#Canucks through 10 games year over year

Last season: 7-2-1 (15 pts) 46 GF/22 GA
This season: 5-2-3 (13 pts) 30 GF/32 GA

wild variance in top 5 scorers through 10 games in each season.

#Canucks PP is the biggest difference here I think.

Through 10 games last season:
- 2nd overall in the NHL
- 35 PP opportunities
- 12 PPG's
- 0 SHG against
- 34.3 PP% (net PP% 34.3)

Through 10 games this season:
- 24th overall in the NHL
- 31 PP opportunities
- 5 PPG's
- 2 SHG's against
- 16.1 PP% (net PP% 9.7)

Top 5 scores last season feasted on the PP which probably explains the difference in the top 5 scores this season compared to last year.

If they can just get the powerplay figured out, they're right there among the best teams in the league. Wild to think that's the case with Pettersson having such a rough go and Miller's form being fairly poor as well, not to mention Demko still being out. Good depth makes a huge difference.

Hilariously, the Canucks have 2 games in hand on the rest of the division, and if they were to win both they would be tied for the lead in the Pacific.

Personally I was trying to understand why and what your mindset is regarding this team, every day you can be counted on to try being edgy with your #11.6, or whatever idiotic comment about the team. I honestly was trying in engage you and see if there was any substance upstairs. It is obvious that not only have I noticed how negative you post daily but also others have, so if you plan on being sarcastic and negative you should expect people to call out the negativity, instead of just scrolling by.

Now your comments regarding NYN blogging content and style is out of line, York Newbury stepped up to give this group a fresh page to converse with other fans of the team. Your comment to NYN is of a petulant child being called out for being negative day in day out, and crosses the line. It’s time you moved on to the extremely popular Oilers blog where you thank Sean for his insightful blogs and there it ends.

I'm ok being called out for negativity. But that's where I'm at right now regarding certain aspects of the club. Yorky and few others don't like it too bad. Can't have their cake and eat it too as I don't kiss his ass in the blogs or support his politics.

Ironic thing here is that since 2014 since coming on here I have been quite a positive poster for many years...just now it seems to be an issue as I don't slurp the narrative. It's fantastic the irony where Yorky and most of the champs called myself and others 'slurpers' or 'pom pom wavers' many dozens of times...but yet here we are in a reversal of roles as I'm being critical of the team and yes his blogs as well. You, Yorky or anyone don't have the right to tell posters to 'move to another blog'. These champs jumped all over Michael relentlessly for trying to keep the blog going and didn't even give him a chance. That's ok on that end though and if Yorky wants to be critical of my posts and attitude why am I not able to criticize him and his blogs in return? Seems like a bit of a double standard but oh well I guess.

Honestly Mak it's no wonder so many great posters have left the thread full time in the past 4-5 years not seemingly to return. I think many of you folks need to look inward a bit. So I guess I need to go back to being a slurper or Pom Pom waver and hope the Canucks make the PO's...just curious as to when I'll be called out for that too lol.

Cheers dude.

Too far man. The inverse of this is you aren't forced to read it, yet you do. I appreciate what Yorky has done to keep this shitshow together for us. It can't be easy and I respect that. Certainly you were raised better than this. This is a man's time and effort.
- Load Management

If Yorky wants to start dictating policy and where I should post regarding my 'negativity' why should he not be subject to a rebuttal? Michael tried to keep the blog going but all he got was flak flak and more flak. Didn't even get a chance. Yes we miss Carol and it's nice to have a blog I get that, however if Yorky and a few others want to be critical on how I post then expect some criticism back. Fairly simple really lol.

Dud what is up you banned for awhile?

The guy looks motivated this year!!!


“Alex Ovechkin's pace this season:

82 games
— 52 goals
— 104 points
— +60

He's on pace to smash Gretzky's goal record this season.”
- Pacificgem

If you factor in injuries, Lockouts etc...he'd have been past Gretz' record awhile back.

Amazing he can score at that clip in today's NHL

Nobody is sugar-coating his performances. But coming in here and hashtagging and poopting all over him every game isn't doing anything. It's just annoying and childish.

I'm more than happy to not blog. It takes up more of my week than is worth what they pay. I've taken up the mantle to keep this small community afloat, not because I actually enjoy scraping things together for people. But maybe it's time I take a leave and let you have Michael's once-a-month blog, or Lea's once-ever blog to live with.

OK fair enough. But I'd appreciate not being accused of 'no positivity' around the Canucks. I and a few others were quite positive in here during some very dark times and were chastised as slurpers and Pom Pom wavers vehemently...some chased out. So in essence of keeping the spirit alive I will tow the line lol. Just want this team to do well and get us that cup before we all drift off into the spirit world or whatever.

Being positive by supporting the worst GM in Canuck history.
You can't make this stuff up.

You and Yorky are correct. Time to be better. Apparently some 'lil fellas' can't handle constructive criticism surrounding Petey and the Canucks so slurpees and Pom Poms it shall be. Hell, I might even go get a shingles and a covid vax on the way home I am feeling regenerated around this Hockey club. And it does need positive energy. Let's go Nucks Babay!!!!!

We don't want to criticize nearly as much as we just want you to stop posting here.

I hope he breaks a leg! Literally

Wow! Low blow even for you. Maybe try writing a blog and posting it as a guest.
Good luck.

Apparently if he doesn't like what someone posts he deletes their comment.

This has nothing to do with it. There's a line I think you crossed that didn't involve you defending your point. I don't care where, when, or how you post. But Bro, you can show some fucking respect for his efforts. He's kept this blog afloat in a way that I enjoy reading. Selflessly giving us his time to provide it. It's not something we're entitled to. It's given.

I'd be just as quick to call you out on any thread when you are acting like this.

Sorry Yorky. I think your blogs are fantastic.

He picks fights with everyone here and now is openly insulting the blogger, why does he even post here anymore? Imagine walking into a room full of people who hate you and arguing with them almost every day of your life by choice

Fair enough. But I do think Yorky crossed the line a bit to start. Again, been on here since 2014 and MUCH of it very positive. I don't need policy dictated to me considering what some posters get away with here or told how/where to post. Some is good natured fun but some can be construed as too serious. It appears that many can't decipher between the two and are quite offended by my critical nature on Pettersson and a few other Canuck talking points. So in turn I'll try to be better hopefully Yorky and a few others do the same.
