Pre-Game Talk: Vancouver Millionaires vs. Detroit Red Wings

[Wizeman*]

I predict the Canucks win 3-1. Go Canucks go!

 

[John Bender*]

I predict the Canucks get off to a quick start, go into the 3rd leading 3 to 1, but then blow the lead with Luongo giving up 2 goals in the final 5 minutes.

@FarhanLaljiTSN:

AV said he hasn't decided yet, but Ballard was skating with Barker today, so I doubt it @KronikCanuck: does Ballard getti play morrow

sounds like we get some more Alberts

 

[hackey]

The Ghosts of The Stanley Cup Champions of 1914/15 will lead them to a win
or maybe not

Oh, I'm sure AV has decided already.

I don't. I think we are going to steamroll them. New goal song and sick new unis. Gonna be a fun night.

good, I sincerely hope so. Seeing these jerseys will be awesome!

 

[deadinthewater]

Why? They were actually good together and have been this season. Bieksa's miscues largely came from being paired with Alberts. And everyone knew that would happen.

They have? Certainly news to me. Bieksa has been horrendous this season, and yesterday was no exception.

My son's Great Grandpa (add a few greats) was Silas Griffis, captain of the Millionaires. We have an original copy of the team pic taken with the Stanley Cup and are definitely looking forward to Saturday's game. Here's hoping CBC gives sufficient air time so we get to see the ceremony that I assume is planned.

That is an awesome piece of history, I bet that pic is pretty precious!

 

[The Bob Cole]

Yeah so? I love these millionaire jerseys, but thats not the question. Changing jerseys every 3 years is stupid and makes us look hokey

It isn't a jersey change. It's one commemorative game. Teams do it all the time, not just us. Have you watched the Winter Classic lately?

yeesh.

Not really Canucks related, but I just wanted to let you guys know that Aaron Volpatti will be playing on the first line with Backstrom and Ovechkin for the Caps next game.

Jesus, talk about desperation.

Patti works hard though, and had a good game vs Carolina.

We can point and laugh...until we remember that we had Bitz with the Sedins at one point too.

Wow, we put a 1st liner on waivers?
Fire Gillis.

[jigsaw99]

Stop being a Negative Norman

6-4 Canucks. All goals scored by Alberts. Even the Wings' goals.
