Kesler between Kassian & Raymond. Roy between Higgins & Hansen at #Canucks morning skate

Bertuzzi.. Those 3-4 years when he was a bad ass mother ****er was great and frustrating at times...

 

[Canucks LB]

higgins is back, thank you lord

 

[Pip]

sounds like Roy with Higgins and Hansen so I guess Kesler will be with Raymond and Kassian

Nux lines in morning skate: twins-Burrows; Higgins-Roy-Hansen; Raymond-Kesler-Kassian; Ebbett-Lapierre-Weise.

So sounds like..

Sedins-Burrows
Raymond-Kesler-Kassian
Higgins-Roy-Hansen
Ebbett-Lapierre-Weise

 

[m9]

I'm fine with these lines. Would rather Ebbett was out but the most important thing is Roy back to center.

Nux D pairings at morning skate: Hamhuis-Garrison; Alberts-Edler; Barker-Ballard.

I think while Bieksa and Tanev are both out we need to split that Hamhuis-Garrison pairing to spread out the depth. I would like to see something like this;

Hamhuis - Ballard
Alberts - Edler
Barker - Garrison

Barker-Ballard is a little too scary at the moment IMO and sets up Ballard for failure. Barker is just a disaster.

Game Day, Boyz!.. and ladies!

Hope Higgins is 100% healthy. We need him ready for playoffs. I have no issues sending him to Hawaii for two weeks just to make sure he's healed up. haha

Exactly, Kassian has had a couple strong games...move him back up with the twins, put Burr with Kesler and Hansen. Roy with Higgins and Raymond.

And most importantly, flush Ebbett like the turd he is and bring up Schroeder.

Disagree. Feed Hamhuis and Garrison the tough minutes on the top pairing for 24-25 minutes. Edler and Alberts should be in the 20-21 range. Ballard and Barker don't penalty kill or really do anything so limit their minutes on the third pairing.

Cory Schneider first Nux goalie off. Looks like he's starting vs Wings.

 

[shortshorts]

RKK line looked good last time they were together. I expect a big night from them.

@FarhanLaljiTSN38s
Schneider starts for #canucks. As expected

Those are some great lines right there. I also agree with you about Ebbett and Schroeder. What terrible mismanagement of a youngster right there. What better way for the kid to learn then by playing him in NHL games. Whose ever decision it is to have Ebbett on the roster and not Jordan, that person is an idiot.

Even if he was put with Roy and Higgins that would be better than Kesler imo. Kassian works well off the cycle and is comfortable making plays in tight spaces. He would be a great match for either of those lines.

Looks like Chris Higgins (knee) will not play tonight. Steve Pinizzotto says he's in despite not skating on a line in morning.

Damnit! Luc jinxed us!

Good that they aren't rushing him back. Hopefully the team has the last two games vs. Detroit in their mind when they suit up tonight. Could use some pride.

Another game with Weise or Ebbett on the third line?

 

[luongo321]

I'm glad Schneider is playing. Red Wings are in Lu's head just like the Hawks and Bruins were.

Exactly!!! Ah well....caution wins out...for the best I assume.


@FarhanLaljiTSN8m
Pinizzotto off well before Higgins. Likely means Higgins needs more time. #canucks

Hopefully not too much time..

 

[Canucks LB]

higgins not playing, maybe he felt something go wrong in the pre-skate?
