Canucks at Flames GNT

[dash]

Not expecting a win, just want to see a good effort in front of Kipper tonight.

/If McGrattan wants to pound the crap out of Bieksa, that's fine too.

 

[dash]

Well, McGrattan is out of the lineup with a bum shoulder - Sarich tuned up Jan Hedja pretty good last game, maybe he can send Bieksa a message.

The funny thing is Dustin might be the best Butler in the game tonight, Matty...

 

[esls79]

Real flu, or Roxy flu?

I'm going to Vegas flu...

/Sorry, that's the Divelanche

 

[puckhead]

Kipper has squeaked out a few juicy rebounds so far.

earlier - would like to have seen Kesler either hit the fucking net, or feed a wide open Kassian.
that was awfully generous defensive coverage (3 guys followed Raymond across the ice)

 

[puckhead]

fuck. bounced in off of Kesler's leg.

 

[dash]

Congrats to Max Reinhart on recording his first NHL point (assisted on Glengarry's goal)

 

[puckhead]

on first look, I think the Flames defenseman poked it into his own net underneath Bellows.


5 min later, Cheech agrees with me.
and so do the refs!! w00t!!! for Bellows crashing the net

 

[dash]

Boy, those have to be two of the ugliest looking goals of the season.

1-1

 

[naslundfan19]

Keep me in the know guys. Can't watch. Working on something for my church. Thanks!

 

[puckhead]

Lappy with some good hustle on the PK
draws a hooking minor, in what could have easily been a penalty shot.

 

[dash]

Just get Tanguay off the stinkin' powerplay...

 

[dash]

Gotta admit, I love seeing Bellows on his keester (nice one Brodie)

 

[puckhead]

wow, was that pretty puck movement on that powerplay.
Kesler with a great chance, Kipper with a quick leg.
then Burrows tips one off the post.
He's causing pretty good chaos in front of the net again tonight


and Roy gets his first diving penalty. ?? he did get mugged

 

[dash]

Derek Roy, two minutes for diving - mark it down folks, first one in a Canucks uniform.
