Roberts Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Get the playoff towels ready! [2017-10-22] But seriously, they're doing a fine job so far, few shaky games but I think TG will be good for them. Surprised how good Vegas is doing though.. [2017-12-04 Update] Still clinging on to that playoff spot, shocking how close it is with 3 teams tied at 29 points with Canucks at 30 in the last spot. Note that I do not constantly update this, so the standings you see are probably outdated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Way too early to make any predictions. I still somewhat expect them to finish in the bottom 5. Playoffs would take a miracle. Its a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The Canucks were also 4-3-1 last season after eight games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloodycanuckleheads Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 The schedule-maker gifted us a really easy first few months. And, what they did for Vegas is absolutely insane. Their schedule is even easier than our's. The NHL Schedule-maker probably didn't want either team eliminated in November... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baer. Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Didnt think I'd see a thread like this before November. 1 game over .500 isn't really cause for celebration... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtieCanuck Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 If they do make it into the playoffs, that will mean goaltending has done a complete 180 turn. This team has the talent to at least fight to squeeze into the playoffs but it still has to be executed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Cup or bust! I think this team should easily slip in on one of the wildcard spots at the very least. Hopefully higher... 2nd or 1st in the division should be within reach if things go right and we stay healthy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberts Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 Actually here's a screenshot I took from last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taskicon Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 We do have the same record as last season at this point but the team has looked way different. Last year we squeaked by and got lucking winning a bunch of games by 1 goal. This year we have dominated 4 games and looked good in all but the Boston game. I think we are in much better shape even with the same record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like what I see so far but it's far too early to make claims like those. Let's at least wait until the quarter season mark. We should have a pretty good idea of our team by then.

BCNeil Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Standings are funny this time of year. I don't think any of the current top 3 in the division will make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ducks' injured reserve currently includes Getzlaf, Kesler, Fowler, Lindholm, Vatanen, and Eaves. Not exactly shocking that they don't have a great record right now.

Phil_314 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Surprised to see such strong depth contributors (Dorsett tied for the team lead in points, Nilsson looks like a solid signing/ potential starter, Burmistrov and Vanek have looked solid and versatile, plus good showings from Boeser, and hopefully see more from Jake, Bo and Sven who hopefully heat up after tonight's showing). Still early, and hope we can do a Sens-style wild-card entry, draft well and remain competitive while restocking. Hope the tank days are over? (Could be if Pettersson shows real promise and Demko takes over in the cage, then we'd look pretty good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
