artful_dodger Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 This is a tough one to call. The Kings are coming off a disastrous Alberta swing and the Canucks are playing some pretty sound back to basic defensive hockey. The kings are also experiencing the flu through their line up, not sure if they're headed home after this game, but It goes one of two ways I think: 1) Kings mail it in, Canucks win 4-1 2) Kings match Canucks renewed defensive commitment hockey in order to save face and get the game to OT where Canucks pull it out 2-1.

bp79 Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I think it's time to put vey kass and bones together. And trade higgens i like the guy but bones is being wasted with dead weight on his line. burr looks good on the 4th with bo and hanson dorsi mathias and brad is a solid gritty 3rd line. I just dont see a spot for higgens once kass returns. in a perfect world id like to see him shipped to boston along with + for krug. What I hope doesn't happen but it prolly will is vey will be the odd man out once kass comes back. I love the job wd has done this year except that he tends to to keep things status quo to much. maybe being a 1st year coach he feels an obligation to the vets? same with our D Y not sit webber and give bobby a game or 2 to see what he can do. As far as the game kings are ripe for the picfking, 5-1 nucks dank and hank burr edler and bones with goals verbata 2 helpers edler with 3 points boho 2 assists. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87Crosby Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I have a feeling that today is going to be a slump breaker for some Canucks. Daniel Sedin had an abysmal year last year and as the shooter needs his confidence back. Bonino hasn't been scoring or been noticeable lately and I think tonight he'll play well as well. Predicting a 4-2 Canucks win. Vey Higgins(PP) D. Sedin D. Sedin (EN) Don't know who'll score for the Kings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 'Tis a big, must-win. Van takes it 5-2. Higgy bumps the dumps. He gets 2; Bones nabs 1. Also Burr & KB3 with tallies. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all fellow Nux-backers. Here's hoping it's healthy, prosperous & celebratory.(Throughout BC in June, particularly)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KariyaSakicAnderson Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Lets just hope for a better game than the last time they played. It will be a tough one, with stinker the Kings put up against the Oil, they will want to end this trip on a high note.. Nucks need to come out ready for this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakrami Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 We always suck crap vs the Kings, our offense dries up so badly vs the Kings. It's probably because they have our team figured out. Please surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Wow, the projected lineup looks like a first line and 3 third lines. Hopefully 1 of the 3 can step forward consistently and become the second line! Right now I figure it's Burrows, Horvat, Dorsett. I think it'll be a tight, low scoring game with Quick and a much steadier Miller. Canucks win 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73 Percent Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I predicted we'd lose against ducks and sharks. I learned not to underestimate this team. 3-2 for the good guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 It seems the Canucks always come out strong in the 3rd and when they do they get the "W". If that happens tonight I think we will see a 3-2 win for the road team. It sucked not having a game on last night BTW.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
