L-GDT: Canucks @ FLA - Nov 17, 4pm SNP, ESPN+

[Cornuck]

After a thrilling come-from-behind win, this team has shown that it's 'not dead yet'. It has not ceased to be nor is it bereft of life!

In fact, at the 20 game mark, the Canucks might just be ready to turn the corner (?) OR..... are they really pining for the fjords?

Now I didn't come here for an argument, and anyone jumping off the bandwagon can just silly-walk their asses outta here. I remember when this team used to really suck, and the arena was empty, all the players were teenage girls and we didn't have a goalie. But if you tell that to young people today, they won’t believe you!

Nobody expects a win tonight - so just settle back into the comfy chair and watch us confuse these cats!

Worst case scenario.500 trip


4-3 nucks

Wonder if Patera gets the start?
Hopefully the Canucks aren't too burnt out from playing yesterday and can come out with some jump.

[JelloPuddingPop]

Tough opponent under tougher circumstances.

Win or loss, I hope to see a bit of that grit they showed last night - building on it. Sometimes the better team wins anyway, but the gumption shown is what is important to me.

Sometimes the underdog surprises with a quick uppercut. 5-4 OT Van.

Status report

The Canucks did not hold a morning skate after a 6-2 win at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. … If Lankinen starts, it would be his second set of back-to-back games this month and his seventh consecutive start. … Garland left the game Sunday in the second period; Canucks coach Adam Foote said the forward tweaked something and was unsure of the severity. … Luostarinen, a forward, will not play and is day to day, according to Panthers coach Paul Maurice. … Balinskis will play for the first time since Oct. 28.

Off topic but Lukas Reichel kind of reminds me of Artem Chubarov, decent defensive centre but just no offensive capability.

[UWSaint]

Fun fact: If the Canucks win tonight, they will have a better record than the Stanley Cup defending champs.

Prediction: That sentence won't be said again this season.

But hey, Go Canucks Go.

[2Fingers]

I will quote from our illustrious leader:

"shoot the damn puck, and there better be someone in front of the net". Time to stop looking for the perfect shot that never comes, and just fire "Pucks on Net".

Does not seem hard can they do it 2 games in a row?

[Cornuck]

Patera gets the start!

Oh yeah, we're gonna win.

We're the laser pointers to these felines. Confusion is our game.

Pump n dump, Tciso. Genius move.

lol Garland is out too.

Patera gets the start in goal.

Off topic but Lukas Reichel kind of reminds me of Artem Chubarov, decent defensive centre but just no offensive capability.

Well, in my opinion he is in the right place a lot and could fairly easily have 4+ goals… snake bit a hair

It is said that he is better suited to/more productive at center.

We will see shortly.

[Cornuck]

Yay! We got a shot!
