Game Preview / Gamethread #5: Canucks vs Flyers

October 19, 2024
- Westy

CANUCKS (1-1-2) at FLYERS (1-2-1)

7 p.m. ET; NBCSP, SNP

Coming off a victory against the Stanley Cup Champs on the road, can the Canucks get some momentum going against a Flyers team that has only beaten the Canucks this year?

What else can be said about J.T. Miller? He is the anger thermometer of this team. He is the guy that could make 5 giveaways in a game and still end up winning it. He is the guy that will tell the other guys to get off their ass and play better. He is the guy who's contract we all now love. Noe can he please lead this team to a victory over a Philly team that is average at best, but he found a way to beat the Nucks way too often.

Status report

Joshua practiced for the first time since the forward had offseason surgery as part of his treatment for testicular cancer; there is no timetable for his return to the lineup, coach Rick Tocchet said. ... Lankinen will start for the second straight game; the last time he started consecutive NHL games was April 25-27, 2022, with the Chicago Blackhawks. ... Forbort remains away from the Canucks for personal reasons; Tocchet said he did not have an update on when the defenseman could rejoin the team but was planning on speaking to him Saturday. ... Demko watched the Canucks morning skate from the bench; the goalie has been skating recently on his own but Tocchet said there is no timetable for his return. ... The Flyers did not hold a morning skate Saturday. ... Seeler, who has not played because of a nerve issue in his right leg sustained during a preseason game Oct. 1, skated on his own before a 6-4 loss at the Seattle Kraken on Thursday and is day to day; if the defenseman plays, it's likely he would replace Johnson in the lineup.

Game Day Chatter

People on Twitter want others to lay off Petey....Sportsnet doubled-down the other way.

Game Day Battle Hymn

I am wondering if this song is used by any team...in any league as the song players come out to. Because the opening 30 seconds would be worth it, just to get the fans going. Did you know that Sloan has been together since 1992....holy shit we are all old. I hope Sloan brings the Nucks a win in the Giraffe's 1000th game.

Go Canucks Go!

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!
