Carol Schram: Nilsson gets the nod in Nashville, Colton Saucerman is a sensation in Utica The Vancouver Canucks will turn to Anders Nilsson in net as they look to stretch their winning streak to a season-high four games on Thursday night in Nashville. Meanwhile, PTO defenseman Colton Saucerman captured the imagination of the hockey world with his first career AHL goal as the Utica Comets beat the Providence Bruins on Wednesday.

Palmu never impressed me from the onset of camp.

Mike Bossy had 9 consecutive 50 goal seasons, he only played 10 years.

In any era...that's unreal.

7-2 Preds.

Thanks Carol.

4-3 Canucks.

Saucerman is quite the hockey name. May as well be named Shootsalot

If he played the same amount of games Gretz did (1487) and kept up his goals per game average of 0.762, Bossy could have scored over 1100 goals.

Trent Cull to Palmu this morning:

Thanks Carol

Thanks Carol!

Love the U25 top6 Green keeps fielding, win or lose were winning IMO

Ovechkin>Bossy. Era matters, he was scoring on pylons.

No way we pull one over on Nashville twice, they're coming in ready.

Palmu's always going to be a major longshot.

Tomato soup and 4 grilled cheese sandwiches for supper tonight. If the Canucks score 4 goals tonight and win. It might be the next "pizza"

6th round pick and a smaller guy. I just wonder why they did it again with Manuyuakantukin. Why below 5'9" there is like 2 decent players below that in the nhl.

I forgot who said it but they said that "if you weren't 6' or taller you didn't stand a chance of being a first round pick"

The league hasn't gone from 6' or taller to 5'6. 5'10" is now probably more normal and anyone smaller would probably be pretty elite.

Lefty is probably 8 inches taller than me. Probably 100 lbs at least too.

For sure. But in the next draft there's about 8 guys 5'9-5'10 going in the first round. I'm not sure that's ever happened but as the league goes toward more skill and speed it's a trend is all I'm pointing out.

low center of gravity bud, just bait him with a couple hotdogs and then shoot for the takedown.

Maybe 4? I'm unsure if Caufield has it in him. I have to wonder about Honka considering his brother sucks still.
