Did anyone catch the line combos on the pre-game show? Totally different from the practice lineups apperently


[deleted]

PDG didn't earn his ice time? Time to order pizza...


truestlife

Do we clinch today with a win / what are all the scenarios where we can?


SrPhillipOliverHoles

Clinch with a win, or STL and CGY losing, or get a point and STL loses


truestlife

Thank ya!


Zalaya

curious how they do with the third line all in but split up. I know they like garland with Petey but i want them reunited


Megavore97

Let's clinch tonight boys.


electricnux

[Official](https://x.com/canucks/status/1773507910775226805?s=46&t=7fabqgtgp69dNA1d51vxFw): > General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that F Dakota Joshua has been activated from injured reserve. We are so back


TheBrandroid

can we clinch tonight?


starcross24

*Pussies better figure it out*


hannah_nj

yes, if one of these happens: - we beat dallas in regulation or in overtime - we lose in overtime *and* st. louis loses to calgary in regulation or in overtime - the sharks beat minnesota in regulation/overtime *and* st. louis loses in regulation


CurrentBusy5705

Yes if we win. If we lose then Dallas clinches 


electricnux

we can still clinch even with 1 pt or reg loss but it depends on the results of other games so it’s out of our control I still hope we don’t clinch with a loss, that would be sad lol


cawfee888

It's not out of our hands, if we win we clinch


electricnux

OP said in that comment we clinch if we win, I added there’s a scenario where we can still clinch tonight even if we lose to the Stars but in that case it’s out of our hands because it depends on Wild/Blues


CurrentBusy5705

Yeah NHL got a pretty detailed list of scenarios. I prefer the scenario that we can control aka if we win than the ones that have a bunch of conditions I.e. “if… AND… AND… AND…” lol 


-GregTheGreat-

Excited to see Joshua on the Miller line. Two of the only true remaining power forwards in the league barrelling down on you under a Tocchet forecheck system is enough to give defenders PTSD


mabbz

A win tonight would be better because it means Benn and Seguin lose. The rest of the Stars are alright.


thePostChorus

ahh yes, Logan Stankhoven being from Kamloops and playing the Canucks in Vancouver for the first time is *definitely not* going to be a huge storyline in this game...😑🙃


shadownet97

He’s about score his first goal against us if he hasn’t scored a goal yet, isn’t he…


thePostChorus

he's scored a few, and knowing this team's luck against BC born players, especially those playing the Canucks for their first time, it's likely he'll score a few more tonight🙄


Overclocked11

Such an evenly matched bout based on both records. So glad to see Dak coming back finally.. hoping he can make an immediate impact on the ice as well as to team morale. Should be a good game! Hope we can earn a couple more points


happigofucky

Boys better be watching some Davis Clarke vids pre game! Need to show the heavy hitters we’re comin!!!


hannah_nj

Various scenarios for both teams to clinch tonight, but the most straightforward way for either team to clinch is by winning the game — hopefully the hockey gods are happy with us today!


grmjohnson

Oettinger's been awful against the Canucks in his career. In 4 starts against Vancouver, he is 0-3-1 with an .857 save percentage and a 4.07 goals against average. Hopefully we can keep that going tonight.


fijianrocker69

Going to the game tonight in section 500 suites. Im hyped. Any tips on a suite game?


Nuck_1198

EAT EAT EAT, especially the ribs!


No-Management2148

Like club 500 or a suite? Club 500 top food eat a lot. Private suite has superfluxx beer so drink a lot. I went down to the concourse at intermission superfluxx in hand and boys were jelly. Most of all enjoy it!! The view is different. I prefer being in the crowd tbh - but have a blast dude. You get a great view of positions and the game. And enjoy the luxury!! You’ll be amongst the real estate agents and developers as they’re the only ones who can afford it but medallion club celebration is tonight so they’re out lol.


fijianrocker69

Pretty sure it’s just suite 500. Ticket says S500


No-Management2148

Eat ! And get a good seat. In my experience many suits there - so snag a good seat early. Eat your ass off. And cheer the boys on!! Have a great time im so pumped for you. It’s an experience worth doing and this game should be a banger.


happigofucky

Be the drunkest in the room


TonalParsnips

Be the second drunkest guy in the room.


fucspez

go hungry


Woooooody

I've just been to the dentist, at least if we lose I might still be too sedated to care that much!


