Not much is known about Rick Tocchet’s plans for tonight’s lineup other than Arturs Silovs is expected to get the start in goal and play two periods while Nikita Tolopilo is likely to play the final 20 minutes in his preseason debut.
With the team flying home from Seattle late last night following a lacklustre 3-1 loss to the Kraken, the Canucks did not hold any sort of morning skate before heading over the Rockies for tonight’s contest.

Only 3 centers? Does this mean Zary will be down the middle?

I'm guessing Zary or Honzek, unless they are thinking about trying Pelts as a 4C

Probably not going to be watching much of this one but I hope there's some Klapka Lomberg shenanigans
interested to see where they line Frk and Grush up

I didn't notice Klapka, it'll probably be him playing C

Get to see Pelts with Backs and Coleman, great opportunity for him!

Zirakzigil · 2024-09-28T21:09:38-0400

Ugh.... Dont like Sharangoalvich at center.

Interesting they're looking at Rango between Huby and Mantha... but with the chemistry he and Huby lad after being paired together, it's not a bad idea and he and Mantha are different types of gal scorers, with Rango being a shooter and Mantha being more about garbage goals and scoring within 10 feet of the net.

Him being in the middle neuters his offense. He can do it in a pinch, but shouldnt be there full time.

Zirakzigil · 2024-09-28T21:15:44-0400

Nice point shot

I will remember this post in 3.5 hours when all 3 have 10 point nights :sarcasm:

But seriously, I do think this is a better combo than having Kuzmenko on the other wing though as he and Rango are to similar being that they re both shooters while Kuz has some of the creativity with the puck that Huby has. I'm not going to knock it until if I see if it works. I'd prefer Rango on the wing, but if it means Pospisil moves to 4C and Coronato has a place in the top 9, I'm not going to be too mad.

Rubi · 2024-09-28T21:21:16-0400

Canucks left all their big guns in Van. Flames should win tonight.

Better idea. Pops 4th line C. Zary centers the 2nd line. Coronato plays with Backs and Coleman.

Sharangovich needs to be on the wing to be effective offensively. Being at center makes him not get into position to use his shot because hes focused on his defensive responsibilities.

Zirakzigil · 2024-09-28T21:25:57-0400

Ah Vlad.... Should of had that one buddy.

Zirakzigil · 2024-09-28T21:26:33-0400

Unlucky bounce

Rubi · 2024-09-28T21:29:07-0400

Typical Vladar soft goal that's a momentum killer. Christ I hate that guy. Should be playing in the minors.

I'd prefer that too, but I'm starting to think they don't see Zary as a C

Good shift for Vladar, but no one else lol

I think its because they saw him play there to end last season they have an idea. Where they really dont know how well Pops is at that position.

Lunatik · 2024-09-28T22:31:24-0400

Looking decent. Tending is kind of crap from what I have seen but I like scoring 4!
