Hockey Is Back! Canucks - Flames Double Game Preview

What better way to kick off the Canucks' preseason than with 2 games against the Flames at 2 different venues all on the same night? 1 game in Vancouver and 1 in Calgary. While the vast majority of the Canucks' star players (Group C) will have the night off, the Flames will ice their new top line of Jarome Iginla-Olli Jokinen-Alex Tanguay in the game in Calgary to get some chemistry going there.

Canucks at Calgary starts at 6:00 PST and Calgary at Canucks starts at 7:00 PST.. The game in Calgary will air on Sportsnet Pacific. Both games will stream live on Canucks.com. Here are the rosters for both games:

Star-divide

IN CALGARY

CANUCKS

Forwards

Tambellini – Perrault – Hansen, Glass – Bolduc – Schroeder, Volpatti – Bliznak – Morin, Hordichuk – Rosa – Anthony

Defence

Ballard – Baumgartner, O’Brien – Ramsay, Zimmerman – Alberts, Polasek

Goal

Weiman & Lack

FLAMES

Forwards

Iginla-Jokinen-Tanguay, Backlund-Glencross-Kotalik, Ivanans-Meyer-Nemiscz, Armstrong-Cameron-Moss, Chucko,

Defence

White-Bouwmeester, Regehr-Negrin, Baldwin-Meyers, Pelech

Goal

Irving-Kiprusoff

IN VANCOUVER

CANUCKS

Forwards

Schaefer – Rypien – Oreskovich, Torres – Friesen (cut) (Malhotra?) – Desbiens, Sweatt – Morrison – Shirokov, Rai – Schneider – Weller

Defence

Rome – Sweatt, Connauton – Bieksa, Oberg – Tanev, Ellington – Hannay (cut)

Goal

Schneider & Shantz

FLAMES

Forwards

Bourque-Hagman-Stajan, Conroy-Jackman-Sutter, Bancks-Bouma-Cunning, Grantham-Patterson-Rheault, Wahl,

Defence

Giordano-Kronwall, Staios-Sarich, Pardy-Seabrook, Brodie

Goal

Keetley-Karlsson. Karlsson is a 6'6" goaltender. He's a beast.

These are not the official lines. Manny Malhotra is supposed to play in one of the games as well but it is unsure where at this point.

Jordan Schroeder is really going to have to show something more in preseason. He has barely impressed so far. I'm curious as to what Shirokov will bring, and I wonder if most eyes will be on Brendan Morrison. This is where it really counts for fringe players. Who will emerge? Who won't?

That is a pretty NHL lineup for them.

We’ll see. I like the Sweatt-Morrison-Shirokov line to do something.

The Flames are playing way more vets the first night out of the shoot. Different ways of going about it I guess.

Dude, Calgary has a better lineup in both venues. Wow. They’ve got at least one legit NHL top 9 line in both, and 1.5 or 2 legit d-pairs. We’re severely outgunned.

And yes, I said 2 legit. 2 legit to quit.

You mean 2 legit 2 quit right?

And yeah, Calgary is apparently coming out swinging in the preseason. Either that means they think their prospects aren’t that good, or they’re trying to impress everyone off the bat

Maybe

The Sutters are glad that they’re playing 2 games at the same time, and hope this carries over to the regular season. That way, they finish their 82 games in half the time.

I mean, it looks like the Flames like their golf. If they’re gonna go golfing anyways, they might as well start half a season’s time earlier and laugh at everyone else in the playoffs three months later!

Not sure why I never liked seinfeld, but I truly never liked it. There were funny parts, sure. But at the same time, it was just so easy to get over. Pedestrian and safe humour. the musical equivalent of which would be the aforementioned band.

Not sure what you mean by “safe” humour.

But I’d be amazed to see what you did find humourous on television over the same period of time. If the answer is “nothing”, well, fair enough, you don’t like TV comedy. But I’m curious.

'The Same Time'

is a very long time. And u assume that because I didn’t like Seinfeld that I didn’t like TV comedy? See, that right attitude right there is why people who don’t like seinfeld think the fans are pod people. I didn’t say it wasn’t funny; in fact I very specifically DID say there were funny bits. I disliked the show, disliked the characters, and found the humor to be ok. Heck, I may have even liked it alot with different people playing the various roles. But as it was, I didn’t like seinfeld.

