The Rock's gonna lay the smackdown on that little roody poo johnny gaudreau

[-AJ-]

I expect Bo to be the MVP of this first game.

[Kazmanian Devil]

3-0 Calgary

[BI3KSA-]

No Virtanen in the lineup?

[Hodgson!!]

Line-up confirmed?

[Brad Marchand]

93-0 Flames.

No longer 18, Sam Bennett is held off the scoresheet for the first time in recorded history, leaving the Sportsnet commentators confused and in tears. Micheal Ferland rescues the Flames by scoring 31 hat-tricks and injuring every single Canuck on the ice, including both goaltenders. Jim Benning is forced to suit up and is carted off on a stretcher after just one minute of play.

Meanwhile, on the HFBoards Canucks forum, every poster mourns the loss of their team but celebrates the supposed demise of their GM.

Line-up confirmed?

Well it was the practice lines per twitter. Not sure if it's confirmed, but it would make sense that virtanen doens't play due to his nose injury.

I will confirm tomorrow once line-up is official but confident this is line-up.

Woah looks like I'm not up to date LOL.

What happened to Virtanen's nose?

[XxNaslundxX]

yay, hockey is back!
Stoked to see the McCann make the team!

4-2 nucks
goals from McCann,vrbata, Boho, hank with an empty net goal.

[AlphaHoneyBadger]

Virtanen out? That seems odd given he should be getting his 9 games. No point sitting him, unless he's hurt or they plan to have fireworks with ferland and they want veteran fighters.

[Outsiders]

LETS GOOOO. 2-1 Canucks win.

Bo and Daniel with the goals.

[Derp...]

But Virtanen! Isn't he the guy who is supposed to help us the most vs Calgary?

Oh well McCann vs Bennett will be fun to see. All OHL matchup

McCann vs Bennett

Horvat vs Monahan

[stawns]

Pretty good lineup from the Flames, home opener. 4-2 Flames.

[-Vintage Canuck-]
