NHL'er

In points - 3rd in the Pacific, 8th in the West and tied 16th in the league.

In point percentage - 4th in the Pacific, 10th in the West and 24th in the league.  

Canucks are the only team to have played 23 games which is insane given that they are also the only team with 14 road games.  

It's really early in the season.  Regardless of what the makeup of the conference is, it takes a certain amount of sucking REALLY bad to be that out of a playoff spot right now.

remain optomistic

hardest part of the schedule is done

majority of the remaining games are at home

january is typically injury month for the canucks

but this season they hardly travel that month

they should be back a full strength before christmas

hockey gods have vowed to then lay off the canucks injury epidemic for 6 weeks

so we can watch the team shine

and then whammy them double hard shortly before the tdl

or maybe they will just forget about the team

and we'll just see the team progress and mature and gain a wild card spot
