I am so pumped to watch our Canucks play on a nightly basis. They play such an entertaining game. 

 

Canucks win 4-1 with Garland scoring the winner. Empty net goal by Boeser.

 

GCG!!!

Anyone who injures Marchand should be a shoo-in for the Masterton.  It's a pity he was ok the other night.

Even if it was Tocchet? 

[Dr. Crossbar]

Need to beat these Boston Batwangers!

What's the deal with a 3:30pm start? US Holiday?

Ok, weird I swore I saw a 3:30pm start, maybe just someone did a typo on Sportsnet. It's showing 4pm. That makes more sense.

3:30 is the pregame show with Sat n Dan usually before puck drop.

1st place team vs the 2nd place team, should be a wild one.

And no matter what the result is we will still be #1 

 

1 win at a time let’s gooooo!

This game will determine if the Canucks are for real. Nothing says a true test than matching up against the other top team in the league. I don’t think it will be a blowout. Will probably be a close game 3-2 or 4-3. 
Should also be a physical game. Yes the current Boston team doesn’t have the rockem’ sockem’ type but it’s the style of game they play. Even the lighter guys play heavy.

I really enjoy reading posters views and takes…. But I’m sorry this game will NOT determine if this team is for real because they have already validated the fact they ARE for real. 
 

The team is 53-23-9 under Rick Tocchet that is an 85 game sample, enough is enough with the “ how we measure up with this team or that team “ The Canucks are that team that teams need to measure up to us(Canucks) they have set the standard this year.

 

This team is rollin and going to be hard to tame, just glad they have an experienced mgt team and a championship type coaching staff that keeps the boys humble n hungry!

 

Go Canucks!

Hmm, I don't agree.

 

They've proved themselves this year so far and one loss won't really change things IF that happens.  But a win would certainly keep things rolling in the right direction.

 

Boston's just another team.

Good response but can’t blame our fans for having Post Traumatic Benning Disorder. 

[PeteyBoeser]

If we win, Casey and Thatcher should do the big goalie hug right in front of their goalies

[Dr. Crossbar]

OMG ... Are we still not "for real"?

 

I thought the random game in October when everyone said we're legit if we beat X team was when we were for real.

Tocchet Canucks last season MUCH different than this year

I personally want someone to lay out Marshand in his fugly rat-face.

 

The game itself should be a doozy. Top team in the West (and NHL) vs the top team in the East.

 

Go Nucks go

Alf never wants a pkayer to get hurt but in Marchand’s circumstances it’s okay.  It’s so hard not to want that little rat bastard to get his come up ins.
