    Canucks vs Flames pregame: No, really

    Happy hockey day in Canada, fellow fans of Canadian hockey.

    It is we, RMNB, known Canucks bloggers, here to blog about the Canucks.

    Tonight, the Canucks, who are our team, host the Flames, who — boo on them. The game is at 7 PM, unless you’re weirdo on the east coast, in which case it’s on at 10 PM. Peter has recap duty. Let’s see how far he takes this bit.

    Record 6-5-1 6-11-0
    Shot Attempt % 52.7% 46.9%
    PDO 102.1 98.5
    Power Play 23.1% 16.1%
    Penalty Kill 80.4% 81.4%

    Projected Lines

    As always, from the great Farhan Lalji:

    Miller – Pettersson – Boeser
    Hoglander – Horvat – Pearson
    Roussel – Sutter – Gaudette
    Eriksson – Beagle – Virtanen

    Hughes – Benn
    Edler – Schmidt
    Juolevi – Myers

    Demko

    Fun Facts on that Fourth Line

    Loui Eriksson makes $6,000,000.

    Jay Beagle makes $3,000,000.

    Jake Virtanen makes $2,550,000.

    That’s a fourth line worth eleven and a half million dollars against the salary cap. For comparison, the Washington Capitals, whom some people call “Canucks East”, have a nominal fourth line worth five million, and that’s a bit much because of Carl Hagelin.

    Storylines

    • Fan fave Couv defender Jay Beagle hit 600 games the other day.
    • That’s it. Not a ton of Couv news (hashtag #couvnews) until they fire Jim Benning in a week or two.
    • Meanwhile, back east, defender Justin Schultz will return on Sunday.
    • Kuznetsov vs afternooners
    • Connor McMichael scored his first AHL goal— a game-winner for the Hershey Bears, an affiliate of the Capitals in Pennsylvania, USA.

    Why

    An announcement: I have decided to officially adopt the Canucks. For everyone who wanted me to adopt the Flames or any other non-terrible team, you wasted your time and mine.
