Youth_Movement Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 hopefully we dont spend the whole game trying to take out Keith. If we keep our emotions in check the game is ours to win. Have to come out strong tho. Our poor starts are the death of us. Luuuu gets the start no question. 5 -1 blow out. 2 big hits on keith resulting in 2 fights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dasein Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hate to say it - don't see the shorthanded Canucks beating a red-hot Blackhawks. Goaltending has to be beyond standing on his head - whoever it is that gets the start. Canucks win if goaltending is in God mode, PP clicks, Sedins wake up and defense plays solid. Also, I predict that one of Bieksa, Volpatti, or Lapierre will fight Keith. Most likely Bieksa. Kassian will not fight him - the size disparity is too big.

Phil_314 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The build-up for this game reminds me of the build-up for the Bruins game with the line brawl last season (?). The Bruins were tough, skilled and were among the league leaders in points, whereas the Canucks had something to prove (last season they wanted retribution for the Bruins' physical abuse, while Daniel's concussion may bring a sour taste in the Canucks' mouth, plus the team would be facing the Blackhawks with a reduced roster without Kes and Booth-- plus we're underdogs both in terms of scoring ability and due to question marks in the lineup regarding consistency). And that's exactly what they did, they went out, got the monkey off their back and beat the team both physically and on the score sheet. In other words, this could be a statement game for the team against a powerhouse rival. Now I'm not saying that I expect a line brawl (well maybe?) but Keith should be prepared to get hit, whether by Lapierre, Hansen, Weise, Volpatti (much rather have these Bottom 6 guys with enough speed to catch and hit him consistently) or who knows Kassian could crunch him too (or anyone who tries to touch the Sedins for that matter). Could be a very close and feisty game and I'd expect whichever team trails would be quite motivated by early fireworks to get back into things late in the game. On second thought, I'm really not sure whether it will actually pan out that way against Keith; I mean athletic rivals hold grudges all the time but often the media just hypes it way up due to limited story lines when the players themselves may be over it already.

Strombone1 Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 as much as I'd like us to beat them on the scoring board, I don't think we'll find our scoring touch in this one. 1-3 hawks. as far as PIMs go, we should be right up there in the league.

Angry Goose Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Lou is the hot goalie but I think Schneider has faster reflexes. Personally I think Corey has the ability to play better against the Hawks snipers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
