GDT: Dec 9/17 Canucks@ Flames 7:00pm HNIC

[Hockey Widow]

Ok, GDT is up folks. Enough playing around. We need a win and by gawd I intend to deliver! Not that my record is playoff worthy but I never quit and I'm good in all three zones, although these years there's an extra zone to carry around.

But back to the game.

No word yet on who starts. If Green sticks to his pattern we should see Nilsson but who knows with this guy right.

No changes xpected on D. Tanev tweaked something last game and had a maintenance day yesterday but is expected to play.

Up front Green will make a game time decision as to whether number 26 plays his first game as a Canuck or not. If Dowd plays expect to see Burmistrov feeling more confused than he does right now.

This is Calgary folks. I hate Calgary!

Nice GDT intro Wids. I don't know if I should feel turned on or angry I'll go with ANGRY! GO NUCKS! Virtanen to send someone to the quiet room. Goldy shows more promise. Granlund steps up.

Dowd will wear Anton Rodin’s old number 17 for the #Canucks

Looks like newcomer Dowd and Chaput will play in Calgary tonight. Burmistrov and Goldobin out. #Canucks

Nice HW!

I'm rooting for you to make the GDT playoffs

I, on the other hand, might be looking at the GDT lottery

Coconuts, go!

Omg he's supposed to wear 26!!! Ok, I can get used to 17. Our new Ryan Kesler!

So Green avoids controversy and plays both Dowd and Burmistrov. Against Calgary that might be a smart move.

Anyone know what the lines are?

Edit....

Oh did I misread that. Chaput in Burmistrov out. The Russians sit.

Fu$$ me, still can't read.

Chaput in
Dowd in
Burmistrov out
Goldobin out.

Ok is that right?

The accuracy is. The decision ? Maybe 50% Caputt.

[sk8er]

Has tkakook served his suspension?

[rats19]

Has tkakook served his suspension?

Was thinking that myself.... not sure

[Hockey Widow]

Yes he has already served it. Don't worry, you'll see him play tonight.

[Todd Bersnoozi]

Chaput in
Dowd in
Burmistrov out
Goldobin out.

Looks like Greener is going with some checkers who might be able to help on the FO dot, rather than the offensively minded guys.

[Hockey Widow]

The Virtanian one! Assist....Chaput.

Noice...
