I agree, the boring tight checking games will win you Cups but rarely entertain -- I prefer a Stanley CUP!!!

Should be a good one, the Sedins need to step it up though. We need them scoring if we're gonna have a chance in the post season! Since the All-Star break they've put up minimal pts.

Don't follow Buffalo, so I'm not sure what style of play they prefer? If they play a trap game like St. Louis this could be another snoozer!

The team should be rested after the day off so expect a fast Sabres squad which should make for a fun game. Of course going toe to toe with a skilled team like the Canucks isn't always the best approach.

Lindy expects his D to jump into the rush often so you can expect a lot of back n' forth IMO. No trapping either.

I have a firm belief that Buffalo fans are by far the best in the league. They are as classy as they come! Vancouvers big run last year left me and most of the true Canucks fans hating the bandwagon fans in this city and eventually the rioters. I would kill for more fans in Vancouver like the incredible buffalo fans I've talked to over the years. They're educated, level headed, and for the most part unbiased. When we traded CoHo away I was broken hearted, but I'm glad he went to an organization as great as Buffalo. I know that the fans will take care of our favorite son. I'm looking forward to a great game tonight. I'll be standing when CoHo hits the ice, and if he scores, I'll cheer. Great kid!

Nice to read (reed for the clown ) You guys have been pretty good the past week in posts regarding the equality of the trade our teams made. Lets have a great game tonight

It was a nice gesture though by Bxsa .I am too very thankful for the people who put their life on the line.

Playoff mode .Tight checking and smart hockey.
- VANTEL

Honestly in the playoffs I Would rather face Chicago, Detroit and San Jose because those teams play hockey the right way. Rather then then St Luis, Phoenix and Nashville.


It's comforting to see that the Canucks can win playing both styles, not many teams can say that.

very classy ian!!

most objective assessment of this trade ive read all week.

cant stand those who bashed these kids on their way out of town a day after singing their praises...

It blows my mind how a team that is in 12 th spot that hasn't made the playoffs in almost a decade can grab the headlines of every sports site and sports station accross the country.Are Canadians that desperate or that stupid? Out here we could give a sh!t about them and yet everywhere we turn it is Leaf news.

We have two hot teams with a huge trade 5 days ago playing tonight but we get to look at Wilsons and Carlyle's ugly fat face everywhere. When will people realize and stopforce feeding this crap.

I agree. Although the constant reminders of their stetch-run choke are always welcome.
