[youryeah]

wow. pretty surprised by this

 

[VoidCreature]

What a reward for staying up to watch. Hooray.

 

[Bleedred]

Welp, I guess I'm gonna go to bed.

I got a long and hard day tomorrow,

I'll catch up with everybody tomorrow.

 

[Blender]

If Blackwood stinks up the net I never want to see him again. He can stay in Vancouver.

 

[Bone Density]

Blackwood is 4-0-0 lifetime against Vancouver with a 0.75 GAA and two shutouts.

That's how you know they stink.

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

On second thought, maybe I’ll go to bed

 

[Cheddabombs]

Hmm 1 goal in Vanecek's last 2 games but no start. Interesting choice, very interesting

 

[Forge]

Hey....look at that.

Thanks again, fellas.

 

[jkrdevil]

Blackwood tonight…which I don’t agree with. You have Edmonton and Calgary twice after this. They kind of need to this game or this stretch could turn ugly. I would have put the best foot forward tonight to try to get a win and turn those next three into bonus games. Now Blackwood not foot tonight they could very well be looking down the barrel of 4 game losing streak if they lose those subsequent games against very good teams.

 

[Bleedred]

Can I HATE this post? Do I have to like it, love it or WOW it? Or nothing?

Welp, I'll just do this then

And this

And Bruce Boudreau's face when he seen this! He's EXCITED for a win tonight! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!

And here's one from WAAYYYYYY BACCCKKKK

SPACE JUNK!

Blackwood is 4-0 with 2 shutouts and GAA of 0.75 against the Canucks. I get it wanting Vanecek and I would've went with him but this kind of makes sense.

When is the last time he even played the Canucks?

Come on now - You can at least watch until he lets in 3 before 10:30

I don't even wanna hear this as rationalization for why he's starting. I mean from Ruff or defenders of this move, not from you.

HIS LAST f***ING GAME AGAINST THE CANUCKS WAS f***ING ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO TO THE DAY!

He hasn't played the Canucks since he's been really bad because we didn't play the Canucks in 20-21 and he wasn't dressed for either game against the Canucks in 2021-2022.

This guy needs to be extinguished from the organization like a f***ing forest fire at this point.

Best case is he has a good game (because BAD goalies have GOOD games all the f***ing time!), but the worst case is he'll get a longer leash because of it.

I know we can't play one goalie every game, but it's too soon for this. Too soon to waste a random start in a non back to back game.

If I'm not mistaken he had a pretty good record against the Flyers too. I don't know, I'd rather go with the hot hand right now then go off historical stats from years ago. But prove me wrong Big Mac!

 

[Bone Density]

I used to not even mind Tatar but this top line shit is nuts

 

[Blackjack]

I like how we can't disrupt the delicate feng shui of the club by putting in our 7OA pick from 2020 because he was less than perfect in a couple early games, but sure we'll just take out the guy that gave up one goal in two games because BlAcKwOoD nEeDs A tUrN.

 

[glenwo2]

YES!!! Tear right the hell through this road trip with 6 points and put the league on notice even more than they already should be!

I want this so bad. It's been too long.

I want us to go 3-0 as a massive MIDDLE-FINGER toward the Rags and Flyers (and other metro teams) for doing their annual 3-point bulls--t.

Yeah - I don't get it. The same rationalization for him playing against Washington, is why he shouldn't play tonight

 

[glenwo2]

And just as I post my last post, I discover that Blackwood is starting.

FML.

Nice try but..... No, it doesn't kind of make sense.

His last game against Vancouver was on November 10th of 2019. Which was about 155 weeks ago. Well over a thousand days ago.

Like, that was literally OVER ONE HUNDRED GAMES AGO for Blackwood!

Who's been REALLY BAD for SIXTY games now.

I'd say this start still looks wildly suspect.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Like why make the switch? Why be cute about it. Ruff loves to self sabotage.

 

[glenwo2]

Good thing I work overnight so I'll miss this more-than-likely LOSS to the only crappy team on this road trip.

0-4 incoming now.

Nice "coaching", Lindy.

YOU F**KING IDIOT!!!
