Pre-Game Talk: GM 1: Vancouver Canucks vs. Anaheim Ducks - Jan 19 - 7:00PM PST - CBC

[Addison Rae]

Rather give Schroeder a shot than Ebbet. Schroeder may be able to break out into a top 6 forward.

Rather do whatever it takes to win games in this wacky season.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Good news.... LEss mark lee this year.

Rick ball was on team 1040 about an hour ago and said he will be doing a lot more western CBC games (vancouver, edmonton, calgary) including this saturday vs the ducks. HIs colour guy will be kelly hrudy.

Thank GOD. The Lee and Weekes duo makes me want to do horrible things to small, defenseless animals.

 

[me2]

So apparently the acquisition if Mark Fistric gets the Oilers in the playoffs. as per Button.

If we send them Alberts they are surely a lock for the cup.

And Canucks lose to Nashville. Despite Nashville losing Suter

05/06?

West Coast Express: best 2nd line in hockey.

Is anyone else concerned with AV's suggesting that this team play more defensive? I am really at a loss here.

AV suggesting the team to play more defensive? I'm shocked. Man, I wish we had Crawford to run the offense on this team. AV has to be on very thin ice. I'm still surprised he wasn't fired after that half-season/playoffs collapse. Just embarrassing. Yes, I know, we won the Prez's trophy, but the team was just barely squeezing out wins for pretty much half of the season and they couldn't elevate their play in the playoffs at all. They just looked so damn umotivated. It's too bad we didn't have a coach that could snap some sense into them during the reg. season.

 

[Intoewsables]

But I don't see them making it past the 1st round, too much inexperience.

Maybe they'd be like Chicago and Craig Simpson can tell us how they're doing well because they're too young to understand how hard the playoffs should be.

 

[Barney Gumble]

Maybe they'd be like Chicago and Craig Simpson can tell us how they're doing well because they're too young to understand how hard the playoffs should be.

Until the Oilers get a defenseman as good defensively as either Keith or Seabrook, the odds are stacked highly against them going much beyond one playoff round.

 

[Bieksallent]

Ryan Whitney was made for the playoffs. RUGGEDNESS PERSONIFIED.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

If you find his body, don't believe the suicide note.

*finds note*

".....SON OF A *****!"

 

[Samzilla]

So do we win this one or what? The Ducks have typically had our number for years.

Nope. I'm saying 4-2 Ducks.

Perry
Selanne (2)
Allen

Edler
Higgins

 

[KISSland]

Yeah we lose this one. Bounce back on Sunday.

 

[alternate]

Any word on who'll be starting in net for us?

 

[PG Canuck]

Any word on who'll be starting in net for us?

Ben Scrivens.

But seriously, Schneider, otherwise there's going to be a huge debacle because Luongo started the season, blah blah. Don't see any reason why Schneider wouldn't start anyways.

 

[struckmatch]

Any word on who'll be starting in net for us?

Is this a serious question?

 

[luongo321]

Ben Scrivens.

The debacle will start when Schneider gets ventilated by the Ducks. That team always finds a way to beat us. Nah, we'll be fine. Maybe we'll get off to a quick start this season with Cory in net?

 

[monster_bertuzzi]

Why do I kinda want Shcneids to get lit up on Saturday? The controversy would be epic.

The team better bring it until Lu is traded while Cory is playing. If they hang cory out to dry, it could get ugly.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Even after Luongo is traded, when the team loses in the playoffs because Schneider can't supplement our offense with 10 goals per series he will be vilified anyways. It's happened with one goalie...

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

I'm guessing Schneider starts and we win.

Lou starts sunday and we win again.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Is that the plan? Or just part of it?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I would guess Schneider on Saturday, Luongo on Sunday as well.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Is that the plan? Or just part of it?

Part of it. The wins are the plan..the goalies are just part of it.

Schneider will be the most hated man in town in a couple of years most likely.
