TotesMagotes Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Not much you can say about the first game of the season. Can't believe some people are splooging already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icycold Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Some of the stupidity of the replies to this particular thread amaze me, we are a better overall team. We're clearly a better team with more depth than in the history of the franchise and for those too clueless to realize that MG tried this 3-4 yrs ago doing but ran in to the salary cap. Even now, we got tougher with bigger players who can skate and score too and not relying on the twins all the time, it was a no brainer picking up a bigger version of Burr that can out muscle a lot of guys to the puck to feed the Sedins to do their magic is totally when the Twins score and the bonus is that Sutter is no wimp and is under valued for that role here and hence Benning signed him for the long run. Enter Bo (MG's best trade) which will get better as he matures playing with Vrbata and not to mention McCann, Baertschi, and or Virtanen who fit quicker bigger 2nd line roles who will even get better with every game of experience learning from being on a line with a true sniper. This even leaves out Cassels who has power forward material = to Virtanen Third line? Are you kidding? arguably one the fastest in the league and wow if the goal by the dane who has seemed to have rounded out his game playing with Burr who has great wheels and can really score plus Higgins who is the epitomy of a 3rd line speedster and all 3 together again the top lines of other team that can really forecheck and stay with the superstars when needed is what helps win against the top tier teams. 4th line is not only tough but can actually score and that is something that makes a very good team to a great team, This team against Calgary last season would have been in the 2nd round!

You've seen this team play 1 regular season game. There's optimism and then there's ...well... this. I'm actually toying with the idea that your post might actually be sarcasm.

Gaudette Celly Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Canucks Curse, on 10 Oct 2015 - 10:50 AM, said: I'm hoping you were simply too caught up in the moment to realize what "Canucks Curse" said!

clutesi Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It's the first game, but Lucic looked like la looked - frustrated and entitled resting on the laurels of their reputation as a good team - it's very possible la and Lucic have another off year, although my preference would be for him to have an awesone year and then sign with us even if it's for like 7 mill as long as he earns it Lucic is the opposite of what we need. He's slow, has no hands, or vision. He makes bad decisions and his punk antics are an embarrassment. He's not even that great a fighter. He's already cost LA a game and he's just starting the season. The worst top six addition I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOOMUCHINTERNET Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Probably. Great year or not, I'd still feel if he signs here for long term at $7mil per. I'd be down for 7 mill and two years or more like 5.5 for 4-5. thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
