GothamGhost Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 22 minutes ago, Combover said: This should be a good game and a good test hopefully the guys are ready and don’t pull another Boston no show. Two Canadian teams neither named Toronto or MTL buttmans refs could care less who wins. maybe comes down to which one the officials are betting on and the spread. Feels like a playoff game that could be extremely physical. It's a good test for both teams as they likely have to go through each other in the post season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 7 hours ago, Jaimito said: Hope so. Test your prospects, especially with this lead in points. Getting annoyed that we aren’t having these guys play a game or two. It’s good experience for them and pushes them further next Training Camp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rocket-68 Posted February 17 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 17 Community Service Announcement: I have it on good authority that @-dlc- is beyond over-the-moon with the new Miller Time emoji and chances of her using it for all reactions this game and into the PGT are rated at about 92.5% Further bulletins as events warrant. 5 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A tough test, statement game, yard-stick game, call it what you want all I'm interested in is a winning result. Ideally we will get there by playing a hard-nosed, disciplined game. Here's hoping tonight the boys bring their A-game. Cheers, Reg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post EdgarM Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 (edited) 1 hour ago, NucksIn50 said: I still chuckle when I read posts, “must win, big test, see how we measure up” I think it’s time for US to realize teams need to be thinking that of us, last time I checked we are in 1st place overall and until we lose 3 games in a row in regulation, (I don’t believe in jinxing) which every team other than us has done, WE are the bar. Special year folks, everything is aligning for this team top to bottom, let’s go get it. Go Canucks! 45 minutes ago, Reg said: A tough test, statement game, yard-stick game, call it what you want all I'm interested in is a winning result.

I really don't care who the opponent is its how we adapt to whatever play comes to us and how we react. These guys have learned how to win in a multitude of ways and they continue to work on their game. It will be that way until the playoffs get here. Totally love the way Tocchet is leading this team so far. Edited February 17 by EdgarM 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Kneel Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 3 hours ago, Bob Long said: I kind of want desmith to start this one. They have 13 g in their last 10 games. I think if we protect the guts of the ice our systems will help whichever goalie plays. We're way better at scoring. So I wouldn't mind saving Demko this round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeyman109 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 One of the bigger tests as we have had issues beating Winnipeg the last few years. They play a style that is always tough on us. Its time for the team to show up in a big game and even if we lose i want to see a close game. Take it to the Jets, pressure all mover the ice, Help out the D. Play like a playoff game. Demmer has to play great. Petey has to show up in this game. Please let the power play get on track. Go Canucks go 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ghostsof1915 Posted February 17 Popular Post Share Posted February 17 We have 27 games left. If you count from the last game you get 28, and you can basically divide into 4, 7 game series with different opponents at different levels. But it's a good gauge, with a lot of tough opponents and seeing if the team can win 4 out of every 7 games. It can help develop good habits as the games get more amped up for the upcoming playoffs. It will be interesting to see what happens at the deadline. I think the Canucks were smart to make moves before the deadline so the players learn to work together. 5 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
