This has already been disproven, he's stirring poop up.

Rick D reports Mikheyev could skate tomorrow.

Complete different take, we'll see how this plays out?

Ilya Mikheyev had 2 opinions on injury.

Nothing too concerning, could skate tomorrow.

Looks like he's bailed on that take!

Wanted to clarify something from
@Sportsnet650
this morn. I said there was concern from #Canucks initially that Ilya Mikheyev may have suffered torn ACL & they were awaiting update.

Sounds like the prognosis was positive and worst was avoided. Expected to resume skating soon.

I love how they always clarify after being proven wrong, and only after proven wrong.

Bad take from east coast media, good on RW to refute him.

Someone was asking about New Zealand bands, here's a NZ Metal band a buddy just turned me on to. Pretty good video.

Bought their first CD when it came out June 2018. Good stuff.

He’s basically saying: just wanted to clarify, I had no idea what I was talking about.

I’ve seen that before

Who is this?

Quinn, have think skin man, for some here once they decide an outcome they will continue mercilessly.

Thanks. I don’t know what’s said most of the time. Maybe it’s my bad English lol. On that note, does impact of injuries make Canucks go waiver/trade shopping?

Canucks have dropped to 8th place, on the capfriendly leaderboard

Well if EP BH and JTM step up in the absence of BB we should be fine. But with IM on the IR we have CG and NH moving up. TP and JD third line Material? Hard to say but if CL and AK have anything to say they may move up. Let's not forget VP poised for a big year and the other JD...big top 9. Big.

On D we have QH OEL TM and TP top 4 with TD out but wow LS and KB will have something to say in the bottom pairing.

Goalies we should be set with TD and SM but man what about injuries? Personally once Holtby's 1.9 mil is off the books we'll be set. Trust the Science behind this ownership/MNGT group. Big things ahead. Big.

GTFO

Injuries or not the play up the middle & special teams is key.

Don’t take poor penalties. Discipline
High tempo out of the gate. 60mins
Improve break outs creates offense.
Less chasing the game = more success

Pretty simplistic I realize but it’s my take if I were the head coach.

Does the coach have the personnel to execute that strategy?

I mean, any coach can draw up the Colorado model, but without a Makar and a McKinnon it’s tough to execute…

Improving on last season by 6-8pts sounds like not much to me but it is. Probably the amount needed to make the PO’s & given the run after Green was canned makes fans apprehensive for good reason. Cannot afford a poor start again. Imo it’ll come down to the details over 82 games that decides the PO’s or not. I believe they’ll improve in this but it’ll be a total buy in & needs the kids will need to to make strides to make it happen. The vets do as paid & expected should be a given.

Up front & special teams I believe so. The D is where I’m concerned can do as asked. Lots riding on them

Poolman imo is devoid of any offense & very suspect on passing.

Myers is more than passable until he pins himself into the dump off the boards.

Dermott is solid enough but expect more from him in a contract year.

Schenn is good value & being partnered with Bones allows him to be a good compliment & his toughness standing up for teammates is necessary.

OEL plays a poised game & is physical but I fully expect to see more from him after a season here under his belt.

Hughes is Hughes.

Bones will definitely add more offense & skill. Sheltered minutes & PP2 time.

Have no problem with Burroughs as a call up. Versatile to play either side.

Overall I give the D at best 7 outta 10. Don’t see more upside unless OEL &/or Bones stand out. Very easily can be 5 outta 10 due to injuries or eg Myers digresses.

8/10 is what’s needed to be firmly considered a perennial PO team.
