Popular Post OldFaithfulCap Posted March 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) Media TV: SportsNet, Hulu+ (USA) Radio: Sportsnet 650 Overview Julius: Are you the King of Anything? Harold: Like what? Julius: Anything. King of the lanes at the local bowling alley Harold: King of the lanes? Julius:King of the lanes. King of the Trolls. Harold: King of the Trolls? Julius:Yes a clandestine land found underneath your floorboards. Harold: No, that's ridiculous Julius: Agreed. But let's start at Ridiculous and move backwards. Stranger than fiction: https://youtu.be/tTO583QQbZ4?t=77 For some reason the LA Kings always bring this scene to mind (It's a great movie and even better for anyone who hates Will Ferrell too as he plays it straight and is very good.) The Canucks play their second game of their road trip against the Kings. The Kings have been steady but not spectacular and are all but assured of a playoff spot. They have a scoring by committee approach and they believe in their young goalies even if they may end up playing their former starter quick if they go deep into the postseason. Tonight we will see Korplsalo in net. The Canucks were rocked to sleep in Mullet arena and their dreams of 5-straight went out the door. While Demko has earned a rest he may start again with the team playing the Ducks tomorrow. The powerplay did not click last game and has ventured outside the top 10 for one of the few times this season. No line-up changes are expected though McDonough is with the team. Tank or no tank, the Canucks should be better tonight, but will it be enough?

Slams her stick and storms off. How about this? Regardless if it's a win or loss support your team. What is important to me it the players are working as a unit, and breaking bad habits. I put tank gifs on the PGT. But I'm not jumping up and down "We Lost". I don't take satisfaction with wins or losses this late in the season. I'm just hoping for a good draft spot. But it's amazing to watch guys like Petey, Kuz, Miller etc. Even Beau is making me forget Bo. "It is what it is..." 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mando27 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 10 - 0 Canucks. Goals from Joshua/Aman/Garland/Kraft Dinner/Dries/Podz and Delia gets the Canucks first shut out of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren’t going to lose too many with elite players and a pretty easy schedule It is what it is… Have to say I’ve been really enjoying the hockey though 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want us to get a good draft spot, I hope we can get the 5th spot, i have a good feeling about that one, but we'll see. I'm not as optimistic as some since the change but willing to be wrong. Would like to see ice time spread out but i'm glad Abby guys are getting a good shot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
