we have someone who scores on breakaways! and consistently!!

Pull goalie w/ 5:22 left? ok.

Burrows is a MONSTER!

Burrows was buzzing all over the place prior to the goal. Well deserved. Playing so much better than last year. He's back!

Burrows!

Another Shutout for Miller.

burrows has as many goals as he had all of last season? :suspicious:

that goalie pull with 5min left.... wtf? jack adams award winner right there

I don't blame you for having old school hockey thinking there but with advanced statistics, the goalie pull will happen earlier and earlier if the score is 2/3-0.

Yeah, this is actually happening... :fuckyea:

lol its nice to see and i'll enjoy it now
i just hope this is still the case in March ~top 10 at least.

I hope they keep this secret away from the media spotlight and the bandwagon fans

I'm more surprised about the Islanders. Who saw that coming??

Goes to show how quality goaltending will help a young team. Take note Edmonton.

I called them as a playoff team before the Boychuk and Leddy trades. Those two trades obviously helped cement it even more.

Leddy, Boychuk, and Halak have been great additions to that team. They always had the offense, they just needed a capable D to back it up

Yeah, their D has been huge for them this season

NYI were a playoffs team last year until Tavares injury. Why else would Snow trade for Vanek....lol

^^ I agree. I thought they were close last year too. But ya, someone pinch me and wake me up that the Nucks are doing this well this season.

Full props to the moves GMMB and Linden have made thus far.

looks like Benning knows what he is doing
lots of optimism this season

Horvat
Vrbata giving life to the Sedins
Burrows rekindling it
4 lines can roll (Had Horvat centering Hansen and someone else, which is pretty dan good 4th line)
Miller
Forward prospect group looks rich

D on the farm isnt quite there yet though. Hope we get to acquire a blueliner

Can we tell the Ryan Miller complainers at least?

Dorsett has been a good acquisition thus far

A legitimate fourth liner who plays his role well

Miller is a real surprise to me. Expected him to be good but Benning was right that once we solidified our goalie position to win, the team plays better. Calgary is another example with Hiller. Compare them to Edmonton with Fasth?

Bonino is a big surprise too. I thought he would fall back a little on points scoring since he wasn't playing with Getzlaf and Perry as often or on the PP with them. He's 19 points in 23 games.

Canucks have the most road wins in the NHL 9-3-0
