UPDATE 1:28 PM: The Vancouver Sun reports that Sergei Shirokov will play with the Twins tonight. The Canucks are loving the fact that Shirok loves to shoot the puck a lot and are giving him a big chance here. Love it!
Other lines:
Rick Rypien-Jannik Hansen-Guillame Desbiens, Dave Scatchard-Mark Parrish-Alex Burrows, and Marco Bliznak-Pierre-Cedric Labrie- Eric Walsky.
The defence: Willie Mitchell-Yann Sauve, Christian Ehrhoff-Taylor Ellington and Shane O'Brien-Nolan Baumgartner.
This roster conflicts the Canucks.com roster preview.
Cody Hodgson is supposed to be ready to play by tomorrow night.
From Canucks.com:
Vancouver’s roster for Friday night will be drastically different than the one that upended Anaheim. Canucks regulars scheduled to play include Alex Burrows, Alex Edler, Willie Mitchell, Sami Salo and Daniel and Henrik Sedin, although the name that is generating the most excitement is Cody Hodgson.Alongside Mario Bliznak, Guillaume Desbiens, Eric Walsky and Sergei Shirokov, Hodgson is a prospect who could be in the line-up Friday that is looking to make an impact in hopes of surviving the next round of cuts.
The preview mentions Christian Ehrhoff playing against his former team. Andrew Raycroft reportedly will play the whole game and Daren Machesny will back him up. Let's see what Rayzor is made of!
For the Sharks: No Thornton, Heatley, Malhotra, Boyle or Setoguchi. More on that here.
Game Time: 7:30 pm PST
TV: Nope. Streamed on Canucks.com

The Sedins, Burrows, Hodgson and Shirok…nice. Could be the core of this clown car we call a team for a few seasons.

Haha. Scratchard/Parrish/Burrows? It’s like the Owww/Awww/Fuuuck line.

Too bad this one is not on tv because I sure would like to see what shirok and them twins look like together.

One, count ‘em, one NHL game – and just an exhibition, at that – and the kid’s being lined up w/the Sedins. Yeah, I’d say he’s on a fast track….
He sounds like a good fit, tho and I’m looking forward to seeing how he does. I wonder if the twins’ll be showing off their speed tonite. They seem to enjoy doing that in the preseason, just to remind us that they can, before settling down into their usual puck-control style for the rest of the year.
Thanks, I'll try that since, like so many here, I will be blacked out.

I was blacked out yesterday, but why?
There was no TV broadcast available in the US, so why did they black out the web feed for viewers in the US?
Who is Ramsey?
I was at the game last night and some guy named Ramsey was playing defense, #67 if i remember right. He wasn’t listed on the game program, and I can’t find him on the Canucks website.
Who is this guy?
Hansen is the story for me tonight
A great game and he is still in the mix a good to average game and he has bought himself a ticket to Winnipeg.
Yeah Kelowna…he kind of had that spot of best prospect not playing with the big club last eyar.
This year, he is just another in many.
Carry on Mr Gillis…

This is such a interesting puzzle for the forwards
The twins, Kes, Burrows, Samuelson and Rypen are a locks in my book (6)
Wellwood and Bernie could still go but you have to waive him plus he is in great shape and he is playing very well so he looks close to a lock to me. (2)
Hordichuk is best heavy weight and you can see he a total room guy as well so he is likely to make the team (1)
That’s the top 9
Of the rest i would ran for the 3 or 4 remaining roster spots as of right now based on their play in training camp and last year results and contract status I would rank
Mason Raymond on number one
Ryan Johnson number two
Shirokoff number three
Hodgson number four
Hansen number five
Grabner number six
And then the rest……… But that will change again after tonight
Right now I would say Shirokoff is moving up and Hodgson (because he can not play) is moving down. Hansen needs to light it up.
If Parrish and Scatchard light it up tonight like 6 pts for the line and a big positive plus minus hmm that would give Gillis and AV something to think about.
What? Balls Johnson not on the main squad?? No way!

