Game Preview / Gamethread #22: Canucks vs Sabres

November 29, 2024
- Westy

CANUCKS (11-7-3) at SABRES (11-10-1)

3 p.m. ET; MSG-B, SNP

The last game in Pittsburgh was a hard one to watch....especially in the first period. This team has been very good on the road but it seemed that they woke up and thought they were playing a home game. While Petey's line continues to produce, it seems that the next two lines are struggling to gel. It is noticeable how much Brock misses JT. Losing Hronek is another blow to this team ever having its starting lineup. If you look below, you will see that the NHL has Filip starting today...so the internet is sending me mixed signals.

With the 2 games in hand, the Canucks continue to be in the thick of the division....just hanging around. Bettman is sitting in his cave smiling at the parity he loves so much.

COMMENTS

Comment System How-To

New NM, new comment system. Still uses words and stuff. Hover over the icons to see what they do. 

The most vital function is image embedding. Paste the link to the image in the comment box. When the comment is posted, the image appears. Most of  the time. 

NOTE: Remove the non-image name jibberish. If the image link has any stuff after the file extension - usually a ? with directives like: woo.gif?size=480 blah blah - delete up to and including the ? - simples.

GIF it up for Westy! Or still life in rum.
NOTE: Comments refresh every 30 seconds. Not fast enough for most of our lightening round contestants. We are working to increase the refresh speed. Just... not working too hard... because NM labour guidelines. Thanks for being patient!
