Canucks Lines For Sunday VS Blackhawks

by Sean Zandberg on Nov 21, 2009 1:08 PM PST in Game Preview Comment 14 comments

Jason Botchford has tweeted that lines will look like this:

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows

Raymond-Kesler-Samuelsson

Hansen-Wellwood-Bernier

Glass-Johnson-Rypien

Matt Pettinger has cleared waivers today, and could be assigned to the Manitoba Moose. The Moose beat the Hamilton Bulldogs 5-3 last night. Mike Keane scored twice and Sergei Shirokov had a goal and an assist. They have now won 3 straight.

As for the Canucks game last night.... well I'm still pretty damned happy about it. That was a gutsy win. The Canucks hardly showed any rust out of the gate. The team could have cashed it in after 2 weak calls and 2 powerplay goals against in the first period, but they didn't.

Blastoff. Welcome to the Vancouver spotlight, Christian Ehrhoff, you shitkicker you!

those lineups aren’t surprising at all. pretty much what i would have guessed.

btw, you may want to put up a poll to see what ehrhoff’s nickname should be. blasthoff, bobbyhoff and orrhoff are all liked.

i mean no harm. i come in peace. unlike shane o'brien or kevin bieksa........
watch out for the Rypper too, he can whip anyone.......
GO CANUCKS GO!

no hordichuk or SOB?

if chicago is remembering willy’s hit on jonathan toews — shouldn’t we have hordichuk at least in the line-up to handle byfuglien and/or eager?

Rypper and Glass and Bieksa can take care of that if need be.

Willie Mo can handle himself too.

Yeah I don't see

Upchuck faring any better against anybody than RRumble, probably a lot worse, not to mention how much of a liability he is on the ice.

I forgot we had SOB which was a wonderful world to live in for a week or two.

heh

It's unlikely there will be any crazy retaliation, imo

It was a clean hit, with no malicious intent to injure (apart from the regular desire to clock a guy!). I’ll bet Mitchell gets into one fight and that’s that.

I’m glad Daniel is back. We held our heads above water the past few weeks but it’s great that he will skate on Sunday.

Be worse

if they choose to retaliate by running Hank or Dank, which to be honest, is how I would probably approach the problem…

by yoata on Nov 21, 2009 6:23 PM PST up reply actions

hank and dank are pretty sturdy guys though… i’m not too concerned… but one major injury between the two in nearly a decade of NHL hockey… knock on wood.

Toews is no slouch

but I agree, twins are tough to hit, but if they are targetted and get caught…

by yoata on Nov 21, 2009 6:36 PM PST up reply actions

Yeah, but the Twins have been dealing with that shit on the ice for years anyhow. Unless its something pretty nefarious, they will be able to handle it.

I hope the Hawks do try to goon it up. Spend more time in the box and let what is starting to be a pretty good PP make them pay on the scoreboard.

The earliest use of the word with the spelling we recognize today is found in "L'Acadie: or Seven Years' Exploration in British America" by James Edward Alexander, published in 1849:

We also met a lusty fellow in a forest road with a keg of whisky slung round him who called to us 'Come boys and have some grog, I'm what you call a canuck"

My main concern is for the Canucks to come out aggressive, not passive. They let a team which was playing its 3rd game in 4 days take control last night and finally caught up to a tired team in the 3rd period. They’ve somehow gotta find the aggressiveness at the beginning instead of letting the opponent set the tone. Forget the opponent. They don’t matter. Aggressiveness does.
