Ya, at first I thought this might work but if they can't keep up, no good.
Jake has got to play more or it's a waste. Was showing bright spots on a few fronts but need to see more.

Killer Bees for the win.
Honorable mention.. Markstrom and Tanev..
Was trying to think when was the last time the Canucks had a rookie score a hat trick?
dahliwal mentioned the last Canuck rookie 20 or under to score a hatty was Linden way back in the early 90's lol.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Didn't I hear Grabner was the last rookie to score a hat for the Canucks in 2010?

So be honest...would the Canucks look better with another scoring/skating/speed line that included Jake rather than the slow and soft line currently occupied by the alumni-escent Sedins and Jake?

Linden had a hell of a rookie year, think it was 88/89. Almost beat the Flames in the first round all by himself.
He never saw the minors?
Other than 94, that's when I thought I saw Trevors' best hockey.

I probably would take Marner and I think most people would. That said Brock is looking damn good.

Alot easier said the morning after a career night for BB while MM is in the middle of his sophomore funk.
Marner has had some unreal games so not sure that's a given just quite yet

It's Micky Mouse vs Big Bertha. Bubbles goes with the mouse?

I was thinking it was time to move Jake up to play with Burmistrov and Gagne. Let Vanek toil on the 4th line with the twins and see some PP.

Gaunce is now back so Megna will be sent down. Where does he play and who sits. A twin?

IslandNuckles is waiting for the slump in order to return to the CC. All of this goodness isn't sitting well with him

Sitting a Sedin is not happening, I would love it, and it's what should happen, but it's not happening

A few comments;
After seeing too much of Gagger, I'm hoping Louie is healthy soon.

HW, Hank centering Vanek and Jake, Give Bermashave-Dan-Gagger 5 sheltered minutes a night.

I laugh at folks talking about how it is now Bo's team...that was apparent a year ago to anyone paying attention.

Some nifty D play by the Flake (Big Tuna to his team mates).

Sutter is a beast, Dorsett is the flash, but it is the work of Granlund and primarily Sutter that is driving the team.

"Genius GM Jim" won't last the season.......LOL

Tanknation is stuck in a ditch.

Wanted to see someone (Gudbranson) challenge Malkin for the stick to the skates sending Bernashave into the corner.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

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