Carol Schram: Horvat out, Gaunce recalled as Sidney Crosby aims for milestone vs. Canucks Bo Horvat is sidelined with a deep bruise to his foot, Brandon Sutter is a game-time decision and Brendan Gaunce has been recalled as the Vancouver Canucks prepare to visit Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday at PPG Paints Arena.

Thank You Carol,

Is it wrong for me to feel like the game is a complete write off, given it's against the Pens and Horvat is out? Does this make me a bad fan, or a realistic one?

This game is a showcase for Hansen to Pens management.
I hope he has a good game.

@ Codes

An uphill climb for sure, especially if Sutter is out as well...

The Flames felt bad for you guys so we tanked our game last night to help the Canucks out...

Oh Gawd I know right?!

Flippin' Wideman turns the puck over at least 6 times a game, and what do they do?! Give him even more bloody ice time...

Johnny's known to party pretty hard on his long stretches off. Sounds like there's more too it than one turnover...

Very curious who steps up tonight to take Bo's Minutes.

Also if the "Burrows-Eastern-Road-Trip-Look-At-Me-Tour 2017" will continue. Hope so... he needs the marketing to promote himself into a 2nd rounder

I'm kinda with you on that. It really shows how important Horvat has become that we don't feel like we have a shot at winning games without him

I would imagine the extra minutes would go to Hansen and Granlund is Willie is true to form

Johnny Hockey on the 4h line is a sign of the apocalypse! Are the other four players on the ice Horsemen?

2nd rounders pretty wishful thinking as I'm sure you know. He'd better play his friggin' ass off to get that kind of return. 3rd and a 6th maybe?...

When does writing "Thank You Carol" everyday begin to constitute as flirting?

With Horvat out and possibly short forwards, do we still complain about deployment and icetime?

I think we give WD props if we escape with less then a 3 goal deficit.

It's not wrong. We are going to get destroyed

Well we have a Wideman. He may as well be Pestilence. Whenever he's on the ice.

Chaisson can be Death, because he kills any chance for points for whatever line he plays on.

Tkachuck is War obviously. Pretty self explanatory.

Who's the fourth horseman again?! (frank) it, we'll just make him Bennett.

How's that?!
