Remember how well he complimented Shea Theodore.
I thought earlier in pre-season, this was the plan?

Oh well. Hope the Canucks remember to keep going for Markstrom's glove side, cause ya know, it's only a matter of time before it reverts.
They need to give quinn some help. Hes getting targeted and its neutralizing him. The offense runs through him

The Flames will be saying the same about us. But, this is just game 3 with half of our back end new to the team.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

Another pre game tribute? Is there anyone we can have a tribute to in our home opener?

Rick Ball will call this game on SN. An earlier migrant from Vancouver when he called for 10:40am TSN. Home opener for the Flames so some preamble to endure..

Hambone can't even handle a simple pass behind the net and almost gets sent into the seats by his old buddy Tkturtle.

This is not working out so well...

I’m convinced Beagle is shite in our D zone. Sutter is too soft of a player.

Hoagie has gotten into trouble with some not so good passes.

Have to expect some rookie growing pains. I know there'll be some going apeshit when he eventually sits out a few, for his own good.

This seems to be the Canucks Achilles' Heel right now, even more so with Hamonic/Hughes.

Oh boy....