Interestingly, there were other ‘safe’ comedy shows that I did like during the seinfeld run: friends, cheers, fresh prince til it got lame, frasier (yeah I was the one person who liked it), others. The difference being it was safe humour with likeable characters (except for ross…I always wanted to punch him). If Seinfeld pushed boundaries like family guy or the office even, I’d like it and it’s unlikeable cast. It didn’t. Call me heretic if u will. That’s the joy of art; it’s subjective.

Repackaged 90s sitcoms with a fresh coat of paint, really. With poor comedic actors.

On the whole though, NM seems to have comedic taste. It’s Always Sunny is what happens when you have great writing, great actors and a network that backs the show.

Bad comedic actors?

Are you out of your mind? Jim Parsons has won 2 Emmy’s in 2 attempts for his portrayal of Dr Sheldon Cooper. Does anyone not love NPH? Barney is one of the best characters on TV. The guy who plays Marshall in HIMYM is also the guy who wrote and starred in Forgetting Sarah Marshall which is a hysterical movie. He was also in Slackers. Jason Segel is a wonderful comedic actor.

And if you say one bad thing about the wonderful, beautiful and talented Cobie Smulders I will lose my shit.

Every sitcom is a repackaged 90s sitcom. The good ones are still good though and done in an original enough way that it’s still fresh.

Jim Parsons is not at all funny, Neil Patrick Harris is miscast (and no, I don’t love him, why would I?), and Jason Segel is fine while having to deal with subpar writing. I’ve liked him since Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared, comparatively better shows. Forgetting Sarah Marshall was an alright movie, I enjoyed it. I imagine Cobie was the female? She’s attractive.

Not every comedy is a sitcom, as I understand it generally means day-to-day life comedy. Which Arrested Development, for example, isn’t. But if we’re saying they’re all sitcoms, they’re not all repackaged.

Hey! It aint that bad! All sitcoms are repackaged…there is only so many situations you can put people in. They tend to follow a formula because it works. Even Sunny has the ensemble…the rotating storylines for each character…

If Big Bang is off the list. so is Two and a Half Men mentioned above.

And How I Met Your Mother.

I like it for the dialogue…maybe I am a closet geek or something.

It’s Always Sunny isn’t like anything else though, the only formula is that it’s the same group and rarely do previous episodes affect future ones. But the jokes aren’t recycled from other shows.

From what I’ve seen of Two and a Half Men, and that’s maybe two episodes (it’s a rule in my house to run to the remote whenever you see Charlie Sheen’s face), I don’t know where it’s supposed to be funny.

I’m an actual geek. :O

I don’t find any of the jokes recycled on BBT. The writing is one of it’s strengths.

Its all to taste I guess. I like Sunny too, and it is great, but it isn’t avant garde in the regard of one story shows. It may be a little different for people comedies, but animated shows do that all the time.

Sunny isn’t like anything else to you. I will even agree that it is original. But its not like it is the Holy Grail of comedy…just reading this list, if you had to force people to just pick one…which would it be?

I would be torn between Family Guy and South Park, but the animated shows make me giggle.

When Sunny is consistently funny as those shows usually are…it would make the cut…

Oh, and Weeds is darkly funny. And Modern Family is a great example of a tried and true sitcom idea that is brought alive by the performers and the scripts.

I may watch too much TV!

;-)

If you mean your list, then I’d say MASH, because it’s unlike anything else. I don’t love it but I can see good writing in it. I would not hesitate to recommend Arrested Development to anyone, so I’d put it at the top of virtually any list of comedies. And for animated shows, early Simpsons easily beats out all others for writing and voiceovers. Look at the geniuses that put their time into that show, and the stable of characters that (though now overused) they built.

For me, It’s Always Sunny is consistently funny. The writing is top notch, and when it does lag a little (as all shows must) the quality of the actors and the character nuances take over. It’s the most criminally, critically underrated comedy I can think of.
