GDT: Canucks @ Wild, Nov, 15, 5pm SNP

[Mickey107]

Difficult to say the least. I'd say a test of character but think maybe it's gone past that.
The Wild are a solid team and if we get points or a point out of this one, AND, take no further injuries, Bravo!

MNSOTA wrote up the game preview I will be on the post-gamer. MNSOTA shares some lock out memories as well as some of the old board wars between us and the Vancouver fans that I'm sure @DJ Ricky remembers! She also included some music for your entertainment. The Canucks got the best of the Wild during the road trip, so now its time to return the favor. Minnesota should be pretty motivated after what happened on Tuesday against Colorado. Enjoy and discuss!

Pettersson scored twice when we beat the Wild 5-2 in October. Definitely a winnable game though the team may be thinking about getting this road trip over with.

Going to go with 3-2 Nucks. Bo, Virtanan, and Pettersson the goal scorers.

[Strangelove]

Bo, Virtanan, and Pettersson the goal scorers.

The safe choices.

[Mickey107]

Seems like yesterday;

[5thhorseman]

Bo, Virtanan, and Pettersson the goal scorers.

The safe choices.

Tru dat, but at this point of the road trip it's the workhorses that will/should carry the team, Pettersson being the only doubt in that group. I'm not going to say the S-word.

[Mickey107]

Well, I'll just say I bet the guys are anxious to be coming home.
I didn't miss a preposition there did I? nah.

[Mickey107]

Hope they never have a riot there.

[Blob Mckenzie]

Seems like yesterday;

Canucks have been spineless for a good chunk of their history. Why show us these old videos of them getting tuned up?

[Mickey107]

Burrows. LOL

Ya, I know. We have a long shitty fight card with these guys.

[Hockey Widow]

OMG what do we do if Bachman gets a shut out? There I said it, its out.

[BladesofSteel]

4-1 Van

Peety, Gaudette x2 and Jake

[Chef Boi RD]

Yikes! Pull him now before it gets real ugly

Dumb move Travis

[Chef Boi RD]

Nice heads up pass by Pouliot
