I was going to make a pizza tonight, now I'm thinking pork chops.

Hope your buddy makes a full recovery.

I'd say the top 3 are Horvat, Boeser and Tanev. The order is up for debate though.
- Nucker101

I agree on those three, how your team is winning with only them is beyond me though? A little secondary scoring here and there but your defence is terrible. Goaltending must be solid?

It's great to see Gino doing better these days. Even though he was known mostly for his time with the 'Nucks, he did a short tour in Philly and was respected by the fans. I assume he's doing better and that his condition is no longer considered terminal. Is this true?

Going out on a limb here.

Canucks go on a 6 week winless streak.
Top 3 pick still attainable

For the tank crew he's up there with Gaunce, but the real MVP is Megna.

Who cares we kick ass at face offs and it does nothing for us because we suck
- Just5

We dont suck we're just having to build a team through the draft which no one in these parts is used to.

You guys should trade us Morin or Myers for Gudbranson.

Wow what an incredible game - Vaxjo 5 Farjestad 4

Farjestad tied it half way through the 3rd, then got a penalty shot during a 4 on 4 and missed with about 3 mins left, then Pettersson took control dished off to a streaking defender who flew in and fed his winger to bury it, 5-4 with a minute left.
Ep finished with 4 assists, 2 primary, one from his knees, one from his stomach...awesome

Green is a pretty decent coach, Canucks rank near the bottom of the league in shot totals per game(meaning their shot totals + their opponents shot totals) so it seems like Green has them playing a pretty structured game that keeps the game close on most nights. Probably the smart thing to do with this roster, but at the same time it's probably going to mean that they'll be hovering around .500 as long as they can score enough, but without Horvat there's probably going to be a few 1 goal or less nights coming up.

Our "terrible" team defence is tied for sixth best in the league with St Louis for fewest goals allowed. Yes, we are getting good goaltending, but our team defence system that Green and Baumgartner brought here are working even with the injuries that we have had with arguably our three best defensemen (Tanev, Stecher, Edler) injured at different times for awhile.

3-1 Flyers

Gaunce with the lone Canuck tally

Marky makes 42 saves in a loosing effort

Canucks fail to win a single face-off

3-1 canucks

With his four assists today, Elias Pettersson now sits with 11 goals and 35 points in 25 GP - good for a three point lead atop the SHL scoring board.

His 1.4 ppg is inching closer to Kent Nilsson’s U20 record of 1.5 #Canucks

The original trade was Eberle for Strome and CDH. Then the Isles said nah. So: Eberle for Strome. https://t.co/7qqvjtkKGQ

His game will never translate to the smaller surface, NA style of tough hockey. Canucks will be lucky if he turns out to be half the player Sam Bennett is right now.

I'd say he's your second best player behind my fellow American Brock Boeser

Nope Canadians play with more heart

I wonder if JB is calling his agent and going over his contract with Vaxjo to see if they can sign him and bring him over....?

That's more a product of your defensive structure as a unit out there than your actual defense. I still say your defence sucks beyond Tanev.

Seems to have worked out okay for Kent Nilsson?
