Canucks 0-4, worried yet?

firestar · #1 (**permalink**) Sep 22, 06

Yikes. I know it's just the pre-season. But they got eaten by the ducks tonight. I dunno about this, I'm already a little worried! Shots are 28-8 at this point in the game, just so you know.

I know they're playing a bunch of young guys, but they're planning on playing a bunch of these guys for the season. 10 canucks penalties at the end of the 2nd period. I'm not recognising 3/4 of the names on the canucks team.

Yikes..

Who is on the ice for the Anaheim team.

p.s: Anaheim is projected to do pretty well this year

this year at the very least is going to be an adventure. As a canucks fan, i'm used to being disapointed....so i don't hold much faith in the team. Looking forward to seeing the new style of play this coach will bring to the team.

dude i'm at work, so i had to check nhl.com to see who's actually playing in this game.

but take this into account. they have niedermayer, pronger both playing.

selanne, mcdonald, kunitz and giggy is playing the whole game.

where as the canucks have 8 guys that i have never heard of. then guys like rypien, grabner, green etc. and sedins aren't even in the game.

please oh please let's treat the pre-season like what it is. nothing but a joke, and additional risk to superstars.

^ yep already Malkin is out.

and there are and will be others.

Niedermayer, pronger, selanne, and mcdonald is like the core of the duck.

p.s: brian burke 5 dave nonis & orca bay 0.

Hot Karl · #9 (**permalink**) Sep 22, 06

Séguin · #10 (**permalink**) Sep 22, 06

corvo is the d-man they signed to help ease the lack of chara. but more on the offensive side. had 40pts for LA last year.

This year is definitely going to be a year of change, yeah they have choked on all the games and Luongo isn't really proving he's worth how much we are shelling out for him... but I have a bit of faith.. it's going to be different and that's what I am most curious about.

Yes, I am a Sens fan. I don't think some rookie getting injured in pre-season is going to matter much.

lol fuck i hate canucks fans, even though i am one

"lets all jump ship when shit hits the fan"...... and we havent even played an actual game with our 'team' yet.

calm down, wait and see what happens. i'm not saying we're going to dominate this year or anything, but seriously if you're a fan, they shouldnt have to.

Pennywise · #17 (**permalink**) Sep 23, 06

Im not at all surprised.

BongMan · #18 (**permalink**) Sep 23, 06

not at all worried

Luongo is still learning the ways of the west. He has never played against most of the players in the west other than like the one game a year that the eastern conference teams would play western conference teams like San Jose/Anaheim.

plus its pre-season i heard the canucks barely dressed any regulars at all.

BongMan · #20 (**permalink**) Sep 23, 06

Ya the Canucks are testing the new talent see who is worthwhile see who can be let go so on and so forth. It is the proper way to play your pre season just look at the NFL.

omega_image · #21 (**permalink**) Sep 23, 06

FYI - canucks interested in Scott Harntell

"According to a source The Vancouver Canucks have strong interest in the 24 year-old winger who is believed to be far from signing an extension in Nashville. The Canucks however are forced up against the cap and are rumored to be offering up a trade that would include agitator Matt Cooke and a prospect, Swedish stay-at-home d-man Daniel Rahimi."

hartnell would be a great addition to the first line.

BongMan · #22 (**permalink**) Sep 23, 06

I don't remember but can team drop players like in the NFL/CFL if so bye bye Schultz it would seem

dave mcnasty · #23 (**permalink**) Sep 23, 06

i'm a little worried

but i think they'll get it together once they play a few more games and a few guys step up

i hope

No doubt, but for him to make demands and no contract and blah blah blah... performance is everything, granted he's an awesome goalie, but he still has to do his job regardless of if he's in the west or the east

KenJi · #25 (**permalink**) Sep 23, 06

Yea but he is still adjusting to his first real tests in the west. That was essentially his first game ever playing for a western conference team. Throw in thats its pre-season and the canucks barely dressed any regulars.

Wait till the real season. I do still think that his contract was a littl much though. but well see his worth come oct
