After the dismal first few months of last year, this is kind of the mindset isn't it?

 

We're all going to be on edge I'm sure.....

I find that the opposite happens in preseason.

 

The vets kind of mail it in to avoid injury and it’s the young AHL guys that perform because they’re trying to earn a spot.

 

Wouldn’t be surprised if the team in Calgary won but also would t be surprised if it’s a blowout.

Pretty much. Interestingly, when the Canucks won the Presidents’ Trophy in 2011 and 2012, in both years they had a preseason record of 3-5-0.

4th line, most of Abbotsford’s team and Dermot going to Calgary. I hope that isn’t the game on TV.

The game in Calgary will be streamed on Canucks.com. The game in Vancouver will be on Sportsnet.

In the 2019/2020 split squad game that team that was sent to Calgary featured only Virtanen, Beagle, Motte and many AHL vets like Wacey Hamilton and Carter Bancks defeated a heavily veteran laden Calgary Flames team that featured Lindholm, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Monahan, etc and beat them in OT 3-2.

It was actually a very entertaining game too. Lots of the AHL veterans and unimportant prospects played very well. Don't discount the group going to CGY tonight either. They could very well pull away a win.

All righty then!

Lol game day threads are the best,even if its only preseason.Stoked to say the least.

 

GO CANUCKS!!!!

Calgary is sending a goon squad to Rogers Arena tonight. Glad to have Schenn and Arseneau in the lineup.

I noticed that too. Sadly, I’m a bit envious of how much size they have. I think we still need to toughen up more if we want to go more than a round in playoffs.

I would feel better about the start of the regular season if we lost a few in the pre-season tbh. More preparation then expectations this way 

[EliPeterson40]

My take on the lines in van tonight based on projected rosters….

 

Kuz- Petey - Mik

Garland-Bo- Podz

Di Giuseppe- Dries- Lockwood

Arseneau - Focht - Sheppard 

 

Rathbone - Schenn

Dekeyser - Myers

Kalynuk - Woo

 

[Dr. Crossbar]

Just bought cheap tix for today at home.

 

I've never been this pumped to see a pre-season game EVER. 

 

Can't wait to hear "Bruce, there it is" and get a look at Mikheyev and Kuz. Actually excited to see Martin in net.

I remember reading an athletic article and I think Shorty and Cheech were ranked in the top 10 best broadcasters around the league ranked by both Vancouver fans and other hockey based fans. We are very lucky to have both for sure. 

[Shekky]

if I can get the game in Alberta I will watch the home game, mainly because I want to watch Kuzmenko play.
