Hey, did anyone know that Elias has an older brother Emil that was drafted by Nashville?

This is the first of 3 games in 4 nights for the Penguins. Look to them to be determined to win this one since Saturday's game they'll be bagged and Boston will think they have a chance on Friday. They'll know coming that the Canucks played last night.

Boston tried to win in the first two periods like they've been doing all season and Vancouver tried to let them bag themselves out. Lankinen made that happen. He was really smart with the rebounds and didn't let himself panic but has been making second efforts when that does happen.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Sasson in for Bains, Silovs starts.

Canucks are playing with 'house money' on a back-to-back. I was actually predicting a loss in Boston and a win in Pittsburgh.

This Pens team is just bleeding high-quality scoring chances. They're hanging their netminders out to dry night after night. Predicting Hughes will be freewheeling tonight with a lot of open ice. And Boeser usually feasts on the Pens.

But I guess any team with Crosby and Malkin in the lineup, has to command some respect.

This is my take

Never count out a named star in a game no matter how old they get or how bad the team is.

This was the take - Canucks won by playing a different style last night - their season record for blocked shots at the cost of puck control and in Boston's zone.

Sounds like Tocc's going to have them play a different style tonight. We saw what they did in Ottawa so being able to play different styles is a sign of a good team.

Do you think anyone would notice if we took Marcus Pettersson and left Hoglander at his stall in the Pens locker room after the game?

After a very hot start to the season, Malkin has been super quiet offensively in November. Wonder if age is finally catching up to him.

Of course I just jinxed him and he lights us up tonight. Sorry in advance.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Also, looks like Desharnais is an option, but with Juulsen taking rushes, is set to be a healthy scratch.

Bruh play my man Vinny wth

 

[RobertKron]

Is Cody Glass considered a bit of a bust by now? Was his 35pts with Preds a few years back his ceiling?

Looks like he might have run into the ... GLASS CEILING

Think it's safe to say Tocchet has liked Juulsen's last few games.

He has been a bit better once he got a string of games in. But watching him is still an adventure waiting to happen..

The Juulsen adventure: Stepping up to make a big hit, wowing the crowd right before surprisingly, the other team gets a breakaway or 2 on 1.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Juulsen doesn’t move the puck bad at all but if he was at least 10% better defensively and 90% smarter he would be a serviceable bottom pair dman. that one or two stretches of decent play a season is not good enough

Rutherford isn’t leaving Pittsburgh without Crosby on the Canucks plane

Crosby for a 7th round pick

The moe I watch Tock's pressers, the more I'm impressed.

Juulsen hasn't been quite so bad but certainly not good.

I see it as more he likes myers and soucy split up and soucy - Desharnais 3rd pair is worse than both soucy - Juulsen, and brannstrom - Desharnais.

 

[bbud]

Well that was a good start lol

 

[Bobby9]

myers man

 

[Lawzy]

Reffing picking up right where they left off last night.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

That penalty was so weak.
