GDT: [GM46] Vancouver Canucks vs Buffalo Sabres | Tue, Jan. 21sr | 7pm | SNP | Roster TBD

Last time Carson Soucy missed a hockey game it was because he cross-checked Connor McDavid.

Play dumb game win stupid prize.

And I'm not talking about Soucy.

 

[God]

it's hilarious watching media make the claim "garland was holding mcdavid and the league needs to protect its star players" as if it's some 6'8 300 pound behemoth pinning mcdavid to the ice

mask off. at best it's a holding penalty on garland when they both get up and he bear hugs him. but this isn't some dangerous play lmao.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Three game rest/watch from another vantage point, for the heavily played myers is really pretty okay, I'll be surprised if he's not a bit better afterwards.

Not like it really hurts the teams chances of winning, plenty of dmans can fill in those minutes for a few games.

 

[Canucks LB]

Wow, Oilers and Canucks fans are absolutely going at it on Twitter right now

Not even just fans. The play-by-play guys are going at it.

 

[theguardianII]

So last game the Canucks got a team that just played 8 games in 16 days and traveled over 9000 miles. It took Garland wrestling down McDavid to insure a one goal win. A very tired team.

Now they get a scheduled win. Buffalo just got smoked by Seattle and the Canucks must win because teams are catching up.

If Greenway was playing the Canucks would have problems, they have some big forwards over there.

Myers isn't playing so there are several posters that will be thrilled he's out. But ....

Vancouver has everything in their favor, they should easily win.

Winning this game is a meh, not really needing alot of great play. A goalie game maybe

But it's the Canucks in 2025 so ????

God, I miss Zadorov so much for things like this.

General Zad did bring intangibles to this team that I found to be quite invaluable.

 

[rypper]

Canucks will win. YOU KNOW THEY WILL.

jokes aside, I'm going to really watch to see why buffalo fans thing Dahlin is on par with or superior to Hughes.

Do they actually think that? I doubt majority of their educated fan base shares that opinion.

Dahlin is indeed a fantastic player, though.

They don't watch Hughes.

Dahlin is indeed a fantastic player, though.

There was a poll in the polls forum about all 3 Hughes brothers going 1st overall in a redraft of their year and there was a surprising amount of Sabres fans, and others, chiming saying Quinn wasn't a lock.

 

[VanJack]

Expansion cousins, Buffalo and Vancouver, aren't in a good place right now. Misery seems to love company.

The Sabres will put a couple of good games together, and then absolutely stink the joint out like they did in Seattle last night.

The Canucks are smoked by the Jets and Kings; and then play a fairly complete game against Edmonton.

Who know what'll happen tomorrow night at Rogers Arena? Maybe both teams still stink, and it'll be a 'loosey goosey' barn-burner.

With everything that went so cataclysmically wrong in the playoffs last year, I am so glad that we got this gem that will live on for eternity

it took almost 50 years but quinn hughes makes up for them winning the first overall pick and getting gilbert perreault

although rasmus dahlin >>>>>>>>> f***ing dale tallon

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

Dale would have been fine if they didn't have to use him everywhere and run his body down.

Oh shit. Heard that one before. Marcel Dionne was an inside job. #1971drafttruth

 

[David Bruce Banner]

Call up Pettersson, cowards!

 

[Three On Zero]

Last game was the TSN turning point on the season for this core. They saw what Myers and Garland did. They will now band together in solidarity.





Or they’ll lose the game

 

[Canucks LB]

Both parties F'd up in not agreeing on a contract.

I'd throw myself at him for even $4 schmill. I just genuinely like the guy, and even when he struggled, I didn't think he was all that bad.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

God, I miss Zadorov so much for things like this.

Even if we were still struggling, at least Zaddy was fun. This version of the team isn't fun.

Why are ordinary Joes paying for the meals of millionaires?

No, it's not.

THIS, however, IS fun.

Oh sorry I mean WAS fun.

What Garland did was more frustrating than it was violent. Holding McDavid down and pinning him. Not throwing punches or cross-checking him while he was down.

Does Garland do that if it isn't the final 20 seconds knowing that even if he got a penalty, there is minimal time left for the Oilers to set something up? Not something he'd do in the first 58 minutes of the game.
