Three games means 6 points up for grabs.Take 4 of them and we are on the way. This is where we want to be. The team should be motivated against Doughty and his big mouth. Just play the way we have been playing and lets get the W. LA is no longer a true test of anything. Anaheim is, from a goaltending perspective, and from a physical one. San Jose, while having a decent forward corps, and some excellent defensemen, are sieves in goal. I won't be shocked if the Canucks sweep the trip.

yes we can nucks Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 No, we shouldn't lose to a team like that. 10-1 blowout. Hat tricks by Schaller, Ferland, and Eriksson... 'Oscar' Myers first. Plus an own goal by Markstrom on a back feed from Edler. Doughty is seen curled up in a ball in the corner of the locker room sucking his ...thumb! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Canucks are catching some teams off guard this year with their relentless wave of quality lines one through four. Yeah, and what're they gonna do about it, cower? Double-shift BHutt?

I won't be shocked if the Canucks sweep the trip. If they sweep those 3 games they will/could secure a playoff berth. That sounds out of line but a solid start like that can establish the type of confidence that can carry thru the season. IMHO there is much more offence still buried in that roster. Winning like this gives Hughes a much easier intro to the NHL. Winning allows Jake more TOI with Horvat and maybe creates that breakout we have all hoped for. Combine all this with the depth in Utica that can be called on if needed. Love it! 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA will come at us hard as well since we completely humiliated them last time, while Anaheim has some decent weapons. San Jose are still figuring things out, but they aren’t that far off from being an excellent team again. This won’t be an easy road trip, but I think the Canucks will be up for the challenge.

gizmo2337 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I think the key for tonight is weathering the first few minutes, and jumping on them early. If the PP can get going, we should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zapperman Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 A win tonight and an Oiler loss = 1st place. And we never look back. Yes, I am an optimist. But I’ll settle for the playoffs regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Canucks continue the solid start and bring their fast, relentless forecheck coupled with the skill they possess, and continue to maintain their physicality, they'll benefit greatly from it, as they are, at the very least, on par with all three California teams right now. 5 minutes ago, Boudrias said: IMHO there is much more offence still buried in that roster. Far more than either LA or Anaheim possess presently. San Jose, while having the roster capable of depth scoring, seem to be having glaring issues in their play right now. 5 minutes ago, Boudrias said: Winning like this gives Hughes a much easier intro to the NHL.

The chemistry is clicking on each line, and the defense is looking great. Both goaltenders are capable of closing the door too. It is awesome. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LA came hard ( ) at points in the last game, but Vancouver had, and has, the roster to play and dole out the physical game. And the horses for a speed and skill game. 7 minutes ago, Hindustan Smyl said: San Jose are still figuring things out, but they aren’t that far off from being an excellent team again.

Mrwipeout Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Id say this game is more about getting it done and not underestimating the oposition. nucks are better and got a first line to fear for any oposition with petey being the new magic man, miller a playmaker that can score and Brock being the natural sniper. Hoping for a good start to the roadtrip! 4-3 if simply getting it done.....but im guessing 5-2 seems more likely based on the teams current status. Brock, petey, Huggy bear, Jake, Leivo with the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
