6-5 Preds Dec.01/11 |
| The Enemy | On The Forecheck | Scoring Leaders | H. Sedin: 11-44-55 Erat: 12-27-39 |
Honestly, I did not watch the Canucks-Avs game. I just heard from some dudes in a wedding party that they beat Colorado in a shootout. My first question was: "Was Cory Schneider in net?" Dude said "No, man. Luongo was!" And I replied "F***ing rights! He's won 2 of his last 3 shootouts!" So the saga continues. The Canucks continue getting saved by goaltending because the peeps in front of the netminder are not putting out. I see from the boxscore of the last game that Van were outshot 18-7 in the first period. Lovely.
So help me out. How has Lord Byron Bitz looked in a Canucks uni?
Well, bring on the Preds then. Let's see where a non-consistent effort against Nashville gets them. My guess is nowhere good. However, including the playoffs, the Canucks have won 4 straight in Music City...even though Country Music is an oxymoron.
These game previews will be a little more thorough once I get through the festivities where I am at. That won't be until the weekend. I will not be catching this game either. But don't worry! I will update the score-predicting list at that time. Until then: predict a 3-2 score. It has happened 13 times this season. A 4-2 score has only happened twice. A 5-1 score has happened 5 times. Damned unpredictable Canucks. Hey....I am just trying to help. I am also being a jerk to HockeyFanInColorado. Hehehh.

The last meeting: Madness. An unexpected high scoring game and some dipshit avenges his wife's tears from a playoff loss:
Speaking of that playoff loss...all praise be to the KESLORD!
That was where BEASTMODE was born right? Love it.
The title of this post, once again, is brought to you by White Zombie:
Kesler is at his best against these guys:
PREDICTION
3-2 Predators. These half assed Canucks efforts are going to catch up to them some time. Kostitsyn with the winner.

Thanks for not mentioning how well 4-1 is doing.
Because I am sure it is not.
Nonetheless, its the prediction for me again.

Hope pekka is in net.
The preds have been playing hot enough to melt the ice beneath their skates when peks is between the pipes. I hope they stick with him.

I think tomorrow might not be your run-of-the-mill Tuesday night snoozefest. On the other hand, If current trends continue, I don’t suppose a 1-0 win in a shootout for us is completely out of the question either. :)
Who have you canuckleheads got your eyes on up there anyway? Trade-market wise…
Moen has been tossed around. Subban…Morrow…Weber… ; )
Grit and a D-man are the most pressing needs.
This is probably the most likely scenario though, IMO:
GMMG isn’t really known for his big bold moves so realistically I expect the Canucks to acquire a forward and dman we’ve barely heard of but has more upside than us civilians can understand.

Weber. NIce. LOL
I think Ruutu is the best grit on the market right now. I would pretty much like to see the same for the Preds. Our D is solid but I wouldn’t mind a little more veteran depth.

3-2 Higgins
In summing up, it's the Constitution, it's Mabo, it's justice, it's law, it's the vibe and... No, that's it, it's the vibe. I rest my case
3-2 Nucks
Coho GWG
"Let's be honest - I watched you walk away
You went off to find - anything else - anything less

Yikes! The Preds will use your country music slur in the room for motivation, Sean!
So here’s one of my favourite Bob Newhart quotes:
“I don’t like country music, but I don’t want to denigrate those who do.”
“And for those of you who do like country music, denigrate means to put down”.

My first ever prediction! w00t
I’ll go with 3-1 with the “ill-fated” snack goal for the Preds’ lone goal
Keslord with the game winner
hopefully some more quality Luongo Poetry tonight! unfortunately, not a whole lot rhymes with ‘Pekka’…I can still make it happen, though

heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
aren’t you that “sbnationite” that posted on SCoC about going to their Garden for an away game against Nashville? that seemed awfully nice to you…I didn’t buy any of that
make sure to rub their faces in the fact that the Pats got schooled by the Giants!

4-2 Canucks, Mason Raymond.
Hodgson on Hansen--

I really enjoy playing with him."
four exclamation points!
I dig anything related to the number 8, of multiple of 8!
you’re alright in my book!

Now Sean, did we REALLY lose?
Sure y’all got your free point, but that was NOT a REAL loss.
I’d call it a draw, and a damn good hockey game between two solid teams.
