Hey Rick, appreciate you taking the time to post here but stop copying and pasting the lineup each night. Get to work and fix this mess you tanned baldheaded goon!

Play DeSmith. Score some goals. Win a damn game.

Play better please.

It's official......the Canucks are emmeshed in their first major slump of the season. I suppose the fact that it's happening in late February, is still cause for some optimism.

Normally a game against Anaheim, who've been on the outside, looking in for months, would be just 'ducky' for the Canucks. But they're not really in a position to take any team for granted. Then it's on to L.A. for rematch with the Kings after last night's beat-down.

Finally they conclude their three-game SoCal soiree in Vegas, where they almost never win. It doesn't get any easier at this time of the year.

Only easy day is yesterday.

If our boys don't get that idea tattoo on their faces, they'll keep losing and losing.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Have to figure this is a DeSmith start. Dude needs a win to get back on track.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Good to get a decent stint in the NHL. Clearly not there yet but hope he takes the experience to heart and sees what he needs to do.

Gotta think this means Joshua is close to a return.

The game will be on Monday at 12:00 p.m ACT. That's Canberra time mate.

Maybe we see Raty/Podkolzin/Dries/Karlsson?

 

[wonton15]

Duhaime season? (I wish - Aman is still up and it’s probably going to be Linus Karlsson as an extra body)

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Dhaliwal might as well tweet "Not this time, Mr. Canucklehead you f***ing idiot":





Maybe related to Kessel, then? I don't believe we have an extra healthy forward unless I'm forgetting someone?

 

[VanillaCoke]

Gotta be Casey

We do not. As I said in the other thread, Canucks already had an open roster spot so this is unrelated to that. Also, if they sign Kessel he'd probably go on a conditioning stint.

[Bourne Endeavor]

It's good they're sending Bains back. Like I said in the LA thread, he looked completely overwhelmed last night. Definitely think the kid's got a future in the NHL but he's not ready now.

Line up wise, I'd like to see:

Pettersson - Miller - Boeser
Hoglander - Lindholm - Garland
Suter - Blueger - Mikheyev
PGD - Aman - Lafferty

If they opt to slot Suter on Lindholm wing, I feel we're all going to continue being disappointed. He isn't a line driver. Hoggy's tenacity might be a benefit to get him rolling. Otherwise, maybe it's time to split up Miller and Boeser just to if that helps balance out the lines. Something like...

Hoglander - Pettersson - Boeser
Miller - Lindholm - Garland

Either way, Tocchet's idea of us having more spine with Lindholm on the third line has been a complete failure. We're much better off loading up the top two lines right now, especially since I can't imagine they don't go back to our original third line once Joshua's back. So where does that leave Lindholm if they don't make changes now?

This is so funny

Okay, I checked the "injury thread" for any word on Soucy. Weren't the docs looking at a new x-ray of his hand during this week? How long does it take to look at an x-ray? I want him in the line-up on Sunday, damn it.
