It's going to be a long season for the Canucks. The good thing is the darkest days are behind them and the new Sedin-less era is here.
The Canucks have a plethora of good young talent and prospects. The best of them this year is Elias Petterson. Easterners will get to see him early as the team is on your side for a road trip. This kid has looked sharp in his first two games and might be the real deal. With Quinn Hughes coming in on D next year things are looking up. Coach Green has them playing an aggressive uptempo style that is exciting o watch even if they are losing. It's going to be a long year but should be the last year where we wont make the playoffs or at least seriously challenge.

Bergeron with a hat trick in Boston's win over Ottawa this afternoon. Bergeron - Marchand - Pasternak is a great line. |

Bergeron-Marchand-Pasternak with 8 points in today's win. That line and the Bruins are hot!
Pens playing tonight in Montreal. |

Any Nashville Predators fans? Though I am a Caps fan the Preds are my second team. Fans is Nashville are great and the city itself and the whole area around Bridgestone Arena support the team. Went to college in Nashville many years ago when hockey was not even thought about anywhere in the south. Got to walk around Bridgestone Arena when I visited the Ryman a couple years ago. Bridgestone Arena is a great venue.

Big Leafs fan here, they’re off to a good start this year. ‘67 was a long time ago.

Gotta be one of the best Leafs starts in many years. Matthews and Tavares are hot. I think Toronto is the next Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup - within the next 3 years if not sooner. |

How's Crosby playing? I haven't watched any games but he doesn't have a goal yet.

On the other hand he looked great playing with the Kenyan hockey team.

The way the Pens have played so far (lackadaisically poor defensively) I wouldn't be surprised to see Toronto fill the net against them on Thursday, and HC Mike Sullivan have a stroke on the bench.

Well the real Pens showed up tonight in Toronto. Beat the Leafs 3-0, and dominated play for most of the game. Pittsburgh's team defense was, as the score would suggest, very good.

Quite the accomplishment given how well the Maple Leafs have played.

Nashville won again last night (10/19) Makes them 6 and 1. Pretty good record though it is so early in the season. Caps lost in a shoot out - they should have 2 more wins than they do. Have no idea what's going on with Detroit. Since I am a Caps fan I still vividly remember Detroit sweeping us in the 1998 Cup.

1: Crosby is still the best player in hockey and has experience to back up skills, even if his athletic ability is not at the level of the up and comers. He seems to be acting more like a coach on the ice than the go-getter/goal scorer that fans expect of him. You have to grant that when he's on the ice he makes others look good. He's not like an Ovechkin or a Kessel; he's more likely to get in on an assist that take the shot himself. 2: Murray is a clutch goalie but not the sensation that Marc Andre Fleury was. I miss the option of having Flower in net; he was able to carry the team on his back during scoring droughts. Granted, he still took crazy risks and had concussions but I think that he understood that he had to be athletic in order to not get concussed when the crease got too crowded or the net got knocked off the moorings. It really concerns me that Murray continues to get concussed in practices of all places. 3: the defense is in constant flux. With Schultz being out, Maatta being shuffled around, Le Tang not being the same as he once was and Sully continually changing assignments (outside of the second line) I've resigned myself to the fact that there are going to be breakaways by opposing teams. That being said, I'm keeping an eye on Toronto. I think hockey is overdue for having the Cup reside north of the border during the offseason.
