Yabba dabba doo - and a big Russian too.

Thanks Carol

I wonder how the city of Vancouver and the fans will react if Tryamkin makes a mistake tonight. Do we start to see #bust circulating through social media..

Canucks fans have had lots of practice watching mistakes by defencemen this year. Hopefully that'll help ensure that Tryamkin doesn't get judged too harshly!

I just want to see one of our dman actually hit someone. That's all I ask for.

^^ Apparently #Try-savior collided with Hammer in practice yesterday

Why wait until tonight, I'll start it now.

Tryamkin is literally the biggest bust we've ever had.





I might be wrong

Everyone join the Tryamkin bust bandwagon, leaving every 15 mins to the Burrard St. Bridge.

After tonight's game Canuck Lives (may no longer) Matter

I know its due to injuries, but how can anyone dislike where management has this team, with 10-11 players 24 or under in the lineup tonight? In years past, I dont think many of us could name 10 Canuck assets 24 or under, let alone being capable of suiting up in an NHL game. I am pretty interested to watch tonight just to get a good look at what the future looks like

I see the blog has gone silly already lol
Must be a slow day if no other hockey talk.

In years past we never could call up so many that could be called prospects.

You don't see the silliness in talking about what UFAs to sign? At least we're talking about Canuck prospects and their possibilities, not fantasy.

Precisely my point, there would be journeyman or fringe NHLers getting the call to fill roster spots if injuries got this bad in previous seasons. I am glad we can even call these guys prospects, even if some dont pan out long term

Have we ever had a 6'8 and 6'5 d-men suit up in the same game? I just wish this 1st game with the 2 of them was against LA.

Lots of teams have filled their rosters with kids and it hasn't led to success and I also don't see the connection between playing in an NHL game and being capable of playing in a NHL game. Many of these guys are in the lineup to find out if they are capable not because they are capable.

I'm as excited as any to see if these guys are players, I'm just not ready to say that process is a sign that this team is in capable hands.
