Pre-Game Talk: Vancouver Canucks vs. Toronto Maple Leafs | Dec 18th | 4:00PM PST | CBC

[Mr. Canucklehead]

 

[TruKnyte]

How has this game not been postponed yet?

 

[Bettman Returnz]

I bet we see a season pause tomorrow or Monday (until after the holidays).

[M2Beezy]

Yikes, that looks uglier than my posting style

 

[Bettman Returnz]

How has this game not been postponed yet?

The league would like to see the leafs crush Canucks. Make everything right in the world.

 

[Canucks LB]

Myers is having the best season of his career, This is a monumental blow for us, There is basically nobody left.

No way, canucks will crush leafs tonight. Leafs has no real C after AM34. There is no reason for them not shut it down. In the end, some teams will play more than 5 games than other teams.

 

[TruKnyte]

Words I never thought I'd say: we're really going to miss Myers on the backend

Hope your right.. we basically have an ahl D-core….but would be pretty embarrassing for leaf’s to lose. So I am all for that!

If they don’t cancel it
Just hand the W to Toronto

They also have players missing with Covid. All we need is Demko and our top 9 is healthy. It's enough to beat the Leafs.

 

[LaVal]

Myers
Motte
Poolman
Schenn
Hunt
Lammikko

Tavares
Kerfoot
Simmonds
Spezza

And coach Jason King. All on protocol. How can they allow the game to go ahead tonight?

 

[wonton15]

Remember when Matthews walked Chatfield multiple times?

Thats going to happen every shift tonight

[MS]

Matthews might score 7 goals if this game goes ahead.

 

[Canucks LB]

I have no clue how we going to win with that defense tonight vs the leafs
Hughes gonna play like 40 minutes tonight lmao

 

[CherryToke]

How is this situation different than the 4 games that are already postponed? Just cancel everything for a couple weeks..

 

[arttk]

So what happens if we get one more Covid positive? Sign more AHL players?

 

[Heldig]

As a casual Canucks fan I really want the Canucks to use tonight as a statement game. Winning big against the Leafs on HNIC will do that in spite of all the covid/injuries.

 

[Vector]

Kyle Burroughs: top-pairing defenceman

 

[iceburg]

yikes

With that defense they're really going to have to play a Boudreau game. The forwards can't let the puck out of the offensive zone.

 

[Red]

Why the f is the NHL playing this game?

 

[MS]

Why the f is the NHL playing this game?

I suspect that they are desperate to get in as many games as possible before the inevitable shutdown.

Meaningless to a certain extent with the missing players both teams have
