Canucks record is pretty good, 10-3-2 last season on HNIC, and 7-2-3 on the last dozen "Hockey Day", so lets hope they don't repeat the opening night debacle and get gassed on national TV...

Backlund in out with an ACL sprain, Cammelleri & Kipper are day-to-day, so there's a good chance that we'll be facing Irving.