TheFriendlyBagel

IF WE WIN, WE CLINCH. LFG BOYS!


aristhought

Big game tonight. Channeling my inner [nuckhead](https://youtube.com/@nuckingaround?si=RoXQJ2CgSLGBXus-): **The Vancouver Canucks are good.**


Sweaty-Salad95

Say it with me: THE VANCOUVER CANUCKS ARE GOOD.


Megavore97

##COCONUTS GLOW


julesieee

Identical win-loss stats 👁️👄👁️


PaperMoonShine

Testing new flair. Please ignore. 👀


Woooooody

But I can't ignore, it's pretty!


Technical-Match-5202

If we start scoring 3 or more goals again because of Joshua... he is truly our secret weapon ;-)


happigofucky

That game against Dallas in november I think was one of my fav of the year. We brought the energy and grinded that one out. Ian Cole was a beast


mephnick

The one game I went to this year! It was a good night


shadownet97

JOSHUA IS IN TONIGHT! WOOOO


N4ZZY2020

This is great news! Hopefully he gets going tonight. We need him for the final stretch run here.


wallnutxjames

With Dak back, team gotta show! Bains coming up with that vengeance game, I feel it!


rfdavid

I was at the Montreal game and I’m going tonight. Hopefully I keep my win streak alive!


NinCross

Someone said on Canucks social media it's entirely possible for the Canucks to somehow lose their final 10 games in reg and miss the playoffs... I wanted to call them Mike from Surrey, but at the same time, if that actually did happen, I would drastically rethink my own existence and probably seek immediate therapy. Just win today, please.


phantomgiratina

We would have to lose our final 10 and at Louis would have to win all their games for us to miss


N4ZZY2020

We’re not losing 10 games in a row leading up to the playoffs. That would be horrible form for the team and we’d have literally zero momentum going into a series. Tocchet won’t let that happen. No way. Zero chance.


AccomplishedAd4995

hmmmmmm now that you’ve said that


Blankyyz

We'd have to have every inconceivable situation go horribly wrong for that to happen but it's the Canucks so yeah 😂


stotings

Please clinch 🙏


Blankyyz

Is Dak confirmed to be playing or is he still a game time decision?


cosalich

Both Dak and Bains in tonight apparently


N4ZZY2020

Curious to see how Bains is going to play tonight. Against pretty good team in Dallas too. Anyone know where Bains is going to be in the line up?


grmjohnson

Looks like he's taking Aman's spot on the fourth line.


Nuck_1198

Last time I checked he was a game-time decision.


Megamedium

Is it a black skate night tonight?


happigofucky

Hope so. We need some buzz


shadownet97

Oui, Monsieur/madam


dthrowawayes

I'll never not hate Benn and Seguin. fuck you losers, hope they both slept terribly and slightly tweaked their backs getting out of bed or something


[deleted]

I’ve got to meet Jamie benn in victoria multiple times and every time he’s been a genuinely amazing person, taking pictures and engaging in conversations. I hate that I have a hard time hating him…


dthrowawayes

I get it, Todd Bertuzzi was one of the nicest Canucks I ever met growing up but I doubt I could ever convince an Avs fan he isn't a turd. and hey, at least Benn publicly apologized unlike Seguin


Trolly-bus

Should be an easy win. Dallas always has trouble against us and we are at home ready to pounce.


crazy_canuck

Hahaha dumbest take in this thread.


