Why Don't You Have A Seat Over There? Canucks & Predators
Vancouver Canucks at Nashville Predators, Dec 8, 2009 5:00 PM PST
Just about a year ago - when, just like now, Vancouver was trying to keep their heads above water - you may remember a certain game between these two teams. Mr. Everything stood out just a bit:
The Canucks would go on to win this game 3-1 with Burr adding an empty-netter. Fast forward a year later and Mr. Burrows has scored four in his last seven (currently on a three-game goal streak) as he tries to recapture his glory from last year. Look for him to be one of the main guys out there, chucking pucks at Rinne or chucking his body at anything in gold and black. And look for a strong response after their lackluster showing in Carolina three days ago.
With Nashville just two points up on Vancouver, there's no better time to catch a predator. Though perhaps we can do it without the strange chat logs?
Here's your game thread. What is going on in your mind?

It’s borderline, but I think he did.

Greetings! I’ll be about 5:00 late. See you then!
Yes, Burrows jumped for that hit. Still though..I like it!
I was being sarcastic. :-) It was pretty clear to me he left his feet. And then the little kick he did at the end made it pretty obvious. I think it should be a penalty. I like the idea if not the execution.
Well I recall at the time some people still didn’t think he did. I think if you watch the replay he was in the air for the hit. If he missed he was going into the stands.

Burrows didn’t leave his feet till after the hit, did he? In which case his jump was partly theatrical, partly to keep his own balance, and partly to turn around real quick.
Well, sounds good anyway. If he were on the other team, I’d call it, but that’s different.
The opposite of serious is not funny; the opposite of serious is unserious.
To me if you are on your way up, like you have bent your knees and are pushing upwards, and then hit the guy before you become airborne then it is fine. And it is close on this one but I definitely think his skates are off the ice when he delivers the hit. Oh well. Hope he does it again if it sparks the team to a win.

That …left his feet" debate is funny. Its morphed over at Hockeybuzz into Preds fans defending Tootoo as more mature and less dirty.
Canucks fans saying Burr didn’t leave his feet…and…well…you know how they are over there.
So, let me ask the mush more astute hockey fans here at the NM…is Tootoo dirtier than Burrows?
We know Burr’ is the more productive and talented player…but…just as to who is dirtier.
I think Tootoo…

I think Tootoo as well. But I would love to see an informal poll of players around the league. See who they think is dirtier.
It HAS to be Tootoo. He’s been involved in far worse altercations than Burrows has (at least not involving summer ball hockey leagues!)

LOL Yank
…watching OTR today…and they had Roenick on…(he’s a semi regular)…Landsberg asked who the dirtiest player in the league was, and he said Tootoo pretty quickly.
He just doesn’t play with any respect…and it seems he tries to hurt people.
The Preds fans were saying that is a past thing, and that he is much more “mature” this season…

Tootoo’s reckless, but Carcillo is really a d-bag.

Yeah, I agree. Carcillo wins that round. It’s a crime they traded Upshall for him. What a joke.

I’d say he’s been demoted because he hasn’t been very effective lately.

So you demote a guy to a line that lacks offensive ability and then expect him to break out of his slump? I am not saying he shouldn’t have been demoted but that you can’t expect a guy to get going playing with who Sammy is playing with.
Just till Demo replaces Welly.

No…Smo is right…they suck…just not as bad as usual.
The Canucks need to improve getting out of their own end though. Only times the Preds had sustained pressure was when the Canucks didn’t clear their own end smartly…to many defensive turnovers.

For all the grief he takes around here, yoata does make a lot of good points.
Says a lot of things that are unpopular, but true.

by Linden4evah on Dec 8, 2009 7:38 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Ummm…no…yoata picks up on things that they are doing well, and he knows the game…but this one was actually close to being different.
Sure was a frustrating game…so many “what ifs”.
That “new NHL” call on Sammy is something that gets called as often as it doesn’t.
The PK did fuck it up…but geez,, just a stick from Bieksa and the puck doesn’t get through.
The PP is stale though…need to change up who is out with who…
So, no…this game was not a rout…the Preds are just a hard working team, and did very well at clogging up the middle tonight
Can’t find the stat yet…not up maybe…but the Preds blocked a lot of shots. They collapsed hard…lets give them credit…great game by them on home ice.
I do agree with yoata on one thing…I was the guys biggest booster…but after seeing Bernier blow a sure fire goal there…guy has got to go! That was the final straw…sick of him wasting great set ups! ( still like Welly though Y man!)
Needs to be replaced with someone that can actually put the puck in the net.
They are close though…lets be positive, always darkest befoer the dawn!

Agree
on the PP, but yet again, despite scoring at a better clip than many other, with less minutes and zero PP time, Hansen NEVER even gets a sniff there, once again AV has his mind made up about a player’s role and that’s how it is, regardless of indications otherwise.
On Bernier, he’s not useless, decent depth guy, but who can afford $2M decent depth guys? Guys paid like that had better either be in the top 6 and contributing like it, or be damned good in some other way, and he’s neither.
Wellwould, after “breaking out” of his slump, basically just started another one after 3 games… 1 point in his last 4, not sure he’s even a decent depth player at this point, much less a 3rd line centre.
DO NOT WANT.
Fucking refs were asleep tonight and Steve Bernier can accept a pass when the game is on the line.

Gary Valk
made a great point post-game and it’s something I’ve noticed before as well.
WTF is MItch doing out there late in a game where a goal is needed? This happens a lot that I’ve seen, just nonsensical personnel choices at critical times, especially in cases where offense is required.
Also, as predicted, since Dank has been back, Raymond’s game as taken a beating, 3 points (all in one game) and -4 in the 8 games since the top line was reassembled.
