This is what scares me. Shortened season + our players being more out of practice than other teams' + us being traditionally slower starters + early injuries...we might be in an even bigger hole than normal come the 20 game mark. Through 20 games last year we were 11th in the conference.

It's funny the home opener it was pretty loud. I think the acoustics in the place are just ****ed.

Ever see a concert in GM Place? Absolutely terrible acoustics.
We do have kind of a fickle crowd though. I think they're getting spoiled.

For sure. Everytime I watch a game on TV, it really does seems like we are a quiet bunch.
Watch a game live and it's a loud arena. Last game I went to was against CBJ and it was loud...
Granted, it was also ST. Patty's Day.
BC Place has improved. Paul McCartney was great there. I'd see another concert there.
And I've seen enough flashes of decent hockey from the Canucks in the first two games to temper any disappointment from creeping in. This team only needs to play decent to get into the playoffs. Once we're there, I know we can beat anyone.

Eager is injured and out day-to-day due to "facial swelling".
But yeah, Kassian *totally* lost that fight, guys.

Pink Floyd was great. Famous story is when Floyds crew arrived and were warned about BC Place, the took one look around and said "not a problem". And it wasn't

If by lost you mean punched in the back of the head when the fight was over...Kassian did lose the fight of complete lack of character to Eager.

Agreed, I was just mad we didn't get a great prospect not that he picked the Oilers. It's hard not to imagine them as one of the teams to beat over the next few years.
Plus none of that pesky playoff action getting in the way of his spring & summer.

So the PK and PP definitely need more work, had we scored on just one of the six powerplays we got, we could have won. That's unacceptable. The defense was good through the first have of the game but took a step back in the third. Edler had some good and bad moments; I think him playing his off side is a bit of a factor here.
Oh, and Ebbett can GTFO. Totally unnecessary penalty there at the end. ****ing idiot.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. For the record, I think that these silly comments go both ways, some of the Oiler fans comments are just as bad!
If you took my comment seriously, my apologies for not using 47 emoticons to help. Which ones should use to make sure this doesn't happen again?

If it was sarcasm I do apologize. Like I said, some of the comments that I am hearing from both sides are silly. I'm just excited that there might actually be a REAL rivalry between these two teams for a few years.
For the record, I'm not basing those worries on anything I saw in the first couple games. I was already worried about our penchant for slow starts and the circumstances of this season before the puck ever dropped. By no means do I mean it as doom and gloom, but it's something I was nervous about and *could* see happening.
that speed is also going to make a lot of teams PK units look bad this year. The NHL seems to be calling a lot more this year and they had the #3 PP last year with Horcoff and Smyth getting a lot of ice time. This year J.Schultz and Yakupov will be getting some PP time so it could be one of the best again.
After the first two games do Canuck fans still want Luongo traded or make them compete for starts? As an Oiler fan I'm torn on this. On one hand I'd love to see Luongo get traded and then see Schneider **** the bed but the Canucks would obviously be getting some valuable assets back to address current weakness' on the roster. If he stays they could both play lights out all year...... Tough call personally.
