He has been responsible, which is what you want from a rookie Dman. No points and a plus 1 so far. Tonight is a big moment in his career, I am hopeful he can put up an Apple on the board, but twine snapping wrister over the blocker would be Great! Hahaha, tonight he may double his on ice minutes for the season. lol 2020-2021 REGULAR SEASON GAME LOG DATE OPP RESULT G A PTS +/- PIM SOG % PPG PPA SHG SHA GWG TOI PROD Wed 1/13 @ EDM W 5-3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 10:16 0:00 Thu 1/14 @ EDM L 2-5 0 0 0 0 0 2 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 11:20 0:00 Sat 1/16 @ CGY L 0-3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 10:53 0:00 Mon 1/18 @ CGY L 2-5 0 0 0 1 0 2 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 7:55 0:00 January Totals 0 0 0 1 0 4 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 40:24 0:00 Regular Season Stats 0 0 0 1 0 4 0.0 0 0 0 0 0 40:24 0:00

The one drawback I thought of to the question of "Why didn't we do 3 or 4 game mini series in the regular season before COVID protocol?" was literally this scenario. YOu can beat up one or two guys in game one and enjoy not having them in the lineup in games 2 thru 4. I don't think any of our injuries are on purpose from the Canadiens but the concept on paper looks like it could pay off for money hungry playoff hopeful clubs.

Brock is 23 and Bo is twenty five Jakes just 24 now, one less than Motte has been alive Gauddy too is just two dozen years his fathers son And Pettersson is still only twenty two years young Hogger is just twenty while he gets the cheers MacEwan would be a CASE if his age were beers On D we have a Huggy Bear who's 21 just now Olli, Jalen and the Bro average 23 years WOW. This poem only has one point, our crew is hot but FRESH Give them time to gel and stuff, before you demand their best. I will finish with a Demko nod, at 25, still young Nice to see both tendies face the Habs and soon, both won?

I will likely agree with you after he has had maybe 20 NHL games worth of experience, more or less. I don't disagree now, but lets see what the new broom does for clean sweeping once its bristles are worn in.

CDC Fantasy League 2020-21 (Apply Within!)

Claim: Vancouver places a claim on Artem Anisimov. If successful, assign Alex Formenton to the minor league Comets/Moose to make room please. -
I do think he deserves another contract, I voted 4 or less, but I think 3 is the magic number. You can fire him any time, but lets assume you don't in the first year of a renewal, then if your going to fire him its either with one season left or no seasons left. Shrug. I like 3 too. Seems the best option and fit. The coach is Aquilini's problem though, as a fan all i care about is the cap and we are about to free up Lou money, then Loui money and the covid flat cap will go up in each year from here on out too: canucks are young and about to have a great 3 or 4 years cap wise. IMO for that reason I keep the GM and for the thrill of the games I have watched under Coach Green, I would love to see him stay on too. Where the club is in the 23-24 season will be a big focus for me as a long term fan. If they aren't competing for the cup a few times up to and including that year, I may get worried. All signs point to awesome though. THis covid season is a scrub no matter what, but I do hope we make the post season. If we don't I like that we can draft a young gun to come in earlier than usual with a good pick. This is the year to expect to be entertained. THe coming three years after this are the years to expect to be blown away.

PREDICT THE SCORE CONTEST: MTL @ VAN Jan 20 2021
Primal Optimist replied to goalie13's topic in Canucks Talk
5-3 Vancouver 6 if they get an empty netter! BOLD. ahahahaha -
I just got here late to the thread, but I would like to champion a really good club we have this year and suggest that in the great north, we have a lot of hosers playing hockey eh bud. I would think that almost every club 'could' make the playoffs with the one off divisions that see all the Canadian teams play each other. Take aways I like: 9 goals in three games, but blanked in one. It is literally just one week, the opening week of the season. We usually would give them 10, 15 or 20 games before analyzing the set of games. Covid shortened season ratios say we should then give them 7, 10 or 14 games to make the same analysis. 1w 3l with a minimum three games to go before I will even start to worry. The club is one of the best built versions of our team since I became an ensconced and alert fan around 1979/80..I like the Naslund Era a little better thus far, but I think this club is deeper than we ever were back then. I like 22 players, just counted from teh roster page on CDC, out of the 27 players listed there, includes taxi squad i guess. I think at the 14 or 15 game mark we will be having a much different conversation, however, note that Pod is coming in April and IF we don't get into the post season, there will be a high draft pick coming in the offseason. I am not worried. Even if we miss the playoffs during covid season, we will be that much better next year for the experience and the reinforcements. WOuld be nice to draft Atu Raty, right, and come back next year with 24 players that are really worth getting to like and know, at that point we will be a contender, even I take off my rose coloured glasses! Cheers guys, I hope to be much more active in Canucks Talk this year, its been a long while that I have been sidelined over in Fantasy Hockey, out of choice, but with 2011 so far back in the rearview now, it is time to get back to basics and be Primaly Optimistic about this club! lol

I am pretty sure, 99%, from NHL.com that the first stars game is against the preds on Jan 22nd. I have a lot of stars in another leaugue and making my moves to bring them up tomorrow or the next day to be ready to roll for that opening game.
