Pre-Game Talk: Canucks in Detroit, Tuesday

[Fire Benning]

b-b-but world juniors!!!

Still waiting for the Jordan Schroeder breakout season.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

I’m honestly fine with not having a lottery pick and making the playoffs. This is a few draft in round one, I see a lot of potential steals in the teens/early 20s

I don't care much about picking high anymore at all I just want Benning and co to f*** off.

It's nice to see some genuine excitement for this team again. The last few seasons have been a pretty rough slog.

They’re not going anywhere anytime soon. Picking Pettersson and Boeser saved his job.

Everybody was in agreement that Boeser got Benning that extension...Now we have Pettersson mania,and next year Hughes..?..The last thing that you're hearing about in the media these days,is management job security.

With Linden gone,...Benning might up his game a bit?

The two top rookie scorers face off! Local kid Dennis Cholowski vs EP40!

Cholowski has a very good 2-6-8 in 11 games. I remember him with the Chilliwack Chiefs!

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

I haven't seen much of Detroit this season,I just know they are in the Jack Hughes conversation...

It won't be an easy game...As they say about the new NHL..The good teams aren't as good as you think they are,and the bad teams are not as bad as you think they are...In fact,there are no absolutely terrible teams in the NHL.

Same here, great player, good for him that he’s doing well in detroit!

 

[Fire Benning]

Canucks have 18 points after 15 games this year

how many did they have after 15 games last year?

18

 

[Grub]

We actually have a strong center depth if Beagle and Sutter gets back

Pettersson
Horvat
Sutter
Beagle

This is the first time in a long time where I thought to myself, "wow, I have to wait this many days til the next game?"

Elias Pettersson!!!

I hear you. But keep in mind, the only year in the past five the Canucks did make the playoffs in Willie's first year, they drafted Brock Boeser 23rd overall that spring. And the year before in 2014, the Canucks picked Jared McCann one pick in front of David Pastrnak. So if your scouts do their job, picking in the bottom half of the first round can still net an impact player.

Absolutely 100%.

Feel free to sound off on this Detroit-Edmonton game if you're tuning in. Obviously some of you have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon

neither do i

 

[LemonSauceD]

Boeser is also coming off a huge 4 point night. That's surely gotta boost his confidence and hopefully he can use last game to build some consistency and be a contributing factor every night.

Really hope Tanev is able to play on Tuesday. We're definitely missing him right now.

What's truly scary is that those numbers are very good-- until you compare them to 9-6-15 in 9 games for EP40.

 

[Zombotron]

I thought Fabbro was going to comfortably beat Cholowski to the NHL

 

[Zombotron]

Rasmussen's hurt - shot off the foot? I didn't even know he made the NHL. Good for him.

 

[Zombotron]

Tyler Bertuzzi brought Detroit to within 1 but Edmonton controlled the run of play and outshot them 42 - 25. 4 - 3 final.

He had his first goal last game I think, parked in front of the net.

 

[Zombotron]

And it was Thomas Vanek who set him up, lol

 

[Motte and Bailey]

Canucks have 18 points after 15 games this year

how many did they have after 15 games last year?

18

Which makes sense because they were a good team last year that caught the injury bug.