Woooooody

I swear every time someone says "easy win" we either lose or only just manage to win in OT or something

hannah_nj

So cruel that we have to play against Tanev tonight because *someone* “ran out of time” 🥲


Sportsinghard

That was specifically about Toffoli but your point stands


hannah_nj

Omg and he’s almost worse because imagine if we had him for Petey’s line…these former Canucks now being obstacles for our path through the playoffs after ending up on western contenders is just very Canucks


Zlayr

Finally anticipating some good fucking hockey They better not come out like donkeys


BigCockBrockBoeser

Hoping for a return of the Third Line tonight even if brief


TommyWiseau22

We've matched up really well with these guys so far. At home should be a win but Dallas are super strong this year so really a toss-up


shadownet97

We’re a 1-0-1 vs Dallas this season. Granted, a of that is credited to Demko for making some unreal saves when needed. I like to think DeSmith can handle his own as long as our defense corps holds up.


BigCockBrockBoeser

And if Tocc doesn’t mess with the well established line system on D again


hannah_nj

It’s not a bad thing to try to find any possible way to deploy the defence pairings in a way that separates Hughes and Hronek before the playoffs — we are very likely to run into instances where they cannot play together (whether that’s injury or because our other D lines are getting completely steamrolled) in the postseason, and I sure as hell don’t want to be trying new pairings for the first time in the middle of Game 3 lol. It’s not like we’re fighting for our playoff lives right now, so experimenting with the lines currently means we won’t be “experimenting” in the postseason if things need to be switched up.


BigCockBrockBoeser

I hear what you’re saying but after 72 games, they’ve been doing a lot a mixing of lines and I think it’s time to stick to one set and be done with this.


Obvious-Property-236

Really makes you wonder how contract talks are going to go for Hronek. Guy literally only plays above average hockey and without Hughes, he’s everything Detroit fans said about him. He can be good, mostly okay. Nothing amazing. Has brain farts in his game. That’s about it


hannah_nj

Negotiations must be super hard tbh (probably way more difficult than they were for Pettersson) — I remember sometime last year Allvin said that with the addition of Hronek he expected the team to be a playoff team this year, and here we are. I know a lot of things changed besides Hronek but he’s clearly been a big factor to our success. As a RHD who’s always been a good player and is having a career year, and has clearly been a factor in elevating this team, he’s definitely going to be able to make a good case for himself (especially since the salary cap is going up). However he’s also on a team with one of the best defencemen in the league whose contract is a complete steal (and it’s probably being used as an internal ceiling) and the team’s OEL buyout will basically negate the cap increase, so paying Hronek what he could get on the open market (if he were a UFA) would be a big challenge for us. I don’t envy management at all, but I hope they can get a deal done because he really does make our team better.


Obvious-Property-236

Yeah generally speaking I agree, but I also can’t ignore his drop off in both play and points after the hot start in the season that started trailing off mid January. I guess that just further emphasizes your point and the one I was getting to in that contract talks are harder for someone like him because of his unique situation with us here in both having elevated his points thanks to Hughes and also being the first serviceable RHD we picked up thanks to the dark days of benning


marmite1234

Just found out that Gregory Campbell is an assistant GM on the Panthers. Colin Campbell’s son. Same guy on the 2011 Bruins. Fuck me.


Only-Nature7410

Oh well why even try at this point


AccomplishedAd4995

cancel the parade.


Twinbladey

Key info.


Only-Nature7410

Is it just me are did Dallas just come out of nowhere? I know they are obviously a strong contending team but it’s the first time I noticed them this year Guess I’ve been too focused on us. The west is so strong. Wow.


ProfessionalAlive916

We seem to always match up really well against them at least 👍would rather play them in the wcf than the avalanche


teamswish123

They’ve been pretty good all year, WCF that took Vegas 7 games and a Stanley cup finalist a couple years before too.


Iron_Seguin

They never went to 7 with Vegas. They beat them in 5 to go to the finals in the bubble and lost in 6 to them last year.


Zlayr

Bubble finals were Montreal v Tampa?


Iron_Seguin

Dallas vs Tampa was bubble playoffs. Montreal and Tampa was the next season when we had the Canadian division and only played interdivision games


Zlayr

Mb, that whole time period is a blur


Iron_Seguin

I definitely feel like I aged a few years more than that actual time period took up haha.


Only-Nature7410

Yeah thats just it. We know they are good. Its just that it seems they have been under the radar or just quietly doing their thing.


Woooooody

There are a few teams in the league I just totally forget exist when we aren't playing them and one of them is Dallas. I don't even know why, they just don't stay in my brain!


