L-GDT: Canucks at Minny - 4pm Nov 1, 25 - SN360, ESPN+

[Cornuck]

2nd of 3 on a short road trip. Despite all of the injuries and setbacks, we're still a .500 club (with more wins than the oilers and leaves).

Tonight we face the struggling wild and "Hockey's Highest Paid Player"™. Brock could be back, maybe not at 100%, but with this lineup, that's a big plus. If we can win winnable games like tonight, there's still hope for the season.

For those keeping score:

Quinn Hughes...D...Nov 1...Day-To-Day
Brock Boeser...RW...Nov 1...Day-To-Day
Conor Garland...RW...Nov 5...Out...Oct 29: Garland (undisclosed) isn't expected to join the Canucks on their upcoming road trip

Gustavsson reportedly on tap to start.

Fresh off signing a new deal he has had a tough start to the season @ 2-6-1, with a 3.37 GAA & a SV% of .892.

Shoot Depuck at this guy.

Make him think.

Status report

Neither team held a morning skate Saturday. ... Boeser is expected to play after leaving in the first period of a 4-3 shootout win at the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, when he was hit by a shot; he practiced Friday. ... Yurov, a forward, will be a healthy scratch after being in the lineup the previous 10 games (like who the fuck cares about Yurov?).

Cornuck is off to quite a hot start.

So I'm sayin' there's a chance

[JelloPuddingPop]

So many guys driving down the boards in the offensive zone instead of trying to get to the middle.

Going to be another 5 shot a period night by the looks of the first 10 mins.

What's with the orange hats?

[JelloPuddingPop]

Willander can scoot!

[5thhorseman]

Bainished to the penalty box.

Bains is not helping the cause...

[JelloPuddingPop]

What's with the orange hats?

Certain home games they give away Blaze Orange hats. Celebration of hunting maybe?

[Cousin Strawberry]

What's with the orange hats?

That's how many minnesotans have been laid off from their jobs due to Tarriffman making America great again

[5thhorseman]

Get Willander to an acne specialist asap!

Correct JPP.

Blaze orange hats are a promotion for fans that combine hockey fandom with hunting culture...

Orange is the designated hunting safety color in Minnesota.

I wish our team had a Foligno.
