4 - 3 Seattle Brandon Tanev

5-0 Canes Svechnikov

If I had to watch Miller dog his *** back every shift I'd scream at him too if I was on D.

Good job miller - one of three back on their rush and you head to the bench.

5 - 2 Buffalo Petey with 1st goal at home Asplund with GWG

6 - 3 Minn Podz

Its OK if you have full on apathy, you still care more than the players from what I can see.

And in the 4th game of their campaign did the Canucks of Vancouver manage not to blow a lead as they did not score and the Jackets of Columbus did triumph 2-0 or No one scores Columbus 2-0

Few things. 1. Horvat (Yeah I'll probably get flak for this) - this is supposed to be our leader? I'm just not seeing it. Maybe he's good in the dressing room, but so far this season (and frankly a good portion of last season), he just doesn't lead by example. Isn't his nick name supposed to be bull? He's one of our softest players. Sad. On other teams the Captain seems to be in the play all night - ours seems to just disappear. 2. Power Play - This is many years now of a power play that does the same thing night after night. I can tell you the pass each player will make on every sequence before they make it (I'm sure the other teams know as well). Do they not understand that you need movement to open lanes, not just by the puck carrier, but the whole unit. This is simple hockey - you move, they move. I'm sure it will get better at some point, but its still just the same repetitive plays with a bunch of pylons bumping the puck. 3. Defense - Honestly our defense isn't as bad as a lot of people think - watch the turn-overs by the forwards, how many times they fail to clear the zone, how easy many of them back check leaving open players. Watch when we go up the ice and how fast their forwards get onto our players - watch how long they have open players and the defense and Thatcher are left alone to clean up those extras. 4. Culture - Something has to change - there is so little heart in this team right now and it is so fragile - game one was a simple case of just giving up when a couple of things didn't go their way. This game was just a lack of effort - pathetic. Feels like another season of being out by November unless they figure it out.

Patiently waiting for the "Culture" change....

Sorry, my bad. Putting as much energy into my reading skills as the Canucks are in playing hockey. With that understanding, I guess it would depending if you expect your 2c or 3c to be your match-up line - Bo's a bit better defensively than those two IMHO but based on offensive skills alone, I would agree. Cheers.

No, team is already bi-polar enough as is. Captain has to be passionate but steady, not all over the place. Plus, I don't want anyone leading the team that drags their ass back to their bench as slowly as they can when they don't like the call, what's happening on the ice etc. He's a skill player, but a bit of a prima-dona - No to the "C"

Only if your a Canuck, otherwise you can throw as many punches as you wish.

Not like the refs cost us the game. But really? F-that.

Who would have thought that when our Penalty Killing started standing around like pylons instead of skating they would return to getting scored on constantly.

Canucks thought the same thing.

I just knew Myers was going to score that shift he was all over San Jose.

Oh, hey, I remember that guy....

Not complaining, but they playing in a Library? So Quiet.

4 - 1 Canucks Podz
