Rode it once long ago.

Nice GDT. Ugh well by the looks of it Bieksa tweaked his groin and if he cannot play on Sunday against the wings then Alberts is gonna play. I don't think Alberts is that bad but I want to see a new player play. I was looking forward to Barker or Vandermeer.

Isn't the game at 2:00?

Barker over Vandermeer.

Did it smell like cigarettes and desolation?

 

[BrandonL]

Wings are a mess right now, definitely not the same team they once were.

Hopefully the Canucks can keep the impressive road trip going.

 

[StringerBell]

Isn't the game at 2:00?

Yep.

Yep.

What are you guys talking about? It says 2:00pm right there...



because I changed it.

 

[Zombotron]

Yep.

That's weird, I looked at the game information on canucks.com and I swear it said 5:00--

I mean, what?

Not sure how to smell desolation, but this was about 10 years ago and before the recession that ravaged Detriot. That being said, the downtown core has always been a bit sketchy, but I still love the city as I grew up across the river from it.

Don't you mean BIZARRO canucks.com?

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Yeah I am pretty sure it is 2:00pm our time.

 

[MajorCanuck]

Windsor?

Yup!

Play 'ard and win da turd (in a row).

Wings don't have nearly as much depth as years past, but we still need to be careful of Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and the like.

Play 'ard and win da turd (in a row).

That's for sure.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I'll re-iterate what I said in the Nashville GDT - let Bieksa rest, no sense in him potentially aggravating what appears to be a (hopefully) minor injury at this point. Also good to keep your depth guys semi-fresh in case they need to be called upon.

Detroit may not be their usual, defensively stingy self sans Lidstrom, but Zetterberg has been on fire. He and Datsyuk, of course, will be huge threats.

 

[shortshorts]

Hoping for this.

 

[CCF23]

Have to think Luongo gets the start. I'd like to see Luongo run a few games in a row. He's still in the zone and you can't sit 5-0-3 with a 1.45GAA, .941 SV%, and 2 shutouts. Plain and simple, Luongo is giving us Vezina caliber goaltending right now. Use it.

Vigneault always goes with the guy coming off the shutout. That, coupled with the fact that there's a day's rest in between, says to me that this is Luongo's start 100%.

Luo's NHL photo is such a troll face.

 

[Nuckles]

I hope Kesler and Booth have a good game in front of their hometown crowd.

[Mr. Canucklehead]

That...is frightening.
