Canucks aim to bounce back against visiting Coyotes


weird picture for TSN to use, Why Higgins of all people?

Looks like no Bieksa at Canuck morning skate. Booth skating on third line with Schroeder-Raymond. Volpatti and Barker appear to be extras.

I actually think this will be an interesting game. The Canucks looked like crap against Detroit.

The Yotes lost a game against Calgary that should probably go down as the CHOKE of the season for any team up to this point.

Both teams should be ready to play a hard fought game. Vrbata will be a game time decision again.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving team, in my opinion. Some very bizarre officiating in that game (almost as bad as the Canucks - Wings game on Sunday).

As far as tonight's game is concerned, Go Canucks Go!

/regulation please

I have no problem with the Bettmans' losing as many games as possible as long as they don't win the lottery & pick first overall. However, the Yotes are like the little steam engine that could. They just find a way to win games & get points on most nights.

The secret to beating the Yotes is scoring first - If Phoenix scores first, they just choke the life out of the game, get the other team frustrated, and then capitalize on mistakes or PP opportunities.

So who on the Canucks is going to get DOANED tonight?:

Yeah, it's boring hockey. Unfortunately the trap will never be banned by the league.

and the referees each game are the train conductors

yah i dont really understand how that works ... play trap and an interference game and they end up with a +12 when you look at power play opportunities versus times short handed for the team



/actually i undertand how it works :tinfoil:

#Canucks Henrik's ironman streak reaches 600 tonight. Pretty remarkable in this era for guy who sees top d-men every night

its because he's soft

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Raffi Torres has been playing quite well of late. Where was this goal scoring ability earlier in his career?

To be fair, he's played quite a few games against soft JayBo.

amirite?

this part is certainly true

He was pretty good the year after the first full season lockout ended with the Oilers IIRC.

Wow, it sucks having to preface the word lockout with adjectives describing which one it was.

and congrats to Jayblo in advance ... passing Guy Charron tonight for most career NHL games played without a playoff appearance

Don't worry dash, the way Chuck runs the Islanders somebody on the team will break JayBo's record.
