*Midway Point* Biggest disappointment / biggest pleasant surprise

Surprise: They're actually letting Schroeder play, though their backs are against the wall. Surprised some plug isn't playing in his place, especially on the fourth.

Dissapointment: Everything. :)

Just joking. Actually not much except that Garrison hasn't slotted in as well as he could have. I still think the overall bad quality defensively itself and lack of players in their proper positions is to blame.

I think the year was going to be pretty tough no matter what, so many things against us. It's plausible that Gillis and Co are not afraid to wipe it out. Settling the deal at the last second gave us no opportunity to trade Luongo. That trading block, getting another top 6 forward, and fixing the D with proper pairings probably needs to wait until the offseason.

Biggest surprise: Lack of goal scoring and power play

Biggest Fail: Fanbase

Come down from the ledge people.

If you remove the divisional leader seedings, we are....guess what....3rd in the conference. As of this morning we are 8th overall out of 30 teams.

I'm just surprised that such knowledgeable hockey fans would blow up a contender at the mid-point of a lockout shortened season that also had no pre-season. Sure they can drive this off a cliff in the next few weeks but they can also go on a run.

Hell 3 months ago most of you professed to be done with the game now you are up in arms because those who are running the team won't read these forums and take your advise.

Pleasant surprises:

-Tanev's emergence as a top-four defensemen.

-Raymond's resurgence

-Hansen's continues to improve

-Schroeder sticking in the NHL (Many thought he'd never make the team, let alone play regular minutes)

-Kassian's continued development

-Ballard has been making steady improvements since coming over

Dissapointments

- Edler's erradic play

Pleasant Surprise - Raymond's showing he's not the plug we thought he was last year

Disappointment - Garrison, but Edler and the Kesler injuries are close. Garrison has 3 goals and 1 assist and we signed him until 2018 to replace Salo. It turned out to be a bust, maybe not as much as Sturm but still a disappointing player.

Surprise: Nothing, I knew this team would suck this year after no changes but negative changes were made after losing to the Kings

Disappointment: The whole damn Canucks organization. Gillis is too afraid to make a move, AV is no longer listened to or taken seriously by his players. He's a coach who can't even motivate his damn team. The guy has favourite players who, in reality, suck. This guy is a cancer to the Canucks organization and both Gillis and AV should be fired.
