  2. They have some issues, but they are definitely a lot better than what people have seen. Working out some kinks, and smoothing out the system with the new players. They may just heat up later in the season.

  3. Leafs should trade Tavares for Pettersson. Canucks will get a consistent player that can contribute, and Leafs could spark Pettersson's game with all the talent we have

  4. IMO, No. They are a slightly less talented team from last year given the players that they lost, and should finish the season slightly lower than they did last season. Despite some Pleasant Surprises in their lower ranks, and Quinn taking another step forward, the players who are carrying the load are the ones that are expected to. The Exception being Pettersson. I have really liked the way Petey has been, backchecking, making plays on the break, and in front of the net for many of their goals, Contributing, …BUT, this just shows that the coach isn't using him properly. He's a sniper, not J.T. Miller. For the number of shots he has, he should have more points, but as long as he's contributing, getting chances, and not being a liability, the coach is probably going to keep playing him in this hole.
    Getting Demko back would be nice, but seriously, how much better than Lankinen 'Could' he be playing right now. Thatcher doesn't need to rush back, so long as Kevin isn't costing us goals and games.

  10. I will say, we've had a pretty cushy start to the season. Not as many games and some pretty poop opponents, November looks chill as well. But the team has been doing well given Petey's offence is almost non existent and Demko has been out. That's not to mention missing Joshua who was such a major middle 6 player for us with his energy and physicality. If Petey can get it going and we get Demko at 80% of his powers I think the Canucks can do some real damage.

  20. Canucks lost by one goal in game 7 to the team that lost by one goal in game 7 for the cup. So basically, Canucks are 3 goals away from a championship.

  24. F no their not flying under the radar, a—hole , Canucks rung a bell and they need to answer, when people say “Nucks are good” they really mean that fan base is a whole bunch of a—holes challenging the entire nhl
