AV's return to Vancouver, Torts' possible last game against the Rangers as the Canucks head coach. Let's do this! Best of luck, Matty, JStew, and other Canuck fans i'm forgetting this early in the morning, lol

Christopher Tanev is actually injured and who the heck is Michael Zalewski?

Any chance Brooksie is part of a media scrum with Torts today?

Hes the college ufa they signed recently ... no idea why he is here and not in Utica although they showed a clip of the team working on the power play on global the other day and i noticed they were doing a drill with the 5 man unit and one defender/penalty killer ... he was that one pk guy

so im thinking they are using him to get in the way of shots lol

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Here's to a good, competitive game, my friends from the great North!

Carbomb opens the scoring as Lack handled that puck like a live grenade.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

CARBOMB!! He really has been a really underrated pickup, he's sparked that 4th line with Boyle and Moore, well now Dorsett. Keep it up, boys!

 

[mattola]

its OVA

Pouliot makes it 2-0 on the PP.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

A PPG!! Wooooooo!! Pouliotttttt

Kassian shaken up at the end of the period...

 

[BlueWolfZero]

Well good on Vineault. He seems to have won the coach swap in the summer. Ofc his gm isn't a complete idiot

lol - I agree, Sather isn't a complete idiot, he is 2/3rds idiot.

I still think you give him too much credit.

The TSN panel is unanimous, keep Torts, fire Gillis...

Agree with that. Can't blame Torts for the train wreck Gillis created
