[puckhead]

Bieksa said "yeah, they got in a night early, so I guess we know where we can go to find Shaner"
S.O.B, on trash-talking tonight "They've got a LOT of material on me over there" :p
Video: Shane O'Brien on trash talking tonight: They got a lot of material on me over there - The White Towel

Edler questionable with a bad back, took a 'maintenance day' away from practice today.


anywho... Go Canucks Go!!!!
a chance to tie Philly before the all-star break.

 

[puckhead]

in watching that S.O.B. video, something tells me he is "looking forward to the challenge"

 

[jstewismybastardson]

just have a seat Edler ... no use pushing it hard at this point ... come back healthy after the all star break ... I want to see this "second coming of Brian Rafalski" in the lineup (Lee Sweatt)

It's too bad Wellfed is no longer with the Canucks, it's well documented that SOB is a chubby chaser...

Here we go!

Nucks PP

 

[puckhead]

I was thinking on that shift that the SOB of a year ago would have been eaten alive by the robots.
there was pretty good pressure there... something to watch for tonight.

Nashville has really good puck pressure on the PK

Sweatt has a nickname...Ru-dy Ru-dy Ru-dy.

lol

 

[naslundfan19]

Now, Preds to the PP.

 

[naslundfan19]

This Tanev's first PK action?

 

[puckhead]

This Tanev's first PK action?

He got a short PK shift in the Dallas game.
possible towards the end, when it didn't matter though.

edit: and one in the Cal game before that

 

[naslundfan19]

Wow. Only 4 shots on net through 15 minutes.

 

[naslundfan19]

Louuuuu!!!

 

[puckhead]

nice play by Sweatt to clear the zone there.

not a great period at all. they are going to need to step it up a bit.

 

[naslundfan19]

3 shifts and he hasn't screwed up yet. So far, so good!

 

[naslundfan19]

Another penalty. We're playing with fire here.

 

[puckhead]

halfway through, it's a pretty damned boring game.
Nucks getting going on this last shift though.

 

[dash]

Is this an exhibition game?
