Carol Schram: Goldobin scores winner in first game with Vancouver Canucks, on to Anaheim New acquisition Nikolay Goldobin's spectacular first goal as a Vancouver Canuck turned out to be the game-winner in a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Kings. The Canucks will finish off their California road trip on Sunday in Anaheim.

People talk about how sad the Canucks look, how would you like to be a King fan? Yes they have two cups but the next few years look bad bad bad

Goldy with the 6 minute win

Thank you Carol!

More Nucks action again tonight! Is there a link for the stream?

Think Sutter spends too much time on the beach instead of getting his players game ready!

How many more games until Goldy gets the C.

I fixed that for you

I think he needs at least 60 minutes of ice-time to warrant that, so probably after another 12 games or so.

Bo's first game he got 8.52 TOI

Does that mean Don is a lot creepy?

Carol with all the rage on Twitter what is your opinion of how Willie is doing. You are probably around him more than most , do you have a report card on him?

Telus truly does suck, they overcharge for internet, I had two lines installed in my place with one being dedicated solely for internet and the other for my landline/Optik TV (a complete piece of hot garbage) and when I upgraded my internet to the highest speed, they put it on my landline, and for 2 years charged me double because the idiots didn't realize I had a dedicated internet line.

Took me months and getting the runaround and sending angry letters to the CEO and even threatening to call the media before finally they fixed things and gave me free services for a year and then half-price on my internet for a year after that.

Joey Kenward interesting stat. This is the 9 th time this year Canucks gave up more than 40 shots and our record is 6-3-0

If I am WD i don't bother with D and we could win the cup.

I don't have any juicy inside intel. My opinion on Willie is essentially unchanged from Year 1.

Tank Nation might not like it, but he's still coaching to win games. His NHL record is going to appear next to his name until the end of time; he wants it to be as good as it can be.

I do think his coaching style breeds trust from his players and he deserves credit for the development we've seen from Bo, Sven, Granlund and the young D-men. As I've said before, I wish he'd be more responsive with his player management during games and more willing to make adjustments, more willing to ride the hot hand or mix things up to try to spark the team.

But perhaps those moves would erode the positives of his relationships with his players? It could be a double-edged sword.

Like many things Canucks-related, I think fans' emotions have a tendency to get overblown when it comes to Willie. Goldobin's ice time in his first game should not be cause for opening a special investigation.

Exactly .

I sometimes think us fans look too far ahead and don't realize what we have right now.

We have three fine young forwards and three to four fine young Dmen right in front of our nose and yet we are thinking all hell is breaking loose .

It would be nice if Dahlen or Goldobin develop into a true NHLer but they have to earn their minutes same as Boeser and Juolevi will have to when they come on board. Eventually some of these guys will stick around.

Very true about the lack of credit WD gets for Bo Sven and Granlund

Especially when Goldobin didn't even have a practice with the team before he played. You could see on his first shift that he had no clue what line he was on, when he was supposed to change, and where to go on the ice.

The fact that he got a goal is more because of good luck, goal sucking and Bishop being really bad. Most NHL goalies would stop that shot and scoring off the rush in the NHL is really rare and hasn't happened since the advent of the Dead Puck Era and 7' tall goalies, extensive game and player scouting, and video coaches in the skybox sending advice/adjustments to the coaches on the bench.

It's a big loss when you realize JBs 5th round picks are better than his 1st round picks.
