Pre-Game Talk: [GM71] Vancouver Canucks @ New York Rangers | Sat, Mar. 22nd | 10am PST | SNP | Puttin' On A Broadway Show

If the season ended today, both the Canucks and Rangers would be dusting off the golf clubs.

Hard to say the deal has materially improved the fortunes of either team. Although the Canucks did leverage the first rounder they acquired from New York to land Marcus Pettersson and O'Connor.

But as of today, Mancini has been in and out of the lineup, and Chytil is out indefinitely. And Miller is picking up points in the Big Apple, but it isn't really translating into a serious playoff push. They were a 'bubble team' when he arrived; and they're still a 'bubble team'.

Probably a trade we won't be able to really grade until next season or even beyond.
 
Miller and Petey at the same restaurant?

So...

Who's dropping the gloves with JT? These morning games always end up being a bit testy or outright snoozefests.

Hey JT, how you liking New York buddy? That's OK, you always have golf to fall back on.
Canucks only have a couple of guys, maybe Forbort, Joshua? Guys that absolutely will not are Boeser, Garland, his noted buddies, Sherwood, Hoglander might, maybe, not DeBrusk or Suter, maybe Blueger, not Myers unless Miller really womps Hughes or Pettersson.

Nobody of any significance or to be worried about.

Be interesting to see if there is any dialogue with Tocchet

I wonder if Tocchet will try push some of Millers buttons in the pre game interview.

This is a game the Canucks should win... and those have been the games we seem to have lost the most. This should be a telling game for how it is going to go down the stretch.

Wanted to add we also always seem to be bad at these early games. Ugh... don't like this already.
This is a must win for both teams and probably a little more so for the NYR.

Can someone please wake me at 9:59 a.m. (0959 military time) tomorrow morning.


Use this to figure out what time you should set your alarm to. It works 10 times better than you would think.
