Meier's been enough of a problem that we'd be doing the league a service by ensuring he never rigs another game. Having that criminal working for the league is a disgrace to the sport.

Beary Sweet Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Atmosphere was unreal in my 1st Nux game last game. Loved every moment. If we sneak into the playoffs, I’ll definitely consider going to a game. Best experience ever. With tonight’s game, hope we grab another W. keep the win streak going! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Big game! The atmosphere at the Rog should be a big help to the Canucks tonight. They haven't always done well at home but I think this time we need the fans to push us over the top of the "Stone" Cold Cheaters. Just win baby!

When a player has an injury of which they are expected to miss a minimum of 10 NHL games and 24 days in the NHL season, the team can place them on long term injured reserve (LTIR). LTIR can be used to exceed the salary cap. LTIR is a very complicated aspect of the NHL operations and the vast majority of details are not specified in the CBA.

I think those players have already been injured for 5,6, and 7 games, respectively. So, as long as the proper paperwork was done, they should be able to backdate the 10 games/24 days for LTIR to the date each player was originally injured. Then again, it’s Vegas. Paperwork isn’t exactly their forte. Just ask Dadanov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAST 5 vs VEGAS Apr. 6/22: VAN 5 at VGK 1 Apr. 3/22: VAN 2 vs VGK 3 (OT) Nov. 13/21: VAN 4 at VGK 7 Dec. 19/19: VAN 5 vs VGK 4 (OT) Dec. 15/19: VAN 3 at VGK 6 RECENT TRANSACTIONS Jack Rathbone reassigned to Abbotsford and Sheldon Dries recalled under emergency conditions, Apr. 7 Kyle Burroughs activated from injured reserve, Apr. 6 Jack Rathbone recalled under emergency conditions from Abbotsford, Apr. 5 WINNING WAYS Turning aside 35 of 37 shots on Apr. 9 at SJS, Thatcher Demko became the first Canucks goaltender since Roberto Luongo (31 W) in 2011-12 to win 30 games in a season. Demko is the sixth goaltender in Canucks history to earn 30 wins in a season, joining Roberto Luongo (6x), Dan Cloutier (3x), Kirk McLean, Alex Auld and Gary Smith. GOAL CHASER Collecting two points (1-1-2) on Apr. 9 vs SJS, Alex Chiasson registered his consecutive multi-point games (2-1-3 on Apr. 7 at ARI) for the first time in his career. With four goals in his last five games, Chiasson also reached the 10-goal mark for the sixth time in his career. J.T. GOING ON 30 With a career-high 29 goals so far this season, J.T. Miller looks to join Bo Horvat as the second Canuck to reach 30 goals. The last time multiple Canucks recorded 30+ goals in a single season was 2010-11 when Daniel Sedin and Ryan Kesler each scored 41. RED HOT HORVAT Bo Horvat scored twice (2-1-3) on Apr. 7 at ARI to record his first career 30-goal campaign and became the first Canucks player to reach the mark in a season since Radim Vrbata in 2014-15 (31). Bo is the 31st player in Canucks history to score 30 goals in a season. Horvat now has 13 goals in his last 16 games, which is t-3rd in the NHL since Mar. 9. QUICK ON THE DRAW Winning all 17 face-offs he took on Apr. 7 at ARI, Bo Horvat ranks t-3rd in the NHL for most face-off wins in a single game with a 100% success rate since 1997-98. KILLER INSTINCT Going 4-for-5 on the penalty kill on Apr. 9 vs SJS, the Canucks improved to 27-for-30 (90.0%) on the kill since Mar. 20, ranking third in the League during that stretch. EXCEPTIONAL ELIAS Collecting a goal and two assists in a 5-1 win on Apr. 7 at ARI, Elias Pettersson registered his 51st career multi-point game. Since his NHL debut in 2018-19, Pettersson trails only J.T. Miller for most multi-point games (55) by a Canuck. PHYSICAL FORCE Led by Kyle Burrough's nine hits, the Canucks recorded a season-high 45 hits on Apr. 6 at VGK, which is tied for the most hits in a game by Vancouver (also Nov. 27/19 at PIT) since the NHL began regularly tracking hits in 2005-06. LAMP LIGHTER On Apr. 6 at VGK, Pettersson (2-2-4) recorded his 14th career multi-goal game (fourth this season). Since his League debut in 2018-19, the only Canucks skater with more multi-goal efforts is Bo Horvat (15). MILLER TIME Netting his team-leading 29th goal of the season on Apr. 3 vs VGK, J.T. Miller became the third-fastest player in franchise history to record 200 points, joining Pavel Bure (174 GP) and Alexander Mogilny (179 GP) as the only other players to reach the milestone in under 200 games. RECENT CANUCKS MILESTONES Elias Pettersson - 200 Points, Mar. 26 at DAL CURRENT INJURIES Brock Boeser - 3 games Tucker Poolman - 3 games Matthew Highmore - 7 games Nils Höglander - 12 games Brady Keeper - 73 games Brandon Sutter - 73 games Total man games lost (due to injuries or illness): 392 games 4-1 Canucks, hopefully Podz nets one for the effort he's been putting in, due for some puck luck.
