Carol Schram: Brock Boeser signs and Jake Virtanen shines as Canucks' preseason begins Brock Boeser's new three-year contract is a good deal for both sides and means the Vancouver Canucks have no salary-cap pressure heading into the new season, and Jake Virtanen spoiled the party in Calgary with a two-goal night to give a bare-bones Canucks roster a 3-2 overtime win over the Flames in split-squad action on Monday.

Thanks Carol, you always seem to be the voice of reason in the Vancouver Media!

Thanks Carol! Yay, hockey!!

So much to write about now. You must be in heaven Carol!

I wonder how Ferland will feel after taking a few Petey pucks off the body in preseason?

Retire Granlund's jersey??

Ring of Honor??

Big if true!!

Thanks Carol. Edmonton with the weaker squad so hopefully our guys trample them. Tough to say though, looks like they have more who have something to prove.

Can one of you twitter copy & pasters put Drance’s tweet with his picture of Benning in here?

Just realized the tweet is like 17hrs old... (frank)ing twitter - pic’s priceless nonetheless

Thanks fur the post.

Also, "

even Mitch Marner admitted that he got personally involved in his own negotiation and was anxious to sign so that he could join his teammates and get rolling

"

Who cares if he got involved? is he supposed to be some kind of hero?

Let me know if you have Rantanen/ Point, getting involved... Those are the big fish... Just saying...

Thanks Carol, I'm curious to see how Hughes and Bouchard compare.

that’s a terrible picture. We all have them, but almost every single one of his are. Suppose that is bound to happen with cameras in your face constantly..

I really wish he’d come out at the end of his time here with some high English Oxford accent and explain this bumbling idiot persona was all a ruse and he was having quite the laugh about it over his afternoon teas.

Boy wouldn't that be nice. Unfortunately he was born in Alberta.

Green early on has Goldy and Jake fighting for a roster role the hard way.

Green's camp coaching showed some dividends on Jake so far.

Goldy needs to produce tonight. Sven and LE roles still a mystery.

1st round of cuts

Green has a special spot for Goldy soon enough.

Haha thanks... If this was the best of a bunch of pics, that’s (frank)ing hilarious. If they just took this one and went with it, that’s kind of cruel - and (frank)ing hilarious

I forgot Woo is going back to junior's, I had thought he was old enough to play in the AHL.

Was there any physical play in either of the two games last night?

That is the picture of a man who is lost.

imo preseason goals mean very little and jake hasnt shown much of any growth from last season so far

The patience & snipe on that OT winner (IMO) shows massive growth. If totally deliberate, a play I didn’t think he was capable of making. Most guys aren’t. Very promising if it wasn’t a one-off.

Yeah it really makes you wonder what their other photos looked like Either they're out to make him look bad or this is genuinely the best they could do

The back of his head would be better, but it's nice to think the media have an agenda.
