He pushes it to be better and has a standard and he lets us know if we’re not following it.” I want to help this team win, and for me, I knew I had to get stronger, play hard and do my part to be a teammate you can rely on. “I’m not the youngest guy on the team anymore and this is my fifth season. Simple math suggests the Canucks will need at least 98 points to finally get back to the post-season. It’s always interesting to see how those on the outside perceive the Canucks.

Miller takes a pass from Boeser and wires a wrister to the far side glove on Campbell, who was on his knees and reaching. This is a noticeable improvement in his game to be harder on pucks. Canucks beat reporter Ben Kuzma is in Edmonton for Game 1 of the regular season.

Gamethread #1: Canucks vs Oilers (Nucks Misconduct)

It never hurts to ask....so how about an opening night win in Edmonton of all places! Getting an early season victory at the start of a 5 game road trip is what ...

On paper, the Canucks have three lines that could score plenty of goals. High hopes abound in Canuckland and yet the cupboards are filled with our favorites beverages to ease the pain we have become accustomed to. I would like to see a different style of game from the Nucks this year, especially in the first period, where they would give up the first goal early, then take a couple dumb penalties so the offence would have to wait until the second period.
