Wait, Canucks are on regular Sportsnet television tonight? Wow, something special is happening!

The last 2 games relying on the stream + audio from the radio broadcast sucks, especially last night's game where the only footage we got was the jumbo tron footage in Seattle which was just cringy.

 

However, it's still much better than pre-Seattle days when we had to play the Sharks in pre-season in San Jose and those games weren't even broadcasted. As in no footages at all, it's all radio. Those days sucked.

CFC has been fairly even keeled but Twitter seems to be in midseason form freaking out about Petey’s play and Miller… not playing.  
 

Did we not learn anything from last pre-season? These games mean nothing to the vets beyond a tune-up. 
 

Fun to watch prospects like Raty and Mynio come in and shine or new pieces like DeBrusk and Sherwood do their thing.  Also, nice to see the goalies all looking capable out there. 
 

Who knows how Petey will do once regular season starts… but pre season is a tricky thing to use as a measuring stick.

I'm hoping to see Alriksson and Kudryavtsev play tonight. Excited that Canucks hockey is coming back. Have to keep in mind all of these games are basically tryouts and practice, and the results aren't too important. Nice to win though. 

 

I've got a feeling that Blueger could be close to returning. Maybe he'll be ready to start the season?

 

Heinen - Miller - Boeser

DeBrusk - Pettersson - Sprong

Hoglander - Suter - Garland

Di Giuseppe - Blueger - Sherwood

Aman

 

...is my guess

 

It seems it wasn't too long ago the Canucks prospect cupboards were pretty bare and now they have many in the system (Lekkerimaki, Raty, Bains, Karlsson, Alriksson, Fernstrom, DPetey, Kudryavtsev, McWard, Mynio, Willander, etc)  The present and future look bright.

Honestly man, you're not giving the fans enough credit.  Peteys eye test on effort and engagement goes back 40 games.   This 100 percent means something.   We all want him to do good but this is not a point production thing....it's a try thing.    Most of us are 30 years or more invested.  It's totally OK to be concerned.

Hope Aman rekindles what me appreciate him as a player when he first joined the Canucks.  His skating/work rate combined w his range was really effective.  Bleugar is a great player comp for him when hes at his best.  He’s in danger of getting surpassed by Raty and Sasson
