Re: Canucks 2017/18 1st Quarter Report Card
Compared to last year - the Canucks started with a 4 game squeaker-win streak, followed by a 9 game losing streak, followed by 9 games of alternating wins and losses.
8-11-2
After dipping below .500 on Nov 2, they clawed back to 3 games above .500 by Jan20, but by February they were sub-500 for the rest of the season.
The Canucks have won 5 games when giving up the first goal (4th in the league). Last season they won 13 times when giving up the first goal, 20th in the league.
Boeser is 1 point and 2 goals behind Keller for the rookie scoring title, in 5 fewer GP.

Re: Canucks 2017/18 1st Quarter Report Card
Thanks ESQ! It's a bit unfortunate that Virtanen did not get much ice-time to increase the production. Assuming that he will play on the Sedins line the rest of the season, I would assume that he should be able to get more than 30 pts (assuming that he is not going to have late night parties...)ESQ wrote: 2nd Line

Good numbers.
Hope to see LE continue on the trend. I think Dorsettes numbers are skewed because of a couple good weeks.
The problem in the league is that it can be difficult to make up points when some games are worth 2 points and others are 3.

You prefer a 6 point swing to some games and a 1 point swing to others?Reefer2 wrote:The problem in the league is that it can be difficult to make up points when some games are worth 2 points and others are 3.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Quite surprised on this. I've felt the team is much more competitive and would've had better numbers in comparison.ESQ wrote:

Not sure what it represents other than I'm pretty happy with the progress of the rebuild and I can see a substantial improvement in team depth except possibly the defense.

Bo is in year 4, Boesser has sparked while Jake and Jared did not. Sven and Granlund are seeing the reclamation prospect light that Vey did not. Vanek is the best placeholder they've had.

I pulled out those numbers about comeback wins because last season, I subjectively felt like they were never able to come from behind to win. This year, half of their wins have been comebacks.
But what's amazing to me is the feeling that you have to watch every game to the end, because they might pull off the comeback.
It might hurt to lose Dorsett's hot hand, but Eriksson and Granlund are both due to get hot. I'm not sure having Virtanen play on the Sedins' every other shift for 9ish minutes will see him reach his offensive potential.
Up and down the roster, I'd say Dorsett and Boeser are the only two over-performing forwards. I'd say Granlund, Virtanen, and possibly Gagner could be under-performing, i.e. they could heat up while Dorsett and Boeser could cool down.

Re: Canucks 2017/18 1st Quarter Report Card
It really helps fan interest to have a good story like Boeser. Other than his personal success it's pretty well the same sort of core group with much better coachingTopper wrote:This is the charade that management has been calling for all along.

Vey isn’t and never was good enough. Granlund and Baertschi are NHL players.Topper wrote:This is the charade that management has been calling for all along.

Re: Canucks 2017/18 1st Quarter Report Card
Boy, if:
1) Boeser turns out to be the real deal and with Bo + Bearcheese, they become the big line that can carry the offense for this team.
2) the Sedin line and the Granlund-Vanek line can provide consistent secondary scoring.
3) the Sutter line with whoever (Gaunce, Dorsett, Gagner) can continue to be a very good checking line.
4) our D can just play a solid 2-way game. We don't have a top guy who can carry the load back there, but it'll have to be by committee with all the guys doing their part and limiting mistakes.
5) we continue to get solid goaltending from Marky + Nielsson with 2 guys pushing each other.
We'll make the playoffs and I'd hate to be the other team who has to face us. We'll have all the ingredients for a dark horse that can upset some top teams and make a good run in the playoffs.
