GDT: Jan 10: Canucks @ Lightning - 4:30pm SNet-P

[tantalum]

well it certainly has become apparent that there are games they don't give a shit about.

Of course, they went on a run so a bit of a let down for a stretch is expected.

[mathonwy]

Holy fuck Bieksa...

Right now, I think it's 50% good shifts and 50% sloppy shifts.

Tampa's not exactly playing great hockey and the Nucks are still screwing it up.

[tantalum]

Canucks are just driving Schneider's value to the bolts up. Have to think about the future you know.

[mathonwy]

Wow were the Sedins ever punked on that shift.

[mathonwy]

Canuck best line so far?

Manny, Duco and Weise.

Surprisingly.

[rats19]

Winning 4-2?????? Sounds like we are losing 4-2... what's manny doing? Improving?

[newcanuckfan]

Well, they're certainly making it tough on themselves again tonight.
Let's hope they find it in them to bear down and hang on for the 2 points.

[newcanuckfan]

Brutal. They just don't have the shit to put games away.

[mathonwy]

Canucks are looking absolutely horrible.

I don't really know what to make of this.

Giving up a 2 goal lead?

[Southern_Canuck]

Mike Murphy asks, "Was this against the Kings? No?"

"Well then, although there was no distinct kicking motion, there was a kicking motion - but because I am a corrupt NHL official that reports to Colin Campbell, I will say this is a good goal."

At least we're not giving away points in our own conference.

FUCK.

What an anticlimactic road trip. Even if we win this game, I won't be happy.

[rats19]

Would you rather have lost to Boston and beat both fla teams? Smart money says yah, heart says..fuck Boston..

[Boston Canucker]

Well,that was a tired team hanging on. They didn't deserve the win the way they played in the 3rd, but they got through it. But man, were they ever off. They better get their air by the time they play St. Louis. They'll get crushed if they don't. Take the 2 points and hike on out of town. And boys...get some sleep!

Is Guy Boucher actually insane? He looks crackers on that bench.

We looked tired in the third. But the twins looked like men against boys but no finish. It is frustrating to watch them blow 3, 2 goal leads like that but getting the SO win is important. Keeps us up on Minny and starts to be distance between us and the rest of the West. Unfortunately with all the teams in the East close behind with a zillion games in hand holding onto the league lead will be difficult. But I'll take it.

It really does show you that we are not that deep on defence with quality D'men. With Salo out it really really shows. Hopefully he won't be gone for long. Even with Rome back soon we still do not have the quality depth we will need to get through. Mg needs to seriously think about upgrading the backend somehow.

The guys looked tired and I do think that the Boston game took a lot out of them physically and emotionally. But a game against St. Louis for the Conference lead should be an important one to them. A regulation win we go up by 5 points, a loss and they are only 1 point back.

[rats19]

Or better yet....beat Boston and win one and lose one in Florida...yah fucking eh.
