Screw you tankers, I never doubted this team. 

Perhaps I've misunderstood some of your posts but I thought you doubted almost everything about this team?  Regardless, I clink a virtual glass with you and cheer loudly as tonight is a very entertaining game.  Hopeful it's a positive sign of things to come as the team gains more confidence, structures are better understood by the newbies and success breeds success.

So why can't  Horvat be a #1 center. The kid does it all at speed. Give him some wingers that can keep up and he is the #1 right now

I agree.  He seems to thrive in games with this kid of pace where it is obvious our 2/3 of our top line struggle to keep up to the pace. He is earning a promotion and I hope WD starts to make the transition soon.

Ok Skippy, why don't you reign it in a bit? IF we win the game it puts us at bottom 5 in the league.. maybe you should hold off on naming Bo Captain and engraving his name on the Stanley Cup (or your forehead)

 

Deep breaths bud, deep breaths

1. Where did I say we're wining the cup don't put words in my mouth and learn to read

 

2. If you don't think Bo is the next captain well you're likely one of the 1 persons in the city who watch this team who think that

 

Move along little man troll. Go find attention elsewhere 

[TheSnipeshow91]

Bo's going to win a selke one day.

 Eriksson's best game from what I am seeing.  He looks engaged and more creative than he has so far this season. 

And he maintains the same level of play regardless of linemates. Vrbata should take notes. 

[SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME]

So before the puck dropped, they were talking about the transition to Markstrom in the starter's role. After 40, the panel is praising the Canucks' young defense.

 

Almost sounds like they're talking about a team that's being rebuilt. Hmm...

 

Nah, couldn't be.

Sure, they are gelling.

 

But burrows isn't 'passing the torch'... I think Bo has a higher ceiling than that

nothing at all wrong

with having a career like burrows had

he came from no where

and was almost elite caliber for 3 years or so

bo has not reached that stature yet

He scores in front of the net. Willie should take notes.

I've been hard on LE but his history of slow starts is well documented.  Rather have him start slow and build up to being great and stay there than Vrbata who came out strong and then folded like a cheap tent.  DOn't expect LE to disappear in the playoffs either.

Most definitely. His confidence seems to be growing. Great to see.

[Vinny in Vancouver]

In the second intermission interview, did I hear Seabrook just say, "They (Vancouver) are a good team and can put pucks in net." Either Brent needs to get checked for a concussion or my hearing needs to get checked."
