Gotta figure out how to score 4 goals, cause you know Mack will get a goal, Rant will probably get at least 2.

Yep, we're f***ed.

 

[EpochLink]

If we come out flat like last game, heads will roll.
Win this game you ****** ***********

 

[Rowlet]

Just win please

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Show up or get blown out.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Good news is I legit don't they could possibly be any worse. So...

 

[Vector]

I don't think this is for cap purposes. Seems Sasson has taken Raty's spot and they don't want him sitting in the press-box. Canucks are at 22/23 roster spots and Silovs, who they didn't say anything about, is still up under emergency recall conditions. Silovs doesn't count as a roster spot or against the cap.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Still no idea if this team is good or not. Not letting losses turn into more losses is what separates good teams from the bad ones.

This is a big game we got here!

Thought the Panthers would eat us alive and the opposite happened. Surely they’ll show up, right?

It has been 7 periods since Panthers scored a goal, let that sink in lol.

And it seems highly likely that they will end their western Canada road trip with a 0-3.

Would be absolutely hilarious to see the Oilers shutting them out too.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

It's a home game so I'll lower my expectations. Just please, with a cherry on top, don't play like total dogshit

But you said to lower expectations.

I trust the team knows what will happen if they show another erectile dysfunction effort tomorrow.

Jeers from the fans will the least of their concern.

 

[wonton15]

I mean, you can’t really blame Tocchet for the D he was dealt, and the Top 6 makes sense with how we’re going right now

 

[Quinning]

I can't believe Hoglander is still here.

Sasson on the 2nd line is something.

 

[wonton15]

Rutherford with a front row seat to a home practice before a big game at home. I know it’s not that weird to have management watch, but I imagine the players should be on high alert.

 

[Josepho]

Sasson is top 10 in the league in 5v5 P/60. He absolutely deserves a chance higher in the lineup.

Joshua doesn't seem to have it right now, he and Garland don't have the results they did last year.

 

[Vector]

I’m a big fan of giving those forward lines a shot. Not so much on he defence but there’s extremely limited options there.

it was always curious how on a team with 5 top-6 forwards, the team always seemed to have one on the 3rd line.

I kind of get it from a play driving perspective but, and this goes into last season as well, one of the top-2 lines has pretty consistently faltered.

 

[rypper]

Even if it's temporary, Sasson deserves a shot with how he's played.
