  1. I feel like I’ve lost a lot of brain cells listening to these announcers.
  2. Defensively, Rathbone looked worse than OJ in the first, albeit not by much. Canucks look a lot better than I thought they would with this lineup. I wonder what Petey and Hughes are thinking of the game so far.
  3. I don’t normally say good things about Shaw, but today I’m a Shaw fan.
  4. Who in tonight’s line up would actually drop the gloves with some Kraken? Schenn and…?
  5. Can’t wait to get this rivalry underway, and for the hate between teams to start. This is OUR major local rival now. Like the Islanders and Rangers, or Sharks and Ducks, or Flames and Oilers. Sure, there is a border between our two teams, but we’re a stone’s throw away, something the Canucks have never had. This isn’t just some meaningless first exhibition game. This is the first meeting against our most hated team - the story begins to unfold, and even though our veterans are missing tonight, I hope our youngsters realize the importance of this game.
  6. I’m watching the Bruins / Caps game on NHL centre ice right now, so it’s absolutely verified that the free trial is on. I can’t wait for 6 pm.
  7. Yeah, some old sayings are no longer appropriate, ie “bottom of the totem pole”.
  8. It looks like it’s on channel 626 tomorrow on Shaw (NHL Centre Ice)… I think it might be a free trial time too?
  9. I wonder how well the Canucks can do without those two in the lineup. If Canucks can play at .500 or above without them for a few games, the pressure will be more on Hughes and Petey to get signed. If Canucks get out the gates on a major losing streak, Benning will feel major heat to get them signed.
  10. I’ve always thought this kind of ranking system should be balanced out a bit and years of service on here should also factor in. Some folks might not like to comment every time they have a minor thought, but they come here religiously and read a lot of comments. Others have literary diarrhea on here and type millions of pointless comments even when they’ve only been here a few weeks. It’s like former Canucks Esa Tikkanen and Trevor Linden, some chat a lot and some don’t, but both deserving in their own way.
  11. We’ll, I’m not sure who to bring in. I sometimes hope the KHL will go bankrupt and fold and Tryamkin, who is still technically Canuck property, will sign a five year deal with us. That would help.
  12. I’m excited about the team, but would not consider them tough. I don’t think any team will tremble at the thought of playing us. We could really use more nastiness. I’d say every other team our division will be more physically rough than us, I’m guessing, like usual, our team will begin to get decimated with injuries by late November.
  13. Only like 24 more hours until there should hopefully be a game day thread for Sunday’s preseason game. Bring it!
  14. I’m still okay to have Petey and Hughes sit out at least 10 games in order for them and the Canucks to try to settle on a fair deal. These will be BIG contracts and even lessening the amounts by a little will go a far way to help us stay competitive down the road and keep other talented players. In the meantime, Rathbone can show what he’s made of offensively and we have plenty of top forwards to see what different combinations look like. When Hughes and Petey do eventually sign and return, it’ll be a healthy injection of talent to take us over the top.
  15. I’m really liking the highlight hits by Woo… even led to a turnover goal in the scrimmage. What do people think his chances are of making the club? Each year it’s always ‘maybe next year,’ but given we have such few hard hitting defenders now, I could see him surprising folks when it comes time for cuts.
  16. Holy smokes, the dude doesn’t appear to be in stellar shape. Hope that’s not a sign of things to come.
  17. Agreed. Without reliable Tanev there to bail him out, his defensive lapses were exposed.
  18. As fans, we’ve been through some rough years of late, and deserve a season with minimal disruptions. Canucks just need to play, with their best players on the ice. Management, players and player agents need to cut us some slack and just get a deal done. (But not one that handcuffs this team, so disregard what I just said and ride this out until a fair contract is agreed to).
  19. I’ve got a feeling Petey is ready to sign, and Hughes isn’t, and that Hughes is slowing down both of them.
  20. Hmm, after taking a closer look, it doesn’t look like Root is available on the Canadian FuboTV. Just the US FuboTV. Back to the drawing board.
  21. Brilliant. Thank you sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman.
  22. Looks like you have to be a paid subscriber to access Root via app. Unless… wizards? This *is* preseason where we’ve seen such wizardry in the past via split squads.
