Why the Vancouver Canucks' Depth Could Dominate the Pacific Division!

[@omfg322]

The oilers fan base doing everything they can to be more annoying then leafs fans

[@briangeary7684]

I watched this a bit ago but have been too busy to put in my two cents. Vancouver will slide a bit. They cannot shoot at 20% again for this season. Like the Wild a few years back, everything they shot found the backend. My thoughts, Edmonton, even without addressing goalie hole, they are formidable and have enough over a season to finish first. Then Vegas, Vancouver, Kings, Ducks, Flames and Sharks.

[@ivantot506]

Finally someone with some positive outlook on the Ducks.

I have been a hardcore Canucks fan, since before you guys were born. I can't envision them having more points than Edmonton, come season's end. Vegas will be in the mix, as well.

[@preslim84]

just like last year?

[@ThomasBlaney-j1g]

100% accurate analysis of Edmonton. Defense definitely questionable and is Skinner good enough to bail out the high danger chances Edmonton will give up? It's not all about offense, it's all about the overall team, top to bottom

Tell us about the defensive depth of the Canucks please. Their best defenceman are forwards.

[@nbooi]

Or hughes. You know the guy. Best d-man in thr league last year. Lol

[@vernonhowell4070]

@@nbooi he’s a 4th forward he doesn’t even know who his own goalie is. Now name me 5 more from all this great depth who actually belong in the NHL and not AHL.

[@nbooi]

@vernonhowell4070 lol, you're completely changing your statement. Hughes had good defensive stats. Hronek is solid. Even myers played good last year. I never once said they have "Defensive depth" i said they had the best defenseman in the league last year.

[@vernonhowell4070]

@@nbooi no team is scary because they have one good d man. Hronek is overrated and showed his true form from December on and especially in the playoffs. The Canucks could very easily be in the draft lottery this year with how bad they are on the back end. Last year was more than likely a fluke year and the fact they play in the worst division.

[@nbooi]

@vernonhowell4070 lol. Well, I guess you're smarter than all the hockey experts that do this for a living. Guess time will tell. 🤣

think oilers will take the division, canucks in a close (3pts? behind) 2nd. think vegas, LA, will have worse years seattle, san jose, anaheim,calgary will still be bad

Oilers haven't won their div since 1987. I have a feeling that won't change this season.

[@3ggh3ad]

@@jax1580 if it wasnt for that 10game losing streak at the start of the season they would have easily won the division. dont get me wrong it will be a close race between vancouver and edmonton, i just think they will edge out the canucks in the end

[@jameshalmosi1550]

Head and shoulders better? Business aside, sure. Oilers are presidents trophy winners easily and the nucks are going to regress.

[@jax1580]

President's Trophy winners easily? C'mon now. Oilers defense is downgraded and they didn't win it last year with a better D. Skinner will struggle with a weaker D corps in front of him, mark my words. "President's Trophy winners easily" is just ridiculous to say given their current situation. In fact, it's ridiculous to say in the best of times for any team.

[@ThomasBlaney-j1g]

I guess Colorado, Nashville, NJ, Vegas, Florida have no chance hey

[@coreyhenry4955]

I’m really expecting a bigger season from nurse, people forget that he is only 15 months removed from having a separated hip, as a defenseman who relies on mobility he earned a 9.25 million dollar contract he is way better than that season

[@DC-yl4vc]

Lol Nurse sucks

[@mph650]

Nurse making $9.2M is ridiculous any way you slice it.

[@coreyhenry4955]

@@mph650 2 seasons ago he had 43 points was +26 had 1 ppg and 2 shg and 2 seasons before that he had 16 goals was +27 with 7 ppg and averages 22:43 toi is very his career Is part of the leadership core… the oilers core is known for being able to bring in “problematic” players and not only have those players not been a distraction or noisy the team is well known for being exceptionally closenit.. If nurse was ufa this year would teams be lining up to give him that contract… absolutely not but he wouldn’t be scrounging around for a pto he isn’t a perfect player and he likely won’t get the opportunity to been an Olympian but he was in that conversation when they were talking about the possibility of the 2022 olympics At the top of his game he earned that contract

Crazy takes, leave out the Cup Final near-winner, and put the 1 year show anomaly Canucks in 1st then the Cheater Knights??? 😂

[@wheelingdbag]

I'd put the Oilers near the top of the league too but getting to game 7 of Cup finals means nothing for the following year. Canucks won presidents trophy the year after losing in SCF game 7 and were out in first round, Edmonton didn't get back to finals after the '06 game 7 loss, Calgary didn't return. Lots of great teams got all the way and never got back there. I think they will be back but people need to slow down on just assuming Edmonton is a lock to be back in SCF

[@ryans413]

This was so laughable oh my god how bias can you be. Are the Canucks better than they have been in a long time yes they are but are they good enough to win the pacific again no. They almost lost that spot this last season to the Oilers which were dead last at one point in the season. If the Oilers come out hot and stay hot the Canucks ain’t winning nothing we all know the Oilers will take the pacific if they stay hot.

[@travzimmerman1340]

You going to be OK?!?!?

[@6hughmungus9]

Coilers fans are hilarious, cope harder. Nearly lost to an AHL/fringe backup level goalie who couldn't stop a point shot and nearly got swept in the scf if Bob hadn't turned into a sieve. The Canucks play a really structured and disciplined team game and have a well built roster. Oilers have 2 guys they hope can win them games. Tell me again who's more likely to falter over a long sample size?

[@omfg322]

Canucks downfall aside from injuries was 0 winger depth. They went out and fixed exactly that. Can their D be better? Yes but having a noris trophy winner is still great

[@ryans413]

@@6hughmungus9 why didn’t they beat the Oilers then if they played a well structured game. Because the Canucks got outplayed the Oilers figured them out and came back and won. They did the same thing to the Stars and the Panthers just the Panthers were able to hold on.

​@@ryans413 Oilers would have lost playing their AHL goalie too. Panthers wouldn't have made it to the SCF without Bob. See how this works?
