With lots of people having low expectations this season, you can't really be disappointed ;)

in that case, gillis is a genius! especially when we get tavaressss! lol

canucks this year reminds me of buffalo sabres 06

i still think Gillis is a retard not bringing in another top 6 forward before the season starts...stupid head Gillis....either way GO CANUCKS GO

Toronto will get him

i was kidding. i really don't see the canucks going lower then 10th, not with luongo in net. that being said, i think it was just bad luck that caused us to miss the playoffs last season and i think we'll make it this year.

so how's brunnstrom doing?

lol i dont know, drafted him though in my fantasy pool

doesnt look like brunnstrom has played a game yet

pre-season momentum never carries over. Because when the A team comes out. our A team is not a match.

he played sunday night.

18 shifts, 13:32, 1 shot.

thanks. his stats weren't posted up on dallas's page yet.

no
gillis will be great when he can sign the sedins/ohlund/burrows/kesler/lu to long term contracts

We were playing Anaheim's last night.

Most of Anaheim's A team, in fact.

Well, it wasn't Anaheim's "A" goalie, that's for sure.

our 'A' goalie wasn't quite playing either?

then again neither was ours

yeah but our B goalie owns their B goalie.
lol

Realistically, it's too hard to judge anything yet.
When games don't give out some sort of meaningful statistic, you can only ponder whether some players were trying to the absolute fullest or not, whether the coaches were juggling lines or not, whether players were trying certain things on the ice they would not in more meaningful games, etc.

Definately the ones battling for a roster spot are working hard, and some intense moments with the scrapping, but still, I wouldn't use exhibition games to base anything yet.

That wasn't even their B goalie... that might have been their D goalie.

Brunnstrom also played last Thursday, got 2 Assists with 16:58 of ice time, playing with Morrow and Ribeiro.




Heard Wellwood reached "acceptable" fitness levels today and lost 8lbs since last time.

Well that's pretty sad then. lol

But it's good that Canucks special teams are working.


That's good news, because Canucks can definately use his skill. Hope he continues to work hard.

My lines:

Sedin Sedin Bernier
Demitra Wellwood Pyatt
Raymond Kesler Hansen
Burrows Johnson Hordichuck
Krog/Pettinger

Ohlund Edler
Mitchell Bieksa
Salo Krajicek
Davison

Luongo
Sanford

Wellwood should be on the team but he is most effective on the 2nd line, not sure about the third line playing with Kesler.
Hodgson, Rypien, Brown, Nycholat get sent down
Cowan on waivers?

they won't put raymond and hansen on the same line just to much inexperiance.
