One thing we do know is this 50 year thing is a big thing for Francesco. He's stated the "dark days are behind us", it's going to get real uncomfortable for management if things go sideways this season.

I didn't go into this season with high expectations. I do like what they've added, if they make the playoff's great, if not that's okay as well as long as the effort's there.

I would have liked to see them come out of the gates on fire while their roster is relatively healthy. As the season progresses it’s going to be very difficult for Green to dress a better roster than he has now.

Kole Lind got three points Saturday. A solid night for him. (Last year, he reached three points in December.)

Also, curious to see how center plays out considering limited team depth at position.

Could be the next one to graduate.

Canucks can use a guy like him, he is a bit of a sh1t disturber.

RIP Ginger Baker. Greatest rock, blues, jazz drummer of all time.

The dog’s just warming up. It’s early in the morning. Give him another 10 minutes of running away and then he’ll figure things out.

lol no doubt. Another 10 hours of smoking dope might help too

Is that the Canuck PP?

Another year in the ahl for sure, frank he was good in junior, everytime I seen him play he was setting guys up every shift, he could have won the scoring title with assists if they would have buried half the chances

My 55pt prediction from last year is looking good so far this year.

No. They’re moving.

I wonder if doctors in the NHL prescribe THC as a pain reliever. With all the attention on pain relief addiction, what are the alternatives now for guys who experience severe pain playing the game and afterwards?

Try it sometime. Very smooth (the Reposado). You can sip it like a good whisky or scotch. Gives a nice little buzz.

Mcdavid suggested it publicly.

...and you get it for potatoes.

How's everyone feeling about the start to the season?
- Tumbleweed

Well, not as worried as you guys are in the 1st round but changes are already needed.

How was it ?

I'm hearing 50/50 and nowhere near as good as the Heath Ledger performance...
- LordHumungous

It's over hyped. Over acting. Joker over done.

Canucks score 2 more goals a game with Loui in than without

I never understand how LE has big fans like yourself.

Booner chose the Gretzky Estate. He went to the trailer and watched videos of Paulina Gretzky and rubbed one out.

It was a boring game


I think that is the second game in 8 years I turned off and there has been some bad years.

She better be hot or I'll take offence.

line tweaks, and some time.

She's hot!

Wouldn't mind seeing Ferland on that line, with Leivo or Jake with Bo and Miller moved to play with the 2nd line of Elias and Brock. Miller might be able to wake those 2 up.
- Reubenkincade

Bo can carry a line even with B players. Move Miller to first line.

I expected as much from the Canuck's early on. They've significantly changed the entire team in a short period of time, no ones had time to build chemistry, if they do at all. I think at 10 games we'll have some kind of idea of what kind of team we have.
- VanHockeyGuy

Thank god Green used preseason to figure out if players like Chatfield etc are good for a call up...

AV preseason. Figure out who's fringe and who's not there yet and then figure out the NHL lines when the season starts.
