Last year for the month of October the Canucks had 14 points, this year they also have 14 points....just food for thought.

7-3-0 vs 5-2-4

Too many loser points though...gotta fix that.

No.
About how bad he is.

Ducks next 5 games are huge. They could be knocked out of a PO spot. Nsh , Fla, CBJ SJ Ara.

They would need to be one of the best teams to recover 10 points over the 8 th place Hawks 10 th place Sharks

Sedins are in a slump . Wait until they get going . They can slump all year as long as we make the playoffs and they come alive.

They are playing decent just not burying the puck yet.

And under Torts they were 9-5-1 in Oct.

It's a totally different format now though…it's not comparable IMO. There was just enough time and space for the Canucks to be very successful at 4 on 4 but to much time and space for them to now be successful at 3 on 3.

If Willie continues to put the older players out there to try and defend against the speed of most other teams, the Canucks are going to continue to lose 3 on 3….just my opinion.

That's a lot of games hey, compacted schedule makes a huge difference. Everything that could go wrong did that year. Thankfully….because it got us Jake "Big Country" Virtanen.

And it got Kesler to want out which gave us McCann, Sbisa, and Bonino who with Bieksa got us Sutter.

Benning sucks

Haha…too late, the team has already coined him "Big Country"

I wonder how Nucker feels about Bob Murray right now?

Last year he said he was brilliant, best GM in the league, this year….not so much.

They need to rethink their 3 0n 3. Sedins and Edler should be out against the top pair and try to maintain puck possession for about a minute. Then send out Horvat Hansen and Hutton followed by McCann and JV with Tanev Then Sutter Vrbata and Hamhuis when healthy. Repeat for 5 minutes

I knew I didn't like him

Too many bad memories with that name , plus the kid hasn't earned the right yet to any nickname

Two regulation losses in 11 games is pretty good in my books.

We also had a killer December under Torts. I think we were 3rd in the conference heading into January and the injury bug hit us hard. At one point in Jan/Feb under Torts we had 8 starters out of the lineup. As hard as Torts gets hit in the forums it wasn't all his fault...

We should actually thank him for McCann and Sutter/Sbisa and take that 2nd rounder and run...