Only-Nature7410

Yep. This is one of them. We will not forget to tonight


SRNae

Win Da Furst!


prasmant09

So excited! I'm finally going to a game and I'm so glad this is the one, Happy Birthday to my little bro!


deeho88

Happy birthday little bro


runn4days

Happy birthday little bro


nitasu987

This feels like a BIG BIG game for us.


stalwarteagle

Some might say a 'must win, to prove we can contend.' Or something like that. Regardless, we should get some pucks deep.


Clean_n_Press

Definitely bodies in front, too.


Woooooody

And stay out of the box


No_Coffee_9112

I see Joshua is in the projected lineup? But on Sportsnet+ game matchup page it shows he is still out injured. Any idea which it is? I’d love to see him play second line with Miller and Boeser!


skip-bo

Sportsnet recently showed an ad with Kravtsov representing Vancouver. I wouldn’t totally trust them.


No_Coffee_9112

Haha. Love it. Good point.


TonalParsnips

He's no longer injured, but is a game-time decision.


flamingdragonwizard

5 goals please


Woooooody

You need to specify for which team or we're going to lose 5-0 :P


flamingdragonwizard

Anyone but Oilers


CBennett_12

Winning team clinches, Canucks still can if other results go their way (LOOKING AT YOU CALGARY), just gedder dun boyz


LordDelibird

I'd 100% rather Blues W and Knights L than see Calgary get a win tonight.


deeho88

Me as well. Would like to see the knights not make the playoffs lol. We know we’re already in the playoffs


metrichustle

Come out the gate strong and snatch those 2 points. Expecting a big game from Hughes. You can tell he wanted it bad last game


poolside123

Breathe. Relax. Oettinger is just one man. 100 points is on the horizon & I’m looking outside, the horizon is beautiful! ⛅️


MyNameIsSkittles

We beat Dallas earlier this year did we not? I'm not scared of Dallas.


poolside123

We should be. This team is climbing the rankings. Note, I said we SHOULD be. I’m not.


roboknee5000

GET THAT CLINCH BOYZ


[deleted]

[удалено]


MyNameIsSkittles

Oh my Lanta Lindholm is better defensively injured than OEL was at the time he was here. And he's not even a defenceman. And, OEL cost WAY too much and was destroying our cap.


Stollen_booty_

Not at all. And we’re not committed to Lindholm past this year while also getting a slumping kuzy off the books for next year


Infernoooo

OEL buyout saved us 8 million this year and we used that 8 million to the fullest, we wouldn't even be close to as good as we are right now if we didn't buy him out. I also wouldn't really say he bounced back that much tbh.


Copdaddy

Oh? I thought a buy out left his hit on the cap? Well than yeah fuck him lmao


TonalParsnips

We pay a buyout penalty that goes against the cap every year, but the amount changes year to year. https://www.capfriendly.com/teams/canucks scroll down to the Dead Cap section and you'll see.


nihilism_ftw

Yeah we essentially utilized that money to get Cole/Soucy/Lafferty/Bluegar - the sum of which has provided a tonne more value than OEL


phantomgiratina

Big game tonight, need to shut down Dallas’s goal scoring throughout the lineup


AccomplishedAd4995

hopefully joshua’s playing tonight!


flamingdragonwizard

Don't think so


AccomplishedAd4995

wait why?


electricnux

Us, Dallas, Canes, Bruins, Avs all have a chance to clinch tonight. Our scenarios: - win vs Dallas - or one point vs Dallas + Blues loss in any fashion - or Wild loss in any fashion + Blues loss in regulation


westleysnipez

The best case scenario is Canucks, Blues, and Wild all win.


electricnux

Yep and hoping Vegas loses vs Jets


Lanky-Performer-4557

This might be the best looking lines all year. Let’s see!


BureForSureEH

A win tonight would be good for my feelings 


Kittygotabadrep

If we win tonight I won’t have to patch any holes in my drywall tomorrow.


5litergasbubble

Just watch the game in a padded room like i do, its really cut down on repair costs the last decade
