[The Stig]

Demkos in Covid protocol.
Miller in Covid protocol.



Spencer Martin and Mikey D are up.

Upside: you guys get to see Martin's sexy mask.

Yikes, could get very ugly. Here's hoping they keep it close and don't get blown out

 

[PavelBure10]

Yikes, this is going to be rough. Probably very similar to Dipietro's first NHL game he's played in. Be afraid, very afraid.

Actually I wouldn’t be surprised if the Canucks win this one even if they put Martin Brochur in net. You SOMETIMES find a team will play out of heads when put into a situation like this (especially with how well they’ve been playing lately). It’s their NEXT game I expect them to get wrecked.

Maybe the Panthers are so over confident that they blow it and the Canucks steal this one

Sheldon Dries

Perhaps if we didn't just postpone so many home games, we'd be on more solid footing with the League to postpone this one due to COVID.

 

[Delocatedfan]

Maybe Florida can put up 10.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Holy cow.

Godspeed Spencer Martin (and/or Mikey DiPietro).

 

[JumpierPegasus]

Dries has been one of my favourite players in Abbotsford, so hope we see him

If the team loses today I certainly won't hold it against them, Covid definitely screwed us over

 

[hellstick]

Yeah, Florida is a good team. I would kill to have Barkov over here. Just say the word and it's done.

 

[ForecheckBackcheck]

If like half the Canucks team is recently out for Covid protocol, why is this game going forward? Surely there is a heightened risk of other Canucks players having it, even if testing negative right now, and then possibly exposing Florida to it as well? Not to mention it absolutely f***s our chances of winning this game or even being competitive.

 

[Jyrki21]

Oof, that lineup.

 

[supercanuck]

In coming Spencer Martin 55 save shutout. EP scores on 2 spectacular individual efforts.

Well, we did just postpone a bunch of home games. Would be a tough sell with the League at this point to postpone another even if the reasoning is sound.

Francesco Aquilini is a total joke of a businessman. It's like he thought this wave would just abruptly end by February and all restrictions would lift. No foresight whatsoever. He kicked the can down the road to hopefully salvage some gate revenue, but now the team is getting hit by COVID and he stands to reduce playoff chances while losing gate revenue as well.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

I smell a massive upset!

I mean as long as we don't lose 0-6 like you know who I'm happy.

 

[Vector]

This is going to be a bloodbath.

Don't understand Hunt getting in over Burroughs from an actual on-ice perspective anymore. Hunt supposedly can move the puck but we've seen no evidence of that 5 on 5.

Fla already played Edm and cal. They are set to play seattle on Sunday.

I highly doubt that the nhl would want to sent the furtherest team from Vancouver back here again at a future date to play 1 game.

vancouver is capable of icing an 18 skater lineup so they have to play this game.
Reverse the situation and say the van at fla game got postponed but the Canucks won’t be close to fla for the remainder of the season. Fair to ask them to fly 5 hours to play that 1 game despite them being able to ice 18 skaters? So no.
Just deal with it. Reality of this nhl season.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

This is probably the worst Canucks lineup they have iced in 20 years.

 

[wonton15]

This is one second line and three fourth lines.

On another note, Spencer Martin is 5-0-2 with a 2.24 and .921% in Abby this year...

Not saying it would have impacted this particular game, but the stupidity around the postponement of the other games has limited our ability to reschedule the upcoming games as well.

I can deal with the reality of the NHL season but cannot deal with FAQ's shortsighted stupidity.

Hail to the chrome mask

 

[kylek023]

gonna need to hit the liquor store for this

 

[iceburg]

If they win this game, The Legend of the Bruce will grow.
