Carol Schram: Streaking Canucks and Lightning clash as Vancouver opens 5-game road trip The Vancouver Canucks will try to tie their franchise's second longest winning streak at eight games as they face off against another team on a seven-game winning streak, the Tampa Bay Lightning. Tuesday's game marks the beginning of a five-game road trip for Vancouver, and a return to Tampa for forward J.T. Miller.

Big test for the Nucks, doesn’t usually favor a West Coast team getting into a nice warm climate like Tampa, surviving the first period could be key for our boys.

“Miller's success rate is second in the entire league at 60.5 percent, only behind Claude Giroux (61.2 percent).”


Thanks Carol for always including a little Flyersbuzz in the blogs, I know you love them too....Flyers

Go canucks!

It was lonely on the old thread...

2 things...

Curious how we match up now that we are faster & starting to gel as a team.
I think the road game will be a fresh change fur the boyz

Totally outta left field...

Would JV be a good option to shadow MacKinnon? I see his speed & size an asset.

Thanks Carol

5-3 Canucks

As much as I don't like the Flyers, I have to say with all the talk going around of "players of the decade" Giroux makes my top 10.

I think we've taken 3 of the last 4 in Tampa? Anyways let's say TBAY in OT (Kucherov) and the Nucks grind out the Bettman single point.

His numbers are crazy good. Right up there with Kane Crosby and OV over the past decade.

Extremely consistent, regardless of the quality of the team around him.

Sure, if he's not injured come March give it a try.

For a guys who’s not the greatest skater he’s been so consistently good, I think he’s 4th all-time in Flyers points.

WTF

Some things are best left unanswered.

Would it be safe to say that this trade has worked out pretty well for the Canucks? Most folks seem happy with Miller's production. I liked him when he was here and always figured he might be capable of more points if he got more ice time. That seems to be bearing out. Good for him. I wish him luck. Seems like a great guy in the room and on the ice. I just hope he gets skunked tonight for selfish reasons.

Usually, I would hazard a prediction, but Vasilevskiy has been a coin-flip so far this season. I have no idea which Vasi we will see. Vezina Vasi or Floppy the Net Clown.

Miller has been our MVP. You can make a case for markstrom but Miller has been driving our forwards. Huge on the PP as well. Did not expect him to be such an effective playmaker
