It is a very decent team not a cup team IMO.

I have more faith in next year. We should have one or two more kids on the team .I hope this year we pick up a nasty player. Someone like Perry. Everyone says we need a playmaker for Kes .I think we need to find another bumhole to play with Kes as a shut down banging scoring line.

I hope our team looks something like this .I doubt we get Perry, so maybe something like Brouwer for Lu

Sedin Sedin Kassian
Burrows Kesler Brouwer
Jensen Gaunce Hansen
Wiese Lapierre Volpatti

- VANTEL

Brouwer is making 3.66mil a year. Way too much for a 3rd line player.

I wonder what Toronto and Edmonton's slogan will be this year, last year it was Fail for Nail... Now it's going to be something like PNWED for Jones, or S H I T T I N' For McKinnon.
- DariusKnight

Not Winnin' for Mackinnon.
Moans for Jones.
Pull a Zharkov for Barkov.
Pooin' for Drouin OR Shoe-in for Drouin.
Eat sack for Zac (Fucale).

Canucks will retain the division lead for the remainder of the season.
- Gordiehowetrick



You are correct but it's a weak division

May as well concede the Cup to Vancouver now after reading that arrogant blog

All after beating a non playoff team

So two questions

1.If Marchand gives Sedin your captain the face wash twice will he stand up and fight or head for the exit like he did in the finals
2.Your blogger should have waited until after you played the sharks before writing "What a team!"

What a joke

No wonder people outside Vancouver hate this team

Schroeder on the rw with Kesler and booth might work.

If Kickasan continues to play well with the twins, I see no reason why Burrows and Kesler can't play together.

It would be nice to see Schneider start all 3 games
- VANTEL

I cant see Schneider starting back to back games when Lu is on the bench at all this season

but kassian can actually fight
- allen_gamble

I understand why people compare Kassian to Bertuzzi. But its not really there. Kassian will never put up anything close to 100pts in a season. Like it was said Kassian will fight anybody. Kassian will back check. Your probably looking more at a high end hybrid of Backes/Lucic

At some point Zack will struggle this year, that's a given, he can't score every game. But I do like what he's brought to the table so far. If Burrows can play LW on the second line, him and Kesler have some chemistry together, that makes Booth tradeable doesn't it?

San Jose is gonna be a tough tough test for the guys tonight, this could get ugly with the way they're playing! Or it'll be a close road game.

I am hoping he can have a couple of years where he can play like Byfuglien on Chicagos cup run.

If he is not scoring he can still bang and create space. Burrows and Kesler had chemistry years ago, the last couple of years since the magazine pix Kesler has only had chemisty with himself . Lets hope he goes back in time.

He's not as effective on the wing. They tried that with the Moose.
