CmdrAdama Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Like every year, things look good on paper. Let's see what happens, once the puck drops. There could be a slough of groin issues among the other teams, and the Canucks will be in the thick of things, this whole, short, season. Wait and see!

yellowjack Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lui's Knob you are wrong about a lot of other teams' top 6 lines. Please don't list them unless you are sure about what you are talking about; otherwise you are misinforming others. SJ Marleau - Thornton - Havlat Clowe - Couture - Pavelski Marleau will be playing with Thornton, not centering his own line. EDM Hall - RNH - Eberle Yakupov - Gagner - Hemsky Yakupov is NOT starting on their top line. DET Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Brunner Franzen - Filpula - Bertuzzi Samuelsson may or may not start on the second line, but I have no idea why you stated that Brunner is starting the season on the second line. ANA Ryan - Getzlaf - Perry ? - Koivu - Selanne Not sure if it's Cogliano or Beleskey starting the second line, but it will be Bobby Ryan with the big boys and Koivu centering the second line.

Moonshinefe Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 People might be forgetting Dallas has a bunch of talented forwards this year... the illustrious Jaromir Jagr, Ray Whitney, Jamie Benn (will prob be a break out year soon), Eriksson, Ryder, etc. These aren't light weights. I think I might buy tickets to see Dallas when they come to town this year, they have some cool players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmotamed Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 We don't have a 2nd line, and who knows what is happening in the bottom 6. All we can hope for is our first line to get us through until all the injured players are back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Assuming this will be our top 6, when everyone is healthy, including the other teams. D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows Booth - Kesler - Higgins Ducks: Palmieri - Getzlaf - Perry Ryan - Koivu - Selanne Advantage: Vancouver Flames: Iglinla - Tanguay - Cammalleri Hudler - Cervenka - Glencross Advantage: Vancouver Blackhawks: Hossa - Toews - Stalberg Kane - Shaw - Sharp Advantage: Chicago Avalanches: Downie - Duchene - Landeskog Parenteau - Statsny - Hejduk Advantage: Vancouver BlueJackets: Umberger - Anisimov - Dubinsky Foligno - Brassard - Prospal Advantage: Vancouver (By a landslide) Stars: Whitney - Roy - Ryder Eriksson - Eakin (Benn) - Jagr Advantage: Vancouver Red Wings: Zetterberg - Datsyuk - Brunner Franzen - Filppula - Bertuzzi Advantage: Detroit Oilers: Hall - Nugent-Hopkins - Eberle Hemsky - Gagner - Yakupov Advantage: Vancouver Kings: Williams - Kopitar - Brown Gagne - Richards - Carter Advantage: Kings Wild: Parise - Koivu - Heatley Bouchard - Granlund - Setoguchi Advantage: Vancouver Predators: Wilson - Fisher - Erat Kostitsyn - Legwand - Hornqivst Advantage: Vancouver Coyotes: Boedker - Vermette - Vrbata Sullivan - Hanzel - Doan Advantage: Vancouver Sharks: Marleau - Thornton - Halvat Clowe - Coouture - Pavelski Advantage: Sharks Blues: Perron - Backes - Stewart Steen - McDonald - Tarasenko Advantage: Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeywoot Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Our top 6 isn't the best. But its still pretty darn good. Top-9 has variables. If Kassian/Schroeder can make meaningful contributions it'll be excellent. If one of Booth or Raymond (Manny too) have bounceback years, we'll be a force. The game is played on the ice, not on paper. We'll have to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keslerian one Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Just looking at top 6, I would say the Kings, the Oilers and the Blues have the best forwards. Fortunately, we have the Sedins, some good grinders, one of the best checking lines, good depth on D, and elite goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 LA has the best Penner Carter William Gagne Richard Brown that is a stacked top 6 with skilled, speed, and toughness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.olofsson Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Other teams will also have injuries .If not to start with they will have them later. Also, most people here seems to underestimate out top line wich pretty much is the best in western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
