Carol Schram: Nikolay Goldobin returns, Vancouver Canucks continue road trip in St. Louis Nikolay Goldobin returns after a nasty bout with the flu, while Jayson Megna and Joseph Cramarossa will be sidelined with new injuries as the Vancouver Canucks look to build off a win against the Chicago Blackhawks when they visit St. Louis to take on the Blues on Thursday.

No thanks, Carol.

Thanks Carol!

That line up... just really really tough to look at

Thanks Carol.

Look at that roster, wow...

Guessing this is what the infamous 'stealth tank' looks like?
On a positive note, here's to hoping Goldy's play-making skills can complement Sutter's shot and net presence.

Thanks Carol!

Good to see Marky getting some time in net...

Baertschi-Horvat-Boucher

Roller coaster of emotions I see. Don't worry this lineup will help in the long run.

Thanks Carol. Why couldn't anyone have fed Megna Oysters instead of Granlund and Goldy? Rather have had them play all that time instead of WD's chia pet.

Don't get the comments NOW on line up. It actually looks better then the one that beat the Hawks

I actually would like to see Guds suit up for a couple games at season's end.

It's true.
I respect the idea of not pulling too many from Utica, but that lineup is

👍

That would be great to see EG in a few games

I understand its purpose for the long term, I just didnt expect to see such a sad excuse of an NHL lineup be dressed by the Canucks. It happening only 5ish years after a SCF run makes it even more strange. Its necessary, but that doesnt make it any less painful to see

We could almost ice a lineup with our injured players.

Rodin/Granlund/Erikson
Gudbranson/Biega*
Markstrom

Extra: Dorsett, Megna, Cramarossa,

plus the loss of Burrows for a prospect...and also the need to shut down Sutter, Tanev and probably Edler (b/c when is he not injured).

10 games to go.
Then it's the summer of the long knives.

The canucks should have started the season with a similar roster. Could have saved a lot of emotional currency for a few on here.

Right. Plus who knew that Megna would be so missed. Finally after all this time being out of the line up would elicit these negative comments. They want the same line up that beat the Hawks?!?

Guess there is no hope for Goldy love now.

So why the whining over the line up now over what was iced against the Hawks?!?

Even if he makes sense just ignore this crap.

Idc to join the player bashers. Its like a pile of old ladies carrying on 😂😂

Consolidated draft rankings:
https://canucksarmy.com/2...ted-draft-rankings-march/

1. Patrick.
2. Hisch
3. Vilardi.
4. Liljegrin.
5. Mittelstadt.

Of interest to some here, they got Necas at 8, Makar at 9 and Foote at 18.

Anyone have a read on Vilardi, as frankly, I don't get his high ranking.
His stats for a top 3 pick coming out of the OHL don't seem to warrant the position while his highlights are even more alarming.

His skating looks below average and most of his goals appear to come from banging the puck into the net from the crease...

Vilardi has had a consistent season & his Spitfires r hosting the Memorial Cup.
Has an all around game but skating is a knock somewhat.

I have it as....

Patrick
Hischier
Mittelstadt
Necas
Vilardi
Makar
Tippett
Liljgren
Glass

I was going through the injury reports on Nolan Patrick. Is the groin injury reoccurring? It looks like the shoulder was. I think the groin was injured, didn't recover like they wanted and he went for surgery. One injury.
