Pacific Northwestern underground.

 

Today, still wanted by fans,

still seeking Lord Stanley's cup,

their ghosts survive as soldiers of hockey fortune, as a new generation takes up the cause.

 

If you have a problem,

if no one else can help,

and if you can get behind them,

maybe you can root for:

 

The V-Team.

Hard to see a W coming up, but if they play like they did yesterday they might steal it. Trouble is that they have been so bloody inconsistent, I don't have a lot of faith that they will reproduce Wednesday's effort

 

However, we live and hope right?

 

Actually, pretty consistent except for the last 10 games which they dipped a bit.

Managed losses count.  Been treading water while QH, Hronek and EP were out. 

That is strategy you need when you have yet to dress a full lineup for a game this season - just manage your expectations.  With a little bit of puck luck - probably could have won 3-4 of these recent games including losses (eg. Nashville) .  They haven't played poorly - but just can't get that extra goal sometimes because of a hot goalie on the other side.  Perhaps they need to get even more traffic in front and get those greasy goals should those goalies continue to stonewall them.

 

Just wondering when our players do come back - are they still scheduled for that nations cup as it seems odd for players to miss regular NHL games + return just in time for that tournament.  Seems like a legitimate excuse (given proof they missed NHL games) to maybe rest up a bit as I am sure some players are not fully 100% even though they returned.

They're not consistent if you consider that they only had 2 wins out of 10 in last segment. Sure they got OT points, but they still went from 5-6 wins to 2 wins.

I'm hearing Petey will be back in this game to showcase what he can do for his new team. 

 

Pump that value!

[CaribouCanuck]

If we can get more than just one point it will feel like winning the Stanley cup at this point.

Can you break it down to 5 min segments. Then we can understand

That's what I said about the last 10.  But it's not give up and tank level of setback like so many neurotic fans here.

Unfort , this will be a tough game for the canucks to win, think it will be 4-3 canes win  the way the nucks are playing lately /sigh

[grumpyone]

this next couple of games will be very interesting.... tonight we get Carolina on the 2nd game of a back-to-back, then on Saturday WE are in Toronto on the 2nd game of a back-to-back, plus Toronto JUST lost to Carolina last night and badly (6-3)

 

if we get Petey and Demko back we should do a little bit better, I hope.

4-1 Canes.  I'm expecting we will get out shot, out worked and out classed.  Our defense vs their forwards is not a recipe for success.

definitely outshot: it's a contest of two diametrically opposed philosophies. the canes are built around a system focused on shot volume, the canucks are built around a system of shot conservation and efficiency.
