  1. Exactly, expected performance by key players and some tweaks to the line up and we have a totally different situation.
  2. Bottom line is, in my opinion, this team has to focus on a better start to the season next year, from day 1 of training camp. A good start and things will fall into place, because the talent is there. With a good start, the confidence will grow instead of the fear of failure that we see now. I think this year will serve as a lesson for next year.
  3. Is that enough? it's necessary of course, but is it enough? We all know the answer to that. I would say you could ask anyone from Toronto about that!
  4. 2 points: 1- Don't feel bad for Markstrom, this will make him a very rich man, he will be the highest paid Canuck next year 2- What do you think were management's expectations given they protected their first round pick this year in the Miller trade? Why do fans have higher expectations than management who put the team together?
  5. Do you mean the Leivo who scored one of the two goals and was named the game's second star?
  6. What do you mean by "for real"? Are we better than LA or Detroit? Absolutely. Are we a play-off team? Not many picked the Canucks, besides their fans, to make the top 8 this year. I mean even JB wanted protection for missing the play-offs in the Miller trade, tells you what his confidence level was for this year. It takes time. So if you mean a contender by "real" then you are asking the team to prove something they can't prove.
  7. Exactly, its tough to go to bed around 4AM and play the next evening. This game was close until late (and tied if Horvat scores from in close) and that is quite the accomplishment given the circumstances. You try to win some of those games but you can't be too upset if you lose them.
  8. Way better than the record shows. We are victimized by the injuries and the crappy schedule. Winnipeg was sitting at home waiting for us to fly in late last night after a tough game in Chicago. That is brutal.
  9. Do you even remember where you stored it 4 years ago?
  10. Everyone knows that the games do not matter until April. That is what teams are judged by, and only that. Anyone cares that St Louis was in last place overall in early January? Anyone cares that Tampa Bay finished first? Did Calgary have a good season last year, or how about Colorado?
  11. Exactly. My guess is that he will be in Sweden for the next two years for starters.
  12. Give it 5 years at least, probably 7. It's like Virtanen, it's still way to early to know if it was a good or a bad pick as he still needs 3-4 more years of development.
