GDT: Senators @ Canucks March 09, 2026 @ 6:00 PM BCST Prime

[Picker of Cherries]

Top 10 ways to break the Wayne Maki curse:

1. Promote the official removal of #11 as a jersey number option going forward.
2. Promote selling the team to a group of 11 Larscheiders.
3. Wear a number 11 Maki jersey - the more authentic and blood stained, the better.
4. Obviously burn anything associated with Mark Messier.
5. On Remembrance Day games, chant “Maki!” 11 times at exactly the 11 minute mark of each period.
6. Consume beverages during games in exactly 11 tips of the glass.
7. Cut pizza into 11 slices or any other food into 11 portions before eating during a game.
8. Break any lottery wheels you find into 11 pieces and bury the parts in 11 different locations.
9. On draft lottery day, stuff 11 ping-pong balls (edit: It is highly dangerous to insert ping pong balls into any bodily orifice. If a ball becomes stuck, seek immediate medical attention.)
10. Whenever a Canuck is called for high sticking, smile as you run your index finger across your face indicating the Ted Green gash.

5-1 Nucks, EP with hatty.

Doing my bit to ensure a L.

A few more losses and it should be done.

11. Before the puck drops, LickHerMaki 11 times, then do Doggy so you can both watch the game.

[Cornuck]

8-game home stand - this should be a treat for the fans.

Is that 11 licks or 11 sessions? Time is of the essence

Doesn’t Foote know the Senators have one of the most punchable guys in the league?

[Carl Yagro]

I'd lay down odds that ol' punchable Brady would end up chopping down the Douglas Fir.

Well to be fair, two of the most punchable guys in the league. Doesn't Bieksa's ol' Pal Nick Cousins also play for OTT?

Foote could have gotten himself the old Cuz 2 for 1!

[Cornuck]

Seems Douglas could still suit up tonight (according to CA).

Also:

“It’s pretty simple for me,” he explained. “It’s getting in on the forecheck and making sure guys on the other team going back for the puck are going to pay a price. And just bringing that toughness and some passion and hopefully the fans will like that, too. As a new guy coming into the league, obviously it’s your dream to play in the NHL, so I’ll do whatever I can to stay and whatever I can to contribute and be an asset to the Canucks. So whatever they need me to do, I’m here for it.”

Did he just offer to snuff out the entire Aqualina family? I just watched The Departed, so I may not be reading the situation correctly.
