They've been playing great, but it's sooooo early in the season and they're just starting to click. I honestly feel like we're contenders starting this year. We're only going to get better and better, and we finally have a ton of depth to go deep, something that lots of other teams (i.e. edmonton) just don't have. We're a complete team in all areas with crazy depth, an awesome coach, and an amazing team culture of buy-in and compete. This 50th anniversary is fixin up to be a doozy! I kinda feel like our team is like Vegas first year. Everyone kinda doubts but they just keep surprising until bam! They in the SCF. We kinda play the same game too. Fast, great forcheck, balanced attack and great goaltending. Big difference is we seem to have a generational talent in Pettersson and possibly Hughes aswell. Not to mention two stars in Horvat and Brock. Demko looks like he could be an elite goalie starting this season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep thinking we're years away because historically it takes years like it did with the Sedin era, but this group is full of elite talent, and they're already showing their potential to start the year. The secret weapon is total buy-in like Vegas, and we have that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive said it before that there are 3 players in the NHL right now that are generational which are Crosby, Ovechkin and McDavid. As much as I love Pettersson, I couldnt even say he is a generational talent. That proves how much of a special player you need to be to be called a generational talent. And Hughes is nowhere close to that level. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Hughes is nowhere close to that level. I would have to agree, they would have been clearcut 1OA draft picks if they were to be labeled a generational player so early in their career. Neither Pettersson nor Hughes were viewed as a 1 or 2 overall choice. Pettersson is indeed elite, Hughes still has 60+ games to really show where he stands in the ranks amongst dmen. However that does not mean they cannot develop and become a generational player. Crosby and Ovechkin were over 100 points in their rookie years. McDavid suffered huge injury in his first year. He could have very well been the first rookie to win the scoring race if if wasnt for that shoulder injury. Backstrom, Malkin, Kane and Kucherov dont have a “generational” label, but they are without a doubt elite players. Do not get me wrong either, I absolutely love Pettersson and Hughes and believe they are very special players. But generational is not quite what I would label them yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Pettersson gets 90+ this year he is generational. If not then neither is mcdavid. Mcdavid first year was 46 points. Point per game.

Pettersson on pace for 117 pts this season. “If” (big if) that holds up he is indeed generational. Hughes rookie season on pace for 60 pts. “If” he continues that pace he would be placed among the all time best rookie defensemen starts. Both tbh I can see happening but it is a long shot. Both I can see continuing their career getting better. So I can definitely see generational talent potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually called him on his BS on twitter the other day and managed to get a response out of him. He was talking sh!t about how no other team was willing to offer Ferland a 4th year. It was classic JD taking another jab at Benning, even in a season where just about everything has gone perfect for us. Here's the screenshots. In true JD fashion, he doubles down on his horrible takes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapshot85 Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Hughes on over a 60 pt pace Not bad for a rookie d... or any d for that matter. I'm sure that would put him top 5 in league last season Just sayin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcdavid first year was 46 points. Point per game. As an 18 year old straight from the draft to the NHL. And let’s be honest - McDavid has been voted the best player in the game by his peers two years in a row and a finalist again last year, plus and Art Ross as a 20-21 year old. It’s a bit silly to be comparing EP with McDavid - I agree with the poster your answering too - only Crosby, Ovi (both scored over 100 points first year) and McDavid are considered generational - as in once every generation. Would love to be able to add EP to that list - but if Kane and Kucherov aren’t on it ... he’s got a fair ways to go yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took kucherov 5 seasons. So I agree not generational but if kucherov continues from now on then yes. EP second season in and could possibly hit 100. If he hits.. could be generational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he hits.. could be generational lol EP is a great superstar.. generational talent? homerism much? draisaitl is on pace for 150 points this season and he's not even considered a generational talent lol. while we are bragging we won the 2017 draft with EP.. Colorado would like to beg to differ.. If anything Cale Makar is closer to a generational talent than EP.. more than a PPG as a rookie defenseman? that's unheard of.. since 2000 there's only 4 players that averaged 1 point per game as a defencemen and he's on pace to avg more than that as a rookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when the Sedins were playing, our Canucks never got the respect they deserved, 2 total gentlemen,future HALL OF FAMER'S and 1000 point players,NO LESS. I for one will brag about our team, because they deserve it, with stellar play and with some luck and perseverance we can win our first STANLEY CUP,won't that be great for all of B.C. Uhhh. why would the hockey writers brag about a team that hasn’t won a playoff series since May 2011 and has played in one playoff series in the last going on seven years, and it was five seasons ago in A Loss. weve had four different coaches in that time. You can brag about the Canucks all you want but even this year we’ve lost more then we’ve won, id rather brag when we got something to brag about or else it’s silly.

The Athletics actually have more good to say about the Canucks than CDC has to say about them I don't understand the wrap they get here. They put out amazing in depth articles that crush the haters and temper all the homers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
