GNT : Jackets at Canucks

[mooger_35]

Ex-Canuck back-up vs current Canuck back-up (no not Luongo)

Sanford for the Jackets and Schneider goes again for the Canucks.

Mason Raymond may be in

Burrows took morning skate, looks good to go.

 

[dash]

I predict Derek Dorsett will do something that raise the ire of puck during tonight's game. Sanford keeps the game close for the first two periods, but the Canucks pull away in the 3rd for a 3-1 victory.

There, I just saved you 2.5 hours of viewing time.

as an aside ... Pavol Demitra would have turned 37 today

did the canucks have a special night or moment of silence or anything like that so far this season that i missed?

 

[mooger_35]

I believe they did something in the preseason for that entire team but nothing for Demitra specifically.

 

[puckhead]

Burrows took stitches in his finger, but will play tonight.
(I think my wife deleted the PVR recording of the game while I was away. grrrr.)

he played 2 seasons for us but total less than a full season with injuries.

Minnesota and ST Louis I believe did bigger things for him. we gave a moment of silence for the team and highlighted Demitra

Burrows in. Raymond no go.

#Canucks G Cory Schneider 3-1-0 with a .918 save percentage and 2.47 goals-against average vs. #CBJ in his career.
#CBJ G Curtis Sanford is 5-0-2 with a 1.56 goals-against average and .951 save percentage in 7 career starts vs. #Canucks.



so.... look for a 9-7 game.

As long as we get 9, I'll be happy. Missing this one. GO CANUCKS GO!!!

And that same thing will make me happy to no end.

Can't watch this one, so I may be checking here for updated.

huh. silent GNT. OK, here goes.

- loved to see Alberts steamroll Dorsett in the first after DD finished a check after an offside whistle.
- Kesler starting to show flashes of "beast mode" again
- those were Burrows' first points at home this season. (10 on the road)
- I liked Johanson and Nikitin on the Jackets, Rick Nash was largely invisible
- Man, i love watching 'those' Sedin shifts.
- Schneiderman has had his fair share of luck
- Booth is really picking it up. Seems to take incoming players a fair bit to get up to speed.
- Nucks finally in a playoff position. could be the first time since game two of the season.
- now 2 points out of 1st in West.... also 2 points out of 9th!

Nash is a smart player ... looks to me like he was trying to do it all by himself ... tried to gain the canucks blue line 1 on 4 at least twice ... and then a couple of times he tried skating with the puck through the zone and curling back up to the blue line ... he needs a puck carrying playmaker in the worst way

yeah Im trying to figure it out. The guy has boat loads of talent and that team is WASTING him. Burke tried to get him pretty bad when he was GM of Canucks. Carter was the wrong Center for him. Richards would have been a better set up guy. I feel bad for Nash the guy should be alot more in this league

Rick Nash TSN Bio

one year he had a PPG 79 pts in 78 games. a few 40 goal seasons to boot. guy could be 100pt guy easy with the right center.

You don't need to tell me the difficulties about trying to find the right centre...

Man Dash I feel for you.. (not many other Flames fans get that)

to have the team on a edge of suck each week and get a little hit of awesomeness from Kipper to hold them in for some hope is tough. Woudl you not rather tank to get 1st overall


I dont know what to say to make it better I enjoy the Flames losing and missing the playoffs year after year I took a bad beating from Flames fans when we missed the playoffs a few years back (second year of Luongo's tenure) and I just want some to remember the humility as a fan when you miss consecutive years

With the Flames drafting history (some bad picks accompanied with bad luck), I don't know how successful tanking would be. Are the Oilers on year 5 of rebuild part 1 or year 2 of rebuild part 2? I think Feaster is trying to make some moves to acquire some draft picks or bring in different players, but I don't think anything will happen until January or February at the earliest.
