CanucksCritic Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Not good enough to make the playoffs, not good enough to get a high draft pick. Just fucking watch it happen. Again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Just now, Joshua.Guy said: The rookies can't look good because it's a whole damn team of hopefuls in preseason, going against actual NHLers. Two or three rookies vying for spots may stand out but they're fully outclassed out there and can't possibly make a difference. So our rookies will never pan out? Is that what you're saying? God now that IS depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyD Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 After the way this preseason is going it might be a blessing for Willander not to be getting a look quite yet. Pretty much would have been fed to the wolves thus far and he still needs to take some steps to get better to be well ingratiated with the fans.

Snoop Hogg Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 1 minute ago, MikeyD said: McWard is kind of that guy for me this year. First in like 4 years where I've been truly excited over somebody in preseason. Hirose looked good too. Same with Bains. He may not be quite ready, but he will be sooner rather than later. If the Canucks had dressed their full team and stunk it up, I would be very concerned too, but they haven’t and I’m not. Don’t panic. Even if it becomes as bad as you think it does, I would expect the team to be blown up too. I have more faith that it won’t though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not we are making crap up. Same thing happens every year until they change that. We haven't even see the full roster play together yet, relax. We lost 2-1 in OT to the Oilers with their best players playing. & tonight 3-1. It's not like we are being destroyed. & don't even try to tell me the Calgary game meant something.

Canuckfanforlife82 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I just want them to play hard. They didn't pay hard this game. It's the same players doing it as well. You shouldn't go 15 minutes without getting a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering they put 4 AHL guys out on the ice, I think they got a good look. And they didnt even give up an empty net. However, Joey Dccord is looking like he is ready to play NHL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rekker Posted September 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2023 Three games on the road with a partial roster playing home teams with near full time rosters. Let's see how we look at home with our near full time roster before panicking. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks that watched him closely at the Prospect Camp this Summer will tell you that. He can skate like the wind, but that’s the only part of his game NHL caliber right now. Puck handling especially needs work. Let him cook in college hockey. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
