Pre-Game Talk: [GM52] Vancouver Canucks vs Detroit Red Wings | Sun, Feb. 2nd | 5pm | SNP | New Faces, New Friends

[Icebreakers]

Need to see EP40 grow a pair and start being a play driver. Stop being a whimp and deferring all game.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Looks like Pettersson is 29, O’Connor is 18, and Chytil is 72.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Would it be fair to say he should be a top 3 player on our team in terms of overall skill (after Hughes and Petey)?

pardonne moi ?

 

[Lenny Levino]

pardonne moi ?

Yes

 

[TruGr1t]

I will be surprised if Chytil plays above Suter to start, since Suter was already being used in a top-six role before the trades.

Tocchet loves Suter and has no idea who Chytil even is.

He probably won’t love the fact that Chytil sucks at faceoffs

Didn't realize that the Red Wings are playing tonight. So they'll be playing a road back-to-back with the second game being earlier than usual.

So do Pettersson and Suter. Chytil, this season, is slightly better than both of them.

 

[Tact]

They should balance the top 6

Joshua - Pettersson - Boeser
DeBrusk - Chytil - Garland

 

[Vector]

So according to the press conference, pretty much everyone is a game time decision. All the new players will be in Vancouver, including Mancini, but it's up to medical and coaching staff to determine who plays. Sherwood and Hughes are game-time decisions as well. Hughes didn't practice with the team today and will get evaluated further.

Would kind of suck for D-Petey if he missed AHL All Star weekend just to ride the pine. But maybe he won’t mind given the paycheque.

So long as Juulsen has a seat, it should be fine. Anxious to see the new guys in action.

I’m saying O’Connor is the first of the newbies to score a goal.

 

[Soups On]

Absolutely cannot play Juulsen again. D Petey provides Juulsen's physical presence without the god awful decision making and puck skills

 

[Nona Di Giuseppe]

Hoglander - Pettersson - Karlsson
DeBrusk - Chytil - Boeser
Joshua - Suter - Garland
O’Connor - Blueger - Sasson/DiGuiseppe/etc

Hughes - Myers
Hronek - Pettersson
Soucy - Forbort

This is what I’m expecting.. with EP40s wings being swapped with whoever is playing well from the scrubs.

 

[BCRenegade1]

NN Pettersson.

MP3….MP3!!!!

But who’s gonna throw those useless big hits that turns into a 2 on 1 our way

I don’t think either of them plays, to be honest, barring Hughes being unable to go. With Marcus Pettersson arriving, we’d have Hughes, Hronek, Pettersson, Myers, Soucy and Forbort as a top six.

If Hughes is unable to play, then yeah, I sure hope D-Petey draws in and not Juulsen.

What about Mancini?
