I think they should get 'mike holmes' in to check that partition, i'm sure it was never inspected. lol
i think roy was even surprised at how easy he got it rockin, pretty shabby work, whoever did it.
good game for sure, lots of speed and energy, would have been closer without the hamhuis and higgin's
errors.
san jose has a very powerful team, even without a couple of strong players who are injured.
they are very big and very fast with the new additions, not the slow team we use to see.
it will be interesting to see them play chicago.
luongo played well, he has been sharp ever since the opener.
too many penalties, but good penalty killing.
I see the shot blocking is alive well under torts, poor tanev must be black and blue allready.
I like the effort.
san jose 4 canucks 1
I thought they matched san jose for the first ten minutes or so, but yes, we must recognize when they
are playing a 'better' team than they are.
san jose has been a threat for some years now, but seem to have sizzled out somewhere in the playoffs,
BUT, they now have the best team they have had 'ever', every line is a threat, their new players are a
threat, their goaltending is solid, so at this early point I will go out on a limb and, (without serious
injuries), I will predict san jose to be right there at the end. They are similar to the canucks, as they
have players who are beginning to age, and now is the time they must do it, or they will be past their
'freshness date', and will lose those top players, 'thornton', and others.
I like the canucks so far, they will get better, as 'unlike' san jose, who are continueing with business
as usual, and don't have to stop and learn a new 'system', so canucks will continue to improve under
torterella, and we will see them win their share of games.
I think the western conference will be stronger than the east, they are deep with teams who
are very talented, so canucks and the others will have to push hard to make the playoffs, BUT, as I always
repeat, 'once' a team makes the playoffs, anything can happen, so hopefully they will be there to do
battle.
now that detroit are in the east, I think they are a strong threat to be
the strength of that conference.
I was trying to get a reaction. I agree they looked not too bad for the first half a period or so. They did start to run around a bit after San Jose scored. We have to remember that San Jose was the team that swept Vancouver last year. in the playoffs. At the moment, it looks like they could do it again..........:smile:
If you go to ESPN and click on "schedule" you will see ticket prices, some as low as $8, Canucks tickets are among the highest at $113. What gives with that B.S.?
You're not kidding, I think even a "delicious" tea bag can be had for about 3 cents, add a couple more to heat the water and a couple more for sugar and for a dime they could still be making a profit.-
Oh, I notice it was "to go" so they might not get the paper cup back!
That makes perfect sense. Just hard to believe in those other huge cities like Boston and St. Louis they can't find enough fans. Sure not the case in Winnipeg though-

if you have seen tickets for 8 dollars in boston and st. louis, it must be some kind of promotion
for a 'certain' number of tickets, because those cities draw very well.
just like detroit, who have suffered economically, and are striving to help the city recover, so
they also have promotions to help fans come to the games. in normal times detroit sells out, and
have done so for years.
so each city has their own story, can't compare any of them to canadian markets.
sometimes we mention that if we lived in phoenix we could get excellent season tickets and attend
most of the games affordably, and we could see canucks when they come to phoenix and all the other
teams as well, would be fun, and we could go to major league baseball games as well, and some
pga golf tournaments played in phoenix and other places not far away.
oh yeah, forgot about the not so green grass, and the dry desert air, and 'no' ocean, I just changed
my mind, I will stay here, and watch on my large hd tv, just as good, and have the great ocean
breezes just outside my door.
well that building is always sold out, so they must be a specified number for
a specified group of people, not just anyone.
there are some rinks who sell their tickets 'cheap' all the time,
because the buildings are half empty all the time.
that wouldn't be montreal, st. louis or boston.

Canucks are on their way to another President's Trophy! There could be a lot of damage happening when Burrows gets back in the line up!
Listened to Torts on the post game conference. One of guys said, 'the CBC said you should keep your mouth shut and suck it up', referring to the shouting match he had with Eakins. Torts replied, 'I don't give a sh!t what the CBC thinks.'
they played well, non stop effort, although edmonton isn't san jose, but they certainly didn't want
to start the season with two losses. they deserved this one, the better team right after that
first goal, and i'm glad they managed to get that short handed goal, or the momentum early in the
game would have been edmonton's.
and so he shouldn't, and he is right that they didn't know what was said, they sit back there in
toronto and try to be the last word, well, um, sorry but you weren't,
especially you 'glen healy' the biggest mouth in the east.
