GDT: Islanders @ Canucks. 05/03/18 7:00 pm. SN

Post by Hockey Widow »

@kenwardskorner
#Canucks practice underway at @RogersArena. Lines and D pairs to begin are:

Leipsic-Horvat-Boeser
Sedin-Sedin-Jokinen
Archibald-Sutter-Motte
Gagner/Goldobin-Dowd-Virtanen

Edler-Gudbranson
Del Zotto-Stecher
Hutton-Pouliot
Biega

Dowd to sit tonight. Goldobin is getting plenty of chances to show his NHL game.

Jokinen plays with the twins. Baertschi's injury sure helps him. Guess we don't want to use an injury call up.

Markstrom expected to start.

Dank can set a personal high with consequetive games scored tonight.

Boeser vs Barazal. Barazal leads all rookies in points but Boeser leads all rookies in goals. Barazal has also set a record for the most 5 point games by a rookie at 4. He has slowed down in the last few games.

I expect a high scoring, last goal wins type of game.

Exciting OT loss.
- Dank extends his goal streak
- Boeser with 2 to surpass Trevor's rookie goal totals
- Jake gets lucky (finally)
- Leipsic continues to look good on this pig
- Bon Motte
- Goldy giveaways galore

CGY regulation win.
OTT regulation win.
ARI shootout win over EDM.
BUF crushes Leaves.

Stecher had a good chance to shoot the puck but wired it way over the net. All of a sudden, the Islanders went on the attack. That is exactly the reason why I dislike him. He can never hit the net. :mad:

I fully understand Markstrom wanting to be a leader but there is a fine line he is walking with barking at his teammates hope the team responds instead of tuning his ass out...

After the goal went in he screamed at the bench Lets go they played it back after a whistle Garrett said if he lets in 3 goals on 5 shots they aren't screaming from the bench lets go I understand he wants to win an the team needs a wake up call just not sure hes the guy who should be screaming at the bench loud enough that sportsnet shows it during the next stoppage of play... Its a fine line he is walking cause he has let in some tough goals this year I get how he feels when he is playing well and getting no support

Agreed with Garrett, Markstrom should calm down. He has been part of the problems in most nights but none of his teammates complained. If this continues, he should be traded.
