Carol Schram: Mike Gillis & Francesco Aquilini on the air as Canucks face the Lightning Tyler Motte will get a shot on the Vancouver Canucks' top line in Tampa Bay on Thursday, but the latest buzz revolves around former general manager Mike Gillis' lengthy radio interview on Wednesday and Francesco Aquilini's return of serve on Thursday morning.

thanks Carol.


I have an idea. Let's try to score first.

Thanks Carol

5-1 TB

Petterson with an Assist on Horvats goal.
Brock -3
Nilsson lets in 2 weak ones
Gudbranson ices the puck no less than 5 times in one period

Thanks Carol, 1-0 Canucks. Baertschi unassisted in the PP, the streak ends tonight.

In keeping with the positive predictions.

This will be the first game we lose a D-man to a mid to long-term injury.

Calling Edler, Tanev or (fingers crossed) Guddy.

Well done Carol.

7-4 Bolts.

Nilsson good for 4 Marky can take on the other 3.

Gonna be a rough one but hopefully Boeser scores.

too much optimism in here, this early into the blog. Whose feelings are we protecting?

Well after the big Mike Gillis interview and the love-in that followed in here I'd say we are protecting Gillis' feelings no?

Why would you predict an injury and be happy about it? I don't see a winky so not sarcasm. dumb

I know this is jokes, but I legitimately don't think I have ever seen an unassisted PP goal

That's all predicated on us giving a (frank) about Gillis. Seems unlikely.

Don't think it's crazy uncommon: mostly off a broken play after the PK just turned it over.

4-2 L tonight for the Canucks. Boeser with a PP mark, Edler from EP and Eriksson for the all-Swede tally.

He strips the puck from Headman at the blue line and comes in on a breakaway.

If he gets us another Hughes, it will have been the best investment by Benning.

5-1 Tampa.

3-2 OT

Thanks Carol.

Finally its game day. I can't believe we've only played one game up until this point

Too bad they’ll be 1-1 after today

yeah, that's pretty bizarre, a lot of teams have already played 3 and a group have played 4 lol.

Not like Tampa was over in Europe for the opener either
