Jordan Schroeder [IR] — Ankle injury; Expected to miss 2 months

The battle of the swapped coaches, this will be fun.

 

[Cobiemonster]

This will be a real good one - this game will be on NHL Network in the US for those who want to watch

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Talbot is in net for us today. His first home start of the season, lets see how he handles it.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Dorsett is back in the lineup for Pyatt and Del Zotto is in the lineup, while John Moore is a healthy scratch. I don't under the latter move at all, bench Falk, he sucks, not Moore.

 

[puckhead]

Canucks Crangers Crazy Coaching Carousel GNT.

Rags played yesterday,
Nucks are always unpredictable in afternoon games (groins)
Tough to say how this one will turn out.

Gut says bet the under.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

12 Minutes till puck drop! Will be watching the Icetracker here at work, go Rangers!!!

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Canucks to the PP, Moore off for interference.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Nice goal by Chris Kreider

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Rangers strike first!!! Kreider baby!!!!

 

[BF4L]

Torts still the biggest ass I have ever seen. Having a complete meltdown on a Nucks player on the bench.

Second game in a row now he's done that

 

[BF4L]

Second game in a row now he's done that

I have no issue with a good barking at but to have a meltdown like that is dumb. I swear I would just drop a glove and punch that dickhead in his already to big nose.

I mean what does he think that accomplishes? That player is now gonna go out and play fired up. Guy is a assclown

 

[Cobiemonster]

Torts still gets a pass for the cup he won almost 10 years ago - he hasn't done jack since - he had one good regular season with the Rangers and that's it - he's fucking embarrassing as a coach - can't wait for Canucks players to tune this idiot out

I would think they already have. I would not play for that idiot.

Torts doesn't need to put his players out like that - you don't see any other head coach putting their players out there like that in the NHL

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Fucking Kreids man, I love this kid.

 

[puckhead]

fuck. enough.
like I said - you never know what you're going to get on afternoon games. with these guys.

I'm gonna go kick the dog or something.

 

[mattola]

When is enough enough? The inconsistency is mind boggling

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Fucking right, 4-1!! Nash is a beast.

 

[dash]

Cam Talbot played his collegiate hockey at the University of Alabama - Huntsville. I wonder how many other NHL players that school has produced?
