Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks to name captain — Horvat? — at home opener vs. Kings After starting their 50th anniversary season with two disappointing road losses, the Vancouver Canucks will be kicking off their home schedule with a celebration — and the naming of the team's new captain — when the host the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night at Rogers Arena.

Thanks Carol,

I hope they win tonight. That said i'm not buying into the hype fest. It's been a long haul.

Thanks Carol! Imma go with a 4-2 Canucks win, line shakeup coming through.

I predict a win tonight. The team will be pumped to play for Bo and his C.

3-2 Vancouver.
Pettersson, Pearson and Myers.

Thanks Carol.

With both Miller and Horvat on the 1st PP unit, it will get going I think. Still, winning those face offs only goes so far when Edler is going to fumble it over the blue line or hold it until a defenders shins are just a couple of feet away and bounce it off him and have to chase it down. The change will come eventually I'm sure but do we really have to verify Edler is that player this season after watching it for years?

Preach

I don't think he's terrible on the PP, but he's better suited on the 2nd unit. It feels like most of the top PP's in the league just stack their 1st units and leave them on the ice for 70-90 seconds of the PP, that's what I'd do with EP, Brock, Bo, Miller and Hughes.

Thanks Carol.

Gonna take a bit longer for chemistry to show through here with line juggling already.

4-1 Kings Boeser with the goal.

Usually we are a red carpet for teams coming off the back/backs so can't really see a win here.

Yep.

Took VAN to win by 2 tonight. 6-1 Odds, decent margin.

Canucks have this easy. 4-1. I’ll be 20 minutes early for the first game in my life. Go Bo!

Thanks Carol
How about Demko for the start
Nothing like a good goaltending controversy to start off a season.

Oh man. I hit the jackpot with this one. We went to cirque du soleil (she spent $400 on tickets) and we left at the 5 minute mark to run back to my place lol

Thanks Carol.

Called shut out last time vs Flames.

I think that the odds are right. 6-1 for the Canucks tonight.

I'm surprised he didn't play in the 2nd game honestly. Maybe they would have won then.

Green will be gone by Xmas if they aren’t close to a playoff spot. Probably won’t be long

Good bet. Not going to be an easy game but the likelihood of a win is much higher than 6-1 especially with some common sense changes being made.

Just look for the girl on the phone the whole game... even when the kiss cam comes on.

I lost another player who was scoring in my pool. Bye bye Hornqvist
