Whose goal tending will be worse ? Ours or yours?
- VANTEL

If they go with Smith I'd say theirs

This team is likable without Vanek Eriksson and the brothers

I was a bit surprised to be honest. Calgary must be concerned about the Comets besting their NHL roster.

They lost to the comets a few times last season and still made the playoffs 😝

Anyone know if Juolevi is still at camp?
- Reubenkincade

He is. I saw him in his suit tonight as I got to the rink.

I heard that he's expected to play Saturday...we shall see...

I don't "change" my mind on anything. I had mentioned that if Virtanen is going to play 4th line minutes with no playmaker, I'd rather him play in Utica. Right now he is playing with 2 playmakers.

Unfortunately, Henrik, Daniel, Vanek, Eriksson, Horvat are not in this game.

I like the Dorsett, Sutter, Archibald line tonight.

I also do not miss Hutton.

So did I, they played well tonight.

Thanks Carol, I believe it is great experience for him. Hope he has a great season wherever he ends up.

with each passing game it becomes more apparent that willie was not great
- BobBot

This.

I really expected him to adapt better when it was obvious his ass was on the line.

He is right they did play good, tough decisions ahead.

We don't get many Canuck games over here, I wouldn't know, I'm heading home to the island Sunday for a few weeks though.
- LeftCoaster

That's good news, I know howoming home from extended assignments feels, enjoy every minute Lefty.

DHAliwal reporting Jim has asked about Anderson. Would love this, we'd be set at RW for the foreseeable future

I'm down for Josh but what do we offer?

Its very difficult imo

Scottie Upshall literally signed a free ticket to china and then waltzed to st. louis like boss. So awesome.

With an early exit & in goal its not looking stellar this year. Smith is fine but getting too much hype. He is not the answer.

A known quantity there but still a plug when its all said & done.

They could use some 1st line talent as well.

Hello Carol 👋

Tyvm for all your great blogs👍

I can see a big rivalry brewing sooner than later starting up again against the Flames

They went from having no business playing any games against the ducks in any of the 5 Games to being the better team in probably all 4 last year ...felt like progress to me

I think the hype isn't really there for smith ...he's a starting goalie ...he will be fine

Our current roster...

https://www.nhl.com/canucks/roster

Who stays who goes?

I see Chaput Megna Rodin in Utica
On D its Weircioch & Biega.
OJ to Finland.
Toss up for Holm & Pedan as the 7th D

Preseason loss to the Canucks ...probably should just pull the bandaid and start the rebuild

Usually those happen after multiple playoff series

A rebuild usually happens after you actually had something to begin with.

With St. Louis desperate for forwards who can score, I wonder if they are enquiring about Vanek?
Why wait til tdl, dump him now while his value is high, maybe we can get a 3rd for him.

Thats a good take bud

- Reubenkincade

And sometimes you go from having something to having nothing for years before finally deciding to rebuild
