Thanks for updates.
I was thinking last night (Before learning of Rousell being out) that i'd like to see Baily on the 3rd line with AG and BB and put Roussell on the 4th line.
Schaller to the 4th makes sense for now.

He's also the guy who acquired all those terrible D, giving up draft picks along the way, and then let most of them walk for nothing. But he's bulletproof..

Nice work, Vintage.

That should create a bit of a frenzy with the fanboys.

Thanks Carol.

I was right on the first two games of this 6 games coming off the break. I think I choose two losses for the next two games. Early games.

I wonder what the Canucks record is for come back this season. It seems they have been allowing the first goal lots and also going into 3rd period and having to come back.

Palmu... I don't think so. Lockwood looks to be a little high on the list.

Madden ahead of OJ? High hopes for Madden considering a top 4 D is more sought after than a "top 6" forward according to scouts.

Oh wait Scott Wheeler isn't a scout.

Thanks Carol.

Could I ask a favour? Could you do a write-up on JT Miller's impact on this team at some point this season? I've just now taken the time to look at his numbers and it's impressive. I've also noticed a stark difference in team attitude since he's joined the club. Country club entitlement now over.

It really was a fantastic acquisition by JB, targeting and securing exactly what this team needed.

Curious what people in your media and team circles are saying. Thx.

Thanks Carol,

Just read that Roussel is still feeling his MCL injury. Hopefully he gets back on track soon. I agree that he is the obvious choice to replace Loui when he falters.

Who do you have above lockwood on that list?

I agree with Madden over Joulevi, one is a top player in their league the other is average.

Would be good.

Maybe ask Brock how the boys on the 3rd line are doing?

Canucks are the 3rd highest scoring 1st period team in the NHL this year, so even if they're allowing the first goal a lot, they often aren't behind for long.

With how poopty our pro scouts have been it's nice to see them finally find a winner.

I know it keeps getting mentioned, but our Goaltending might have a lot to do with it. Here's a wild stat, we're 12-0-0 when getting outshot at home this year.

Lockwood would be ahead of Gadjovich at this point in time on that list. Honestly I don't know how McDonaugh is so low. He's the same age as Madden and scoring at close to the same rate.

I don't think Madden has that kind of top 6 potential to be rated over a player who still has top 4 D potential.

Going to have to dig deeper than that. The Canucks were outshooting opponents last season a lot of the time but when Biega is floating in 10 wristers for the corner of the blue line with zero traffic in front should they really even be counted as a shot? No, but they are.
