Borrowed Loffen's template from HFNYR because it's awesome and informative. All hail Loffen!

Huggy · Nov 3, 2015

Canucks win 4-1

Sutter > bonino

HighAndTight · Nov 3, 2015

Yay I'll have the night off.

Always love beating the Penguins.

Addison Rae · Nov 3, 2015

two fav teams playing, have class so I'm probably going to miss it, ugh. Hoping for a win and a big night from Sid and Geno (hockey pool)

Rex Banner · Nov 3, 2015

I hope Virtanen gets a good hit in on Crosby.

TARS · Nov 3, 2015

Sid has been killing me in my hockey pool. He better not choose tomorrow to turn it around.

Powder · Nov 3, 2015

As Higgsbroson said, official reports now saying Higgins to play vs. Pens, mentioned on 1040.

Probably cravknell comes out?

Velociraptor · Nov 3, 2015

TPM, didn't we see that bottom-pairing two weeks ago?? :sarcasm:

Dumoulin - Lovejoy, I believe. Unless Clenny draws in against his former mates.

No way Hansen is sitting so maybe Baer again? Who knows though, last game, based off practice lines, Baer was supposed to play with Sutter and Burrows with Horvat, so WD could easily change it just before the game.

Huggy · Nov 3, 2015

Baer or cracknell

Rofl you are right. I changed it, thanks! :laugh:

Pip · Nov 3, 2015

Will be interesting to see how our defense and the kids handle these world class players.

I have Perry in mine :help:

Hansen may be banged up.

If so then he wouldn't be practicing, most likely. He would just have the day off and rest to try and get back to 100%.

For bumps/bruises?

I don't think Higgy plays RW at all though, does he?

No, he's been thrown in a couple times but he's miserable there.

The Stig · Nov 3, 2015

Hopefully it goes as well as last season

My guess would be Sven in and Cracknell out and Higgins on the 4th with McCann for a game until Higgie gets it back together or Baert plays himself back to the presser. Might even try Sven with McCann and Dorsett. Sven played well his last three starts, should get to keep bringing it up.

VanJack · Nov 3, 2015

It's fortunate the 'Nucks are winning, otherwise there'd be a lot more talk about Sutter...according to Elliot Friedman at HNC, Hamilton in Calgary and Sutter in Vancouver are the two guys that have to get going to justify their contacts and are feeling the pressure...but I guess Bonino and Clendening aren't exactly ripping it up with the Pens either...amazing how many of these 'big trades' never seem to pan out like we think they will....Sutter was a third liner the the Pens and so far a third liner with the 'Nucks, albeit earning another $3m a season. :amazed:

VanillaCoke · Nov 3, 2015

Sutter brings way more intagibles than bonino tho

20 goal 49 point pace, 53 percent on draws, pp goal , Sh goal and great penalty killer. I'm not minding the sutter deal.

Since you're talking about players not performing up to par to their contracts, I would say Bonino and Clendening are fine since their contracts are in the $1 - 2 million range. Not much expected or required from them.

I guess Higgins being back means the end of the short Gaunce experiment.

2-game stint and his 1st career goal. Not bad
