Canucks welcome back an old friend tonight

[jstewismybastardson]

happy anniversary ... will there be cake?

Stephane Auger reffing tonights Canucks game. First time he's officiated a Canucks game since Burrows-Gate, which was one year ago today!

Seriously?

Talk about being under a microscope. Well, not by the league cause they don't care but the entire Canucks fan base will be a little extra critical of his work tonight.

lol radio guys are saying this game was picked specifically because there will be no one in attendance watching

Burrows PIM's

2007-08 = 179
2008-09 = 150
2009-10 = 121
2010-11 = 18 (so far)

I predict Burr gets 50 mins in penalties tonight

 

[mooger_35]

it's going to get ugly...

HA HA HA very funny. What's sad is it's probably true. Hopefully our future #1 goalie will stand on his head tonight. I don't think he's going to have a choice to keep it competitive.

Gonna have to miss this one tonight. Mom's birthday is coming up, and tonight's the only night the whole family can do anything. GO CANUCKS GO!!!

A re-match of the 1982 Stanley Cup Finals - Hey Harry, it's not a good idea putting the puck on Bossy's stick.

Future #1? You really like Poulin over Koskinen?

Future #1? You really like Poulin over Koskinen?

Yes. Patrick Roy said Poulin was the best goalie in the Q last year. His numbers have been much better than Koskinen this year as well. I know this is Poulin's first pro season but if Roy believes the kid has what it takes, it's good enough for me.

Game underway

Go Canucks Go!!!


770th game for Henrik. now in the top 5 for all time games as a Canuck.
man, that went by quickly. they still seem pretty durned young. damn I feel old now.

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

The LITTLE defense corps that could.

 

[puckhead]

any chance Auger calls this off?

1-0 for the visitors.

We need all the help we can get.

We need all the help we can get.

your all-star has been your most dangerous player so far.
good burst out of the gates, then faded....

very cool story about how excited Poulin was when he found out he was facing Luongo.
congrats on Gervais being a scratch, btw :p

 

[puckhead]

Mason Raymond looks like he wants one tonight.
great wheels on that rush (Kesler, too), nice save Poulin.

 

[puckhead]

man, there's a lot of room out there (not just talking about the stands either.... heeey-oo).
20 shots on Poulin in the 1st... he's held up very well.

With the defense the Isles have Poulin MUST stand on his head. Getting Martinek back is huge. He had a wrist injury.

The Canucks are on pace for 60 shots on goal!
