Popular Post OldFaithfulcap Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 (edited) Media TV: Sportsnet, Hulu+ (USA) Radio: Sportsnet 650 Starting Lineups Canucks (from last game with friedman replacing zad) Capitals (From last game) Overview On superbowl sunday, the Canucks take on the Caps. The last time the 49ers won a Superbowl was the 1994 season, a pretty damn good year overall for the Canucks too. The last time the Canucks were in DC they were on a 2-game losing streak, which eventually became seven and had them last in the league. They come into today also on a two-game losing streak but they are tied for first and looking to avoid dropping 3 games in a row for the first time. Washington shutout boston last game so they'll be feeling good though they flew home after the nucks arrived. Both teams started their backups in Saturday games so we'll see Demko vs Kuemper. Will add some photos from the game as i'll be there. Hoping the Nucks win, and the niners win to complete a big day. The pacific runs through me much like my love for both teams. Go nucks go.

snowman955 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 If it doesn't have a Canuck puck ,not interested. Even during the hardest of times. Now , not later. This team needs discipline. We need to reinvent the mind set from months ago. The tools are there. Use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-68 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) I predict a 4-1 score for the good guys tomorrow. I called @Alflives Empties Hotline and could just make out the score in between the slurring ... hey, I will get a second one right this year at some point. Line change prediction is Laff will be back in ... but who goes out? @OldFaithfulcap thank you (in advance) for posting in-game pics, helps with the vibe of the forum thread.

Jaimito Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Back-to-Back Early Games Give Canucks a Chance to Get Back to Winning Ways on Weekend By Chris Faber February 09, 2024 Now, let’s dive in on Sunday’s opponent, the Washington Capitals. The Capitals will also be on the second day of a back-to-back as they battle with the Boston Bruins on Saturday. The Caps have been struggling lately, they have six straight losses but still sit just seven points out of a wild card spot. Dylan Strome is beginning to evolve into the offensive leader of their team while Alex Ovechkin is still producing at a high level. Strome and Ovechkin are tied for the team lead with 33 points this season. The big difference between Strome and Ovechkin’s production has been the efficiency of their shooting. The season has not been nice to Ovechkin, he has a 6.9% shooting percentage while Strome’s has been much better, clocking in at 17.6%. Ovechkin and Strome are joined by All-Star Tom Wilson on the Caps’ top line and they headline a top-six that sees a second line of Max Pacioretty, the speedy Connor McMichael, and T.J. Oshie. On the backend, offensive-minded defenceman John Carlson is joined by Rasmus Sandin, Joel Edmundson, and former Canuck Ethan Bear on a defence corps that has combined for 10 goals this season. Darcy Kuemper and Charlie Lindgren have basically been splitting starts this season and Lindgren has much better counting stats in his starts – picking up a .912% save percentage compared to Kuemper’s .894%. With the Caps playing in back-to-backs over the weekend, we will have to check in on Saturday to see who they start against the Bruins. Quick Hits on the Competition (WASH): Alex Ovechkin’s shooting percentage has never been this low in a season and he has only ever finished one season shooting under 10%. He looks due for some regression to the mean. John Carlson is third in the NHL for average ice time per game. Carlson is averaging 25:36 a night right now. It will be interesting to follow how he looks on game two of back-to-back and the Capitals’ third game in four nights. The Caps have the 27th-ranked power play in the league and though Ovechkin has fired 130 shots at the net, he only has five goals with the man-advantage this season. As for their penalty kill, it ranks 17th in the league with a 79.3% kill rate. Tom Wilson and Connor McMichael each have a shorthanded goal this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
