I wonder if the Singh brothers will be in the house Friday? I absolutely potatoed Gurv back in the day when I had a brief flirtation with breaking into pro-wrestling. He would have been well within his rights to punch me square in the mouth but he didn't. Nice guy, glad he made it big!

Its hard to doubt my team right now

Beagle smash!

 

 

Love the game he brings. Motte Beagle Schaller has been our most consistent line!

I still hope the fans in attendance boo failed power play attempts to send a message.

First off that post was intended to be taken lightly

 

I have seen countless posts on "Fire Brown." Honestly I think the repeated stale power play attempts with 0 to very very few shots like they've had many times is boo worthy when it gets to thatlevel. Just imagine if it costed them more games recently, I think there would be some meltdowns going on. If it continues the way it's been, it will start to cost them games. Aside from playing Detroit, their power play is 2/32 this season.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to see Hughes on PP1 now and I definitely think they can improve, but they need to score more power play goals against teams that aren't Detroit, and maybe they will now! We will find out soon enough. Changes are happening which is great to see.

In theory the next 2 games should be Canucks victories. Both games are playing opponents that play the night before. 

 

4-2 Canucks.

Going to the game with the Larcheiders, it's gonna be an electric crowd! I was at the Diwali night last year as well and if I'm not mistaken it was the 7-6 win against the Avs I lost my voice during.

 

Hope to see a Petey snipe and see him get the monkey off his back!

Happy Diwali in advance!

They got Beagle as the 170th ranked center... And all caps 4th line is ranked higher than him 

 

Leipsic (who I do respect, but he's not at Jay's current form) 

Nic Down and Chandler Stephenson 

 

Lol time to update your rankings daily face-off... It's the 2020 cup campaign coming through.

Why? We certainly don't have the worst PP in the league (currently 19th in the league) and we are still winning games. Sure there could be improvement here, but there's no reason to boo anything at this stage.

This will be a tough test. I sense an EP takeover.

[AV.]

Totally misread this as Dhaliwal Night.

 

I thought for a moment "I get he was sacked by Sportsnet but does the organization really need give him a damn night to make him feel better?"

 

Canucks lose 4-2, unfortunately

Hope they give us Holtby on a platter .

This would be an awesome game to go too. Friday night and caps in town. 

[WHL rocks]

Hughes is running circles against the opposition.

 

He's doing on D what EP was doing as C last season.

 

Just amazing how he skates and hangs on to the puck.

That might well be possible as Washington is trying to adjust to a new system and aren't quite executing fluently yet.  From Friedman's 31 thoughts:

 

17. One of the reasons for (Holtby's) struggles was Washington’s new system. The Capitals are trying to be more aggressive, similar to what Carolina does. It got them trapped down-ice a few times against Colorado and Toronto, leading to some ridiculous highlight-reel goals against.
