GDT: Thanksgiving Leftovers: Vancouver Canucks @ Carolina Hurricanes | 1:00 PM | PNC Arena

[garnetpalmetto]

Blame the tryptophan. Blame too much pecan pie. Blame a trip to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. Blame it on being a 1:00 PM Sunday matinee game that most Canucks fans probably won't even be awake for. Blame it on South Carolina winning but not being able to make the SEC Championship. Again. Blame it on the leftovers. Leftovers from my past GDTs that is.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, WE INVITE YOU TO A SIGNATURE PERFORMANCE TODAY OF CLOWNING!

​

The Rutherford and Karmanos Circus invites you to see clowns of all shapes and sizes! Clowns who can't score goals, clowns who dive, clowns who can't stop a puck, clowns who can't break out of their own zone, and clowns who can't lead!

Mssrs. P.J. Karmanos, Jr. and J.E. Rutherford, Proprietors

Mr. K.C. Muller, Ringmaster

Both the Canucks and the Canes are coming off hard losses - us to the former-Scouts at home and the Canucks against the Rangers earlier tonight. Let's make the most of the Canucks being on a back-to-back and try to get a W!

[garnetpalmetto]

By the way, my inside source at the Canucks team hotel managed to snap this picture of Roberto Luongo upon arrival.

 

[Unsustainable]

Where's Malholtra? Scratched for Nash?

 

[Lazyking]

1pm start? Frack. I might be raking then.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Where's Malholtra? Scratched for Nash?

Based on the lines/depth charts on the Canes site when I put the thread together...yup.

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Don't like this spot...Canucks just embarrassed by NYR today.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

It's OK guys - VAN's GDT paints us all as NASCAR loving rednecks. Every time an opponent's GDT paints us in that false stereotype we normally show up our opponents.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Based on the lines/depth charts on the Canes site when I put the thread together...yup.

Seriously? Forget the fact that he's about the only player on the team that can win a faceoff, playing him against his former team would have been perfect.

But I'm sure Westgarth will contribute in his own...special...way

 

[Wolfpuck]

lol @ Malhotra being scratched

I'm getting really tired of watching this team **** their pants. It's like that eventual corner they're just about to turn is nothing but a mirage.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Go easy on us. We're fragile. Especially Edler. He's got multiple personality disorder; about one day a month he remembers he's a hulking NHL defenseman with a shot that can break 100pmh. On the others he thinks he's a 6 year-old girl named Mandy.

Also, our PP sucks, our fanbase is one more loss away from committing mass suicide, and Luongo's putting more effort into his tweets than he is at stopping that round, black rubber thing.

First, success in our nation's Capital. Then, bleakness and despair in New York. Unhappy Italian coach. Much huffing and puffing in PGTs.

Also sentence fragments.

For dramatic effect.

Do us a solid and sleep in tomorrow, huh?

 

[Oenatzu]

Malhotra also missed yesterdays practice so he could be injured.

 

[jstaal]

injury

Just what we need.. another injury, to a guy that actually wins FO.. What Canes team show up.?.. who the heck knows.. everyone got at least a point in the Metro, that were ahead of us...

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Bama and ECU both got blowed up and to make matters worse, I got blanked for the first time ever in my Friday nite magic tournament to four consecutive white//blue decks.

I'm out for blood.

Let's make the Canucks our collective father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate....

Which would be nothing, which is exactly what they are about to become.

MUA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

 

[Caniac4ever]

If Manny is scratched/injured, it doesn't appear Chip or Eric know anything about it here-

As for Sunday’s game, the Canes (10-11-5) will be looking to rebound from the loss to New Jersey and likely will remain without defenseman Andrej Sekera, who has an upper-body injury. It also will be center Manny Malhotra’s first game against the Canucks, his former team.

“I’m focused on the two points and helping us win,†Eric Staal said. “I’m excited for Manny and the opportunity he has to show how good he has been for us. That should be fun.â€

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Woho, another early game.

Last game I fell asleep. Won't happen again.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

The more I think about it, the more it seems unlikely Manny would be a healthy scratch. He does too much for the lineup.

He's either playing or he's injured.

 

[tomdundo]

Chip speculated that Manny being absent from yesterday's practice was just as a result of him being given a maintenance day.

I wouldn't put too much stock into the lineup garnetpalmetto posted (no offense) because of that.

None taken! Again, I based it off the lines posted on the Canes site. Heck, for all we know, Dobby may be back sitting on the bench since he practiced the other day.

 

[What the Faulk]

This is like Week 1 of the NFL season when the Panthers hosted the Seahawks. They didn't get going until the 4th quarter. So, expect another 3rd period let down?

 

[bleedgreen]

There no way they would healthy scratch malhotra, he's become one of our best players. Especially against his old team. I'm sure he's hurt.

 

[tomdundo]

I think I'm going to skip this one in favor of the Panthers game.

 

[raynman]

Hopefully the Canes aren't intimidated into a loss today. Expecting Eric to have a big game today.

I think I'm going to skip this one in favor of the Panthers game.

Thank goodness for the "last" button on the remote, eh?

I'll be watching both, with great interest. The Panthers officially have me back in their fanbase. First time since the Super Bowl. This team is too fun to watch.

I'll be watching both, with great interest. The Panthers officially have me back in their fanbase. First time since the Super Bowl. This team is too fun to watch.

The problem is that I have the worst timing with the "last" button. I always change it and end up missing something. For example, I'll press the button to change to the Panthers game and miss a Canes goal, then I'll switch back and miss a Panthers TD.


Either way, my primary focus of the day will be on the Panthers.
