CANUCKS (2-1-0) @ Flames (2-0-1)

6:00 p.m. PT; SNP

It's another Nucking pre-game of the preseason! If last night's game was any indication of the roster progression, we're in trouble and Taco has already lost the room.

This fledgling stale cross Rockies border rivalry is about as riveting as a soggy day in Cowtown. If it feels like we've seen this before, never trust your feelings... or my feelings... or whatever.

With so much hand-wringing and nay-saying after last night's zero-interest game, we can hope the Nucks motivate themselves to at least get engaged before the 3rd. Taco did mention that some guys were tired after the long bus trip to SeaTown. WTH?! They've played 3 preseason games and hockey fatigue is setting in already. Know what that feels like.

Projected Rosters

Nucks:

Forwards

Don't Know, don't care. Better have JT with DeBrusk/Sprong, each scoring 5 goals and all of them the GWG.

Big D: Again don't know... but better be better than last night's AHL(ish) crew, other than Myers.

Goalies: Jiří Patera? Nikita Tolopilo? Arturs? Don't know.

Flames:

F: Backlund, Coleman, Coronato, Kadri, Kuzmenko, Sharangovich, Zary, Huberdeau, Lomberg, Mantha, Pospisil

D: Weegar, Andersson, Bahl, Bean

Being another exciting preseason display, not many will be watching big screen hockey in a saggy saddle rink.

Game Day 'Battle' Hymn

The Nucks/Flames rivalry goes back a long time... and again we can go back to that 70s funky feeling.

Go Coconuts!
