GDT: [GM79] Canucks vs Coyotes | Wed. Apr 10th, 7:30pm | SNP | Salt Lake City Soakers

Would be bonkers to carry three goalies, unless Demko's health remains in question, which isn't good. Silovs will be backup next year, should let him start for Abby.

Go with 3 goalies. Put Silovs on D.

Vejmelka started yesterday so we'll get Ingram today.

Here's there lines from last night. Expect some changes.

I just searched it up not knowing what it meant.

Lmfao reminds me of when I was a kid and I’d put my crotch on those pool jets in swimming pools and just stay in this floating state of bobbing my head just above water and staying in that position until I got tired. Just bobbing up and down facing toward the deck all day.

I’m pretty sure every single adult knew what I was doing. Every time I hopped in thats whered you’d find me. Facing the deck with my crotch on the Jet nozzle.

The bar for information we devulge has been raised again, I see.

Then we can put Z and Myers on EPs wings, and just tell them to go hit like crazy!

 

[Bankerguy]

I really cant make up my mind on the lines if/when Lindholm is back.
Zona isnt a stud team, this would be a good first game back where he can play 12 - 15 minutes, low pressure situation.

Really, not sure what to do with the lines.
Maybe you leave the top six as is right now but then instead of doing
Mik Bluegar Suter
You go Mik Lindholm Suter - these are kind of the three misfits / under performing guys ... you put them out there and try to get them to play as a + line and then call it a day.
I dont think people remember how good Mikheyev was when he was at his best last year.. he was flying in on the forecheck and generating chances for Petey... him back to playing well and Lindholm improving to a 50 - 60 pt guy caliber guy could be a really good combo. Not sure how realistic that is though.

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Looks like we may see Silovs again in net.

 

[TruGr1t]

Tocchet has been pumping Silovs tires a lot lately, not surprised.

There’s never a surprise with Tocchet. You know exactly how he’s feeling

 

[wonton15]

Silovs will take us to the promised land (a win against the Coyotes)

 

[Bgav]

7-2 Canucks. Hattrick for PETEY

Get ready boys...we will have a goalie controversy when Silovs takesover for Demko this playoffs and have to deal with countless trade proposal threads over the summer.

"Bobby McMann and Woll for Demko"

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

On tonight - must win territory here, and no excuses. Arizona is on the second half of a back to back, and we have McDavid and the Oilers looming on Saturday. We do not want to turn that into a game where they can catch us with a win.

 

[Flik]

Glad to see Silovs starting, good call.

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Put DeSmith with Hughes.

If we win and Vegas loses tonight, our first round opponent odds skyrocket towards it being Nashville.

Otherwise it still can go a lot of different ways.

I still do not give a flying f*** who we play but for the coaching staff, it may be nice to know sooner to start preparing.

 

[Pogotheclown]

I think they will win this one if shelob starts.
The team turned it on last game.

DeSmith 2 weeks ago: “This is the best I’ve felt about my game since entering the nhl”


Life comes at you fast

Yeah I don't really think any of our prospective opponents are that much better or worse than the others, other than how boring to watch an LA series would be. It would just be really nice to know ahead of time though for preparation as you said. I do feel kinda of dirty cheering for the Oilers though.

 

[alternate]

I'd rather we win and the Oilers lose. Winning the division is more important imo than who we play.

If you were LAK or VGK, would you rather face EDM or DAL in RD1?

 

[Vector]

 

[TruGr1t]

McDavid possibly out versus Vegas tonight, let's lock this division down.

 

[VanJack]

Connor Garland seems to reserve some his best games for his former team......some mornings he must wake up and pinch himself, when comparing playing in Phoenix with being in Vancouver.

It's hard to feel empathy for any NHL players, given the money they earn. But you'd have to have a hard heart not to feel a little sympathy for the guys playing out a string in the desert. They play every day in a rinky-dink rink in a market where nobody seems to care much or want them to stay.

Every off-season is the same. The payroll is slashed; more expensive contracts jettisoned and no finality on whether they stay or move. It's an ugly situation and a black mark on the NHL that it's gone on this long.
