Duodenum

Looking like the same story as last year so far. Back to back losses to Detroit and Buffalo lmao. This is not a well constructed team.

*Controversial opinion* One thing about Petey and why I'm ok with him getting a 3 year contract is that he hasn't gotten any better since his rookie year. We were hoping for a ppg+ superstar after that first year and it just hasn't happened yet. When you get crazy amount of ozone starts and 1:30+ pp time every powerplay, the team needs their top players to be ppg+. Otherwise, they should only play 1:10 of each pp and switch to the 2nd unit.

Lmao Canucks really can't buy one. They won't allow that.

Lol how is that a 5 min major, should be overturned.

Garland creates so much at even strength which was sorely needed last year. Greiss is in the zone right now, Canucks should be winning.

Lol what kind of penalty killing was that.

Tanner Pearson is a 20% shootout player, dumb choice to select him. Miller was terrible as was the powerplay. Hogz and OEL looked great, Hughes played well I thought. Green can't be pissing away points making zero IQ decisions.

Lower protection against catching the virus. Still provides protection beyond the 6 months at the same 90+% rate of preventing serious disease/hospitalization.

If Lucid doesn't break 20 here and uses it as support I'll be loading up @NucksPatsFan

Trade him for a ransom if the team isn't any good.

Sounds like he's basically saying give me the bridge contract now and then he'll see in 3 years whether the team is worth sticking around for or not. I'd do the same thing in his situation. Management hasn't shown to be able to build a consistent winning team yet and if they still haven't 3 years from now, I'd bounce to another team.

*Accept I've been following the Canucks and hockey for just as long, I'm not negative...just not overly positive unless I have a reason to be. The defense as it is looks bad, no need to get hurt by that. If they surprise, great. I want them to win and complaints are made when moves are made that reduce the likelihood of that happening. Me waiving pompoms isn't going to help their odds of winning at all.

I'd be a fool not to take that bet.

Don't qualify him and re-sign him to the 2 year 1.7 mill contract.

How did Jani Hakanpaa get only 3x1.5 vs. Poolman's 4x2.5? Canadian teams seem to really need to pay a premium to sign some players. Similar style but Hakanpaa is better defensively and bigger/hits more. Dallas' defense is looking amazing. Lindell - KlingbergSuter - HeiskanenSekera - Hakanpaa That's a dream worthy defense.

We've got a chance, especially with being in a bad division. Need to stay healthy and I hope the new defense coach can work a miracle.

Would've gotten a 2nd and a conditional 3rd if they had selected B. Dillon instead.

Absolutely the opposite. I'm just using how they'll historically performed and assuming that they will more or less continue that with Hughes/Rathbone being maybes to improve. We had one of the worst dcorps last year, lost our two top defensive defenseman and replaced them with a struggling OEL and a bottom pairing Poolman. Therefore I am expecting more of the same because that is the most likely to occur. By our defense being a disaster, I'm talking specifically about keeping the puck out of the net.

Well Hughes is bad defensively, Rathbone is a rookie, Myers is a #4-5, Poolman is a #6 dman, OEL hasn't performed well the last couple years and is a total wildcard, Schenn is a #6-7. Myers is not gonna stay at home, that's not the player he is or ever has been. We have no shutdown pairing and will bleed goals against. Our top 2 defensively sound defenders from last year are gone in Edler and Schmidt (Edler also our top pker). We'll be in the bottom 10 in goals against again unless Demko has a Vezina calibre season. The stars all have to align to make this even an average dcorps.

Made a lot of changes but have to wait and see if it ends up with a better product on the ice. Our forwards should be great. Defense a disaster. Goaltending solid. So let's see if the forwards and goaltending can overcome our terrible defense.

Clarke looks like he can barely skate.

This defense needs two prime Chris Prongers just to get back to respectability. Hughes/Rathbone/Myers/OEL we are going to bleed goals against.

Graves is a fluffy pillow. Need someone with far more truculence than Graves.

They don't believe that Glass will amount to anything.

Meh, point totals inflated from playing on Colorado. $7 million dollar player looking to find a dumb GM to give him $9 million per.
