This is hard to tell from losing hockey to me.

This is going to be hard to watch this season.

My God, what a discombobulated, limp performance so far.

[Megaterio Llamas]

They could sign Bunting, Tarasenko, and Stanley and still be really bad.

[Lancer]

Well, that was a bit fortunate.

Question regarding Game threads this season:

Does the poster who creates the game thread starts the next one if the Canucks win or lose the game?

The goal is to draft high next spring so losing is winning

Yeah but remember we might lose games, but we weren't going to play "losing hockey".

It looked to me like they adjusted to the Crackers speed and played alot better over the second half. It's something at least

I guess that was a vision Malhotra had when he out Petey with Lekk and DeBrusk.

Well, the boys are showing up, at least, it seems.

[Lancer]

This is a better period. Some sustained pressure, even if seldom threatening. That said, the Petey goal was textbook.

[Cornuck]

Nice showing by D-petey!

The players on the bench approved.

[Hockey Widow]

Plan the parade.

Winterton was begging for a left after all those rights.

Great end to the preseason.

Pp at 50%.
Ep40, 2 pts, 79% in the dot.

Mostly, showing some grit and coming back for the win.

It's going to be a long season, but if they can pull off some nights like this, it will be tolerable.
