Game Preview / Gamethread #8: Canucks vs Hurricanes

October 28, 2024
- Westy

HURRICANES (5-2-0) at CANUCKS (4-1-2)

10 p.m. ET; SNP, FDSNSO

The Canucks extended their won streak to four games, after hitting the magic button in the 2nd period to score 4 goals against Pittsburgh and hold on for a 4-3 win. I think we could all feel the change in air pressure when Petey scored his 1st of the year. Everyone exhaled at the same time. Arshdeep Bains finally got on the scoresheet and won himself one day of reprieve on Twitter. Kiefer Sherwood continued his role as "New AMFB", as her scored and drove the Pens crazy.

Tonight the Nucks play a team in the Canes, that won't have a 15 minute collapse. The Canes are 5-2 so far and have their own 3 game win streak as they end their west coast swing. The Canes are top 10 in both special teams and more impressive is that they have a plus 10 shot differential. The Canes don't like to let go of the puck. The Nucks are going to need all four lines to get the puck through the neutral zone against this team.

Status report

Andersen, a goalie who had been alternating starts with Kochetkov, is day to day after making 18 saves in a 4-1 win at the Seattle Kraken on Saturday. Andersen finished the game but “came up a little gimpy after,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. … Martin was recalled from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Monday and is expected to dress as the backup but hadn’t arrived in time for the morning skate. … Canucks coach Rick Tocchet said he is considering a change on defense but did not indicate who might come out. He did say Forbort, a defenseman who rejoined the team at morning skate Monday after missing four games due to the death of his father, will not play. “He needs some time,” Tocchet said.

GAME DAY CHATTER

GAME DAY BATTLE HYMN

I don't the musical knowledge of Kent. I usually go with songs that I like....seems like a good formula so far. I could see a younger version of myself listening to this and feeling the build up and getting pumped up. Now did the younger version of me listen to the lyrics....no. Is there a lesson there....probably.

Go Canucks Go...make it 5 in a row

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!
