GDT: 27/10/15 Montreal @ Vancouver 7:00 pm SNV

Post by Hockey Widow »

Really. No one else starting these things. Really. Ok Blob, your wish is my command. Let the losing streak continue.

Line up changes, Virtanen switches up with Hansen

Sedin/Sedin/Vrbata
Burrows/Sutter/Virtanen
Baertschi/Horvat/Hansen
Prust/McCann/Dorsett

Weber is in, Bartkowski out.

Miller in. Markstrom a few weeks away and then likely a condionting stint in Utica. Bodhi Miller took his first skate with daddy Miller the other day. Too early to say when he will start for the Canucks.

Habs look to become only the third team in history to start 10-0-0 and have owned Vancouver, well, almost always and forever.

Prust looking forward to playing his old team. Don't expect a fight though. Not Montreal's game. Could be a full house, if the sky train works, but look for a sea of red.

This is the game folks. This is it, the one we have been waiting for. Tonight we get our first home win and end Montreal's streak.

Nothing would make me happier (short term) than to end the Habs' streak with conviction tonight. These home games where it sounds like a road game make me want to puke.

Way back before Leaf-hate became fashionable, there was Hab-scorn. The Pacific Coliseum full of their self-righteous fans, and a guaranteed loss for the 'Nucks everytime... it didn't take long for a very young Puck to develop a strong dislike for Montreal.

I'm going to the game, so I'm hopeful for some entertaining play. These Canucks have been awful dull to watch the last few games (...years).
I don't know Mondi. I think they're pretty entertaining. They haven't had composure and killer instinct. But they've been exciting to watch. But I do fear the lack of leash for the young guys. Let 'em play I say. How can they learn any other way?

Daniel??

Yeah, I've heard that's what Subban calls him.

I wonder what that's all about?

Calling it right now: Daniel drops 'em and drops PK.

Canucks win 3-2.

I smell a win unless WD is WD.

He says the young guys will get icetime, I don't believe him.

Miller has been great so far this season, and so far tonight. Too early to call though :mrgreen:

Ya, what's with Edler falling down all the time.

That's two D zone face offs WD has given McCann, and he won them both. He is showing me he can play effectively on the fourth line and move up if need be. My vote is in, keep him and let him get some confidence in the NHL and like Bo last year I think by Christmas we will see him score more regularly.
