I’m excited but not feeling overly confident, looking at our line-up. We need some injuries to heal. You just know the refs will be dishing out a ton of cross checking penalties to Myers and company the moment they so much as touch McWhiner. I hope team chemistry starts to appear. There wasn’t much sign in preseason. Go Canucks!

Blah, that sucks that Boeser starts the season on IRL. And we have no reason why. Just like Petey for over half of last season, fans just kept in the dark until afterwards. Not feeling optimistic with the amount of injuries and no-shows that we have before even the first regular season puck is dropped. This team really does feel cursed by the injury big sometimes.

Hamonic is such a loser if this is really what’s going on here. How could any self-respecting player intentionally stay home collecting millions and refuse to get vaccinated. Absolutely shameless. I don’t care what his daughter’s situation is - he is a safer person to be around if he is vaccinated. This guy needs his head examined.

Amen brother. I hope you’re right, Alf.

I’m feeling pretty bummed about this team and the season hasn’t even started yet. When Petey and Hughes signed, I was relieved, but there have been so many red flags popping up of late: - putting Hamonic on waivers - trading away Joulevi - Boeser’s injury status unknown - team unable to gel or look sharp in preseason - Often-injured Motte still out - Often-injured Sutter still out (long-Covid?? That could be a forever-thing) - losing Gadjovich on the waiver wire to the sharks We as Canucks fans have been waiting years for a relatively healthy, competitive team. We have paid our dues. This needs to be a successful season. My patience is almost up. I already don’t like the fact this team is probably the softest team in the league right now. We need to win. Period.

If there is any truth to this, he would be one selfish SOB. There is absolutely no reason for him not to be vaccinated. He’s a professional athlete who signed a contract in the best hockey league in the world.

This really is getting bonkers. It’s unfortunate that Canucks have relied pretty heavily on whether this guy actually plays for us. He was our top 4 solution and now he’s a flakey as Brent Burns’ beard. If only Tryamkin made the right choice and rejoined this club. We’d be looking pretty set.

[GDT/PGT] Preseason Oilers @ Canucks / Oct. 9 / 6:00 PM Rogers Arena
Slegr replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
What a hard fail this game has been so far. Imagine paying the ridiculous price they were charging for this preseason game. I’d be disgruntled. I really do despise all the secrecy with the team. IE when will Brock really be back? When will Hamonic show up? What the heck happened to Joulevi? If feels like Motte has spent half his Canuck career injured. And Sutter has always seemed fairly sluggish to me. Is it really long Covid that has done this to him? Yeah, I guess I’m just cranky with how this game is going, despite it being preseason. -
[GDT/PGT] Preseason Oilers @ Canucks / Oct. 9 / 6:00 PM Rogers Arena

I’m in full support of Joulevi staying up and sending Rathbone down at the start. We can’t lose Joulevi for nothing, and he would get claimed. Injuries to defense has been a theme on this team for years. We know Rathbone would be back up pretty quick. -
I don’t really feel like making a new thread with this inquiry, so I’m asking here: has anyone heard anything about an alternate jersey this season? I.e. which one? How many games? Canucks management would be foolish not to have the 90s skate back again. It’s Petey’s favourite and that should count for something. I’m so glad that weird green reverse retro jersey is done - it looked horrible and I think we lost every game in it. Any intel is appreciated. Selfishly, I’m going to a Canucks / Sharks game in April and hope to see the black skate jersey then.

Does anyone see netting on the end boards above the glass? I don’t.. just wondering if I’m missing it.

Bloody preseason penalties. Keep putting 5 out there I say
-
Serious question: is there no netting behind the end boards in Edmonton? I’m not seeing any.

Ugly stuff. Garland injury because of pure team incompetence. This game needs to end fast. -

Elias Pettersson | Quinn Hughes - Contract Discussion Thread
Slegr replied to Bertuzzipunch's topic in Canucks Talk
If I’m being completely honest, I’d rather see Petey for 6 years and Hughes for 3, but maybe Petey just needs that feeling of not being tied down, and we’ll be able to extend to another good contract in a few years. Overall, if these signings happen in the amounts they’re rumoured to be, this team is looking super sexy. -
I’m curious to know if anyone is planning to travel outside of Canada in the coming months (for non-essential travel). I notice that you have to take a Covid test within 72 hours of returning to Canada when you go somewhere. For places like Mexico, resorts charge upwards of $200-$300 US per test, so a family of four would need to spend about $1,000 US on Covid testing to fly back into Canada. That’s a pretty big extra expense. what do folks think? Is it worth splurging to get a much-needed getaway in over Christmas holidays or spring break. Or continue to wait this out until we’re all senior citizens?

I don’t think the game will be on one of the “NHL hockey” channels on NHL Centre Ice tonight. I just looked at one now, and there’s nothing on it. The Habs / Leafs game is showing though. Do we know if the Canucks game is found on YouTube tonight, off the Canucks TV link? My tv gets YouTube ok. Otherwise I’ll have to sync the tv to my phone.

[GDT/PGT] Pre-season Game 1: Canucks @ Kraken 6:00 PM
Slegr replied to -DLC-'s topic in Canucks Talk
We squandered two points! That may cost us at the end of preseason
