There can't possibly a slower lineup in the NHL than the Flames.

Calgary Snails.

“Posting 2 helpers in his @Canucks 5-1 beating of the Golden Knights on Saturday, Quinn Hughes has already reached 20 assists in 2022-23. Needing just 17 games to do so, Hughes is the 2nd fastest to the mark on this rather notable list of starts to a season from a young defenceman” #generationaloffensivetalent

No, that would kill the feel-good story!

If you look year over year most all the highend offensively talented players lead the league in turnovers. While trying to create offensively. He’s a small offensive dman, you have to accept the good and the bad.

Currently tied with the likes of Shea Theodore, Thomas Chabot, Noah Hanifin for 5v5 GA this season.

He has the same goal differential as Devon Toews! 1 better than Hedman

Amazing how we think things are bad but the stats tell us different.

Could the sell now blow it up logic also be inaccurate?

Maybe the math proves patience pays off. Either way plenty of time until TDL.

I feel like Dries is becoming sneaky dirty that’s what I want from the third line I don’t mind walking over the line regularly it creates chaos and in chaotic games teams that score win the Canucks can score so they need some bumholes to stir up poop for quick shot goals

That 4 th line is a young version of the new 4 th line they skate and hit hard and are youngish and have good size they are fun to watch

- Nucknab23

Finally starting to see some stability from lines 3-4. Hopefully this is a turnaround.

Only 3 points out of WC spot.

Vegas looked like the golden showers lol, nice effort from the team on to the next one and keep that ball rolling, slurp slurp slurpeeeeeeeeeeee! Lol
- Bettmanhatesus

Vegas had a great start but reality will sink in. Not a deep PO team either.

None of those things will/could happen. So yes, blow it up.
- 1970vintage


None will happen is the safe bet but look at the trend of these players. Why eliminate the possibility? So as to preserve the blow up move?

If this trend continues imagine Canucks could have: a Selke winner in EP40; a Rocket Richard winner in Bo Horvat; and a Bruce there it is Coach of year in BB. Maybe even a Jennings goalie duo in Martin and a recovered Demko. Okay the last one is a huge reach with so many goals have been scored against.

I don’t believe any of the above will occur. But then again the Canucks tend to do the unexpected.

So sell and blow it up still…?

What does FA say?

Nope.

Will only go see the woke NHL now if the tix are free. No way ever paying for that crap ever again. We have Mens AAA and Junior A in Blackfalds now way better value and entertainment.

Some just have players they don't like and will never like because of reason's I don't know.

I don't think a small portion of numbers tells the whole story. Hughes has not been good at times this season but he is clearly a steps above the rest of this defence.

The stats tell everyone that the Canucks are as good as their current record shows. That's not to say they won't turn it around.

They give up far too many chances from the front of their net. They have the same issues that have plagued them for years and not much as changed except for adding to the best top 9 in the league.

Vegas has been healthy all season except for their goaltenders. Know that won't last.
