Imho, not healthy to re-open healing wounds: comparing players we could have drafted instead, players we shouldn't have traded, players we signed who aren't producing... This is sunk cost. If we really need to do that, then spend some time focusing on the other positive things. Nobody bats 1000.

If Craig Button's list holds true by draft time, even if the Canucks draft low, they could still end up with at least one of my pre-season 2018 draft targets: Ryan Merkley (13) and Joe Veleno (25). See: http://www.tsn.ca/craig-s-list-dahlin-dominating-one-canadian-in-top-10-1.915356

Good, good sporting night. Boeser with a hatty, Horvat with 4 points, and GSP wins his comeback fight!
-
Canucks hat trick! Didn't think I would see it again in my lifetime. Two more Boeser goals for today's game and Safeway would not pay up a million dollars.

Apparently, Casey Mittelstadt had a shoulder alignment problem during the combine and that's why he couldn't do a pullup: http://www.startribune.com/casey-mittelstadt-lifting-gophers-with-strong-start-to-college-career/454779223/

Yet another tied score (and blown save) in today's World Series game! So many bowed heads and folded hands...
-
I guess we should call them Golden Knights after all. They will soon have the league-best record after 9 games with 8 wins and 1 loss. Imho, their record is even more amazing than that of the Canucks and the Avalanche.

Derek Dorsett currently has more goals than Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel. Just saying.

@vinny_in_vancouverYou're overestimating their past defence and past bottom 6. For several seasons they had one of the worst defenses in the league. It's still pretty mediocre this season. They've improved their bottom 6 this season but the 2,3, and 4th lines aren't contributing. The top line of Eichel, Kane, and Pominville are creating nearly all of the offense.

@SabreFan1 They definitely sacrificed their D, but it's still a team game, and they have enough forwards that are supposed to be two-way players. What gets me is that even with all of that O talent, they still have games where they are not able to generate enough O. Imho, they should be just as good offensively as the Leafs. I definitely think they're underperforming and guys that are supposed to be the leaders are somehow not able to impose their will on the team. But your team has the assets to get the D help that you need - unfortunately, your old GM Murray seemed very attached to all the forwards he has brought to the team. Imho, with just a few moves, your team can contend (there, I said the 'C' word).

@vinny_in_vancouver I pretty much agree with that. I wish I knew what their major malfunction as a team is.... It's quite frustrating to watch.
-
Wow. I know it's early, but imho, Derek Dorsett has arguably been the Canucks' MVP this season. He has played a shut-down role well, throws out timely hits, fights for his teammates, and is tied for the team lead in goals.

@Fantomex I was on the "put him on the train to Utica" bandwagon but I'll always happily eat my words when it comes to the Canucks.

My greatest fear: Anders Nilsson as the Tank Killer.

Luongo with a vintage performance against the previously undefeated St. Louis Blues. Luuuuuuuuuu....
