FIRST IM DIALED
Two years ago they earned 109 points.
Last year they earned 90 points.
Even if they just split the difference they will be have 99 points and they will make the playoffs. Getting rid of the Miller Drama and having just half as many injuries as last year will get them past 100 points and into third place.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!! Let's see y'all's thoughts!
I agree with Dangle with Demko's game limits. I want him to play only every other game for at least the first few months of the year. Maybe increase that to 60% after the trade deadline to get him ready for the playoffs. Also, NEVER play him in back-to-back games. That would be nuts.
10:00 … at the end of last season PIUS SUTER was the Canucks number one centre. This is not a joke. When EP40 was injured at the end of the season, it was Pius Suter who had to take over as number 1. He will do great with St. Louis and that contract will be a steal. The only reason he's not with the Canucks is he was expected to make $5.5 million or more. If they knew he would only get $4.125 million, they would have signed him.
They’re not as good as they were two seasons ago but they are certainly not as bad as they were last season.
Their strength is in goal and on the blue line. Hopefully that will lead to better offence…which is likely the team’s biggest concern.
And I agree with Jesse: Demko needs to be the starter day one.
Thanks for the video and for the optimism! 👊
Boeser said petey was the one who called him and asked him to come back to the Canucks for the long term…the front office was stunned he had done it…but they were having a hard time hiding how pleased they were to resign him that price and term…EP40 seems to be on a different mission than last few years and his defensive skills were lacking but now he’s just got to get scoring again.
