GDT: GAME #1! - Canucks vs. Ducks - part 2 - New Season, Same Canucks

[TheDiver*]

Three things:

1.) Call up Schroeder...I don't care if that means we might lose Cam "3rd overall" Barker on the waiver wire
2.) Fire Arniel for ruining our prospects' development and confidence this year.
3.) Pray to god Kesler gets back to 100% pdq

Only Canuck fans could blame Luongo and Scott Arniel for this loss and consider Jordan "mediocre" Schroder the saviour...

 

[Orca Smash]

Trade for a goalie!

We need scrivens!

 

[4thlinegrinders]

man the Ducks have always been a pain in the ass for us..

 

[ArtursSilovsShirt]

This team is so horribly mismanaged, with this bottom 9 we're a lottery team, I don't care who's on our top line/back end

 

[Type Not Specified]

We're picking up right where we left off last year, aren't we?

 

[John Bender*]

I really hope our fans are not still this cocky.

I hope to god we win, and my optimism says we will.

But this fanbase also said the kings suck heading into playoffs.

Enough. Stop making sweeping generalizations. SOME fans may have said this.......note THE fanbase.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

The ducks defense looks really good for some reason.

They have Bryan Allen, duh

 

[LevelingSolo]

Hahaha. They won the President's Trophy last year dude. I am down on them tonight too, but fire the coach now? Cmon.

They looked awful down the stretch last season....

they always look good against us

so are you saying edmonton is good? because i'm going to have to disagree with you if that is the case

Hahahaha. Panic much?

Who is blaming roberto? Everyone is blaming schneider.

And he did not have a good game, but nobody really on our team is.

[LickTheEnvelope]

Meh too much complaining. Will still win division.

 

[Canucker]

Any way we can get the lockout back?

 

[Orca Smash]

so are you saying edmonton is good? because i'm going to have to disagree with you if that is the case

Im saying i think were a better team and we win, but they can easily be a good enough team to beat us.

Seriously you dont think edmonton will at least be a decent team this year and could beat us tomorrow?

Are we that cocky we think a team with eberle, hall, hopkins, yakupov, simply sucks?

 

[Blue Suede Shoes]

Some of you guys are so negative. Look at the positive - we'll be a scary team next year with Mackinnon!

 

[opendoor]

Not unexpected. In the 6 years of the AV/Luongo era the team has had a sub .500 record in their first 10 games of the season but a .650+ record in the rest. Unfortunately there aren't going to be as many games to overcome a garbage start this season.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Our offense is just horrendous. But I'm not surprised considering were icing the same team as last year's King's series.

Besides the Sedins there's really nothing else there. When will AV learn to start incorparating skilled players instead of journeymen plugs (ebbett, etc).

But on the positives we didn't lose Ebbett to waivers.

 

[canucksfan]

It is one game. I wouldn't worry about the goalies. However, the second line center position is something to worry about.

 

[John Bender*]

They looked awful down the stretch last season....

Sedin - injured. Kesler - injured.

 

[nameless1]

Unwatchable...

Also can't stand that the announcers are making fun of Weise...
Using the jokes on here...
I am pretty sure they are on HF now.

In their defense, Weise is playing like he is Wayne Gretzky.
He forgot that he is not in the Netherlands right now.

Have you seen the Wolves this year? And Jordan "mediocre" Schroeder is a better alternative than Andrew "horror show in the top 6" Ebbett, especially when the decision to go with that was so we wouldn't risk losing a Barker, Vandermeer, or Ebbett on the waiver wire. Ooh. Lastly, did I mention anything about Luongo?

Eddie Lack ‏@eddielack
Yes I am watching the game. Don't worry Schnieds is gonna be a great goalie this year. One game doesn't make a season...

You tell 'em, Eddie!
