[GDT] Vancouver Canucks @ Colorado Avalanche | 630pm PST | SNET1 "The Uno"

[Alflives]

I say Halak makes 43 saves. But the Avs get  50 shots.  

[Dr. Crossbar]

I'd say there's a good chance we get halaked tonight! 

[Beary Sweet]

Game day. Back at it again tonight. It will be a tough grind for us from here on out. Avs are as hard as a opponent you can face. They are a team built for the playoffs. Let’s see what the boys can do tonight against them! GCG!

I remember watching this scrap as a kid thinking Jovo Cop was an absolute killer.

 

 

Jovanovski throw punches to end fights with every punch.

I heard Farhan mention something about OEL dealing with a suspected groin injury, first I'd heard of it (but would make sense), has there been anything else on this?

It makes sense. He looks like he's skating at about 75% recently, trying to nurse that injury maybe?

This does make sense. He was a lot better earlier in the year (at least from a defensive point of view). I had been suspecting an injury and, although this is not confirmed, it does seem likely.

 

And I hope it is true because OEL has looked bad lately and it would be disaster if his recent level of play reflects what we can expect for the remaining 5 years of his contract with a 7.26 million cap hit and a no-movement clause.

 

 

The trade to bring him to Vancouver was still a terrible trade but if the problem is injury, he should recover and might at least be a good player for the next few years--not worth over 7 million a year but good enough to be a solid top-4 D-man on a good team.

But that’s the thing, we have not committed to a proper rebuild. The ownership, as many have said before, don’t have the stones for it. Looks like quite a few fans don’t either. We are likely going to tinker around the edges and continue to exist in the “mushy middle” and just pray that one day perhaps we make the playoffs and make some sort of Cinderella run. So, enjoy.

another 49 years of this crap... im too old to keep the dream alive. with this owner its a double edge sword.! JR will still have to listen to the boss because he is paying for his bills... no matter how pretty the $&!# is. its still $&!#!

Halak in net!

I have no confident for a winning.

However, I still predict Canucks win this game

jt miller has nearly as many multi point games (21) as he does single point games (23), and only 18 games without a point. 

[jason10009]

So many naysayers.  Well I predict if we don't let in 3 goals in the first 5 minutes, we have a chance beating Colorado.

[-DLC-]

Let's beat the Halak out of them!

[hammertime]

Let's hope Halak's riled up and ready to go. Cuz if not he may as well start the rest of the games as well. Stick a fork in it this seasons over. 

[EB43]

Halak will either play very well…. Or.. It’s gonna be bad..

Iirc, Vesey and Boyd were picked-up on waivers. Dermott is via a trade so the comparable is probably Josh Leivo who we got from the Leafs via a trade. Leivo turned out pretty good, imo.

Yes I was sorry to see Leivo go, especially to CGY. He's been injury prone though, I doubt whether the Canes will keep him very long.

5 of them came in 1 game and 3 points in the other 6 games

Yeah, give em a good sHalaking!

[Pazura92]

Isn’t it obvious ?

if Halak has a save% of .915 or whatever it is by end of season he gets another bonus ..

 

at least this way playing him tonight guarantees that of not happening.
