll get one of those games tonight.

Lammikko with the hat trick!

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Pettersson yarded off the center position..They’re trying everything to get him going.

 

[ghostingtaro]

kucherov incoming hat trick

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Shading the rookies away from Tampa’s top 6, smart move

 

[ahmon]

Even with no McDonagh/Palat that tampa team is gonna be hard to beat.

Imo they have a good chance for a 3-peat.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

EP now a winger.

Brutal.

 

[MS]

EP now a winger.

Brutal.

He's basically always been a half-winger. He plays the wing on the PP and JT Miller has traditionally taken almost every faceoff for that line while their defensive positioning is somewhat shared.

 

[logan5]

The Benning Canucks are back.We're gonna get f***in' smoked.
