It'll be Schneider vs Harding tonight.


Last season, Schneider was 2-1-0 with a 1.80 goals-against average and .929 saves percentage and won twice here including a shutout. By comparison, Roberto Luongo has been pulled in four or his last five starts at the Excel Energy Center and is 3-9-2 with a 3.58 GAA and .873 saves percentage

I saw last 3 games in Excel, Luongos GAA is 7.00

at least I wont be screaming fuckin luongo tonight (at worst Ill only be muttering it to myself)

kuzma was pointing this out today:

Sedins = $12.2 mill cap hit

Heatley + Koivu = $14.25 mill cap hit

 

[puckhead]

so, places luongo can't play:
minny
boston
chicago


other than that, we are golden

The Sedin's tonight will join the Richard's-MTL and the Hull's-CHI as the only bros to have played 800-or-more games for the same team:

You know, Luongo's cap hit is less than the following players in tonight's game:

Heatley
Koivu
Sedin
Sedin
Backstrom

The Sedin's are probably worth 6 million per, the other guys, not so much

I'd say take Chicago off that list. From what I can recall, he's played pretty well there the last 2 years. He just couldn't deal with Chicago at home. And I might get to watch! GO CANUCKS GO!!!

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Good grief, talk about a complete team no show by Vancouver tonight. Getting outplayed horribly by an inferior team.

 

[puckhead]

so let me get this straight.... Clusterfuck won't go when he throws a big hit (on Weise in the first period),
but Volpatti has to answer to Staubitz when Clusterfuck ends up worse for wear (on a hit that he threw).

something ain't quite right there.


also, something ain't quite right with the way the Nucks are playing tonight peeeeeee-youuuuuu

 

[anythingispossible]

Go Wild!

You don't get to play the Belarus Flames every night, puck...

 

[anythingispossible]

Yes

 

[dash]

Wow, it's a Wild game tonight. 4-1 Minny.

 

[esls79]

Games outta hand now - time for PMB to pay back Burrows for his past indiscretions

 

[puckhead]

Canucks as a team, owe Schneider a hooker for tonight.
a high-class one, at that.

awful effort.
