Blackhawks on fire. Canucks not so much. So is this the telling game. Can we turn it off and on?

No..and the Bolland line will own the Sedins:(.. Maybe we get lucky and the other lines score enough to offset that.. But I do think the team will play a stronger game... maybe going from their "D" game to a C+ ..and squeeking a win.

Ironically that is the only thing that gives me any hope regarding the Sedin's game tonight.

In the last meeting between these teams the Sedin's stepped it up and actually embarrassed Bolland's line with Daniel scoring the winner in OT while Bolland was right there on his back in front of the net. Bolland's comments earlier this year regarding "the sisters" seemed to spur the Twins a little, and as passive as they can be at times, I think they are the best two players on this team when it comes to "flipping the switch". If Bolland is on the ice against them, expect the Sedin's to come to play if the game is close. (Coach Q will probably have Bolland out there almost every shift that the Sedin's see).

I guess the Sedins have now "figured Bolland out?"

Good posting Larry, good points.

But I'm sure I'm not the only one who fantasizes about a Sedin challenging Bolland to a scrap with a happy ending.

Craig Simpson?

I wouldn't go that far, but they will up the intensity and effort level against him.

I forgot all about that.

Bolland apparantly had his first ever fight this year?

Now that John Scott is gone, he'll have no one to hide behind.

So here's the alleged first fight for Bolland. Against TJ Galiardi, of course.

Upon inspection, Bolland should have gotten the 5 minutes for elbowing Statsny and 2 minutes for roughing.

I say if Bieksa was willing to drop them with Mayers this season for his previous escapades with Stalberg, then Bolland has to fight tonight. We'll even give him a softy like Lapierre, but he's gotta drop them, right?

If it hasn't been mentioned MAG and Malhotra are healthy scratches and Raymond and Salo are suiting up. Also, the Canucks signed Cannata to an ELC today.

Meds, could you please stop molesting the apostrophes in Sedins. 2 Sedins is plural.

I thought you guys weren't giving out grades yet?

Craig Simpson?

Don't you think that it's about time the Sedins find a way to produce when Bolland is on the ice?

1. I think I like dhabums GDT better.

I didn't see dhabums' GDT, but I'm sure it was much better than this attempt we're stuck with right here.

[donlever]

Ha ha ha.

Got me twice in one post Keyser.

A banner day.

Craig Simpson?

Nah, Craig Simpson fantasizes about every Canuck getting beat up and them losing every game 10-0.

Typical Albertan.

If a Sedin fucked-up Bolland real good, ole Craig would just find something else to criticize.

I wouldn't be surprised if Craig Simpleton fantasizes about happy endings with Nugent-Hopkins however.

Craig in the sauna,
Ryan do y'wanna?

but Bolland's gotta drop them, right?

I wish.
