The upcoming Canucks season thread

[puckhead]

the way the sedins might be perceived aroound the league as soft defensively stemms fro the way vigneault utlized them

or the bazillion hooking penalties.

All I wanted from Fonzie was to get consistent EFFORT from the team, because that was sorely lacking from the latter part of the AV years. If we didn't out-skill a team significantly, we were toast.
So far, even with the bandaid line-up, we have seen that effort. getting these ugly wins recently is a new experience.

In terms of bitchiness, he has had two 'outbursts' - one was turn your cell phone off, the other was show up on time.
but both seemed like reasonable requests, but both made full page columns of course.

as others have said, it's early. Let's see what happens if we lose 4 of 5.
but so far so good. he's abrupt in his praise and criticism. that's fine.

seems Brooksie is a bigger shitnugget than G-man (or whatever the fuck he calls himself)

His systeam just wears on players and after a few years it was starting to show with us, no guaranteeing it will happen with the Canucks. But it was becoming rather obvious with us and him basically ruining and running Gaborik out of town.

this morning Booth told the media scrum he was confident he would play sometime this road trip.
An hour later he was assigned to Utica for a conditioning stint.

God he used to make goalies look silly. Too much speed to deal with, and reckless abandon.

its amazing when you take a look back at how good he was. I did appreciate it at the time but its nice to revisit his talent.

Just 2 years ago with same personnel, Canucks had 24 PPG at the 20 game mark. This year they have 6

Call me crazy, but why is Hamhuis getting first PP time over Jason Garrison?

/Yes, I know Hammer scored a PP goal the other night, but c'mon, Garrison has a cannon.

Archibald sent down. Booth recalled
