It would be nice if we can still have this convo in November...happy with the starts but not going to get too high just yet....how bout them Leafs tho last night at least when they lose they do it on a sptacular scale

TSn went on for days when Mathews scored 4. Laine was off the front page the following morning for basically doing the same thing... oh and winning the game.

Both teams will be around the bubble.

People forget as teams improve the leaders ebb . What goes up must come down

But is Laine a lock for the HHOF?

I expect nothing less out of the Toronto Sports Network......Laine is just as good as Matthews so far this season but he will never get his due from them

Who?? I just looked him up on TSN and could not find anything. Meanwhile, TSN says Mathews had a haircut two weeks ago and the grade of steel used in the scissors was 12 grade Chinese steel.

The way the Pacific looks so far even tho its early it really could be anyones to grab ahold of.....by the time we hit game 20 a better picture should be painted

Still funny

Yeah we all know WD didn't fair well with Flames back then .... who knows what he'll do given another chance .... but we don't any choices right now really but to hope so.... besides I don't know who out there is a clear sure thing better option right now.... WD has flaws but he's got capabilities so let's see
- Nuck4U

he didnt fare well is right and that is usually something as a coach you get or dont get. I mean he was schooled by HARTLEY

you either have the ability to read tactical play and know what to do to counter or you do not have that ability. He clearly does not.

He seems like a likable guy and players seem to want to play for him. But when you consider playoff wins as the measuring stick, well ...time to move over

I just realized that if we would just stop scoring goals on ourselves, we would already have two shutouts.

Who would have thought Oilers and Canucks battling for first
- VANTEL

1 observation. It seems every year the oilers take off and in 1. 15 games in or so comes the nosedive. Seems to happen every year. Dont make much of it.

Although Mclellan seems to have torn strips off the team publically. Trades gave occured. Its possible its turned around.

Don't get ahead of yourself bud we're 5% into the season, we lost 4 in a row 5 times last season and lost 9 in a row late.

I dont think that came out quite right there beatle
maybe re phrase that

Wow, six pages of gang up on Lefty.

I've watched 3 of the 4 games, #44 has looked ok, not great. Jim Benning does come off as a bit of an idiot. I don't think he isn't smart, I just think he's not a great communicator, at least as a public speaker. Poor grammar, says 'you know' a lot. He probably couldn't articulate why he likes certain prospects beyond the cliches, but I think he is a keen observer of what makes successful hockey players.

As far as the win streak, it won't continue but I'm happy they're collecting points from the teams that they "should" beat if they hope to be a playoff team.

Well all just look at the facts right now... enjoy... as Carol asked can we go 4-0...yes!

don't look back or forward no need to get all high or low....just see that this team is first in the entire NHL and the only undefeated team too.. not bad eh🇨🇦

No one would have said that to before the season started .... where this goes or for how long they can stay on top is anyone's guess ....cause if this team remains healthy in the key positions they are not an easy out and capable of winning any game.

Oration doesn't win hockey games lol

Idiots can rise to the top...
Trump comes to mind as a top candidate.

They are playing well it's historic and look forward to more ...!

For now enjoy it with a smile but reserve the I told you so scream until we are half way through the season

....cause you know how bad luck and injuries can change a season which what happened last year knocking them out of contention....
- Nuck4U

Absolutely, sound advice.

Just got in from Hockey saw the score…

What were the positives tonight?

Lefty has become head cheerleader for the drama queens.

Sutter has been Canucks best player this year

Point a game, he just needs to stay healthy.

Who cares. Have you heard Darryl Sutter? They are Alberta farm boys, with good character. They get the job done. Works for me.
