Hughes is already playing high leverage min with Myers, Soucy Hronek shouldn’t be harder for Hronek.

Felt like there should have been a game tonight. I'll just sum up our efforts on here.
Good
Vector - He's really carrying our asses these days. We would be as active as HF Atlanta Thrashers if he weren't here.
Kryten - He's contributing a lot more. You can see the rapid growth in his development.
M2Beezy - Steady presense. It's truly like he's a bot...
MS - Always a sure bet to attack posts that include Jfresh charts... as he did earlier today.
Bad
No one.
Ugly
SopelFanThe3rd - How is he still here?

Maybe AI could whip up a good preview. HF Canucks got AI?

@VanJack What do you have for us, chief?
Ill be back to mainly lurking through the week during games. So sorry to those that like me and congrats to those that dont
Tocchet won't permit Brisebois play as an RD with a LHS. I'm going to bet it'll be Desharnais or Juulsen.

Sure, why not? Go with Forbort-Soucy as the shut down pair and Brisebois-Myers on the 3rd pair.
Will the Canucks be motivated against one of the top teams in the NHL? Well maybe they can get juiced up by taking a look at tonight's standings in Western Conference.
If the season ended today, the Canucks wouldn't be one of the playoff teams in the West. But that's what happens when you've won just 19 times out of 42 games.
Calgary, which won tonight and leapfrogged the Canucks, now have 21 wins. The Canucks have exactly one more regulation win than the Kraken, the Ducks and the Utah Hockey Club.
Is it disappointing? You're damn right it is.

@Vector is always the MVP because half my posts are prodding him for eating plain Udon noodles or blaming him for things like The Great HF Blackout of 2025 and he hasn't banned me once yet.
Firmly wields the hammer but shows impressive restraint, a role model for us all.
I only take the piss because you're my favourite, it's my love language.

A forgotten or rarely mentioned advantage for Winnipeg is the weather.
A wind chill of -31 C, very low humidity.
For warm weather teams the drying out of the mucus membranes does make a difference. Hard breathing can become a little painful. The cold can cause cramping or enhance the chances. Also hits hurt a lot more.
For Winnipeg players they are acclimatized.
Just looking for another excuse if they lose.
Oh ya, Winnipeg is a pretty damn good team to and score every way.
They have huge forwards and while no Sherwood the smallest guys are 6' tall. Once they plant in front of the net they are difficult to move or box out.
Demko's first game in a week and only his 9th of the season.
Hronek rumored to play in this game. You have to wonder what that lower leg surgery was, it sounds a like cartilage procedure. If not major then 5 or 6 weeks is more than enough. Like snipping off a floating piece won't alter muscle tone too much. I would be more concerned about the shoulder recovery. This sounds rushed.

I can see it now, Juulsen hops on for the line change, Hronek still hasn't made it to the bench, and they skate into each other, causing Hronek to re-injure himself and miss the remaining season.
Typically when a goalie gets a shutout they start again unless its a back2back
Since Briesy boy Bois is coming out for Hronek Id rock this:
Hughes Juulsen
Hronek Myers
DayHarNay Sue-Sea
Hughes Juulsen
Hronek Myers

After the last two months of carrying Myers, Juulsen and Desharnais I think Hughes might legit fight Tocchet if he didn't give him Hronek back.
Pretty crazy stat right there but Demko not starting and Miller most likely isn't 100%
