'Brutal' is too strong a word I agree (except for the coach) but its a competitive league and even bad teams are "in" most games. And certainly a few of our players - Miller and Tanev mainly - have been fantastic so that further covers up other flaws and problems with this team. And sure a lot of guys haven't been scoring but that's kinda the problem also. Adam Cracknell and Radim Vrbata 100% arent going to continue their current paces but I suspect Cracknells pace is more inflated than Vrbatas is deflated right now. It's not like Vrbata has been a consistent, reliable 30g player over his career. He's hit it twice but is really more of a 20g guy. And other than Vrbata, nobody (including Daniel) looks like they'll threaten even 20.
So are we a good team that has succeeded despite some slow starts? Or are we a bad team that's gotten great goaltending and a fortunate schedule so far?
Can't say for sure but I can't blame some people for leaning towards the latter.
Yahoooooooo, we got a point!
2. Ben Hutton is going to be the best defenceman the Canucks ever had. There I said it. This kid looks awesome.
You think he'll be better than Tanev?
I'll just concede that I'm watching a different game than most people and move on.
Nah, we're all watching the same game but I guess we all have different expectations for how the rest of the season will play out. It's like trying to identify a picture of an elephant by seeing only 6/82 of it. There's a lot to play out still and things will almost certainly look different in April than they do now. The question is whether we've seen the best of the team already or whether they can keep it up or even get better.
Didn't mean to rain all over your expectations however. I miss being not more than a touch jaded myself
No, we're not. You said it yourself -you're jaded. You're looking at the puzzle through warped glasses.
McCann? More like McPresbox!
That's how you treat your top goal scorer willie!! ATA BOY!
Scratching our leading goal scorer is just idiotic. Give me these lines:
Sedin-Sedin-Vrbata
Baertschi-Horvat-Virtanen
Burrows-McCann-Hansen
Prust-Sutter-Cracknell

what happened to him being banged up?
I thought he was banged up?
I don't like Sutter on the 4th line, I'd much rather McCann on the 2nd and try him as a LW and demote baertschi to the 3rd
