If he’s still hobbling…that’s not a good sign. Sigh.

Does that mean Tambo is in instead of Oreskovich?
Presumably if Higgins was playing, he’s on L2, which means Tambo with L4 might be more than just a practice?

please dont let tambo play i honestly think he wont bring anything positive as a fourth liner to the canucks. Throughout the year he’s shown that he can only be affective as a top six guy and even that was limited after his “torrid” scoring streak. I want the bang and crash fourth line of glass-lappy-oreo and have hodgson slate up on the third line. I really like what he was doing with the puck last game.

They only play 5-6 mins anyway
So it’s really not that big of a deal. Maybe tambo is motivated. This is probably his only shot to make difference these playoffs. Him and hodgson can maybe make the most of their 5 mins. I kinda wish reskie was playing for glass. Then it would be a real fringe line

Is it time to start giving Glass the Hordichuk treatment? haha. Futile. I’ll Hordi could beat him in a game of Scrabble.

I wouldn't go that far
Hordi doesn’t seem overly sharp. I wonder if the team would be excited for a guy like tambo when he gets a shot? Sure they have bigger things to think about but they must have an opinion especially if he’s a liked guy in the room.

Well it was said in jest. The Scrabble part. Put really, I’m not impressed with Glass at all. I’ve been wanting Oreo in place of Glass for several games now.

I agree on Glass
He’s done nothing of value in the playoffs so far. I’ve noticed Cody doing good stuff on that line and seen Oreo do good stuff, but Glass just seems so blah and bland. He has 3 fucking shots in TOTAL. Cody has just about 4 times the amount in 4 fewer games with less ice time per game

I think
we oughtta all blame harrison for Glass’ fall from grace. He kicked ass til that scrabble game broke him.

if hodgson and tambo were on a line together i wouldn’t mind it. They are both two very smart hockey players.

I’m all for a Manitoba line as well. Fast, and Oreo can smack guys.
Tamby had 109 hits in the regular season, so he can hit harder than his size, and CoHo has shown a desire to do the same.
Nuck’s Misconduct Bishop, 1st United Church of Luongod
The way Lapierre is playing, I don’t want to see his minutes restricted.
I honestly think the coaching staff hasn’t entirely figured out how to use Hodgson. He either needs time working as a winger so he can be effective doing that with the Sedins or Kesler, or additional work on his skating/defence so he can centre the 3rd line. I wouldn’t mind seeing him be the true C on the 2nd unit PP, now that Sammie is out.
I personally would like a Tamby-Hodgson-Oreskovich L4 tonight, with Glass sitting, but that’s unlikely to happen.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
He was
The third line centre in the third last game.
A few shifts Lappy was out in defensive zone F/Os…but CoHo showed the coaches more of what he can do in that game…

Why put Tambo on line 4? Replace the 4th line spot with a crusher named Oreo not some dried up offensive juggernaut named Tambo

I think we need offence more than crushing right now. Anyone who can generate some offence and take some shots that Rinne will trap (leading to faceoffs) is ok with me.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
That’s what the Sedins need to do more of :) I’ll take the bruiser. Plus he’s awesome at forechecking

Oreo just read your comment, and is now fully committed to being the offensive spark plug you suggest he isn’t :)
Or at least I hope so.
don’t bank on it :)

Meh
4th line will only see the ice in the first 2 periods. I’m fine with Tambo in the lineup, he’s pretty good at keeping the play dead both ways.
I had a hunch he might play
And now I have a hunch he might surprise us all.
by Canuckelhead on May 9, 2011 1:38 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I saw
Your late add to the score predicting thread…
Trying to sandbag us all!
Wouldn’t that be something though? Tambo plays, gets a shift in the third, streaks down the wing and rips one top cheese from his special spot?

Top cheese. Lol
I’ve never heard that before. It would be something and it’s the kind of thing that happens in the playoffs. Where heroes are made. My feelings are often wrong but since Samuelsson went down in the back of my mind I’ve been thinking tambo and how he might be in just the right desperate state and with enough rest to make a difference
by Canuckelhead on May 9, 2011 1:48 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
Totally fine
with Tambo in the lineup. If Higgins ends up not making it through the game, Tambo can be moved up to L2 with Kesler and Raymond. They had some success early in the year maybe they have a couple more great shifts in them.
Hell
It might only need 1 great shift

"You can't come in my kitchen, kick my dog, and take a box full of ballpoints! Your ass must be crazy!"
This is true
Worth a shot. And I’d play Oreskovich over Glass. Please AV? Please?
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I agree but
its not going to happen. For whatever reason, Glass and Rome can do no wrong in AV’s eyes.
Looking at a big game from lou too.
He tends to play his best after an off night and while he didn’t really let in any bad goals last game he looked a little shaky. Bounce back game
by Canuckelhead on May 9, 2011 1:52 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
He will be
gold tonight. No doubt. Can’t blame him for any of the goals the other night. Two great shots by Ward, a terrible bounce and a breakaway. Although I think he stops the breakawa if it wasn’t his first shot of the game.
Agreed
And he did end up making some big saves so the shakiness might be mostly in my head. Just felt like he was fighting the puck a little. But tonight he’s gonna be all world lou
by Canuckelhead on May 9, 2011 2:00 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions
I think that tends to happen when a goalie gives one up on the first shot. Guys never seem right if that happens
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
"You can't come in my kitchen, kick my dog, and take a box full of ballpoints! Your ass must be crazy!"
would like to see him
get a couple EASY saves right away. Feel the puck early and get into the game.
nope

In as many weeks but I don’t know much about him otherwise. He also looks a little reckless but hits like a sledgehammer

Sometimes those ratings can be prophetic
For second and third line players. I’ve “scouted” quite a few solid nhlers before they broke out. Haha. Although I’m not playing that game right now cause the f’n network is down

@nhlrulebook: We mailed a memo to all teams outlining the crackdown on diving. Most teams were supportive. The Canucks fell down and faked a paper cut.

Sure plays well for his homeland. Maybe he should have wore a Slovak jersey when he played here.