From TSN: The drama surrounding Phil Kessel has finally come to an end as the Boston Bruins have traded their disgruntled sniper to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a first and a second round pick in 2010, and a first round pick in 2011. Kessel and the Maple Leafs then quickly agreed to terms on a new five-year, $27 million deal.Wow. Leafs pissing away draft picks again…but it’s Phil freaking Kessel!
As you were…
i’m only catching the first period probably. friends and i are going clubbing.
on the other hand, i am currently pre-drinking. white rum and hard lemonade. which means i may tipsy-typing in an hour’s time.
GO CANUCKS GO!
Whatever your inbibing choice, be it liquid or “gas”, typing errors happen.
Look at me!
I know its a bold move and all, but Burkie gave up way too much. Yes, its Phil Freaking Kessel, but its two 1sts and a 2nd!
T.O better be better than their spot of last year, or Leaf Nation will implode if it is Mar and they are already out again..
If the Leafs can, with their new rock-em sockem D’ and Kessel and Co, get that pick up into 10-15 range….better.
Though as I read another wise poster say somewhere, Boston is now in the position to offer whomever has the 1st pick overall next summer a bevy of options.
Even if it is Tanner Hall, who wouldn’t trade their own #1 for 2 0r 3 more?
Kelowna, I agree almost exactly. I think that Parrish, if he can perform, is a definite option. He is only 1/2 a mil. He, or Scatchard as a call up (if he makes it through waivers to the Moose) provide depth and a degree of veteran leadership.
I like that you have Shirkov making the team so far.,..he sure has AV’s eye

I had the same problem.
Try this link, it works for me. http://atdhe.net/8926/watch-vancouver-canucks-vs-san-jose-sharks
i have the game just fine on canucks.com
players coming onto ice
i think it’s a san jose feed.
GO CANUCKS GO!
I don’t think livewire and the nhl realize the only reason we’re watching online and not at a bar is because we live in places that make that not possible and those are usually not in their prescribed region. Sigh.
And that being said, loving this jumbotron feed, although it might just be the hockey they’re playing.
I’d be watching this at a bar if it were playing at a bar. This is my first Friday not at a bar in God knows how long.
My bad. I think bars should start getting fibre networks and stream these games when it’s only online.

that’s what I’ve been wondering too. is the stress on the second or third syllable?

I read that as your french kissing in a bit. I just woke up and can’t see right.

You can watch tonight's game.

It’s choppy on my screen….but then again, everything is.
Oh, I see now, somebody posted the site. Shirok looking good even on a choppy screen.

What a preseason
Canuck Team A comes out strong then Team B outdoes them then Team A augmented does even better. Can you say internal competition?
no kidding
From what i have seen Hansen is heading for Winnipeg – nice goal Scatch but no dice same with Parrish,
Shirakoff is putting real presure on Ryan Johnsons position in the pecking order. However It will very tough to let Ryan go – he is an instant pick up on the waiver wire.
Why do people assume Hordichuk is a lock? He doesn’t have to dress every night, that’s for sure.
by thelastjohnny on Sep 18, 2009 9:19 PM PDT up reply actions
I don’t think Hordichuk is a lock either. I think he is completely expendible now. We really don’t need him
by Sean Zandberg on Sep 18, 2009 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions
I am thinking this
There is no prospect pushing Hordi and we need his toughness on the other hand if develop some killer offence push who needs shut down guy? We just outscore most teams and rely on strong D and Lou.
The 4th line doesn’t get many minutes though…who would be a candidate to play with Johnson and Rypien?
by Sean Zandberg on Sep 18, 2009 9:31 PM PDT up reply actions
I still think that if the standings permit, the Canucks will roll their lines more evenly and keep everyone tuned and rested for the playoffs. it won’t be a sea change, but the 4th line will see more time this year.
Oh yeah, the Flames are going to be tough to topple this year, just like last year
by Sean Zandberg on Sep 18, 2009 9:40 PM PDT up reply actions
I think Gillis is loving it Smo.
Can’t go wrong when its like going in with a shopping list and picking from quality.
Did you see Shiro just at the buzzer, puck bouncing and the D’ guy relaxing….loving this guy. I bet Daniel and Henrik try to get him a goal in the third….almost had one on the PP there.

Who’s up for doing up a post game FanPost after the game? I haven’t heard or seen over half the game with internet issues. I’ll post it to the main page when you are done.
Bah. I can stat crunch and do something. Never take a day off! Not when it’s hockey!
by Sean Zandberg on Sep 18, 2009 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, they’ve been just tearing it up with Shirokov and just playing with incredible confidence.
by thelastjohnny on Sep 18, 2009 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions
The canucks.com boxscore has Cody Hodgson in the line up, but I’ve certainly not seen or heard him in the game. Did they mix him up with Mr. Scratchard?
They also have Grabner in the line up, with an assist off the 2nd goal, but that was Parrish, right?
