Only 9 guys on the roster tonight the same as last years
6 from 2 years ago
4 from 3 years ago Danny Hanky Burr Edler
The most interesting experience, for me, was on the way in. I had no idea bag checks were a thing until the guy sent me to the line. The bag I had used was one I hadn't really used in a long time and it felt empty so I assumed there was nothing in it. What I didn't know was that in my bag, there was this leopard print thong that I received as a gag gift a few years ago. So, as I take the bag and give it to the people, this guy with a WWE-esque figure and grave face is looking through my bag. Then he just stares at me, takes out the thong and does that "confused dog tilted head" face and everyone around me found it to be absolutely hilarious.
I'm disappointed that I had no legitimate opportunity to start a chant, but it was a fun night for sure.

Yup. This is Benning's team. With each passing day, it becomes harder to blame all of his failures on Gillis.
that 2013 2014 roster.....
i cannot understand how any canucks fan can be as disgusted with what we have now as as empty a team we had in 2013.
like
bo horvat
sven baertschi
granlund
hutton
stecher
tryamkin
makes no sense. literally kassian and jensen our "prospects"
i cannot understand the doom and gloom this team possesses when u can look back 3 years ago and literally cry yourself to sleep.
pretty sure post scf loss is just 5 stages of acceptance and anyone whos pumped for the team has dealt with accepting we need to rebuild because that 2011 team was finished the second game 7 was over.
gillis was fired because he took the team from game 7 scf to 6th overall in 2 years
Don't know why I'm engaging you, but that team slumped hard in every position.
The next year it was a 101 point team with downgrades like Bonino instead of Kesler and Sbisa instead of Garrison.
it downgraded because we didnt draft **** for 6 years.
bonino and garrison hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
bonino wins cups just fine maybe if we drafted a 2c like ryan o reilly we could have been a good team
but bowie ryan o reilly was passed on by lots of teams.
good point.
the vancouver canucks passed on every single nhl player drafted between 2008 to 2012. check mate
Bolded are from Gillis (Granlund partially because he came from Shinkaruk)that 2013 2014 roster.....

Honestly, in all my years watching this league, that Chaput no goal was probably the biggest BS I've seen. Goalie literally jams his stick into the player's legs out of the crease. How is that not a goal? Absolute stupidness on that no goal.

There were times in this game when the Canucks looked completely pitiful. Just a disorganized mess. First half of the 2nd period in particular the team was under constant siege and seemed to play much of the time in their own crease. Markstrom had to be herculean (and lucky) to hold them in the game. Score could have been like 5 - 0 or something.
Injury to Richardson (and why did we let him go???) seemed to turn things around and (maybe with Yotes tiring) we somewhat took over.
Entertaining game made mostly so by huge defensive gaffes by both sides.
Nice that Hutton scored a very pretty goal and possibly that will get him going. Confidence that he showed so much last year seemed to be disappearing and you can hope this gets a bit of his swagger back. However, throughout most of the game he continued to struggle with any kind of forecheck in his own end. Needs to move the puck quicker.
Players I liked were Sutter ,Sedins, Markstrom, Edler, Gudbranson, Burrows and Chaput. Stecher did some good things but needs to increase his zone of coverage.
Seemed like Guance got benched in the third when the team went to 3 lines. Seemed like Arizona was doing the same thing. In the highly unlikely chance the team ever gets back to a full line up believe Chaput centers the 4th line with Skille and Dorsett.
Tryamkin continues to trend well. Keeping things simple although there does seem sn urge to get to the goal. So much upside here. Seems like that even if he just accidentally bumps into people he does damage.
Eriksson still MIA

It would be re-e-ally weird how Benning signs guys for the Comets and with his apparent lack of knowledge of those guys discovers they are better than what he has in his own camp and he ends up keeping them. Last year it was Cracknell and now it's Chaput?
