So the Canucks are 6-0 in pre-season, Demitra/Raymond and Pyatt have been a very good trio thus far. While Luongo is godly, as usual.

I'm excited for this season, and I look forward to finishing above Minnesota.

Hockey Talk is the right place to start this thread. Any Canucks thread accidentally started in HT can just be dumped into this one. It will probably stay in this forum until some trolls stroll in and ruin it for the rest of you, likely landing it in Trash Talk.

I hate trolls:(

Ang is right though. The Canucks' threads should all be transferred into this one.

I was referring to future threads.

ed belfour says hi

Are you sure? Cause he looks like he's saying "Aaaugh"....

DJ's "Canucks don't care about MN" originated in Trash Talk if I recall correctly. Or is that not the thread you're referencing?


Let all those other threads get buried. What I meant (and OTH clarified) is that any future Canucks threads started in Hockey Talk should be merged in here.

Well, I guess the torch has been passed on , the last 2 years of my Canucks season threads have been funny/frustrating/exciting all in one

I dont know if I wanna still do the game summaries of all the 52 ( yeah theyre winning 52 games) Canucks wins this season, but I'l definatley be active in this thread

And as per usual...

GO CANUCKS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that the Canadian National Anthem?

NM

You forgot YYYYYEEEEEEOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

A lot of people will be very suprised with how well this team does. And I have been saying this since before the 6-0 pre-season record even came up.

If we can stay healthy we have what it takes to do some damage.

This team should do pretty well, and with the room to add more talent .

I just picked up a 6 game mini pack yesterday, not the best of games but what can you do.

5 more days!

preseason means nothing

it means everything when your team imploded down the stretch the previous season under the leadership of captain choke.

There is no way we can stay healthy...not in the northwest division, something is going to happen and someone is going to get injured.

I'm just glad we have alot more depth at all positions this season....maybe less on defence because of the passing or Bourdon (RIP, Luc we'll miss ya.)
but for the most part unless the Sedins get injured we wont be too bad.

Lets hope we dont have any freak injuries like what happened to Bieksa and Salo last season, those will kill ya.

I'm all with ya, i've known from before pre-season that this team was a much bigger upgrade from last seasons team, no doubt about it.

GO NUCKSSSSSSSSSS

It means a lot when you have a whole lot of newcomers and young guys coming in looking for confidence, winning is the best thing for that, just because their not playing for points doesn't mean both teams aren't going for the win, especially playing against teams in your own division.

Also the Canucks went up against a pretty stacked Calgary team and still got the W without their top line and top 4 D men, same deal with San Jose and about 2 or 3 other teams. If you actually watch them play you can see the difference, these guys are working hard out there, the grit shows, the speed shows, the work ethic is there. Although i'm not getting overly excited about the pre-season, i can asure you, it does mean something.

I agree. I notice in the NFL (I know it's not the NHL) that teams that do well in the preseason don't do well in the regular season and vice versa.

Hey, if you bothered to read my entire post you'd have noticed I said I thought this was a good Canucks team BEFORE the whole 6-0 pre-season thing ever happened.

I know pre-season means nothing, but as of now it's the only indicator we have as to how teams will do.

And the funny thing is, lately we have been playing with not even full rosters while teams like SJ and Calgary(6-1 Canucks) were playing with a roster minus 1-2 players. And the Canucks were sitting key players, such as our top 4 defenseman AND the Sedin/Sedin/Bernier line.

Watch and see what this team can do.

I can't wait for the season to start!!! Anybody know if the game is being streamed online tonight? or is it on TV?

I hope it's being streamed online, I'm in crappy Deadmonton until next Thursday(season opener:D)

Captain Luongo with the "C" painted on his mask now!

Not right now chief, I'm in the ****in' zone!

Another game on live stream at http://canucks.com Ohlund just drilled perry

Wild fan favorite Mattias Ohlund just demolished Corey Perry. Wow.

He got a boarding penalty even though it wasn't even AGAINST the boards. Perry's body was parallel with the boards and Mattias hit him face to face with shoulders to the boards..

5 to Ohlund for boarding
2 to Moen for roughing

Which is very odd since they both dropped the gloves, and Moen jersied Ohlund and was throwing punches...go figure..

Along with Moen who rushed Ohlund and started punching him...gets 2 mins for roughing. That was a mysterious series of events.

1-0 Ducks Mo scored

Sounds like the same old Ducks

Typically a "Boarding" penalty, requires a player to be hit against the boards, not in open ice...

Edler has been way more physical this year, im loving it.

I was JUST saying that to my buddy, man is he throwing his weight around this year. He's a big guy too.

LOL Tommy Larcheid "Giguere is a goalie that looks like he weighs 350 lbs with all that equipment"

Teemu Divanni at it again..

I can't stand Tommy... why people like him I will never understand.

Where do you work?

All I understand about him is he has alzheimers.

Tommy becomes a bigger homer every year I listen to him:Pq

HOLY MOTTTHHHHHHHERRRRR RAYYYYMOOOONNNNDD

Wow Demitra just threaded the needle thru 3 guys legs and to Raymond, for Raymonds 2nd goal of the night..

Now Edler is hit from behind by Perry and Perry isn't called for a thing..

was that from behind hit any different from ohlunds earlier?

canucks marching 1 by 1 to the box.....

We've had 2 hits from behind NOT called by these refs, but a hit at open ice by Ohlund is called boarding.

another "hit from behind" no call on the ducks....

so whos wearing the "c" for you guys since roberto technically cant wear it.

He is wearing it, on his mask.

Nobody wears it, we have 3 A's in Kesler/Ohlund/Mitchell instead.

Roberto is wearing the C on his mask, that is all.

thats a cool way of doing it actually..... yeah the ducks are getting away with some **** that the canucks are marching straight to the box for...
