Tavrohorvat53 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 LINEUP UPDATE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vs. The Guardian Project GAME TIME : 4:00pm PT LAST MEETING: TEAM STATS: LINEUPS: as per dailyfaceoff.com TALE OF THE TAPE: Vancouver goes into tonight's match on a role, winning back to back extra time games against the Canes and the Isles. The Canucks will aim to win their third straight game in a row for the first time this season, against a tough Rangers team coming off a let down to the Washington Capitals. The Rangers have been inconsistent as of late alternating between wins and losses during the last 10 games. This will be Emerson Etems first game against his former team. Etem has been noticble and effective during his short stint with Vancouver and should play with a chip on his shoulder to show his former team they gave up on him too quick. Rookie Canucks forward, Jared McCann will see regular shifts on the top line centring two seasoned vets in Daniel Sedin and Jannik Hansen. This will be a substantial opportunity for McCann to show his offensive ability while playing along two skilled wingers that can manufacture and finish chances. Bo Horvat will look to keep the fire burning in the new year, playing along side his regular linemates of Baerstchi and Vrbata and also getting powerplay time on the Canucks first unit. Miller gets the start, coming off a wonderful performance against Islanders. He will need to be just as sharp again, against a potent offensive team and against his counterpart Henrik Lundqvist who has put up stellar numbers when facing the Canucks. Virtanen will slot back in for Prust who sits after a lacklustre effort and response against the Islanders. Adam Cracknell will also be dressed as the fourth line centre. Henrik Sedin has returned home for further examination after taking a "flagrant" hit from behind against the Islanders. Early timeline for his return is after the ASG break. There was no further discipline for Grabvoski. Canucks game day report: http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=804&id=932462&cmpid=embed-share-video PREDICTION: Canucks skate away with a 3-2 win in OT. Miller will be stellar and Hutton, Etem and McCann pot the Canucks goals. TIDBIT: * MUST SEE* Spoiler Quote It looks like Philadelphia Flyers forward Ryan White will avoid a suspension for his blindside hit on Tomas Jurco of the Detroit Red Wings. Dave Isaac of the Courier-Post first reported as much via an anonymous source, while an unnamed league source confirmed as much to CSNPhilly.com’s Tim Panaccio. The NHL’s Department of Player Safety didn’t make it official, however. White received a match penalty for that check on Jurco, which you can watch above. The Flyers forward has been suspended before, being dinged for five games in 2013. Clearly a late, blind side hit, with significant contact with Jurco's head. The DOPS apparently doesn't even see this as suspension worthy. Perfect example of the much talked about inconsistency of the DOPS. WHAT A BUNCH OF CLOWNS!

OptionalPants Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Did you make those superhero graphics yourself? They're pretty sweet. Anyways, I'm gonna be optimistic and predict a 4-3 canucks win. Mcann with 2 goals, Sedin with 1 and Horvat with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 That has to be our worst top line since the 80s. But credit for wheeling out the guardians, what a waste of time and effort they were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odd. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 A lot of people attended that last New York Rangers game. You can tell from the stands. Especially since we weren't doing that well around the time. Expect to see the 4th line doing a lot more tonight as Prust isn't playing probably. Going to be a much faster line.

Rocksterh8 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'll have to predict a 3-1 loss for our Canucks, only due to the fact they have won 2 in a row, they can't go 3 wins in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a link below the Ranger, it was a series that was written a couple of years ago. I'm going for the third win in a row!! The visitors win by two goals!! 4-2.

MGL Canuck Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Wow! Excellent effort on the graphics! Please do more in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckylager Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If they can keep it close and put in a solid effort, I'll be happy. Maybe the Rangers will think they can coast because we're so beat up and we can exploit their laziness..? Maybe not. Every time I call the Nucks to lose, we win.. So, 5-1 Rangers.

Googlie Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Maybe this is just what we need ....... (from the Blueshirts webpage) "Sunday, the Rangers were undone by their struggling penalty killing unit, which surrendered two more power play goals. The Blueshirts have now allowed ten power play goals in their last nine games, killing off just 17 man disadvantages in the same span. They also were not helped out by their own power play, which failed on four opportunities Sunday and is now in a 1-for-26 funk" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
