GDT: GM09 | Vancouver Canucks vs New Jersey Devils | Wed. Oct 30th | 7:40pm PST | SNP | Brotherly Hate

We only have 1 win at home this year.

We have gotten points in 7/8 games this year.


Both these statements are true.

Honestly, since I'm old school, and remember ties, I kind of view the Canucks through 8 games as 3-1-4. Since I don't value 3 on 3 OT. Half of their games have gone into extra time.

Should even out over the year, but with the current setup, they are getting points.

I’ve seen this pattern a thousand times before - 4 game win streak, then squeak out a loser point the next game. The trend here is next game loss, and with Silica, it could be a bit of a laugher.

Show us something Pettersson.

 

[Flik]

I was wondering why it "felt" like games against NJ were an automatic loss so I did a bit of digging:

Over the last 10 years against NJ we've won a whopping 5 times to their 15 times in our head to head matches.

They've also outscored us 64-47 over those games.

double header following with the Jets vs Det apparently. Det is doing a 7:30 local puck drop for some odd reason.

Silovs is gonna get torched

 

[mossey3535]

Well I'm looking forward to seeing Silovs, I think a lot of work with the coach will do him some good. So hopefully we see the fruits of those labors.

Ideally he can play semi regularly so we don't wear out Lankinen who I think has a 40 game ceiling in GP.

 

[Canuckle1970]

I'm also a little concerned about Silovs, and as another poster said, thought he might get a start on the California trip. But, for this player's sake, and the management, they have to see if he can handle a high pressure game, like tonight will be.

And the sooner, the better.

Silovs is gonna get torched

Unfortunately the Canucks are giving up a bushel-full of quality chances night after night. So far, Lankinin has been stellar and masked a lot of the defensive breakdowns.

And against the Devils, you know there are going to be defensive breakdowns. Kinda feel sorry for Silovs. Hasn't played in a couple of weeks, and then gets thrown into the breach against one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the East.

It puts so much pressure on the goaltender when he has to make five or six 10-bell saves just to keep the score close. Hoping for the best for Silovs....as he's a likeable kid. Maybe the Canucks will rally around him and resolve to keep the puck out of their own net for 60 minutes.

Im sure Hughes parents will be at the game tonight. Quinn and Jack likely bet on the loser pays for their trip and family dinners

[thecupismine]

Why is the start time so late, gonna keep me up past 1am to watch this one.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Saw the Lijligren trade

I know Sharks doesnt care about cap space
But I woundnt pay anything valuable for that player with his contract

Double header following jets/wings on SN. Det scheduled a 7:30 local puck drop for some reason.

Not even worried about the grade A chances in the slot when it comes to Silovs... it's Dougie Hamilton flinging them from the point we should be afraid of.

(although I have him in my pool so I wouldn't be too upset)

You dont make the minimum wage sibling pay

[LordBacon]

I apologize to @Vector @EpochLink and @thecupismine in advance , but I think the Canucks lose this one 5-3

I really hope I’m wrong though

[Kryten]

Get your bets in on when the actual puck drop will be. 743 is my bet

 

[Canucker]

Si10vs?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Get your bets in on when the actual puck drop will be. 743 is my bet

Cat - How about 744?

Kryten - Why 744?

Cat - No particular reason. I just wanted to make it seem like I was paying attention.

 

[Soups On]

10:40 pm start time for me. Sigh - looks like I'm gonna stay up late to watch some dudes swing their sticks and snack till I hate myself, again
