Pre-Game Talk: The Unsustainabowl: Canucks vs. Bolts, Tuesday

[Melvin]

And that's the W for Tampa Bay; it is now an Unsustainabowl as Vancouver and TBL will both try for an 8th consecutive win on Tuesday

Guaranteed OT game.

Back in the day we'd have ties so that both teams could continue their "undefeated streak."

Jonathan Tonathan Miller hat trick. I put my life on it

We will have to send @RIP Botchford outside your house again with a weapon of some sort JUST incase JT Miller does NOT score a hatrick

Back in the day we'd have ties so that both teams could continue their "undefeated streak."

I mean, almost every "streak" in the NHL still does contain tie games with fake extra points, and the streakiness is thus exaggerated greatly, but I was surprised to see that none of Tampa's wins have been past regulation. That's really quite impressive. And of course only one of Vancouver's has, which is pretty crazy too.

 

[Horse McHindu]

Unfortunately, I don’t see the Canucks winning this one. All streaks come to an end, and Tampa is a better team than we are at current.

7-2 loss.

However, I think the Canucks will rebound from the loss and will play HARD the rest of the road trip.

 

[alternate]

Only real question in my mind is how many rounds the shootout goes. I'm putting the over/under at 9.

The first one.

The six straight regulation wins is far, FAR more impressive to me than anything else. I don't think the Canucks had even won 5 in a row properly since 2010. But nobody cares except us, man. we are just old men yelling at cloud.

I was bored so I looked it up, the 10-11 team had a 5, 6, and 8 regulation win streak. Hasn't happened since.

 

[JanBulisPiggyBack]

Every time I ask for a blow out it’s a close game

so

please have a close game and score little

thanks

6-3 Lightning. Prove me wrong boys.

I mean, yeah, but we're still actually right.

JT Miller is going to singlehandedly destroy the Lightning for making him move again.

Would be sweeter than sugar if he does it

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I think that the difference in this game is going to be a player like Jake Virtanen...The Canucks have a pretty good 3rd line with size and speed.....Make em pay Jake.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

5-3 Bolts ,with a Sergachev hat-trick.

[Hughes4Norris]

Think we lose this one 4-3.

Hoping for 6 points on this road trip, will settle for 5.

 

[VanJack]

Still think we might be looking at a lower scoring OT game or shootout. Canucks usually play pretty well at the start of a road-trip in Florida. It's the games later in the trip where things usually get a little hairy.

 

[I am toxic]

Superbowl

That's tennis.

 

[DL44]

Will come down to special teams and goaltending.
And getting pucks in deep. And one shift at a time.
And not letting them score in the first 5 minutes... or in the first 5 shots.

I think they got it out of their system tho.. TB scored on their first 2 shots in their last game.

So here's to TB putting Hedman on Petey and Miller... so Bo keeps rolling... Horvat for his 3rd multi-pt game in a row.

8.

It's only a 3 game trip?

JT Miller is going to singlehandedly destroy the Lightning for making him move again.

And for screwing up his taxes.

The 7 teams that TB has faced in their 7 game win streak: Fla, Mtl, Det, Buf, Mtl, Ott, Car. (2 WC teams, 5 non-playoff teams)
The 7 teams that Van has faced in their 7 game win streak: VGK, Pit, Edm, Lak, Cgy, Chi, NYR (1st in Div, 2nd in Div, 2 WC teams, 3 non-playoff teams)
