Give me something tonight, fellas. 

I thought that was you in the corner, and in the spotlight....you're looking good my friend!

Fair enough. But I'd argue Motte is a much more complete player than any of those guys. I'd at least try him on the 3rd line. He can put the puck in the net.

You mean do nothing Rousell would have to go for a taxi ride ?

Good-looking? That wasn't me either unfortunately.

if we had somehow kept Markstrom and Tanev and gave them what Calgary gave them. then probably in a few years everyone would be blaming JB for signing them for long contracts. lets face it , last season Tanev played without an injury which was about time since almost every year he got injured. as for Marky, he he could only play so many games in a row and then he was tired and then he played awful or he got injured, look at the playoffs , he got injured and Demko took over, he was the best goalie in the nhl. many on here wanted Markstrom gone because of that. give Demko a chance! and the team

I agree that long term this was the best call - hopefully this was rock bottom and we start heading back in the right direction starting tonight!

Anybody else feel that the puck is bouncing around way more than usual at the Van home games? I’ve never seen Petey and JT have this much difficulty before

[VegasCanuck]

Heard they are bringing in a new Assistant Coach. Little Asian guy named Wyn Wan Ho

How many penalties will be called in this game?

Yeah, not much in the way of top end talent, but that forward group is deep. Galchenyuk ans Stepan on the 4th line is something

I'm surprised Brannstrom has not been able to make the jump full-time yet.  He would add top end offensive talent to their D corps but I suspect it's his D play that is keeping him from making the jump.

They’ve been drafting top 5 and rebuild for awhile.   I wonder how many of these top 5 picks will stay after there elc are done ?

I would almost bet on that.

A goalie is the glaring hole in your core. It's supposed to be Demko on the list too.

 

I think this season is Demko's last opportunity to show that he deserves to be protected in the SEA expansion draft and is the goalie of the future here. It hasn't been a good start to the season for him but the losses are largely not due to bad goaltending...he has some serious work to do IMO.

 

Let’s not forget that Marky was waiver fodder at Demko’s age. 

[Rick_theRyper]

Little more focus on Defense..

people were calling him a bust, too.

 

patience isn't a strength around here.

I think the point is Rooster is making no impact. Doesn’t take draws, is not hitting, scoring, or bringing much in energy - maybe some pk prowess in killing penalties. @AbrasiveAjax essentially what I would love is Green to play people who bring it. Gaud arguably plays hard every shift- hits, has points, and looks involved. Schaller and those of his “veteran” ilk just coast IMO. 

I don't buy into what your suggesting 100% but i hear you. But play who? 

Unfortunately we don't have allot of options.  

Untill our prospects develop, or we make a trade, right now he have veterns in the bottom 6.

Personally IMHO, i dont see the coasting from them that you implied. 

Sutter, Beagle, Rooster, Motte all seem to give their best, their best...........

As per Gaud, he needs to play and build his defensive game

Go canucks go

Yeah its amazing how people overreact to a 2-5 start to a 56 game season with each game being a “4 point game”
