GAME #4 - Canucks @ Ducks: Predux - Jan 25 - 7:00PM PST - SPAC
 

I'm sure AV will do the right thing and start Schneider on Friday, right?

...Right?

I'm also worried about a surprise return from Andrew Ebbett.

Yaaaay, happy birfday Baby Berty.

I'm afraid that dumb penalty probably sealed Schroeder's fate, knowing AV.

Schroeder will get his first NHL goal........

Yeah cause it's not like AV played Schroeder in the last two minutes and OT... o wait.

Schroeder got 15 minutes today.

I think AV has faith in him.

Av also spoke quite highly of Schroeder post game.

I hope the Kassian train continues on its path of death and destruction.

The next three games could be interesting for Kass. On the road in 3 tough buildings vs big teams.

Just speaking from experience.

I hope he goes back to Luongo. I'd like to see both starters get warmed up for the season.

What experiences would those be?

Happy Birthday, Kassassin!

Looking for a revenge game and a win!

:biglaugh:

Happy Birthday Zack! Play Schneider again, he's the teams starting goalie and he just played a hell of a game.

Not in this game.

It's been pretty clear from camp to now that AV and MG have liked Schroeder over Ebbett. The only reason Schroeder was re-assigned and then recalled was due to waiver eligibility.

Schroeder will be in the lineup tomorrow night, and deservedly so. Hopefully he can build on his solid debut.

I would also bet Schneider gets the start. If I had to guess this weekend, I would say: Schneider tomorrow, Luongo on Sunday, Schneider on Monday.

Oh great, Kassian just got a year older.

That window just keeps getting smaller and smaller.....

:biglaugh:

First road trip of the season will hopefully help the team focus on the basics. I feel like a few of the guys are squeezing their sticks a bit in trying to shake off the rust.

Would be nice to get a measure of retribution against Anaheim for Game 1, though. And for God's sake - someone keep an eye on Selanne (and Winnik, I suppose)

He only grew a day older from yesterday. The number is just rolling the counter over. :)

Canucks 4-2

DSedin
Bieksa
Higgins
Burrows

Kassian with one assist, 2 hits
Schroeder with his first NHL goal
Raymond with his second goal
Daniel with the first goal of the game

3-1 Good guys

We should trade Kassian while we still can. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like age has cost him a step.

Maybe Bozak is still available.

Some career numbers vs. Anaheim...

Jannik Hansen - 15GP, 3G, 8A, 11Pts
Daniel Sedin - 43GP, 16G, 21A, 37Pts
Henrik Sedin - 45GP, 7G, 26A, 33Pts

Of course, none of that is as frightening as Selanne's numbers against the Canucks.

Teemu Selanne - 73GP, 40G, 48A, 88Pts

Looks like duck is on the menu boys.

Yee haw, lets get this done.
