Yes, I do like a good dump in the morning.

It's a bit concerning that a new coach, who is somewhat oblivious to the history of these prospects/players, withholds Goldobin to the 2nd fewest ice time out of all the Canucks. I am not sure if it is due to his play, or he is just getting missed, but Cull and Green seem to reward players with more ice time based on how they think they are playing.

Yeah I noticed a few things like that, Subban and Holm seemed to miss a lot of time during one stretch, either at the end of the 1st or beginning of 2nd. But I admit, I don't know the TOI minutes from the game. In my mind Boeser was the most consistent player on the ice, he's really strong on puck possession, hockey IQ is very high. I also thot, Versteeg was awesome throughout the game. I thot Virtanen wasnt as physical last night, but he backchecked hard his goal was beautiful and even the goal he scored that was waived off due to the delayed penalty was unreal.

I found the Van/Cal game more exciting than the China one. Pace was obviously much different. However, watching Tanev, Del Zotto, Edler and Guddy was light years better than the kids trying to defend. On the forward side of things, I thot the kids, mainly Boeser, MacEwen and Goldy really showed great movement and not such a predictable PP. I also found once MacEwen and Archibald were put together in the 2nd, they reeked a lot of havoc on the forecheck, could be a great combo in Utica this year. Rodin was pretty much invisible, Goldy didn't touch the puck that much but when he did, he seemed to always make something happen.

Go figure. It's the kids. You just can't help routing for them regardless of their skill level.

Having a roster full of rookies is a legit way of keeping fans interested through a tough rebuild.

Yes, Linden should stick to what he was hired for. To stand there and look pretty.

Not to start a hysteria train, but I know half of us were worried about Demko bailing on signing after his college years, then we went through the same worry with Boeser, and we have done a pretty good job and tempering our expectation with Gaudette and Lockwood. I don't think I have been more concerned about a player exercising his right to not sign with a team, more than I am with Gaudette. I follow the kid on Social media and he is as patriotic as they come, and he loves Bostons sports franchises more than your average fan. I don't follow Brad Marchand on twitter, or any of the Bruins media bloggers/posters, but am constantly getting notifications due to Gaudette liking and retweeting. Like I said before, I never really hopped on the hysteria train with Boeser/Demko, but I do think IF we were ever going to lose one to the NCAA rule, it MIGHT be Gaudette.

I would rank Gaudette in the top 5 of the Canucks prospects. Kid is a gamer.

hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Just a feeling but does anyone else get the impression Nilsson will be the starter 25 games in?


- LordHumungous

Hope so. All the give Marky a chance folks will realize he's nothing special:

Stukel to Calgary hitmen.

Moynihan, Cedarholm and Stewart to Utica (ECHL eventually)

The Calgary game was fun to watch and Shanghai was, well, interesting...
