It would be good to stay out of the box...

 

PP1:  Miller-Horvat-Pettersson Hughes

PP2: Boeser-Höglander-Garland Ekman-Larsson

 

Otherwise I'm pretty hopeful. With Talbot in goal the team is probably playing a lot more confident.

Going 3-2-1 to start the season on the road ain't too shabby. Home opener for the 'Nucks will get them fired up ... I presume.
A bit like Nashville's energy last game. 

Gah... National broadcast. Time to hear all things Canucks.

Maybe "Shake it off" isn't the best term.

Pitlick in for Duhaine?
And will we ever see Benn?

[Bear]

Wild are moving their feet tonight.

[ClusterChuck]

Ah...There's Duhaine..

[ClusterChuck]

Decent first. Overcame the 'Nucks energy early.
PP still forcing pretty passes. It's like they have 1-2 set plays they try to pull off no matter where the D is.

gorg is going to suck that mask down his throat 

[lynxrattle]

[bbgarnett]
