GDT: GM 24 | Vancouver Canucks @ Minnesota Wild | Dec 3rd | 5:00PM PST | SPAC

Boeser notably Penguins and LA as of recent.

Oddly enough I remember Kesler always showing up to games against Minnesota. I can recall at least 10 goals he’s scored off the top of my head.

I recall Raymond dominating a bunch of Flames games as well.

The Sedins used to absolutely dominate Edmonton. I’m not sure it showed on the stat sheet, but their puck possession while on the road against them was absurd. Same deal with Toronto, they put up some absolute banger games against them. Petey right now always brings it against Ottawa for some reason, dude completely owns them and I have no clue why.

Hedjuk and Brunette are the biggest Canucks killers I can remember. Them, and any journeymen, 4th string goalie making their NHL debut, those were scheduled losses

We always lose in Minnesota.

 

[rypper]

My memory isn't the greatest (concussions d'oh) but I seem to recall Rolston pulling out the slapper on a shootout attempt.

That’s my recollection as well.

When the Wild first came in the league they acted like an expansion team. Technically they were but no one understood how they lost the North Stars.
For some reason they decided that the Canucks were their rivals. The one way rivalry was bizarre. I know their isolated and remote but our rival was always Winnipeg.

Almost incidental contact. Maybe a $5000 fine on the Canuck player there

The Minnesota media and fans would conveniently show the video right after the flying elbow by Koivu and scream about their moral superiority.
You think Koivu didn't know about his previous fractured jaw by Peca?

Wild are big, play heavy and are skilled. Im thinking we take a L tonight

 

[wonton15]

This feels like a game we go down 3-0 early, climb back to 3-2, then it unravels in the third and we lose 6-3

Hope I’m wrong!

I've been wanting to start a thread on Canuck Killers for a long time.

all backup goalies ever

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

The one-sided Wild rivalry with the Canucks comes from two things:
- Bertuzzi taunting their fans before blowing a 3-1 series lead in the 2003 playoffs
- Ohlund knocking out Koivu for months for retaliating for an attempted headshot

 

[valkynax]

Jeek? Huh, you know what I kinda dig that acronym.

 

[bh53]

I had a dream last night that Jake Debrusk scored a goal within the first 5 minutes of the game tonight. Hope it becomes true

 

[Curm]

Lankinen's going to have to steal one tonight, hope he's not too gassed.

I was a kid but that was when Bertuzzi told them to pack their golf clubs right?

He forgot we had Cloutier and his gigantic 5-hole in net.

Expectations

• Every time you play a game, you expect to win
• When he was a player, never understood the idea that the last game on a road trip is the hardest to win
• Guys have an opportunity to get more ice time

Contributions Throughout the Line-Up

• Throughout the road trip have seen young players do something to help the team
• Sasson’s assists and Raty winning key faceoffs are mentioned
• They need everyone to contribute
• Can’t have 4 or 5 passengers

Lankinen

• Put your work in, believe in yourself, and believe in the team and special things can happen
• Doing a real good job of staying in the moment
• Doesn’t look ahead at the next game

Who's in goal tonight for us?

 

[Vector]

Who's in goal tonight for us?

Lankinen is believed to be starting.

 

[Canuckle1970]

Lankinen is believed to be starting.

Many thanks!
