Loser of tonight's game will be like

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

This is an important one to lose. Canucks have been one of the best teams over the last few weeks, going 10-2 in their last 12, outscoring teams by an average margin of 1.67 goals in those games.

Canucks should win a high scoring game.

Shot at Binnington out of nowhere.

The last time we played the Canucks they looked like one of the better teams we've faced in a long time. Maybe that's not saying much given the schedule the past month, but at the time we had just played teams like Carolina and New Jersey.

Goalie

Binnington

It is looking like a safe bet that the organization is making sure that it doesn't have to pay out a $250k bonus to Greiss. He needs 20 starts to get there and he's sitting at 15. We'll be down to 8 games after tonight, so even a 50/50 split to close out the season would see him fall one short. We can start him in all our remaining road games, start Binner in every remaining home game and avoid paying his bonus.

The savings by not paying that bonus way more than covers the extra $40k or so that Hofer earned in his time on the NHL roster.

 

[Mike Liut]

We could use a good ass kickin tonight.

 

[542365]

Go Nucks Go. Must lose game here.

 

[Hrkac Circus]

We could use a good ass kickin tonight.

 

[Sgt Schultz]

Critical game. Time to sink to the occasion.

 

[LGB]

Not losing both those games to Detroit could really come back to bite us. Not a team I want to be drafting behind

Binnington doing his best Jake Allen impersonation

 

[LGB]

Nice play Toro

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Toro noooo

 

[Robb_K]

Toropchenko steals the puck, gets out on the breakaway, in fast flight, and he buries it for his 7th goal and a 1-1 tie in the game!!!!

 

[LGB]

I've been impressed with Neighbours in his time on the Thomas line. Could be a good third forward on a top six line

 

[Robb_K]

And now Parayko hits the pipe!!!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Faulk yeah!

 

[Robb_K]

The Blues keep the puck in The O-Zone, and Buchnevich feeds the puck to the ever-moving Faulk, who is all alone and blasts it into the net for his 10th of the year, giving The Blues a 2-1 lead!!!

 

[GoldenSeal]

The Tuna Boat sails by.

 

[Mike Liut]

I've been impressed with Neighbours in his time on the Thomas line. Could be a good third forward on a top six line

Backes clone

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Damn

 

[BlueDream]

I don’t care whether we win or lose but it’s absolutely infuriating seeing 2 Canucks players right in front of the net, and Faulk is somewhere with his head up his ass.

Do we have anyone in this organization that can coach a defensive system above a peewee level? f***ing embarrassing.

 

[Snubbed4Vezina]

Atrocious coverage on the second Canucks goal. This is why you can't look at Binnington's stats and say that he's awful. It's unacceptable for an NHL team to be this poor around their own net.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Let's Go Vancooooooover
