Popular Post OldFaithfulCap Posted November 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Game info : TV: Sportsnet. Radio: Sportsnet 650 Overview: 4169 days. A lot can happen in that time; a first grader can become a high senior, a book series can like Game of Thrones can become a worldwide smash and then flame out and a rookie like Landeskog can become a Stanley Cup winning veteran. Tonight the high flying Boston Bruins, first in the league take on the almost last place Canucks. Some of the veterans are still there - Bergeron, Krejci and someone else for whom my description as rat-faced cheapshot who makes Tom Wilson looks like Lady Byng is about the nicest thing I can say. The Bruins are 1st in goals for and against and are top ten in special teams, including 1st on the penalty kill. By all rights this looks like a sunday massacre, a game where the Canucks slim hopes of ending .500 on their 5-game road trip ends and perhaps also the coaching career of Bruce in Vancouver but Nope it doesn't. It doesn't matter what the stats say. It doesn't matter what lead the Canucks get. It doesn't matter what lines are out there. 4169 days ago a Canucks team who could barely score almost won the whole thing. The current team has scoring ability that the 2010-11 canucks could only dream about but it has no backbone. They coast, they panic. They should just give up and go away meekly but does the North remember? Do they remember last year when they caught fire? Do they remember the desire of every Canucks fan to be able to forget the so closes and have a winner? By all rights probably not, this is an easy loss to excuse but I say forget process, forget stats and show us what this team can do when they play 3 full periods. Stats MATCH-UP INFO Tonight marks the first of two meetings between the Canucks and the Bruins this season: Nov. 13 (away) and Feb. 25 (home). The Canucks are 35-73-15-2 all-time against the Bruins including a 12-43-7-1 record on the road. Vancouver is 5-5-0 in their last 10 games vs Boston (3-2-0 in their last 5). Among active Canucks skaters, J.T. Miller leads the team in career points vs Boston with 17 points (6-11-17) in 24 games. Bo Horvat has the highest career points-per-game rate vs Boston with 13 points (7-6-13) in 14 games (0.93 P/GP). Luke Schenn leads Vancouver skaters in games played against the Bruins (39 GP). Schenn's 16 points (3-13-16) in those 39 games are his most against any single opponent in his career. Tonight marks Schenn's 100th game as a Canuck.

HKSR Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It's gonna be an ugly one. Afternoon game on a back to back, a Bruins team on fire, Demko cold as ice.... I'd be surprised if it's not a blowout. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game I am hoping for us to win. At some point Demko will return to form, and then we will win lots. Maybe it’s today? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OldFaithfulCap Posted November 13, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2022 I walked away from Vancouver after the 2011 loss to Boston. Seeing those guys, boychuk injuring raymond and getting nothing, marchand getting nothing and then Tim Thomas not going to the White House as he's a crazy racist made me so mad. It felt like there was no justice, that Vancouver would never win and I felt that the Canucks gave up in the last few games. After some self reflection I realized I was way too attached, and that I needed a break and I did take one until this season. It would be beautifully poetic if they could win today and this win could be the start of a turnaround. But there is little justice in life or sports... 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us to win today Demko will need to be back in Double Bubble Boy form. And if he is, then the turnaround you’re suggesting is definitely starting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
