Pre-Game Talk: Roadtrip over; homestand of... 2 games? Canucks vs. Canadiens, Saturday night

[Zombotron]

Vancouver is home after that 6-game roadtrip which went less than swimmingly. Boeser sits for this one. Vancouver has a homestand of just 2 games before going to California for 3 games.

Have to imagine he's still a few weeks away

Montreal is doing their Western Canada roadtrip: 2 - 6 L vs. Edmonton, 3 - 2 W vs. Calgary.

It's also my birthday game. Don't feel bad for me, I don't anticipate a win.

Let's see what happens...
Stop Domi.
Win the special teams battle.
Try to out-goaltend Price who had a beast of a game tonight.
Last change.. yeay!
Go Pettersson.

If I see Poulliot again on that first PP....

If I see Poulliot again on that first PP....

But you will

Willie Green, baby

 

[Steely Van]

Change things up a bit.
Lets give Pettersson a break from faceoffs replaced with Granlund. Also Pettersson has been a bit soft defensively covering his man in front of the net leading to goals. Demote Goldobin to third line.
Scratch Pouliot and Motte sends a message to other players that they must earn their roster spot.

Leipsic Horvat Virtanen
Ericksson Granlund Pettersson
Rouselle Gaudette Goldobin
Schaller Gaunce Archibald

I wanna see

Eriksson-Horvat-Pettersson
Roussel-Gaudette-Virtanen
Leipsic-Grablund-Goldobin
Schaller-Gaunce-Archi

Lines need to be shaken up and Green needs to see what will work. I want to see Horvat and Pettersson together and Virtanen on a crash and bang line.

Need to change up our PP as well

 

[Intangibos]

Green is trying to assimilate us via Pouliot

 

[Addison Rae]

haha tomorrow’s your bday? today’s mine !!!!

This doesn’t seem like a honestand rather another nyc scenario of 2 games in the same location during a 12 game road trip

 

[sting101]

Goldobin Horvat Pettersson
Leipsic Gaudette Virtanen
Roussel Granlund Eriksson
Archibald Gaunce Motte

The good thing about this schedule is that by the time the season is 1/3 over we’ll have almost half of our road games played putting us in good position for the playoff push.

Depends on the health of the club.

Sure playoff push lol

Don’t cry for me, I’m already dead.

 

[PG Canuck]

Horvat is such a beast. When he gets legitimate wingers he will take yet another big step forward.

I’m trying to figure out what type of wingers he needs though. I feel he would do better with grind me down wingers ala 30goal burrows than like a high skill Mason Raymond type.

Wayne Simmons’s would be a good match in my mind

 

[yvrtojfk]

You going to the game for your bday Zombo? Pricey tickets.

Perhaps another grinding player then someone like Boeser as a pure finisher.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

If the Canuck players body clocks are still on EST..Saturday’s 4pm start might not be a bad thing.

 

[pettersson]

I really want to see them call up someone to play in the top 6 for a few games. Give them a little experience, see what they have. Dahlen isn't there defensively yet but honestly with the way Canucks have been playing, he'd fit right in.

Obviously the more obvious one would be MacEwan.

 

[BROCK HUGHES]

haha tomorrow’s your bday? today’s mine !!!!

Happy B day to you both

 

[Zombotron]

haha tomorrow’s your bday? today’s mine !!!!

HBD m8!!!

 

[I am toxic]

Sooooo . . .

Marky in net? Nilsson?

Bachman?

Or do we need to bring Bad Goalie out of retirement from Utica?

 

[EpochLink]

So about 40 percent of Rogers Arena will be Canadiens fans?
Cool, why are we starting at 4PM?

 

[Fire Benning]

People who complain about 4PM starts are probably the same people who complain about the wave.
