Post-Game Talk: GAME #45 - Canucks 2 vs. Red Wings 1 (SO) - What Did The Sedins Do To NHL Refs?

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

Seems likely...but on a positive note:

@patersonjeff1m
No Higgins for #Canucks tonight, but says he hopes to play Monday vs CHI

I am actually happy he isn't playing if he isn't 100%. Take as much time as you need.

True. I hope they take the same approach with Bieksa, at least during the regular season.

Thanks a ton guys! Now please kidnap Hughson and never let him leave Vancouver.

 

[xtr3m]

We get Hughson; nice.

Totally agree. I know we haven't clinched yet but we are going to make the playoffs and will need these guys healthy. Heading into the first round with guys on nagging injuries isn't a recipe for success. Let them heal properly. It's not like they need the last few games under their belts for seasoning. If they aren't there by now they won't ever be.

wrong board

 

[J Canuck]

It's nice to know he's close and also nice to know he's not pushing it. Do it right. I'm getting pretty excited, and of course nervous for the remaining games and playoffs.

Happy to take him off your hands.

I'm on a diet and you make a GDT about pizza?? What kind of business is this? You come late for one, and now you talk about coupon???

*ahem*

Hoping for an exciting game tonight with a playoff atmosphere. Not sure we will come out on top though, especially with how desperate Detroit will come out. In all honesty I wouldn't be surprised to see us blown right out, although I'm HOPING we show up and match their intensity.

Just when i thought we were clear of having ebbett as a 3C.

I really don't get AV's love for Ebbett. As a 3C he makes our 3rd line completely useless.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Tootoo is in for the Wings, Eaves out.

Could you give us one more win before we head to the East?

 

[deadinthewater]

I seriously rather see Lapierre over Ebbett at 3C, at least the guy hits and doesn't constantly get muscled off the puck. Ugh...

 

[HiggsBroson]

I think Chiggs is playing tonight.

Scratch that. He called earlier and said he's "80-85%". Out for tonight. Skating tomorrow. Hopefully plays Monday.

Do the Wolves still have playoff hopes? When can we recall Schroeder?

 

[CCF23]

Winning this one clinches a playoff spot and essentially salts the NW away as well.

 

[deadinthewater]

Anyone know who's going to be on After Hours?

 

[Tiranis]

If they win today then they still have a chance (although still need to win tomorrow and depending on other teams to lose). If they lose, they're out.

 

[CanucksOo]

Ken Holland and Schneids.

 

[PG Canuck]

The coaching staff regained some of my faith by starting Schneider. Still want them all fired.

 

[deadinthewater]

Ken Holland and Schneids.

Thanks!

 

[Addison Rae]

Ugh Ebbet on the 3 rd line

 

[MikeK]

Same. Lappy is an NHL level talent who can play the NHL game. Ebbett has the heart but just doesn't have the ability/size to go along with it.

I wonder if AV's love for these AHlers has something to do with his own past. He never made it in the NHL and maybe has a soft spot for others like him.
