I recall the days at the Pacific Coliseum, the arena was both the war room and the command center.

The place was hostile for visitors, our fans were loud n proud as both the wave and towel power started here!

My dad and I watched Greg Adams score on Potvin, from behind his net, and Linden drop the lid off the Campbell Bowl, back in '94. 

That building has great acoustics due to all the wood in the structure. Not like all the lifeless concrete sarcophagus's these days. 

They should have just reno'd that building instead of spending a gazzillion dollars building a new one. It has serious karma.

4-2 Nucks.  Boys are going to go on a roll make the playoffs and win the cup

I wouldn't call a back and forth affair that ended up being 8-6 an embarrassment unless you're referring to both teams.

You made me look though. The only real outright ass-wooping we've had this season was getting schooled by AV's Rangers way back in November, 7-2.

 

I would call giving up a three goal lead and promptly being scored six times in one period (five goals of which were consecutive) embarrassing. Rangers game was also a mess.

Canucks win 4-2

 

Horvat with his first hatty of his career

Giving up a 3 goal lead means we had one in the first place. We weren't blown out or embarrassed in that game by another team. It was an egalitarian shytshow.

The Rangers game on the other hand.... 7-2.

We had our hats handed to us. Decidedly. 

My point was that we've RARELY been spanked this season and sent off with our tail between the legs. I didn't check the entire schedule, but that Rangers game was one..... and the fact that I even had to look it up proves my point.

First game back all the travel and jet lag...we'll need a couple PP goals to sty close and play for the loser point.

[Johnny Torts]

Bo Horvat Hattrick followed by a bench and stripping of the A from his jersey.

Great GDT.

 

Is this the game Gaunce scores his first wonder goal? If so I hope it's the game winner.

Bring Sami out of retirement. 

[DownUndaCanuck]

Goldobin's been pretty good since getting here.

 

3-2 Canucks. Goldy with 1, Horvat with 1, Sbisa with 1.

He hasn't played on the PP the last 4 games.

Don't worry, He will.

[Stelar]

Got Miller and Price for my pool goalies. Who should I start? Or both?

[Toyotasfan]

The over under on this game must be less than 3 I would imagine . Montreal is playing airtight hockey the last week under Julien.

Need to leave the time zone to experience jet lag. Plus the flight is just over 2 hours to San jose and all 3 games were in california. No excuses for these guys. I agree that powerplay needs to get going though.

The real reason for that is the schedule. With the mandatory bye week, when a team gets up into a reasonable lead they sit down the stars because they have another 2 games the same week. There is nothing upside for a coach to hammer another team
