Two cores in a row with Lady Bing like players minus the slashing, is enough in my mind. I hope Pettersson and Dahlen turn out awesome, but I also hope Horvat or other similar leader gets the C. You never know with these guys, someone could come out of the wood work and take it over too, it wouldn't surprise me if we have three alternates for a while after Henrik moves on too, just to avoid rushing it. Some teams used to vote their captains in by putting names in a hat...I'd be fine with that, often it's not who you think it would be but you know that players are behind the guy using this method. If Guddy for example broke out and added an offensive aspect to his game and became a Prongeresque player he would be a good candidate. If Brisebois can play in the NHL and excells he would also be a good candidate for an A. Always hear good stuff about him, the teams he's captained love the guy.

cyoung Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm excited to see this team potentially fight for a playoff spot. Sedins seem eager to go out with a bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters Stoch Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 With all the hype around the upcoming draft prospects, I feel like we might finally be able to get an elite prospect this year without needing to win the lottery that we'll NEVER win thanks to the worst team of the past decade (Oilers ).

189lb enforcers? Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hopefully our next pick is Shanny or Pronger 2.0. Then find the next Bure or Selanne. Freaking Kevin Lowe and his idiot staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A PPRD is even more specific. Can see OJ on the LD with a PP-RD, excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_theRyper Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 So much excitement its keeping me up at night almost. To watch hockey games with my 2.5 year old son must take the cake, last year he was really into it but the last year he's become fully hockey addicted. 1. Replacing Megna with Vanek on the first pp unit 2. Chaput being replaced by Gagner 3. Del Zotto on the point doesnt hurt lol hope he has a good season 4. Boeser scoring 20+ goals and Bo cashing in on those assits 5. Virtanen proving the nay sayers wrong! 6. Fingers crossed for our two goalies kinda though 7. Sedins having the best season of their last 5 or so. Im calling it now 65+ points. CrCking 70 maybe even. 8. Bo being handed a new jersey after their last game, from two legends on ice infront of 20,000 screaming fans ... With an extra letter on it...:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKnight Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Rasmus Dahlin or Ryan Merkley. Im very excited in our direction, but one more good draft/ offseason and this team is on its way for sustainable success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standing_Tall#37 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm looking forward to seeing the Canucks Ice 7 forward lines and 5-D pairings once all the players cdc wants to make it.... make it. Yaaaaay! Every player in the organization makes it! (Except for our top 5 picks... we have to develop those for 5-10years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davathor Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm looking forward to Virtanen scoring 70 points and 500pims in won fights, sedins 120 point resurgence, Vaneks 50 goals and Erikssons demotion to the AHL. I only think one of these will happen however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised if he becomes our leading scorer, if he's healthy it's all but a gaurantee, pp sixty he's in elite company. Plus he isn't done yet, and is playing for a bigger payday next year.

Chris12345 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 A cold snowy day combined with multipe driveway shovels (I hate winter) and a day of skiiing while going to the store to get fresh meat. Coming home and making a stew at 2pm and slow cooking it to be ready at 530. Killing a bunch of buds and eatting dinner while watching the laughs lose to the Habs. Que the music.....the Canucks are playing the Oilers and I've just opened a bottle of Laphroaig...... In other words I like my Saturday nights.

RakuRaku Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I'm just really excited to see a much deeper team compared to last few seasons! It really doesn't matter if it's gonna be Goldobin and Boeser or Gagner and Vanek, Gaunce and Dorsett or Upshall/White/Burmistrov.... we finally care who's on the scoresheet once again! No more Megna/Chaput/Biega.... just pure NHL talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but for the first time in a long time, I'm not excited at all for the season. Maybe if they play well every game, my attitude will change. You were excited for last year but not this year? That doesn't make any sense to me. I'm stoked for the season to start. There's so much to look forward to IMO. Personally, I don't really care about Daniel reaching 1000 points. Sure, it's an amazing milestone but barring a horrific injury, we all know it's going to happen. I'm looking forward to the unknowns, something we have no shortage of. Can Bo, Baer, Granlund take the next step? Will Boeser or Goldobin establish themselves as legit NHL scoring threats? Will Stetcher and Hutton become legit top 4 defensemen? Will Gudbranson bounce back and have a big year? Will Brendan Gaunce score a goal?! Haha I say that tongue in cheek - of course he will! What will become of the wildcard that is Rodin? How will our UFA signings fair? Will Marky take the reigns and become a true # 1 goalie? How will the players react to Travis Green and is 'real good' in his vocabulary? What about Griffen Molino? It's only been a couple prospect games but damn does he ever look good. How will the prospects fair in Utica? Will the Green Men make a return? Ok I don't really care about that one. But there's so much going on this year. More than in recent memory. I'm pumped!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derp... Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The powerplay looking like a powerplay again. I cant wait for that. Also our Defence to score more than 15 goals combined or what ever it was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
