I wasn't a fan of the Petterson pick, but, that kid has impressed me.
He is a smart and highly-skilled player.
If nothing else this season, he will be enjoyable to watch.

Last year we had no one exciting, this year we have EP. Next year it will be QH.

The next years goalies just look like Demko, Markstrom which I think is fine. Markstrom without the pressure of being the number 1. Oddly though Markstrom's numbers aren't too bad last year. He just doesn't give the team a chance to win most nights.

If you could get rid of Both Nilsson and Markstrom then maybe bring in Brian Elliot to mentor Demko.

- manvanfan

Markstrom was the highest rated goalie not playing in the NHL for his time. Florida rushed him into the league behind their poop roster and he fell flat on his face. One could argue he is still struggling with the effects of that decision. Now Demko is anointed the next best thing from sliced bread and everyone wants to gift him the starters role when he hasn't achieved a thing in this league. Do you really want to roll the dice and risk the possible upside of Demko ? You seen his performance in the preseason ... he's clearly not ready to be a backup in the NHL , let alone be handed the starters job behind this assembly of crap .

Markstom is a C goalie

Nilsson is a D-

- VANTEL

My biggest issue with Markstrom is when you need him to make that one timely save he doesn’t. Good goalie his intensity level is there every game and I like that but he will never steal a game for us. I want him to make me eat my words but I doubt it.

I don’t even want to comment on Nilsson.

I disagree Demko needs a few NHL wins. He’s gonna get that this season. He won’t struggle once this team finds its identity.

A lot of things can change between now and the start of next year . Will there be a new GM ? Will Canucks win first over all pick? Will they have a few first round picks?

I am leaning towards a whitewash on D but need to see how things go this year.

If the top 4 forwards next year are Brock Bo EP Hughes I would be going in the direction to change the D and throw a huge offer at Karlsson.

I think I am leaning towards making a lot of trades at TDL but we will see when we get there.

Listening to the radio the other day, they were saying how the Beatles used to engage in circle jerks and yell out names of people while they do it.

The only really optimistic comment was go after Karlsson

Drafting Hughes and firing Benning are more of a reality

I've seen very few decent NFL games this season.
The bears 35 points in the first half. Avg 19 per game.
Looks like 3 teams will be blanked at half time.
Two other teams with just 3 points.

Not fkn much these days... boring. I'm working out on the heavy bag lately. Maybe a few assaults charges in the plans... maybe publicly criticise Israel or something daring like that.

Just for fun tonight, while at work, I am going to post as many irrelevant comments about whatever suits me at that particular moment.
I may even comment on some posts that were written yesterday and give a whole bunch of thumbs up while doing so.👍
