Once more into the breach.. er... the ROG.

RED WINGS (3-3-3) at CANUCKS (2-8-1)

10 p.m. ET; SNE, SNO, SNP, DSN

Wasn't Tuesday's game amazing? Other than the outcome.

We're not here for outcomes. We're here for the process.

Rebuild Rules state: A rebuild can be a long, long process. A process so long that outcomes seem far away. And are.

However, this game could be the one where the Nucks break their 'Process' streak and deliver an outcome - while not important - could lighten the mood before the process gets nasty and bitter on the weekend.

At least we're only in Season 1 of the Great Nucks Rebuild. Unlike the Wings... Season 10 for them without a playoff appearance. What a process! Especially if you get it wrong.

Status report

The Red Wings held an optional morning skate. ... Compher is expected to return after missing seven games with an undisclosed injury. … Postava was recalled from Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League on Thursday after Tarasov, a goalie, “tweaked something in practice” on Wednesday, said coach Todd McLellan, who added, “Just as a precaution, we don't think it's serious, but Pastava will back up.” … Rossi will return after missing two games with an illness. … Ohgren, a forward, appears to be a healthy scratch for the first time this season based on the Canucks optional morning skate. … Mancini will replace Schenn, a defenseman.

GAME DAY CHATTER

Sassy's goal taken away, but Bains 'the netcrasher' gets one.

Winning?! So soon?

GAME DAY BATTLE HYMN

Someday we will look back at this era of process and recall fondly how we wished it was shorter.

Go Canucks Go.
