L-GDT Canucks @ Jets Apr 18 5 pm PDT SN Pac TSN3

[Megaterio Llamas]

Regular season finale. Demko the probable starter in goal again and for this reason once again the Canucks should be motivated to put in a decent effort to get Thatcher rolling into the playoffs. And a good effort will be needed against the high flying Jets. I guess we'll see if the full roster made the trip when it gets closer to game time but I have a feeling we will be close to full strength, I can't see Hughes for one sitting it out with the defense scoring race with Makar going down to the wire.

[Picker of Cherries]

Miller, Hughes, Pettersson, Boeser, Hronek and Garland have played every game this season. They won’t want to miss the last one, and break their streaks. If none of them are sitting then the Canucks will be playing a near full line-up. Maybe a few moves like Juulsen in for Cole happens, but I expect it will be a near full strength line-up. It will be up to Tocchet to play the bottom lines more and limit Hughes’ minutes to mostly PP work.

[Topper]

Too late to tank.

Go for the W and get that home ice advantage in the playoffs for the WC, except against Dallas.

[Cornuck]

Be interesting to who 'shows up' tonight. Seems like neither team will want to take chances with injuries, etc - so hopefully, not a physical game tonight.

[Carl Yagro]

Huggy will dominate this game of shinny to lock down the SNorris.

[Strangelove]

Yep, shinny fo sho bro.

[Cornuck]

Time to see if Fiddy can drive the bus.

Upcoming PDG hatty - glad the black aces get a game.
12-3 Canucks.

[Carl Yagro]

Look at that Jets depth even with all their top guys eating popcorn. Good, young players like Perfetti and Appleton still have to play on the 4th line. We got... Aman.

What an underrated re-tool by Chevy.

[Megaterio Llamas]

That's 20 for Garland!

[Picker of Cherries]

One goal, one shot - PDO - WE’RE BACK!

Garland, the short bus driver

Someone noticed the nice Little play made by Lindy? He's hopping tonight.
