the defense was atrocious last game so at this point I'd honestly play both Biega and Hutton just to shake things up. If Green keeps playing Edler and Tanev 25 mins a night, 1 of them will eventually get injured too.



Brock looks injured, his wrist is still heavily taped

- Nucker101

Something is definitely off with him. Even his skating looks unimproved.

I’d take 80 more of those.

Edit: with a different crew calling the games.

- CubanBuffet

We need Lefty & Nucker calling the game. Lefty doing the play by play and Nucker the colour commentator.

Note: A number of junior failures have moved on a broadcaster career.

My cousin picked up his first electric guitar at 18. At 19, he formed a band with his 2 buddies. He just turned 20, and they just had his 1st song professionally recorded. It might not be my exact style of music, but think a few here would appreciate.

Not too bad. Kinda Black Keys meets Black Sabbath.

Good for them.

I think it's pressure, following up last year + contract year. EP getting all attention. Once he gets one they will start coming in better. A little low on confidence.

John Shannon


Arizona has yet to score this season...Shut out in Dallas and vs Anaheim..in fact didn't score in their last game last season...and in total haven't scored in last 10 regular season periods.

But Galchenyuk is so good

- VANTEL

The offence is designed around their newest player, I'm sure.

Sounds a little bit like ELP mid 70's, but maybe that's just word association on my part with EP on the brain.

Tell that to the pinheads saying Coyotes were going to be a good team. I have them pegged lower than Canucks

It's two games. They are the only team that could finish below us, but with 80 more games to go I think you might be counting your eggs.

It has been 2 games and 10 years but who is counting

I know you have the Canucks rated at the bottom because they did score only 10 goals in the preseason right?

Settle down Rueby . We were joking when comparing to Gretz

- VANTEL


The story about Shannon comparing him to Gretzky is bullpoop anyways. It has as much truth to it as our jokes. He literally said, let's not compare after only mentioning EP's shot. Media twists it right in front of people's eyes and they don't even recognize it. I've heard the misquote about 40 times in 48 hours now...lol

Always are strong indication of how the regular season will play out for most teams.

Is that any different than the people in here playing the I told you so because we scored 10 goals in the preseason ? It works both ways.

Hopefully its Edler that gets injured.

Brock may have secretly hurt himself in the Beauty League. Maybe...

- boonerbuck

I thought he looked better last night. This is what happens when you face the best shutdown line on the rival team... you don't look quite so hot. Backlund/Gio/Bordie made that line look pedestrian both games. EP took advantage of taking on Hanafin/stone both games. It is what it is.

I thought they only scored 5 goals and I'm not sure what your point is.

Lefty doing play by play.

"The Bust passes it to the other player Dim Jim shouldnt have drafted and the 2nd round pick we gave away in a trade shoots and hits the post. If Benning tore it all down years ago, that would of been post and in instead of post and out, as the puck is cleared down the ice!!!!!!"

I have them at the bottom because they have the worst goaltending tandem in the league and bottom 5 defence. I've mentioned secondary scoring will be a problem as well, but looking at this team and thinking they have only one issue is like trying to build a house in a month without pouring foundation.

I am basing my opinion of the Coyotes by what they did in the off season , and where they have stood last year. Not two games.

My point is both you and Neem made the comments that I am basing my opinion on two games and I am replying there were many people in here basing their opinion of the Canucks this year based on scoring 10 goals in 7 preseason games.

IMO preseason doesn't mean as much, but 2 games is also a pretty tiny sample. I don't think it's safe to say where any team/player is at yet. Just my opinion, regular season is a completely different lineup on both sides of the ice. I like what I've seen from the canucks so far, still see a bottom 5 team

I will give you the worst goal tending tandem that is a given. I am not sure about the 5 worst D . I need to see 20 games. Edler Tanev are good D . Stecher is having a good start .

All depends on what Hutton MDZ and Pouliot do this year.

I am not worried about scoring.

They could be bottom 5 they could also be bottom 10 . To me it comes down to what type of year Bo Brock and Sven have. Do we have one scoring line or two?
