I hope for your sake the bottom finally does fall out from them or you will will be upset all summer.

I do think they lose tonight

I just not willing to call success or failure half way through the season. I'll have quite a happy summer if the Canucks end up having a successful season, I'm just not going to start celebrating in late December.

There was little to be encouraged about at the beginning of the season. No one had any idea that Pettersson would be this good.
Also, look at the calendar. The season ends in April.

good game tonight for the Nucks to see if they can keep up , prime time for EP to put on a show , and Shotgun to have a good game

I thought they were gonna be slightly worse than last year but the Pettersson factor proved me wrong, happily wrong. I'm now predicting they finish 13th last, just out of the playoffs, if they (Petey, Horvat, Boeser) stay healthy.

We're dealing with half narratives now.

You already called a failure at training camp. Your said this will be the worst team ever , so why can't I be excited half way through the year?

Doesn't matter Mar. You were predicting in October we are enjoying in December. No difference.

Nothing wrong with thinking the team will be sh1tty in October or thinking the year was a success already in December . Same thing.

I believe I guessed 6th last but that was assuming EP was going to be a 55 point winger this year, not a PPG+ 1st line center. I think they'll end up around 10th last, give or take a spot.

You thought the team would be crap too at training camp , but it is okay. Things change. Who cares?

That's where I think too but we will finish ahead of Oilers

Need some lotto luck this year.

5-2 Flames 2 empty net goals.

1st period at the game is done . utenen seems to only get neutral and defensive zone starts. Super reliable. Reminds me of duncan Keith the way he skates. Kakko is as advertised, seems a cut above the rest.

I don't think anyone could've, or did, predicted how good Pettersson would be. He's totally changed the team dynamics, they're now a two line team....well 1.5 line team

Afternoon gentlemen! Should be a excellent game tonight! 2 of the hottest teams as of late. Canucks never make it easy as they play well vs the Flames. Sven being back should help.... maybe, depending on how much work he could put in while injured.
Hoping Tkachuk acts up a bit after taking some subtle criticism from the coach these past few days. Regardless I would expect an emotional game. Good luck!

I just want to see Rousell crosscheck Tkachuk in the mouth...don't give a sh!t about win/loss just want to see that happen.

i just saw that out of the bottom 16 league wide as of tonight the Canucks and Ott have the most goals for

You'll be in full pom-pom mode by January's end champ.

It is not only Pettersson though. There is a list of improvements that have been mentioned.

When Petey was out we went 3-3 a 500 club, exactly where we are now.

You already called a failure at training camp. Your said this will be the worst team ever , so why can't I be excited half way through the year?

Fill your boots. I like to throw a little water on the cheerleading practice from time to time.

The only reason you are a cheerleader is because you like to wear mini skirts.
