Same line up as last night?

4 - 2, someone.

All I can say is the Knights had better keep their heads up.

Think this is the last home game before a tough 6 game road trip. I could be on deck here for quite a while.

Zeev with a goal and a helper..

The Canucks’ first two wins have been directly related to an awesome Elias Pettersson hit.

7-5 Canucks
10 Pettersson hits (combined)

Lol...a conflicted rats and his new gig.

It will be interesting to see how we react to a 'real' team tonight. (edm didn't count due to goaltending, as usual).

Lots of positives* from the squad already:

Sticking up for each other
Playing 60 minutes
Protecting the goalie
Ability to score
EP40 looking engaged
Schenn

So far, I'm liking the composition of this team, and there should be enough fight in them to make most nights entertaining (although I did switch off midway through the 2nd edm game, but went back to see our new goalie).

*small sample size

Having Tankinen in tonight will get your streak going!

Hmmmm. Playing 60 minutes?? Everything else agree with but not that one. If they were playing 60 minutes they would be 3-0 without the worst GA in the league.

As for tonights game, yep, a test against a contender.

I wonder what happened to him. He was phenomenal his first year

Even blind squirrels find nuts.

Outside of the one year of success in Vancouver (25-15-10 2.62 GAA .902 save %) after which JR gifted him the 5 years total value 22.5 million for no reason I can decipher, his career GAA is 3.18, his W/L record 56 - 70 - 10 and his save % .8998 (based on years played not 82 games...and not including this years stats which are horrific)...

....so one year anomaly otherwise a career back up at best.

Once again keeping DeSmith and mentoring Silovs was the far better choice and was also readily apparent to all excepting those fucking guys.

Yeah - I might have had my rose-coloured glasses on for that one... but while they've had a couple of bad periods, I didn't see the complete "I give up" from the last year or two.

Would agree. The effort has been there, even if the execution was off.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back...
