Beary Sweet Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 what a thrilling start to the year. we faced adversity in both games but we managed to fight back and get something out of it. probably won't be able to catch this one tonight since it's my brother's birthday. hope y'all have fun and here's hoping we get another W! 3-2 Canucks win.

Popular Post -DLC- Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 Despite the complainers, getting wins and points does a whole lot to gel a team. These are important points out of the gate, as we all know. In not having Petey and Quinn through camp, obviously there's some tinkering to be done to find the best fit for everyone. Sometimes natural chemistry is there that you can tap in to. I'm excited that we have so many exciting players TO strategize with. I am so impressed with Hoglander...he's been a real stand out to me. I love Garland's energy....never say die. He's got that Burr like quality of just giving it his all and that'll matter in games we're losing a whole lot. That's when that energy really can count. Podz is going to be a real treat...but let him ease in and savour the victories (like his first goal). Glad Petey and Quinn are showing their confidence. Miller's our leading point getter so far (4 points in two games). His "attitude" is simply him wearing his heart on his sleeve. Sure, he gives up on some plays if they go sideways on him, but he doesn't give up on the game. That's important. Demko's showing why we made the right decision with him. OEL's so impressive to me...totally on board. It's really fun to be a Canucks fan right now....not sure why we have so many naysayers (already). 10 1 5 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams gel on and off the ice. Last season was a disaster for team morale as all the normal bonding gained by trips were mostly lost due to Covid. Hughes enjoys a birthday on the road with many of his team mates. Sounds simplistic but it means a lot. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Might be ugly after a back-to-back but let's see what Halak can bring to the table hopefully? We really need to defend better, can't keep giving up goals like this and here's a chance against an average team. 4-2 Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys have faced hell schedules and it's about pacing themselves and not burning out. Hard to get through an 82 game season as is. They earned a break.

Popular Post Devron Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 This team is gonna be a whole lot better this year. I still think there were more reasons last year why weren’t so good other then talent. We have even more talent now and I find it interesting that people are complaining about the silliest things now. Just look at our roster and tell me this isn’t a great team. I will laugh. Our forward group is deep hence the complaints about line combos for some people. These are good things to be excited about. Like imagine complaining Hoglander isn’t in the top 6 for example. Just proves the depth and we have options now. OEL is a no.1 defencemen and we have a no.1 offensive defencemen in Hughes. I like Hughes overall game these 2 games too. He’s already broken up his share of plays in the D zone. Anyways looking forward to watching this game. It’s Detroit but still a second half of a back to back. Go Canucks Go. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nucker 67 Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 The Canucks look different. Faster. Better. Philly is no slouch, a playoff team. Canucks went into that hostile environment, got down 1-0 and then turned it on to win. Same with EDM, they're a tough team as well. It's very encouraging that they're as good as they are without Boeser and Hamonic. I've almost forgotten about Motte and Sutter. This is a good team. Love the new additions in OEL, Garland, Lammikko and Dickinson. Podkolzin will only get better as he gets more comfortable. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
