GDT: Vancouver Canucks vs. Colorado Avalanche | Nov 17 | 6:00PM PST | SNET

[Mr. Canucklehead]

There’s a game tomorrow.

I’m nervous.

I’m just going to ask, everyone be nice to each other. It’s a rough time to be a Canucks fan - but if someone wants to cheer for the team tomorrow, please let them without ridicule. If someone feels the team is best served by losing, just respect that opinion and move along.

WHEN: November 17, 6:00PM PST
WHERE: Rogers Arena, Vancouver, BC
TV: Sportsnet
Radio: Sportsnet 650

Pearson - Horvat - Hoglander
Miller - Pettersson - Boeser
Podkolzin - Dickinson - Garland
Dowling - Lammikko - Motte

OEL - Poolman
Hughes - Hamonic
Burroughs - Myers

Demko

How much ice time should Hoglander get?

So how do we stay optimistic about this team?

Meanwhile, HFVan is like;

I am pleased to announce we have received special footage of Jim Benning's plan to get the Canucks back on track:

9-0 Canucks, Benning for GM thread gets re opened........

I expect the following:

"Fire Benning", "Fire Green", "Sell the Team" chants.
Massive booing pregame, during the game and post game.

 

[4th line culture]

I expect disappointment

I expect disappointment

Watch them win the next few games (mainly on the back of Demko) and have another banner raised at Rogers (along with contract extension for Benning)

Fire Benning
Fire Green
Grow some balls
And sell the team!

It practically writes itself

It’s so obvious what’ll happen. The boys will rally and Demko will steal the next 3 games and Aquilini will be convinced by these 3 games that no changes need to be made. Tell me I’m wrong.

I really hate to say this but… I’m hoping for a blow out again not because I hate the team but because at this point we need as much pressure as possible to have Green fired at least, hopefully Benning and others too.

Firing Green will do no good. He's just a scapegoat for other issues on the team. A team that DimJim constructed. And remember, it was DimJim who hired Green. DimJim who extended Green. DimJim who also hired Willie D. DimJim who also waited three full seasons to can him.

Still think there is SOME pride on the team, so I expect a sort of strong rally to start by the club. Will that translate into a "W" is another matter.

[tantalum]

The only thing I care about with this game is that fans make their dissatisfaction known loud, clear and often.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Hire Gillis would be the ultimate chant if any

 

[LordBacon]

Cant wait to see my fav team get destroyed again.

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

Lines at this mornings skate...Looking like a healthy lineup.

 

[Wry n Ginger]

I have been watching the heart and determination of the Canadian soccer team lately.

When I switch to a Canucks game a tear forms in my eye and I feel sadness.

At this point I am just wanting Podkozin, Hoglander, Garland, OEL and Hughes to have good games.

 

[Zippgunn]

DimJim who also hired Willie D. DimJim who also waited three full seasons to can him.

Right because Willie was so much worse than Green. Jimbo should have fired him right after we made the playoffs eh?

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Hmmm. Gonna go with 4-2 Avs.

 

[Grub]

This is a full and healthy team now with Poolman and Hamonic back. There’s no where to hide. We need this loss.

The moral victory to end all moral victories

So active cheering against the team is now allowed in the GDT?

Cheering for the team by cheering against them winning

Cheering for the team by cheering against them winning

I thought that is what the tank thread was all about. Go have your party over there

OK team, do what you're going to do and get it over with.
