[GDT] Canucks @ Avalanche Nov 22 2023 7:00 PM PST

[Satchmo]

I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes here but it's almost noon and no GDT.  I also hope @The Aquaman is doing well and just forgot this was to be his day.

 

So, let's get started.   I'll edit some line combos into this post in a bit.  Go Canucks go!

 

(Can't believe I'm quoting Jeff Paterson)

The stars will be out in Denver tonight when Quinn Hughes and the Vancouver Canucks (13-5-1) visit Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche (11-6). Hughes leads the NHL in scoring with 30 points and he and Makar, with 27 points, are the two highest scoring defencemen in the National Hockey League this season and each leads his respective team in scoring. On top of that, both are on impressive individual point streaks – Hughes has scored in back to back games and has four goals and 14 points on an eight-game run while Makar has three straight three-assist games and has recorded a goal and 15 helpers on a seven-game streak.

Tonight marks the Canucks 20th game of the season and their first of three match-ups with the Avs.

Brings back wonderful memories - thanks for sharing! 

 

I miss the good old days of Sportsnet Pacific being Canucks-centric, with Don Taylor, John-and-John, Murph, and the whole SNETP crew leading us into another battle

Avs news:

Aves has a decent winning record, but they've been letting in some goals. I think the result will depend on whether Petey's line can get going 5v5 tonight and if our third line can give us the same energy from last game. 

 

We've played close games vs the top tier teams so far. I hope luck is on our side tonight. A win vs Aves will be huge for us.

Now that you mention it i also miss this intro haha good times

A big game from Petey is coming. He wants to be paid big bucks from his work this year, yet two teammates who took team discounts have more points than him. He’ll be looking to light the lamp.

[Bure10Kuzmenko96]

Should be a good game as long as we can shut down Makar. Don't take penalties and we'll be good

[AAA]

Boys need to play a hard, disciplined game tonight

 

@Satchmo
Thanks for starting the GDT!

[Jess]

Was wondering about the GDT too. Aquamen hasn't been on for almost a week, so maybe they forgot. Thanks for stepping up @Satchmo!

Apparently garland is playing, took a personal day off yesterday.

The Hughes vs Makar show should be fun. Wasn't very close in recent years, but now Hughes has made that gap much smaller.

I looked into save % record for both Colorado goalies - it is under 0.900%. So, looks like this is the weakest link in their team. GCG!
