The Epic Battle for 3rd in the Northwest GNT (Nucks - Avs)

[puckhead]

Game #21 Preview: Snowball Effect | CanucksArmy
The Avs are reeling a bit right now, having lost 3 of their last 4, while the Canucks struggle to find some consistency, as they've alternated wins and losses for the past four games.

- Last season, #Canucks beat Avs 4-2 in 21st game of year. Start of 4-game win streak and 17-1-2 stretch

- Schneider vs Varlamov. Varlamov 0-5-1 in his last 6 starts.


Go Canucks Go.

Also, Lose Avs Lose!

 

[Slimpikins]

Let's go Av's!

They were kind enough to play like crap against San Jose, so I figure I owe them one back.

Regulation, k, bye...

In yet another reason to hate Joe sacco, EJ is doubtful tonight because of a sore groin

speculation is he pulled it during a bag skate


oh well, time to lose another game where we double the opposing team's shot count

 

[puckhead]

Kesler's 500th game tonight.

 

[SuperFlyer13]

Don't know how well this young group performs tonight, If they lose I hope they at least make the Nucks earn it..

1-0 Canucks after 1 - Manny being Manny gets his 1st of the season on a bang-bang play.

Regulation, k, bye...

3 point game gives the Flames a higher probability of getting Yakupov though.

I just have a tough time rooting for losses, though, Kenny. Once I start doing that, I might as well grow a mullet, get a '79 Camaro, and cruise Rexall Place on Friday nights.

I hear ya. I just can't do it either.

Burrows makes it 2-0 Vancity (SOB looking like a beached whale on the play).

/Is anyone here a marine biologist?

 

[KennyBanyeah]

You're on fire tonight dash!!

 

[IPostedWhat]

You're on fire tonight dash!!

Pffft, what a Flamer.

good for Manny lighting the lamp. his first of the year, and his first since his injury.
good for the Nucks for actually taking to a struggling team instead of playing down to their level.
You know Burrows had to enjoy scoring that one after S.O.B. knocked his own goalie out of the way.
sure would have liked to see the powerplay click. Sedin early in the 3rd period was the chance, I guess.

whenever I hear O'Reilly's name, I think of Manuel "you Orally men?"

 

[falconski]

this team has no chemistry, and teh defense got significantly uglier with EJ out...both goals consisted of an avs defenseman hitting varlamov (Hejda on the first SOB on the 2nd) on the shot.

I guess you don't have to interfere with the opposing goaltender when the opposing team will do it for you

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

I hope Elo, Ritari and the other Caps fans here enjoy Yakupov

stat of the game: Paul Stastny is making $6.6 million for three more years.


- Vigneault gets his 247th win for the Nucks, passing Crow for the franchise mark
- Broken thumb for Rome? good thing we've got an extra Ballard, I guess.
