They were great in pre season, glad to see them coming together. I guess we can say Nils has finally become A man…

Good god…hurts me just looking at it! …it looks like there may already be someone’s blood in the bottle…

…let’s get crazy and go for a 4 goal lead…no way we could go lose!

Cheech! What a guy lol…even when the team is losing the two Johns always make me smile. Best crew in the biz! How Cheech can stay so trim with that kinda diet is crazy to me…I look at a donut and I gain weight

…You know me so well

…you should see where it’s coming out of me…bloody disgusting…I should be ashamed…but I’m a Canucks fan…so I have none

In that case, they’re doing a hell of a job!

Ah, I see where your confusion lies…they have already changed their slogan…it’s now “our pursuit”…I wish I was kidding…

I got shot down at work for my safety slogan…what does everyone here think of it…ehem… ”We’ve upped our safety, now up yours” My boss shot it down too quickly I think,,,it’s got legs if you ask me

Ugh…these slogans…I tell ya…

Bo is definitely not useless, far from it. I know you aren’t being totally serious. But the main issues have been people getting tired of his leadership style. I have loved what he brings to our team year after year. He is what he is, a great 2nd line center IMO…I honestly think he would thrive if he wasn’t the captain anymore. Kinda like when Luongo gave it up, it was a distraction to him. Once he passed it on he started playing better again. That all being said, contract wise his demands aren’t realistic at all. The team has committed to JT. I think with all due respect to Bo it’s time for a change and he could fetch us a very good defenceman in return. Great player, but different paths have now been set. That’s just the reality of it.

He didn’t like it here, plain and simple. We seen the same player this pre season as the one last season. Gets traded and is instantly better…I keep saying it, this city puts way more pressure on its players than most other cities…maybe aside from montreal and toronto. Lots of players have come here and flopped hard. It’s a tough city to play hockey in…how many times have we heard about players loving playing in the states as there just isn’t as much fan pressure there since the NHL is kinda a second thought compared to football, basketball, baseball…you can just play hockey and not get hassled every corner you turn wherever you go in the town. Not every player enjoys being the center of attention.

Injured to start the season. He was injured a lot last year…before he joined the Canucks he never had injury issues…what is with the west coast air and hockey players? Not sure lol. So many injuries already this year.

I love the fact that he has no issue getting his game up to snuff in the AHL…everyone here for the longest time shamed our former management for letting go of Dahlen for this guy…yet Dahlen has flamed out, couldn’t stick it in San Jose and has went back to Europe AGAIN…and here is Karlsson taking the slow but steady growth plan to a tee, all his patience and hard work will pay off soon. I think we got a player with him. How high his ceiling is I’m not sure. Will be watching him closely in Abby. Good greasy goal last night.

Nothing really, he just never come back after the period ended. There was a play at the end of the period that he looked a bit awkward, looked like ankle possibly, then just never returned to the game. One of the news reporters said he was walking with a bit of a limp out of the dressing room…all just guesses right now. Really hope we haven’t lost another player to concussions.

It’s part of the NHLPA agreement, so many off days, optional skates, etc. I think they are pre determined for each team before the season starts. That being said, who shows up for optional skate tomorrow could say a lot of who wants to win more than others…but hard to judge in that fact alone cause you never know what kind of small injuries guys have. Hopefully they get a good turn out tmrw so they can keep working the kinks out.

There is no easy solution. Benning left a huge hole in our defence. Couldn’t seem to draft it either, had his chances but whiffed. The kind of defensemen we need will not be easy to pry away. I think people are being to hard on JR and co. The tight cap makes it hard as hell to move any asset. I agree, they played their hand and have decided JT is worth keeping over Bo. They need to resolve this situation and balance the team out asap. It should not have gone into the regular season. No reason to drag this out. Horvat plus picks or prospects will get us a decent defenseman in return…one would think. Even tho JT has stunk to start, I still like his passion. Made no excuses and said exactly what everyone thinks…a guy like that will fight to get out of that funk…Horvat…another vanilla “this is unacceptable speech”…holy crap am I tired of hearing that from him. At least Miller owns his shit.

Chiasson is staying in North America waiting for a contract. Get him back here asap. Get the Miller, Podz, and Chiasson line back together. They were dynamite at the end of last season!

Well shit buddy, heal up! Enjoy the game! You deserve it

Chaos giraffe is awesome if used properly. I agree! He is under rated by a lot of us fans. He brings some size and grit that we desperately need! Cheers

Good to see you have your priorities straight

We’re in trouble…they have the great Zamula on LD. Gonna be hard beating a guy who obviously can tell the future…good thing he is the 3 LD…gonna have to capitalize while he’s on the bench!

C+ Average, it’s a pass! Way to go @Petey_BOI

Totally agree, I really thought the same. To be honest, I miss the old Bo Horvat, bull in a china shop guy…since he become captain he has tried to do way too much and I personally think it’s derailed him a bit. But circumstances are circumstances, he was our best option after the Sedins.

…But they have lots of mosquito infested lakes!
