4-2 Canucks.

Bc Expat can have this today. The hockey gods have seen his plan and won’t fall for it.

I think we can win this one. Calgary is really bad too. And I'm not sure if the Hockey gods are watching us anymore. We are in a godless hockey purgatory.**

Could do.

Apparently we get Cooley tonight so our run of "non" legit 1's between the pipes to start the season endures....

..although true of us as well lol...

Rumour has Merilainen starting so maybe we see another high scoring affair.

Speaking of our new tender....decent newly minted mask on him.

DeBrusk won’t play because of illness, according to Canucks coach Manny Malhotra, after skating as an extra forward in practice on Friday. … Vancouver held an optional morning skate but based on practice Friday, Cotter will move up from the fourth line to take the place of Rossi, who will skate at left wing on the first line, and Raty will enter the lineup after two games as a healthy scratch. … Merilainen will make his first start since being claimed off waivers from the Ottawa Senators on Oct. 25.
