Pre-Game Talk: GAME #3 - Canucks vs. Flames - Jordan Schroeder's First NHL Game!

[StIllmatic]

Flames were down 3-0 in the first, but they tie it up. We better win tomorrow, not so much that I'm worried, but I am sick of everyone bugging me about our "window being over."

 

[Orca Smash]

calgary looked good first period, than they looked their usual self after that against the sharks. same old crappy team- should be a win

Your quite confident in our team, first edmonton sucks we should win, calgary same old crappy team.

Calgary gives us trouble, and i think they were even against us last year.

I do hope we win in dominating fashion, and flames are my most hated team, but i would not call them crappy. They are capable of beating us so they cant be crappy.

Why does that bug you? How open was LA's window last season?

Team just needs to get healthy first, then start playing well. If they get healthy and stay healthy, they can go toe to toe with any team.

Philadelphia took a year off to recover a few back....worked out decently for them. I'd rather suck out loud for a 48 game season with two of our top 5 forwards hurt and a goaltending controversy (allegedly...) with this draft, then suck out loud with a healthy roster for a full season.

I mean I'd rather just straight up sweep the next 62 games, but let's be realistic here

4-3 Flames sans Shredder, 5-4 with him. Calgary looks hungrier than we do.

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

Yeah I noticed Ballards eye. I want Ebbett gone. AV we want SCHOREDER!!! SCHOROEDER!!!!!! SCHROEDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My lineup:

Sedin-Sedin-Kassian

Higgins-Lapierre-Hansen
Volpatti-Malhotra-Weise

Hamhuis-Bieksa
Edler-Garrison
Ballard/Barker-Tanev

Schneider

Only two games down and the hate for Ebbett on these boards is already reaching epic levels.

Watching Ebbett play in the top six makes one reminisce for the days of Aaron Rome playing in the top four.

Yeah I noticed Ballards eye. I want Ebbett gone. AV we want SCHOREDER!!! SCHOROEDER!!!!!! SCHROEDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Schneider

That's exactly how I'd want to see it. Although without Barker there. Unless we're up by like 5 or something.

 

[Danrik]

Sedin's will eat up Kipper once again for our first win this year.

Speaking of eating, is Schroeder here yet?

 

[Zombotron]

Speaking of eating, is Schroeder here yet?

No, and I'm getting kinda hungry.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Surprised no one's said it yet - I think Mason Raymond gets on the board in this game, and not just because he'll be paired with Schroeder.

24GP, 8G, 8A, 16Pts vs. Calgary

lol. Ballard in that video.

solid stuff.

I'll never forget one of those two hat tricks he had against them. He was practically sitting back down on the bench when he realized that the puck he just lobbed towards the net went in.

Calgary area kid; I'd take their 2nd round, 31st-35th overall pick for him.

Doing forestry for Josh Morrissey.

Glad to know he at least still gets up for some games.

Hunger strike eh? Anybody got a good fish broth recipe?

She's bound to have a good one. Probably guzzles a gallon of it every two hours or so.

 

[PRNuck]

She's bound to have a good one. Probably guzzles a gallon of it every tow hours or so.

The picture of starvation.

 

[Pip]

Be sure to watch until the end.
Oh Ballard, you so funny

this lady is hopping back in her van afterwords to be greeted by 10+ cats.

lol at ballard

 

[Samzilla]

Congrats to Shredder for this being the first NHL game he'll play in. Two tips to prepare yourself, kid: look both ways before crossing the street (learn from Sauve)...and don't do what Ebbett did.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Go, Schroeder, Go! Can't wait to see him play his first NHL game.

IIRC, Cory Schneider played in his first NHL game against the Flames as well, did he not?

We've been told that Jordan Schroeder will wear #45.

Sad I won't be seeing Schroeder's first game live, but I will turn off all forms of social media and hide in a cave until I get home and watch it on PVR.

Great lineup. That second line should give the Flames some headaches. Raymond plays well against the flames, speed always burns them.
If Shredds can get a point or 2, the media will blow this up.
