bigbadcanucks Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I say so far both did. Canucks won because they replaced a person who wanted out (and a pick) and got a Top 6 D-Man and Two Picks to boot. The Ducks will still be a great team with or without Kesler and I think The Ducks are looking for Kesler to dominate in the Playoffs. I'm no soothsayer, but I'm predicting that Kesler's body will break down sometime throughout the season and he'll be wobbling into the playoffs as a game time decision.

And then we beat them in "whatever" round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuktravella Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 wait til a bunch of teams dont have any proper starters from injury bugs or crappy tenders ( oilers, ducks, canes, sabres, caps, isles, hawks, blues, jets). at deadline lets get a first rounder and a good d prospect for one of (lack, markstrom, ericksson). fingers crossed some teams get desperate for our goalie riches im really ok with miller taking this team to the cup with a one swede as our backup until demko is ready in 3-4 yrs name one other team with as deep a goalie poole we are miles ahead in this position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadcanucks Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It can't be understated how important it was to start that road trip off with a win. California is gonna be Thunderdome, and the Canucks are gonna have to be at their best to get some points. So much better to be going in on a high though. Now they know they can win when they're down, which is huge. Considering JB's assessment of the Canucks (to paraphrase)..."we seem to be good against the bigger teams and seem to have some trouble with the fast skating teams", I'm excited about how we match up against the "GIANTS" of California. IMO, if the team comes out moving their feet and owning the puck, these big-bodied California teams may have to be worried about matching up against us...but as Willie says, the team hasn't done anything until they have done it.

I also think it has to do with being emotionally invested. Against the California teams there's always animosity and some rough stuff. And when the Canucks are the more disciplined team, they can definitely take advantage of these teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
