Sharks-Canucks Preview

AP - Sports

The San Jose Sharks seem poised to reach the playoffs while the Vancouver Canucks are not, although this week may feel sort of like a postseason series for both.

They play the second of three meetings in a seven-day span Thursday night in Vancouver, as the Canucks will try to slow down the red-hot Joe Pavelski better than they did a few days ago.

They will hopefully be a Thornton our sides and help us get a better pick.

They will hopefully be a Thorton our sides and help us get a better pick.

In all seriousness, Thornton is having an outstanding year! He's two years older than Hank and I believe he's 10th in NHL scoring. I know he's not popular around these parts but he's hands down one of my favourite players.

I often find it fun to compare Thornton and Sedin side by side too. Thornton is 2 years older but both are the best playmakers of the last decade, both have been on powerhouse teams still searching for their first Cup, both have won a Hart and Art Ross and both are still going strong at 35+.

They're 2 players who aren't appreciated nearly enough as well.

 

[Love]

I think we're gonna get destroyed

 

[Rex Banner]

Just give me more Virtanen.

Yep, too big of a Hertl for us to get over.

Yeah, he deserves credit for rounding out his game, too. He's an excellent defensive player now imo.

It still pisses me off that he stuck his finger in Hank's face, though.

 

[thepoeticgoblin]

If Miller's in net - blowout, please. The higher pick the better. Yuck, I feel dirty.

You misspelled his name and it ruined your pun.

Man, that Burns.

Fixed it.

Well if you can't take the Heatley then get out of the kitchen.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Well if you can't take the Heatley then get out of the kitchen.

He's just keeping up with the Jones's.

Now where's that bottle of Marleau?

 

[pdefenestrator]

I thought it was determined that the date format in the title would be month/day and not day/month? So confusing

 

[moog35]

It pisses me off more that Henrik did nothing about it and took it like a little *****.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Jose and The *****cats.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Just give me more Virtanen.

This.

Virtanen has been steadily performing from "OK" to "Very Good" ever since the World Juniors, IMO - and this recent stretch of games has been some of his best hockey.

Things I want to see more of tonight - Virtanen, Baertschi, Horvat, Gaunce, McCann, Etem, Hutton

Things I want to see less of tonight - Weber, Bartkowski, Vey, Dorsett

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Pisses me off more that this happened right in front of the referee who did sweet eff all about it. Typical of the refs and the level of "respect" they have for the Twins.

Same thing as last game. Brock Nelson is doing his level best to manhandle Daniel Sedin, and does so for a good length of time, and nobody - refs or players - does anything. That is until Derek Dorsett feebly tried to fight Nelson a few shifts later and then got fed his lunch through a straw by Matt Martin...

Supposedly playing with the Sedins tonight. Looked good there earlier in the season. Excited to see how long it takes Willie to put Dorsett on their wing and bench Jake in the 3rd.

 

[earl grey]

hope for a close game but we need to come out on the losing side, in regulation

 

[struckmatch]

Gave my company seats to a client for this one.

Can't bring myself to pay $8.50 for beers, but also can't bring myself to watch this team sober. Win win.

oh please Martin threw a few punches to Dorsetts helmet then wrestled him to the ice. Not much of a fight and certainly not a huge beating. Yeah Dorsett lost so im sure the haters will be out in full force

 

[David Bruce Banner]

From here on in the only games I don't want us to lose are vs Calgary and Edmonton... and then only so long as they get the loser point.

So, go Sharks! And Vancouvers kids.

 

[CCF]

Gaunce in, Vrbata out tonight as per Canucks Twitter.

 

[TL12]

Sedins just seem tired of this sh** that they have to deal with.

Dorsett sucks and deserves every but of vitriol thrown his way. He's completely ineffective at everything he does. Hurts the team more than he helps it.
