Need points, no more Dano content until we clinch

 

[Richer's Ghost]

Praying for Bob Wischusen to call the game...

Is this your regular season version of a playoff beard?

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Apparently Demko might be back for Vancouver for this game because of f***ing course after the Rags blew up Lankinen on a stupid low amount of shots.........

Hopefully he's like post injury Markstrom.

His numbers this year are not good in the limited amount of games he’s played (17) for what it’s worth.

 

[MartyOwns]

i'll probably get flamed for this, but i would just focus on not letting vancouver score as many goals as we do.

We can't be changing up systems this late in the year with so many injury replacements in the lineup. You're JUST ASKING FOR CHAOS MAN!

We need you in the room to motivate the boys.

 

[Louskoolaid89]

Holy crap both of these teams suck and weren't supposed to. Uh win for our poor fans and that inspirational no quit cookie. LFGD!

He’s been pretty nearly as bad when he’s played as Markstrom has since he returned.

Of course not quite as bad, because I don’t think you can possibly be that bad.

Dick Tanket and the Canucks have punted quite a few points gifting him starts in between his endless trips to the doctors offices and hospital stays.

 

[Bleedred]

Do we have to have a game today?

 

[Mgd31]

Markstrom gets the start tonight

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Markstrom gets the start tonight

 

[Better Call Sal]

Just for what it's worth, they did this once before and Allen came off first. Not saying that's the case, but we'll see if he's the first off the ice too.

[JK3]

Oof that lineup, Cholo in again, yikes Nemec.

I knew Markstrom was getting the start. He was probably getting the start even if Allen had an outstanding game on Saturday. That’s what happened the last two times before a Markstrom start.

Honestly, Keefe needs to coach better.

They’re not letting Markstrom’s season go to waste. They’re going to try to get their starter on the right foot. Do I like it, no, but it’s not realistic to think they aren’t playing Makrstrom anymore. I guess you could argue they should’ve played him against Chicago next game, but at this point it’s whatever.

They should have played him against Chicago then.

If we go 0 for 3 on this homestand, especially in regulation, the fans will erupt tonight. I think they’re gonna go after Markstrom if he’s bad. He’s built up less goodwill with this fanbase than the likes of Vitek who was here for a playoff season (this season’s results pending) and Blackwood had two good seasons here. All those guys got Bronx cheered for making saves when they were playing poorly, but I think the fans in attendance are ready to turn on everybody. Particularly the general manager.

But I do think the fans will turn on Markstrom at some point this year if we’re out of the playoffs and he doesn’t start playing well.

I mean, maybe if we get another junk time meaningless Haula goal (or whoever) before the game ends that might quiet everyone from booing.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Different hockey media, same message. Get the f***ing job done.

 

[Cheddabombs]

First line Haula. End the season now I can't do this anymore
