Can we have Andersen please
Pretty please

[VanillaCoke]

Gotta be Lankinen, next few games set up perfectly for him and demko to alternate starts.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Do everything you did in the first two periods against Seattle and don't do what you did in the last two minutes of period three.

That's it. That's the plan.

 

[rypper]

Canucks will be ringing in the new year in Calgary huh. I bet when a team has a road game on nye they check the schedule with hope that it's going to be somewhere cool like NY or Vegas.

Maybe they'll try to wrap the game up and fly home before midnight.

Brisebois is a freaking legend for hanging around in the organization for going on seven years, doing basically nothing, and playing like 1.5 seasons worth of pro games in the last 4-5 years.

 

[valkynax]

Same defense?

Well, this is gonna be the game where Huberdeau scores hat trick and make himself look like 10 million dollars, it appears.

 

[wonton15]

Lose and the season is over (not really but like yeah)

[Canucks LB]

I don't buy it imo, this canucks medical staff, management, and ownership have a history of making the wrong calls for medical decisions.

----Is this a Hot Take? ----

And like i said, they were stupid for letting him play, I don't care how amazing he was that game.

Extremely short sighted decision, even with rick denying it had an impact.

We had a break as well coming up, Quinn could have chilled for over a week, not a fan of this what so ever.

 

[ManVanFan]

Nevermind haha

f*** f***ity f*** f*** f***

f*** f***ity f*** f*** f***

On the bright side, there might be another pandemic that shortens the season and allows us to make the playoffs in a play in round again

 

[ManVanFan]

Maybe Canucks could get a lotto win to get into like 4th spot.

 

[Nuckles]

We get #1 defenseman Tyler Myers for a couple more weeks...yippee

 

[Canucks LB]

Canucks need to make a move honestly, a Month without Quinn Hughes can kill us.
Don't take a 1st, but move what else we have.

Keep Lekk/Willander and EP2, move next years picks and other prospects for a upgrade.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Last season was wide open for the taking. I am convinced we had a wide open path to the finals that was undone by injuries to Boeser and Demko.

This season? Vegas has been healthy. Dallas is playing games on easy mode. Minnesota looks good. Colorado has improved. The top half of the conference is in a different tier.

May as well shut some guys down by Feb if we are out of the playoff race. I personally hope we do a stealthy spontaneous tank.

You need to make multiple moves here to improve the D. We need a top pairing guy to replace Hughes and another mid pairing guy if you want to make the playoffs. You will likely have to part with EP2 or Lekk.

To me this is the opposite, last year when everything was going great you add to the team aggressively like Rutherford did.

A season like this you only shop long term for another Hronek type deal, and those are super rare trades and difficult to find a partner for.

 

[potatowejj]

Welp, that's the season.

 

[VanJack]

Typical Canucks 'injury news'. Pettersson and Hughes have gone from 'day-to-day' to now 'week to week'. What's next? You can only shudder to think.

Longest serving Canuck in the organization IIRC, his ELC was signed earlier than Boeser and Demko's

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Stoked that I can save a few bucks and skip going to this one lmao.
