Ballard in tonight

Dan Murphy ‏@sportsnetmurph
Ballard says he copes with tough times by "bitching to his wife"..comment came with a chuckle. Says he's much tougher mentally now #canucks

 

[mattola]

Burrows wife had a baby

that was some off season for the canucks

so despite what the Bruins fanbase says our boys are not all steers n' queers....

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

hey if you get that answer. please let us know as well thanks

Both goalies have had their moments, but at some point they need to pick one & give him the bulk of the games. Maybe they're waitiing for one of them to steal a game & he'll be the guy. I don't know. Having two goalies is a nice problem to have, but it can backfire on teams as well.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I have a question for everyone.

How can either goalie on the Canucks get into a rythym when they don't play in consecutive games?

it sounds like they might start giving crampy the ball starting tonight ... no more back to back games til March 19 so barring a soft outing ... we might not be seeing Luongo for a bit

Nah, that's reserved for the Oil (only two things come from Oklahoma)

Not a bad team to be starting against either. I can't figure the Sharks out. They have a lot of talent, but for some reason scoing as been an issue.

they didnt start 9 - 2 - 2 because goaltending was spotty ... they were both on their games early

its only been recently that they both have fallen off a bit and I say thats more because the team has gone away from a safe game

I don't think the Canucks goaltending has been a problem at all. I just think at some point the team needs to pick one guy & see if that goalie can carry the load. Luongo is obviously a much more proven quantity. The org. seems to like Schneider. We'll see how it goes. I don't think they can go wrong with whoever they choose.

Barker over Alberts tonight

Barker over Alberts tonight

I dont get as upset as some seeing Barker get in the lineup. We need the depth and he needs the game time. about as good a time as any to get him games.

he wasnt a detriment last game.

just think Alberts is a better option tonight against a big sharks team

Visnovsky is out for the next two games for the Isles due to a family tragedy. His replacement is Radek Martinek. I'd trade Martinek for Barker anytime.

which makes perfect Sense for AV to put in Barker dont you think

 

[dash]

Shouldn't Sestito answer the bell if Clowe or somebody else gets out of hand?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

its not about just fighting ... its about physicality, especially coming from the backend (i said pardon?) ... Alberts played a really rugged game against the Kings

 

[jstewismybastardson]

woah ... Kearns playing on a line with Thornton and Couture tonight

 

[Slimpikins]

What's the over/under on the game tonight? I may take the under...

 

[mooger_35]

5.5

I took the over so the under would be a safe bet.
