Morning games haven't been typically kind for the Canucks. Hoping that changes tomorrow

I don't understand why they would have an early morning game on the east coast with a west coast team. I guess some sacrifices need to be made to make the schedule work, but it seems like an oversight.

This happens once or twice every season and I think we end up losing these games 90% of the time.

Hopefully, we don’t get Carter Sandlak as ref..His awful game management calls last year, gave the Wings a win in a game they had no business being in.

You would think a guy like Pettersson your highest paid player and 5th highest paid player in the NHL would step up his game to another level with the injuries and players missing Canucks have right now, but he just doesn't seem to have that next gear at all. Bad signing.

Jesus they've been rebuilding for ages and have a solid top pairing, Larkin/Raymond/Debrincat, and not much else (Rasmussen if we're really stretching here).

If you can't draft well, you have to be able to pick up guys in free agency/on the trade market, and they've been piss-poor at that.

Say what you will about the regression of our bottom 4 this year (which is still miles ahead of where it was with Benning), but Alvin has done a tremendous job at filling out the bottom of the roster up front with solid, reliable depth at a bargain price.

Teddy Blueger would be 5th on their team in goals and points.

At least it's not the first game of the trip. The team has been adjusted to east coast time for over a week.

Bad take.
