It’s a good question.
I’d wager a guess that he’s healthy and wants to play. Maybe get that PP going with Pettersson?
I dunno.

Bummer.
Looks like it's the Allman Bros. for the rest of the day.

There’s still risk of injury in a meaningless game. Your density is impressive

There's risk of injury for sure, but he still needs time in between the pipes to stay sharp. Being a goalie requires mental toughness as well as physical. Playing tonight as mentioned is good for him to keep a routine leading up to the playoffs.

Surprised your shithole country has enough internet bandwidth for you to find this out, but thanks for posting it

Think Hughes will top out at 15 minutes. Wonder if Winnipeg will be sitting players too. Guessing it will feel more like preseason than playoffs tonight.

I don’t hate it, but myself wouldn’t risk it as he’s too important.

We have a shot vs the Preds. If we drew LA we'd be toast first round.
- LordHumungous

I thought the Canucks were playing the Preds and the Oilers get Vegas or LA?

Sunday. Go Rockets!

Ya just looked it up:

Sitting out will be stars Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and Josh Morrissey, captain Adam Lowry, forward Vlad Namestnikov and defenceman Brenden Dillon.

...

“Some of those guys, we asked them, do you want to play? And they said definitely,” Bowness said. “Then some of the other guys didn’t want to play. So if they don’t want to play, there’s no sense putting them in because it’s not going to work, they’re not going to be engaged in the game. And I know we’re walking a fine line because we want the two points, we want to take a run at the Jennings. But the bigger picture is what do we have to do to get ready for the playoffs?

“Don’t forget, some of these guys are banged up a little bit. It gives them an extra day or two to get ready for the playoffs.”

...

The Canucks, who have 109 points, one more than the Jets, are taking a similar approach, leading scorer J.T. Miller, top goal scorer Brock Boeser and defencemen Filip Hronek among their scratches.

The matchup in goal pits Winnipeg backup Laurent Brossoit against Canucks No. 1 Thatcher Demko.

The other risk is that he comes out flat in the playoffs. Also, he can always get injured then.

I’ve actually been in BC with all the liberals and drug addicts for the past year.
It’s been an amazing working holiday.
We’re due to head back to NZ in July.

Yeah. Not expecting much from the game.
Hopefully Hoglander hits 25.

Thanks - common sense really

You'd have to be pretty dense not to consider those possibilities.

Nashville Predators ban ticket sales to Canucks fans for the playoffs. Ticket sales restricted to Predators viewing area based on your credit card billing address.
Guess Canuck fans can get a little obnoxious at times.
How do the Canucks respond?
Who’s heading to Nashville for the playoffs? Better bring cash.

A friend of mine is going to be down there for a bachelor party. They were planning on attending game 6 if it was required.
