He's having a Jeff Cowan (Bra-barian) like surge on a generally low scoring team. Hard work and good luck. When he was Jake Virtanen's roommate - he stole his mojo
He's scored the most goals.
I don't care how they've won, because it's just an unbelievably small sample size to suggest that this year is going to e different than the last two. The team was under 500% a mere two games ago they beat two bottom dwellers and people are suggesting that "this years going to be different!11!"What do find hilarious Dim Jim?...If you read my post I explained HOW they've won this year compared to the beginning of last year...If it still just looks like the same ol' to you as last year,and you're predicting a 10 game losing skid coming up...then carry on.
Why are you talking about the standings and the playoffs?..I never said they were a playoff team?..My only observation was 'the way' the Canucks won (without relying on a goaltender standing on his head ,or OT and SO points)...I don't care how they've won, because it's just an unbelievably small sample size to suggest that this year is going to e different than the last two.

It's been 8 games, Vegas has one of the best records in the league right now. Where do you see this team in the standings this year? If I disagree with it, I'm completely open to a wager. I remember doing one last year with someone of a similar mind set on here who said we were going to make the playoffs, too bad he got banned otherwise I would be $500 richer.
Again you're not factoring the quality of teams the Canucks are playing as of right now. The only win they've had against an over 500% team this year was against the Senators, a game they were out shot in and had their goalie stand on their head (similar to what you said happened last year)Why are you talking about the standings and the playoffs?..I never said they were a playoff team?..My only observation was 'the way' the Canucks won (without relying on a goaltender standing on his head ,or OT and SO points)...
I honestly have no idea where this team will finish..They're not a playoff team,but I also don't think that they're going to be an easy 2 points for any team.

It's too early to say this teams different than last years. They played a good game today, credit where credit is due. But when the schedule gets tougher and the season gets longer they're likely going to be back in the same situation as last year.
As it stands, I don't think we're amongst the worst 5 teams in the league.
We may have had a stretch of games against pushovers , but at least we're beating the bad team... over the last couple of years the bad teams were beating us.
Although, as soon as Tanev suffers his yearly injury we'll probably lose 20 games straight.
Agreed.
I said before the season that improved depth and better coaching would probably take us into the 80-85 point range, and I haven't seen anything so far to change that prediction.
This season we look clearly better than the Buffalo/Detroit/Arizona sort of teams, but really all it's going to do is give us a worse draft pick.
And like you say, if Tanev gets hurt ... it'll be tank time.
