Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks show glimmers of promise in losses in Edmonton & China The Vancouver Canucks lost both their games on Friday night but there are some positive takeaways, such as the play of Jalen Chatfield and Evan McEneny among the young players and Thomas Vanek's chemistry with Markus Granlund and Sven Baertschi in China.

Canucks do have some positives to look forward to. I liked the play on the boards by Burmistrov to set up the goal

He's versatile. I think they will.

Though I did notice that he was lying on the ice gasping for breath at the end of that insane flurry of pressure that the Kings put together...early in the second period?

He was already laying on the ice after trying to block a shot. LaBate was standing and hunched right over.

We all shouldn't be concerned about wins, new coach, new system, mixing up lines etc. I thought this game was much better than the first game although I listened on the radio doing night shift lol, shorty does a great job were fortunate to have him.

Put boeser with the sedins, granny with bo and baer.

Sorry but

Try It for a bit, or baer bo boeser and granny with the sedins either way 2 good lines.

Why put Boeser in charge of propping up the Sedins? He deserves to play with Bo

Only concern right now is where the offensive is coming from which isn't from very many.

Danny is regressing fast, hank not so much, nothing they can do but ride these guys out.

I hope this puts things to rest about the silliness of extending them

Hank is slower too. His reflexes for shooting has lost a beat

I won't put too much into the preaseason but they certainly looked awful last night. The game has passed them by

I hope they retire and become development coaches next year, but first waive the no trade at tdl and get something for them.

Jagr, Iglinla, Gionnta all don't have contracts. Showing the league doesn't matter if you can score if your slow.

Anyone not named Gaunce can score 10-15 goals

Did Molino even play last night? He started the young stars and preseason strong but has faded fast it seems.
