Canucks record: 12-11-0, not impressive. There was a time after my last post when I thought the team might be "destined" when they had 3 straight wins even with all the injuries, but then 3 straight losses brought me back to reality. The roller coaster ride continues with 2 wins and then another (1-0 Chicago) loss. Good news is we have players back - Luongo, Johnson, Hansen and Daniel Sedin - the past few days and we'll see how good the Canucks really are with a better lineup.

I was really surprised to see Henrik producing even without his injured twin. He's a legitimate top line player, not just because of their dynamic twin power. I'm glad he got the "A" before the season. Burrows though might have suffered without Daniel. But with his work ethic I know he'll bounce back.

Also, Wellwood is not doing as well as in Preseason. Not sure what's wrong with him. Maybe he should be placed on PK detail again to get him back to basics. It worked for him, Raymond, Kesler and Burrows last year. AV will find a way.

I can't imagine we expected more out of a team missing their top scorer, their franchise starting goalie, several depth players and most defensemen for various periods of time.

12-11 is a great record for a team as plagued by injuries as Vancouver. By all rights we should be fighting Carolina for Taylor Hall.

Taylor Hall is Boston's (thanks to TO). I don't mind that record, we had a slow start, and the injury bug has made its presence felt.

The key is the third line. The third line of any team will make the difference. Just like outstanding goaltending.

Welly is not performing and he needs to. Hes paid a million bucks which is good money for a third line center so how about producing a few goals.

Cool, I'm on the front page. Thanks, Admin. ^^

And Wellwood finally scored! Empty-netter. What a funny reaction from the crowd - booing an earlier goal change from Wellwood to Glass.
