I do like Dakota Joshua though, bright spot.
- VanHockeyGuy

Yes agree with D!ckinson and Lazar as 3-4LC Joshua has a shot to steal a spot. Big Centre.

All true...

As usual, Luke Schenn nails it:

“We need to have a little more poise with the puck in the D-zone. And when we don’t have the puck…we’re too soft.
“We need to figure out what hard-to-play-against means. That’s the only chance you have of winning in this league.”

Too bad that has to come from a fringe player instead of one of the 'leaders'.
Are the Canucks quiet quitting?

They need more grizzled vets, clearly, the young guys just don't want to work

Can't blame em, the Stanley Cup is so much harder to win than it was when there were only 6 teams.

100% You'd expect to hear that from the leadership of the team, whoever that is.

Oh definitely, even when you account for inflation.

As an aside, who knew Chuck Fletcher was so young?

Fletcher said he didn't go after Gaudreau because he would have had to move "multiple contracts" to get enough cap space. And that it would have been difficult. #Flyers

Think he's just quiet quitting on the Flyers

If Nil's b*tch is the best player you've got a big problem.

Hoping MIKHEYEV can sneak in 1 more preseason game? No panic yet lol I remember a few years back they won almost all pre-season games then crapped the bed lol

They must be resting for a deep playoff run....smart

On waivers today

Nothing too spectacular if on waivers already but enough time to possibly see if they are better than what Van has in the last couple of pre season games.

Hopefully the Seahawks game is more entertaining today.
- VanHockeyGuy

Better so far But it is against Detroit after all... at least entertaining. Like the Canucks, that D needs work though

I doubt trading Horvat for Risto would improve the Canucks defensively.
(obviously not straight up)
- manvanfan

Every year someone brings up Rusti. We already have Myers in the 4 spot. Risto is a massive liability, It was a decent idea 3-4 years ago but unfortunately he hasn’t improved. Vantel would agree with you though

Plus that contract? Barf

New blog is up — a look at last night's game in Seattle and what could lie ahead on Monday in Edmonton.

I really like Joshua’s game.
Myers was dangerous other than his dumb blind pass for a goal.

When they play poorly in pre season the sky is falling, if they play well it’s only pre season wait till the real games start lol
