something is obviously up. he's at home playing like he does not care.
maybe he just saw his ex gf in the stands with a strangely familiar looking baby.

Hirsch saying he'd rather have Virtanen over Duclair to me, really somes up his complete and utter homerism.
Haven't really noticed Eriksson but noticed Virtanen? I don't know about this commentary...

No goal, but DuClair looked good there.
Hot take by Hirsch. Virtanen > DuClair.
I'd make that trade in a heartbeat.

Serenity now!
Canucks have been giving up a ton of shots every game. Yes, yes, it's only preseason. Still not a fan of it.

Well I've noticed Virtanen turning the puck over left and right. Eriksson just hasn't really done...anything. Not what he meant of course, but still lol.

Jake eases up on a great chance to steamroll a guy and turn it into a breakaway. Takes the p***y way out with a stick wave.

First thing I thought of, but then I realized the time of the game and it's preseason. I'll try to give him a pass, just cause I'm a nice guy.

I don't understand how a reach around poke check that turns into a hug against the boards isn't a holding penalty.

"...if Boeser stays down that's a 5 minute major.... and a suspension...". I for one am glad that those days appear to be over. Soon to be "Ring of Honour" inductee Alex Burrows would have stayed down...
Good luck to the fans getting out of the ****tiest parking lot ever made.

Pretty ugly game. Canucks were dominant for about half a period and then went to sleep while the Sens kept working. Canucks had the talent to bury some chances and Markstrom stood tall as well.
Only guy among the skaters who I really noticed in a positive way was Pettersson. Everyone else unfortunately ranged from “meh” to “bad”.
Virtanen...ugh. I’m a big fan of what he can bring and do when he’s on. But he needed a big game tonight and turned in possibly his worst one yet. It says a lot that a guy like Schaller, who lost his job last season, has come into camp and likely earned it back at the expense of Virtanen. Yes it’s nice that Schaller has seemingly remembered he’s a hockey player and is playing like it, but man, something is wrong with Jake. Perhaps a change of scenery is needed.
Our mostly NHL defense was a complete gong show tonight. Didn’t think anyone really looked good. Edler and Myers had good moments, but those were frequently sandwiched by awful ones.
All in all - it’s preseason and this is basically pond hockey. Glad our team had the skill to come out on top. But let’s get the regular season underway already.

Man are Ottawa ever going to be an absolutely awful team.
The Canucks are starting to take shape though
D are likely now set with Fantenberg in concussion protocol. Biega as the extra body. Goalies are also set.
That leaves 14 forward spots.
Ferland-Pettersson-Boeser
Pearson-Horvat-Miller
Baertschi-Sutter-Leivo
Eriksson-Beagle-Motte
Then some mix of Virtanen, Schaller or Goldobin as spares until Fantenberg and Roussel are healthy.

Virtanen cruising like he potted 25 last year and is guaranteed a spot. Taking him over Duclair is a real hot take. Move him for Poolparty, let him spend the year in Finland to reset and bring him over next season. Pretty low risk, low (potentially high) reward but why not. At this point seems like its just Jimbo holding onto his first draft pick for dear life.
