OTW-GDT - Canucks @ Red Wings - 01/12/24, 09:30 - SPac

[Topper]

Wakey, wakey, hands off snakey.

Don't forget the motor city.

If Red Wings gives you Bulls, drive an AMC Matador.

Who will be clutch and reign Supreme in this Motown classic?

[Cornuck]

As usual, it all comes down to this team playing a full 60 minutes, stay out of the box against the league's 4th best power play, and keep Silovs away from the net.

Not sure what our record is on morning-start games, but I'll guess it's not great.

As long as this team plays to garner some Respect, and not be asking What's Going On? by the 3rd, there will be Dancing in the Streets of Vancouver.

Time to Kick out the Jams, Motherfuckers!

Recording this one …

4-3 nucks

[donlever]

Newsy Lalonde is attempting to have his team play a structured, controlled, defense first type game.

To this end they inhabit the bottom 2 in the NHL in shots for per game at around 25.

They also can not score, averaging 2.5 GPG, .8 behind Vancouver.

Despite this their PP is dangerous at 4th o/a, which makes sense with Kane, Larkin, the drunk cat, Raymond and Seider available to them.

They are disciplined, T4 in the league with only 7 penalty MPG, which is lucky for them as their PK sucks, last in the league at 66%.

Kane is out which helps our cause.

Talbot is pretty much statistically equal to Lankinen thus far with a much worse W/L record however.

The kind of game the Canucks tend to suck in.

DeFuck DeWings.

Maybe...

[Megaterio Llamas]

Bains is back down in Abby Corn. He played in last night's game. I'm not sure who the spare forward is right now.

I really wouldn't hazard a guess as what we're going to see this morning. Hopefully everybody's had their coffee.

[Megaterio Llamas]

You can't really play hockey at 9:30 am and we're not. Other than Lankinen.

And I'm still on the sign Lankinen bandwagon.

[donlever]

To what end Megs?

As a Demko replacement?

[BoS]

Yawn. Back to sleep

[Megaterio Llamas]

To what end Megs?

As a Demko replacement?

Not to beat a dead horse Donny.

But yes.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Hey, it's Big Peter.

[donlever]

To what end Megs?

As a Demko replacement?

Not to beat a dead horse Donny.

But yes.

Ok..so he's clearly sold you as a decent enough #1.

Like good enough for a Cup on a legit team, Darcy Kuemper-ish type thing.

[Megaterio Llamas]

Yawn. Back to sleep

On a 5 on 3 pp?

[Megaterio Llamas]

Brother Jake!

[Megaterio Llamas]

To what end Megs?

As a Demko replacement?

Not to beat a dead horse Donny.

But yes.

Ok..so he's clearly sold you as a decent enough #1.

Like good enough for a Cup on a legit team, Darcy Kuemper-ish type thing.

Yep. Steady, affordable and in the lineup.

[Carl Yagro]

Jake is awake.

Streaky, freaky and finally peaky thru the blinders.

Megs, are you overrating Eddie Lank? Everything looks good now, but recall Spencer Martin also looked decent when initially thrust into the role.
