[PG Canuck]

We can only get better, right? RIGHT?

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Sorry, Z - did it to you again.

 

[deadinthewater]

We can only get better, right? RIGHT?

Who knows? Maybe we'll switch things up and blow a 3-0 lead this time around.

 

[Luongos Knob]

We can only get better, right? RIGHT?

Wrong!

 

[Zombotron]

Sorry, Z - did it to you again.

I'm so tired that I had no idea what you were talking about, and I was looking at the thread title!

 

[Nuckles]

Finally, we get a play a team with a worse coach.

 

[PG Canuck]

Who knows? Maybe we'll switch things up and blow a 3-0 lead this time around.

I'm all for change.

Wrong!

Well, I tried.

 

[LightningBurrows]

I still think we win the division.

 

[Crows*]

My first live game of the year! Actually my first live game since game 1 of the cup finals.

Hopefully Raffi Torres comes up with another big goal to lead the Canucks to victory.

Isn't he still suspended?

 

[alicia]

Canucks burst out of the gate in the first, scoring 7.

Suck the rest of the game, choke up 12 goals, media blows up over our goalie tandem again.


Cry & go back to the bar. Another night of hockey ruined.

 

[Addison Rae]

Isn't he still suspended?

This actually made me laugh pretty hard. Idek why anyway I don't see us losing this game. I say 6-2 Van

 

[Royal Canuck]

I just want a win, don't care how we get it.

I hate losing to the Avs.

 

[Steve Bennett*]

I still think we win the division.

That much is obvious, our divisional competition couldn't compete in the ahl... god bless the divisional seeds getting 1, 2, 3 - could come in handy this year...

Canucks win 9-0

1st period

19:11 DSedin (Hsedin Kassian)
19:19 Hsedin (Garrison Schneider)
19:56 Hansen (Raymond Schroeder)

2nd period

19:30 Raymond (Schroeder Hansen)
19:42 Bieksa (Hamhuis Higgins)

19:26 DSedin (Hsedin Kassian)

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

Landeskog still out?

oh yes...just win. I'm guessing Cory starts this one.

 

[Crows*]

I really hope shane obrien is in the lineup and Kassian tunes his face in. I can't stand sob.

 

[Reverend Mayhem]

My first live game of the year! Actually my first live game since game 1 of the cup finals.

That's cool! I went to that one and I'm going to this one! Last one of my ticket package too. Hope it's a good one.

 

[Samzilla]

Isn't he still suspended?

I could be wrong, but I thought yesterdays game against the Oilers was the last of his suspension. I'm probably wrong.

 

[ItsAllPartOfThePlan]

So which one of our defensemen does McGinn take out this game?

 

[Jack Tripper]

just finished watching the kings game, frustrating game...not used to seeing the canucks just give up offensively for such a long stretch of the third period, but being the 3rd game in 4 nights and alot of players looking gassed (especially the sedins) made the decision to play for the 2-1 win understandable...can't remember a team ice the puck so much in the third period for a while

not so happy about some of the coaching/ice time decisions tonight...ballard was the best d-man by a long shot yet was 5th in ice time on the back end, schroeder benched for no discernable reason despite being the best center in the face-off circle and defensively all game, kassian benched in overtime, edler miscast in the shootout yet again, refusal to try schroeder in the shootout...curious stuff to say the least

still, with kesler out, and leaders like h. sedin, edler and hamhuis playing like shells of their former selves, there is a ton of room for improvement and a long winning streak once they get their act together isn't out of the question

a home game against a team like colorado who looked pretty sad against edmonton last night is as good a chance as any to get the sedins and the top-4 d going to a certain extent

 

[StringerBell]

The Avalanche have been a cakewalk for is the past couple seasons. Why do I get the feeling that won't be the case this time around?

 

[CCF]

Just win.

And win big.

I think I was happier during the lockout.
