Carol Schram: Richard Bachman to make his 1st start of the year as Canucks visit the Wild After nine straight starts for Jacob Markstrom, Travis Green is tapping Richard Bachman as his starter as the Vancouver Canucks try to finish their latest road trip at .500 with a win over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.

Thanks Carol.

Marky gets the night off? You think Green would have done that for the Rangers game. He probably is doing the same thing AV did with Luongo... leave it up to the Goalie who's going to say "he's good to go" up until he gets injured.

Thanks Carol.

Agree Booner, the Rangers game would have been the best spot to stick Bachsey in. F’ing NHL coaches have no idea how to manage a roster


Edit - guess I should have said AHL coaches...

Bolts starter out long term, maybe one of the Canucks Swedes could help them through...

Thanks Carol.
I believe Markstrom is injured and is trying to hold off until Nilsson is ready to go, before he takes his yearly turn on IR

He is so good, he can play all positions and play them well.

Just picked up Bachman as my tendy for tonight on my Fantasy team.

Hopefully he gets the W, and preferably a Shutout as well

Probably not a smart move given the way this team bleeds goals.

Meh, every other goalie has been taken so I was forced to. And goalie points are huge in my league.

5 points for a W and another 5 for a shutout

If you were in a AHL fantasy league, I'd say good grab.

Sounds like Nilsson is backing up Bachman tonight, according to an article at nucks mis onduct

I can't say it's the best pickup but in hockey anything is possible. So if he gets the win and I get 5 points from it im happy. If not, then whatever it's no big deal!

5-1 Minny. Bachman is BRUTAL

Sounds like markstrom has a minor injury that they don't want to make more serious

Why else would you opt to play a replacement whose sv% is like .845?

5-4 Canucks....Wild are ahead in the later part of the 3rd then Bachman does a Turner and puts it into Overdrive

Brendan Bachelor was reporting from the morning skate that there was serious speculation that Markstrom was injured. Sounds like he hurt his hand (didn't hear which one) during the Islanders game.

Not really as most are on the lose for Hughes campaign. I'd rather we just moved up 5 spots in the standings and show steady improvement but hey...the draft choice would be nice too.
