GDT: GM16 | Vancouver Canucks vs Nashville Predators | Sun. Nov 17th | 7:00pm PST | SNP | Sherwood vs Stamkos

[StreetHawk]

B2B at home is only done on weekends. As we get out of NFL season, expect that more from US clubs as they can do a Sat afternoon game, followed by a Sunday night game for a bit extra rest.

Most teams give their fans a day break between games, but, given how the NHL likes to avoid MNF, you'd then have a 2 day break before Tuesday following a Sat game.

Without the travel, the players do get home by around 11pm or so. Most of the players live in downtown or the west end. Can get their normal rest vs. getting to the next hotel by 2am.

Preds played in Cal on Friday, so in a rare situation, the road team is the more rested team.

I get the feeling that this is the game where Stamkos scores a hat trick on us.

Why speak evil into the world?

Brashear.

Too young. Paul wouldn't risk it.

Brashear.

Does anybody remember that hockey fights league they tried to start a decade or two ago? Just the goons dropping the glovers at centre ice…..was this real or a fever dream I once had

There have been a couple attempts at like a hockey boxing thing. Battle of the Ice Enforcers (with Link Gaetz!) is probably the one you're thinking of a while back, and I think the current one is called Ice Wars.

 

[Yultron]

My first game of the season, I’m looking forward to this one and seeing Stamkos in a Preds jersey

 

[PuckMunchkin]

How’d you take the Tyson loss to Paul, that one must have stung

He followed the script.

Both got paid.

Why people paid to see it is a mystery to me.

This will be a quiet, hidden game with the Grey Cup happening so maybe buried in the media.

I think more people in Vancouver will be watching a random canucks game then the championship game for the CFL personally.

Games are timed perfectly to watch both. 3pm Grey Cup 7pm Canucks game so less of a cluster f*** downtown maybe?

Hopefully this game will finally put the Sherwood vs Stamkos debate to bed!

Petey and Sherwood are the new Miller and Boeser you heard it here first.

 

[Hansen]

I really like what Sherwood brings to the Petey-DeBrusk line. They were dangerous all night. Hoping they pot one here

 

[JT Milker]

We’re playing again today??

 

[wonton15]

Kiefer Sherwood

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

Win this for Sherwood and Lankinen.

[wonton15]

No way?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

No way?

Way.



I don’t think he’ll play (yet) - but good for him.

 

[wonton15]

Forbort on IR and Desharnais banged up, but I can’t see D-Petey playing over Brannstrom/Soucy on the left side… Maybe they’ll try Pettersson-Brannstrom eventually after Juulsen has another disaster game.
