It breaks the challenge into pieces that the team can focus on. Anaheim is hanging in. Oilers have to much talent to not recover. If the Oilers deal for a tender then they could take off. Demko stays hot and Hamonic comes in and the Canucks could continue their run. Ya 3 of 5 should be very doable. The bolts and caps have been struggling so hopefully that continues. The preds will be without Forsberg and we seem to do well against them. The Canes might be using Lyon or a rookie right out of college in net so that's huge, the biggest challenge will be against the panthers. A perfect storm of rust, first game of AM eastern road trip and a team that is lights out at home and a top 5 team overall has all the hallmarks of a loss. But if we manage a win that will be huge. Not sure after 34 games if this is a do or die scenario but 6+ points would obviously help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Gut check time. This road trip will show us what we really have with our team. JR will be watching closely to see how we perform against the top teams, and our guys know this, so it'll be interesting to see how they respond. It's make or break, and I can't wait to see how it unfolds. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I they can win more than 2 games I'll consider it a victory, as long as they look competitive. Then come back home and feast on some western conference teams and leapfrog in to the playoffs!

Dirtman Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Man I love watching the Panthers but they are nasty tough. Too bad we're coming out of such a long break but that's how she goes sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we have to wait for pre-game skate. This is the best I've been able to find on the taxi squad as of today. I am sure there are better sources, maybe CDC, lol. Canucks News Three players (Sheldon Rempal, Spencer Martin and Ashton Sautner) will join the Canucks on this upcoming road trip as members of the taxi squad. Rempal has been the team’s second-leading scorer this season with 22 points (nine goals, 13 assists) in 24 games. Martin has been Abbotsford’s best goaltender. He hasn’t lost in regulation yet (5-0-2-1) and sports a 2.24 GAA and a .921 SV% on the year. Justin Bailey was also recalled to the taxi squad, but he was quickly reassigned when it was announced that Elias Pettersson had cleared protocol and will join the team on their upcoming road trip. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. That cap-recapture has somewhat tainted an image of otherwise world class goalie in the minds of many Canucks fans. I still love Luongo. His arrival signaled the end of that suffocating goalie graveyard era. He was like a breath of fresh air. And since then, our goaltending has always been our strength. 3 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koskinen is absolute trash but so are the pylons Edmonton has on the blueline. They are not a good team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Interesting. Listening to Miller on Donnie and Dahli and he thinks as he gets older, playing C suits him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
