There seems to be this view in the Canucks media/podcast market that is drawing this strict causation line between last season the team sucking in preseason and then the regular season.

The possible cause of them sucking in the regular season last year being the same cause of them sucking in preseason last year does not seem to have been strongly considered (it’s because they aren’t a very good team..)

As an aside, I feel sorry for Spencer Martin, having spent a couple of years in the dumpster fire of Vancouver, gets waived and on the same day hears there is a spot opening up in Tampa… only to find out this seasons leading contender for dumpster fire had claimed you.

There's typically no correlation between preseason record and the start of the regular season. Still, for a team that needs a good start like nothing else this has to be disheartening.

They haven't played a game at home yet. For whatever reason it seems the modern gentleman's agreement is you ice a losing lineup on the road in the preseason to let the home town fans see a win I guess. I imagine they'll ice a full lineup tomorrow night so we'll see how they actually look then.

They should double bluff and put targets right in the middle of the pads.

Or navy dazzle camo so you can't tell how far away the goalie is or which way he's facing.



Is out to the circles? is he in his crease? who knows!
Reminds me of the mismatched pads Cujo wore in Detroit.


BTW when was the last time you saw an NHL goalie play the puck like that? Maybe it was José Theodore? Turco Grip 4 eva.

Defensively very good while wondering where the offense is going to come from. Looks pretty accurate to me. I’d love to see MAF get his fight too. Still play St Louis 4x a year, but those refs are going to get in the way again.

2016-17 in Boudreau's first year. They were second in goals for and seventh in goals against. Evason's first two seasons were also 5th and 8th in goals for.

I'm going to go with 2003 though for the comedy answer. (24th in goals for, lols)

I dont think I can watch Leafs/Habs part 2 if Suzuki and Caufield arent dressed tonight. That was kind of painful and enlightening last nights game and the one against New Jersey. At least theres always Josh Anderson I guess.

I think we're gonna have to add Dach to Suzuki and Caufield as players that are always fun to watch, but, yeah, last night was rough unless you got the extremely rare fetish of being into watching Justin Barron fumble the puck at the blue line.

Kraken chat: In order for Shane Wright to play meaningful minutes, the Kraken would likely need to bench or trade Alex Wennberg so Shane could take the C spot on the 3rd line. If they were willing to play him for only 4th line minutes, they could bench Pierre-Édouard Bellemare instead.

Should they do one of those things, or just let Wright bake for a year in the AHL, or at least until there is an injury at the NHL level? Shane is only 19 years old.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm

Alex Wenberg should not be blocking a teams best prospect.

But you could also stick Wright on a wing of you need to. Even the AHL seems fine tbh

Going by faceoffs Seattle centers went - Wennberg 1C by a mile (1350 draws), Gourde/Beniers (900 a piece give or take), and then Geekie with 600. I'd Seattle are serious about playing Wright they should either be playing him with Beniers or demote Wennberg big time. Hard to see Hak doing either so I'm going with he gets jerked around a ton again at 4c before being sent????
