“As soon as we scored that first goal, I felt like we had a mental advantage on them. They seemed to be on their heels a little bit. They were just flipping pucks out and we kept coming at them and got another goal and after that, I thought we pressured for a fourth and it didn’t come until in this shootout,” Predators defenceman Mattias Ekholm said.

That’s probably how long your sell them all rebuild will take. But that’s not what I was talking about. The Canucks aren’t ready to sell this early in the season. Plus buyers aren’t able or willing yet to take on big trades.

So, your answer is "yes", stand pat with this team and hope they keep 'learning'.

They swapped out 5 forwards and a few defensemen as well. Takes time for chemistry. Keeping Motte and Richardenson was key.

Sounds like a re-tool.

The Aquilini plan.

Ducati wins the MotoGP Championship, 1st time since 2007 and Francesco Bagnaia becomes the first Italian to win the Championship on a Ducati in 50 years.

Canucks with a lead are weak minded.

No. But you are expecting something that can’t happen yet. Don’t worry they probably will learn in time to sell.

I might be a bit old school, but back in the day "learning how to win", was simply "losing".

In Canucks terminology it isn't called "sell"

It's called a salary dump.

Like I said he looks off and slow plus some basic structure. Ian Clarke has a big job here I'd roll with Martin for a bit a see where things are. Hopefully he stopped at two doses of that monkey-piss but who knows maybe he's boosted to the nines...

Feeling vindicated as I’ve been saying how overrated he is for years . Just like the rest of the “core”

Hoping it's just a funk for Demko and he's not turning into another version of Cory Schneider.

Watched a bit of the game last night. Dozed off when it was 3 to 1 and woke up it ws halfway through OT.

I didn't even question what happened, I just thought to myself this is the Canucks.

That's all.

Although it is nice to see them dropping the gloves, I would like to see them being physical on the forecheck, especially the top 9, who are mostly a bunch of pansies.
The new 5 million dollar Russian 3rd liner had at least 5 opportunities to hit people last night, but chose the all to familiar fly-by.
Just bump someone for (frank)s sake.

And I guess, as a reporter, I’d follow up with “what was going on last season”, or “how many games do you need to learn how to win or play 60 min”?

Pretty much, along with the same post mortem.

I'll start checking out the top 10 NHL draft prospects soon.

Not sure if you caught Foresberg on the fire check, taking the body and the puck.

Ya, I was shaking my head, asking why can't a Canuck do that.

Toughness isn’t fighting. It’s being hard to play against. Winning board battles. Overcoming adversity. Etc. Canucks are dead last in all of these areas

Keep an eye out for BPA skilled wingers

Hoping it's just a funk for Demko and he's not turning into another version of Cory Schneider.
- LordHumungous

I doubt that will happen. Schneider never really proved he was a starter here in Van. Once he started playing over 45 games a season in NJ it went downhill really fast.
