11 players averaging half a point per game, fairly impressive for a team that had the fanbase frantic about no offense, after the Sedins retired.

Elias Brock Miller Bo Hughes Pearson Jake Edler Gaudette Leivo Roussel, 6 of these guys already in double digits for goals.

Hopefully the boys can keep it going.

That trade may prove to be the single best move jb did for this team. Right up there with drafting boeser and petey

Vrbata and Vanek?

Props to Demko I thought he was gonna get shelled.

We are fine without the Sedins and we'll be fine when Edler-Tanev are gone for assets

Yes and No - I think expectations were unrealistic from the start - mixed with the fanbases lack of patience = recipe for disaster. He's 23 on pace for 47 points - i'll take that any day.

some other players that put up similar points last year:
Jacob Vrana - 47 pts - 22yrs
Tyler Bertuzzi - 47 pts - 23yrs
Josh Andersson - 47pts - 24yrs
Konecny - 49pts - 21yrs
Tierney - 48pts - 24 yrs

I stand by my statement . The key words are "had been a disappointment."

Very few will complain about a 45 pt Jake but we were complaining about a 25 pt Jake.

Everyone is thrilled about his play this year . He has grown and I am very happy to see that.

Demko did a nice job. He smothered up the puck well, other than a couple miscues, that should be expected, he had a strong game.
This team is better with Edler-Tanev in the lineup, whether we like it or not.
Should be a interesting PLAYOFF run.😁

He played well mostly last night but I still do not trust him as a starting goalie. That second goal was

I have been a big Jake supporter, but I was starting to have my doubts, hopefully he continues his strong play.

I see a healthy Tanev as someone Canucks could use to mentor OJ next year. That will disappoint the Trade Tanev group.

I think most here were Jake supporters but patience were running thin.

I think so too. Crazy to think fagemo and hoglander went in the 2nd round last draft, they are killing it

It's pretty rare that 1st year goalies would be trusted to be a starter. They usually get ease them into it by their 2nd/3rd year (which seems to be the route the Canucks are taking with him).
Last year he started 9 games and 2 were bad. This year he's started 13 and had 3 (Col, PItts and Buff) poor games but still beat Buff. I think he's off to a pretty goddamn good start for a kid that has 25 games under his belt - on a young team.
As the team improves, I expect him to as well. Also, Ian Clark. Patience.

Did anyone else hear the Smyl interview?
Pretty sure he said Hoglander could help us out now.
Maybe we see him sooner than expecTed.

He was talking about Pod when he said he could help now

Once again, the voice of reason Vantel. I like what JV has done on the ice this season. I only hope he cleans up his act off the ice and doesn't warp anyone with his off ice antics.

He could replace JV. I like pod's Ruschian machine attitude....

I hope JV ups his value, gets traded and then replaced in the lineup by Ruschian Pod....

This is definitely the first year of the rebuild where have had scoring depth. Took a while but this group can score for sure. Hoglander and podz are both possession/skill beasts from what ive seen. Very excited for the stretch but even moreso when for next year.

It’s just whether his body can take it to be middle six for us next year. Looks great.

Both Alberta teams are behind us in the standings.
Their fans are completely lost trying to figure it out.
The entire province is going through a reality check and I’m loving every minute of it.
