Who cares? Our entire preparation for this season is revolving around our players NEEDING to get out of the gate swinging. So why are we icing such a bad roster?

Because that's how things generally are early in the pre-season. Teams dress more regulars in the home games than the away games. Its not just the Canucks, other teams around the NHL do the same. Its disappointing that some of the kids didn't step up but people need to chill.

You would never see this many call ups in ANY scenario like at all! In fact if they were trying to simulate a call up there would have to be a few more regulars in the line up. THAT IS PROPER EVALUATION !!!!! Unless this is an abottsford evaluation. Which we all know it’s not. 


Isolating these players and identifying their good and bad traits and habits against NHL level competition is exactly how you establish a solid analysis.  You can’t effectively do that when they are being potentially carried or guided by their NHL linemates.  That’s a false representation. Even in a blowout like this, if you can convert on a share of your duties, the coaches will be able to identify and articulate your bright spots and you may earn secondary opportunities with better players to showcase further.  In a game like this, that’s what the coaches are looking for…and how that can be parlayed at the NHL level.
