The Vancouver Canucks take it over the Seattle Kraken in preseason NHL action 4-2. Braeden Cootes and Jonathan Lekkerimaki shine with Evander Kane who also made his Canucks debut. All three had points and could we see Cootes make the team straight out of camp? Elias Pettersson also looked good today, promising signs from number 40.

No offence to him but willander definitely isn’t ready for NHL Éthier
Hey @DeanerHD, we're getting excited for the upcoming season!
I also really liked that play when Petey faked the one timer to boeser for a solid shot
Hell yeah, keep em’ coming Deaner!
Kraken beat the Oilers at home. Canucks beat Kraken at their own home. Last year the Abbotsford Canucks took the home Oilers to a shootout in the preseason. Will be interesting to see how it goes this time. A lot of incentive to beat them since they made the finals twice in a row
Maybe give him a few games if he continues to impress, but i would not risk it
I couldn't watch the entire game but EP40 looked way more dangerous. Wanting to shoot more, making cross-ice passes, screening the goalie right in front of the net, etc. Great to see!
Lekky looked far more dangerous. Atu Raty has the 4 C spot. The Canucks have to use their players to either trade them or play them. 18 year old kids very rarely belong in the NHL.
Mancini likes Linguini!!!
Cootes was one of The Best players yesterday. Absolutely no reason to send him down unless he starts to have bad games
I don't want to hear anything about "Petey looks good in the preseason!" Canuck fans are so cringe.
Cootes wasn't just one of the best prospects on the Canucks, he was the best player on the ice. Can't recall a pick of theirs this ready for the nhl at 18. Responsible on defense, assertive on offense, forecheck beast, no way you send him down.
Just a question???when we drafted Quinn did we send him down 🤨 …..what a great decision that was 😅
He is not physically ready for the whole season, that being said him starting on the roster and then going back to Seattle after a few games wouldn't be bad. He should be playing on the world Junoirs this year, that should really help his development.
I thought Petey looked good. Hopefully he gets a nice start to the season and can ride some momentum. He's more prone to the ebbs and flows of confidence than any player I've ever seen, but at his best he can really be a force.
Let's not get carried away.
The game started, I thought, oh great here we go again.
But just like Footer said, wants them to be adaptable. Thats exactly what they did.
Lots to like about this game.
I think lekkerimaki is a star too
We love Cooter.
If this is the type of offence we are looking for every night then this season will be so much better than last years tocchet hockey
Cootes can scoots! He was everywhere!
You can’t really teach NHL IQ and speed..
Bros got em both. Great pick at 15!
Cootes is the future captain of this team, he plays his cheeks off and should be able to play up the line THIS SEASON!
