55-1 Canucks 55 goals for McCann

You have no faith in this organization
75 goals atleast

 

[Dugray]

Hoping for another clear cut stomping that leaves no doubt that this is a terrible hockey team.

 

[canucksfan]

I think the Nucks take this one.

 

[MikeK]

They are playing a lot better than us lately. I think this game will be tougher than some of you think. Could go either way. If we lose though... sheesh

 

[NoShowWilly]

oh look another team on a back to back.

Unhappy Miller
Apathetic team in front of him

Yeah
I don't expect much at this point honestly

I'm just hoping for somewhat of an exciting game for a change of pace

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

I think the TSN turning point of the season happened with 16 seconds left in the game the last time we played these guys. Been ugly ever since.

3-2 Buffalo in the shootout.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

3-1 Buffalo

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

Miller back in net, Nucks to win 4-2.

They're 1 point back of us with 2 games in hand.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

This is a "must" game lol.

Nah just kidding. Even if we win, we will lose the next 5 after it. The law of averages says we are due for a win but it's kind of exciting seeing that we are 4 points out of last place. Matthews is a real possibility. Hmmmmmmm

Safeway would go bankrupt.

 

[JuniorNelson]

Canucks have no discernable upside at the moment. I think this game will show that they have nothing working.

Defense will screen goalie for two. Goalie, discouraged, lets in a soft one. End.

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Safeway would go bankrupt.

Not like they've ever had to pay anyone for it before. Five goals is a joke, it almost never happens. They should make it four. That's rare enough and it still has a chance of happening.

That whole promotion is a joke. Listen carefully to the wording... "if a player scores five goals, John Doe COULD win $1 000 000". Sounds like they've left a little wiggle room for just in case it does actually ever happen.

'So John, congratulations on winning the big prize. We just need you to complete a 100 question calculus exam before you can claim it.'

'So John, congratulations on winning the big prize. We just need you to complete a 100 question calculus exam before you can claim it.'

I have no inside knowledge about this promotion but our firm runs cash promotions from time to time and the "could" caveat is because of the skill testing requirement that is required by Canadian law to avoid being classified as gambling / game of pure chance. My guess is if they "win" (player scores 5 goals) then there isn't anything substantial that they still need to do to win other than answer a skill testing question. Still it's enough to legally require the use of "could win" rather than "will win" in their language.

 

[Frank Garrett]

Let's show them how to really tank.

We're going to get curb stomped by the Buffaslugs.

With Evander "Money" Kane leading the way having scored 2 goals last game, 2 goals the previous game and 2 assists the previous previous game.

Buffaslugs are trending upwards while we... are trending to the abyss.

If last night was any indication, Monday night's game could be a slaughter.

I wonder if we'll get a visit from a certain Canuck obsessed, Sabres logo tattoo sporting sociopath in here or on the main boards: http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=1981053

Last game's thread is closed so I guess I'll just post it here...

Prust has been fined $5000... no suspension.

For whatever reason, nutshots are almost always fines and not suspensions.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Not got a good feeling about this one.

Oh, ok. Cool. Anyone else but Marchand and I'd have been pissed.
