Jake was slotting in with petey and boeser in practice yesterday.

I recorded and just watched that TSN Season Preview they aired last night. Of course they boasted about the Leafs, thinking their off season moves were genius. When it got to the Canucks, the panel really gave them little chance of making the playoffs this season, saying the loss of Markstrom and Tanev are too great. Button even said that Stecher and Schmidt are basically the same player, so not really an upgrade. They gave Hamonic zero credit. I'm not sure why I even bothered to watch, same ignorance from TSN every year.

In losing the rights TSN has shifted to catering to Laffs nation & fully embracing their role as the Toronto Sports Network. 

 

Schmidt is barely an upgrade but I'm sure TJ Brodie was a surefire top pair D.

So... I don't have the cables... if anyone knows of safe ways to watch the game and could PM me I would be very greatful.

TSN is a joke the only reason I have it is because it comes with my sports package and the only time I ever turn it on is WJC

TSN did their mock draft, and O'Neil took Hughes with his 3rd or 4th pick. Then he said "I can't believe I got Quinn Hughes!" lol He was saying he thinks he may be the best Dman in the league this year. A rare moment of VAN love from the east.

Virtanen. - and Big Mac takes his place on Gaud's line

I'll take flak for this, but I'd think outside the box with miller out if/when jake struggles on that line. for the sake of the 3 or 4 games, I'd move bo up to play left wing on the top line since he's the most similar player to miller and move gaudette up to 2c, sutter up to 3c.

I am really curious to see how our goaltending tandem will perform this season. Holtby's performance last season was desastrous with a SV below 0.900. Demko*s play was shaky once Marktstrom got injured in December 2019 / January 2020 and Demko was forced to take over the starter role. I recall that Demko had some tough nights on the road in January 2020 ( Montreal, Toronto).

Expect the goaltending to be significantly weaker than last season. D corps should be significantly better with the addtion of two veteran player's like Harmonic and especially Schmidt.

It’s brutal. I’m working from home so no commute but still hard. When the Canucks are on the east coast I will look forward to the (comparatively)earlier face offs 

 

glad I changed jobs and don’t have the 6am starts any more

The only great thing about covid19 is that I've been put on temporary leave. Meaning 4am starts are fine. Combine that with my newborn daughter who likes to wake up at that time, the timing couldn't be better. I'm looking forward to my 2 month old learning about hockey! I hope the canucks deliver for her first game

[Apples]

Go Canucks Go!!

[Devron]

Im sure Miller is pretty bummed about not playing. I bet he’ll play like he’s been shot out of a cannon when he returns 

[We_Are_All_Canucks_4_life]

So excited to watch hockey again. Hopefully we come out strong and get the win.

[Rollieo Del Fuego]

Sucks to have Milsy out...but....

 

I feel we have a stronger team than last year...our D. is way more balanced and the top 4 are just as good as last year while the 3rd pairing is going to be better by a long shot come mid-season...

Our goaltending is probably just as good or better with Demko improving and Holtby working with Ian should equal a bounce back season....

 

Our forward depth is better with the young guys getting better and Hog's arriving...

 

EP, QH, JV, ZM, BB and even the already great BH will all be better again this year...some by a good bit (JV looks primed for a big year and so does BB and QH)

 

TSN can apologize after the cup run we make....!
