We arent the quickest team. But my goodness, compared to last year, The entertainment value is ten fold better.

Not sure how times last year id just turn the game off, or not even turn it on to begin with.

anyone else having trouble on these boards?

Primary and Secondary scoring: check
Special Teams: check
Good goaltending: check
Defence: Meh
Faceoffs: check (just barely)

EXACTLY, last year wasn't entertainment it was torture.

Watching the game in PVR, in the third right now. Did Dorsett really just take Orpik's helmet off and hit him with it?

Hard to believe with that defense in front of him.

The Canucks have assets. They should look four a top 4 dman to trade for.

Or we could just re-sign AHLberts. Talk about Depth

Still only 8 games, hopefully Lidster can fix the inconsistency.

What ever happened t0o him? I thought he was still on the Canucks payroll but not expected to return due to concussion syndrome.

Finally it is fun to watch the Canucks again. Last year when they were down 1-nothing the game was basically done.

Defensive and system flukes will get less as the season goes on, hopefully.

This time of year it is too early to say about any team. The only two teams with a winning streak are MTL and LA. SJ lose one night to Buff and the next night beat ANA . Teams haven't found their strides yet . We are sitting so far exactly where we thought at the beginning of the year. 7-9 th every other game.

I know most are happy for the better hockey but to me 7 th to 9 th with no chance of winning is Hockey Standings Hell for me.

Hockey wise, not socially

It's purgatory, maybe. Hockey standings hell is when you are in a playoff spot at Christmas and then plummet down the standings.

Sbisa Winner

Looks odd, but those two words, in that order appear on the Canucks website.

I still can't get over that -5 from the other game. Terrible.

Not the smartest guy but has good wheels. Guess this is the best you can hope for, it is just there seems to be more boneheaded plays than heads up play. The good and the bad.

Is Corrado even going to see any game action before he gets sent down again?

Not looking that way.

Guessing Stanton is close to returning after WD said he was surprised he was back skating the other day. Weber comes out, Stanton back in and Corrado back to Utica. Hope it makes Corrado hungrier to play better to get his chance.

This sucks. Sbisa has been brutal and Weber brings no value to the team yet they keep getting the minutes while Corrado sits. I am not saying Corrada is better but give him a look to see what he can do. Especially after the game Sbisa had in Colorado. This positive reinforcement from WD is frustrating. Sometimes if a player has a bad game then he needs to sit in the press box to reflect on that bad game and not put back in the very next game to prove himself.
I am all for developing players but this is NHL and AHL. There is a lot of money on the line from Ownership to fans to be putting up this crap.

Listening to a little bit of the talking heads before puck drop and they were saying for forwards, only 6 goals have come from our bottom 6 and 2 of those were from Vey on the 1st unit pp. See a shake up coming there.

For d, I am not sure if part of bringing Corrado up is to have him practice and hangout with the big club? Who knows what goes through the mind of WD and management? I'd like to see Corrado in the lineup just to get a look.

So early in the season. Not sure if poor play is all on individual players or team systems? Benning is assessing what he has and we will see some trades when he has seen enough.
