Canucks open their exhibition season with a 4-2 victory over San Jose. One of many to come. What a great team we will have. :)

Sadly the Leafs are falling like flys & have 3-4 players injured already. Foot,shoulder on & on...
The way of arithmetic after 21 days the Leafs will have not enough players to dress.

As far as the Canucks, it's definitely "new & improved" team.

Call it as I see it.  ;)

As of today's present standings.

Toronto Maple Leafs is in last place in the tough Atlantic Div.

Vancouver Canucks in comparison are in first place in the Pacific Div.

( mind you Leafs lost to the tough Habs & the Canucks W was against the lowly Flames  ::) )

The pep talk prior to Canucks games should be easy ,short & effective thus lighting a fire under their butts.
Pre game talk goes along the lines something like " ...remember last year's 2nd half melt down "
Also Torts departing comments said this team is "over the hill gang" type of comment.  ( core players too old & long toothed"

Studying this team closely & was impressed by the very strong lines.
Much more balanced.
See what the upcoming games results.
Gee even their new goalie played quite well. ( not a fan of the guy but maybe he will change my mind if he has a good season )

Chris is so loyal to his Leafs & must be so happy for his team to get a W.
They definitely got the W because they directed lots of shots towards the net.
Many goals were deflected thus the goalie had near zero chance.
Congrads where it's due. Great win for the Leafs.

Such a super exciting game for the Canucks. Win via the shoot out.
Ryan Miller ( think that's his name ) made lots of good saves.
He plays the angles so well.
Great to see Eddie Lack congrad Miller on the W.
Lack is a good team player.

Think this team is developing a good chemistry.
At the end of the year hoping the Canucks will have more points than the Leafs.
Then we can really "rub it in" & give Chris a hard time.
( mind you the Leafs look to be in every game so ...they make me nervous. )  ;)

Guess TO has the idea "anything the Canucks can do ; we can too"
Lots of fans went home "happy" after the OT win.
Phil the thrill Kessel  definitely is a super star!

Canucks have a super star line!
Maple Leafs play the Bruins more times than the Canucks do during the season & Boston is noted to punish the opposing teams physically ( injuries are the results )
A banged up Maple Leaf team will be the result.

Have the same concern with the Canucks.
Will the older key guys stay healthy thus produce as they should.
LA has a big & rugged but play talented fast hockey & they just do not wear down.
Question is do they have the desire to battle to the end for the Cup.
Takes lots of " blood & sweat " to win it.
After 2 Cups in recent times they just may not be so hungry but rather get kicked out of the play offs & have a longer season break.
Pens Bruins San Jose Chicago ( & just possibly the Leafs may surprise & make a run ) are my picks of being this 2014/15 Champions.
Habs will not be there. Personally feel there's too much emotions & possibly now jealousy as some players money bag is so big & teammates so tiny in comparison.

Hey FA I'm a Canuck fan & hope they too make a good run in the play offs but just feel the season is just too long thus they will be just too banged up physically.
Now if the season was 55-60 games before entering the long play offs then the Canucks could be serious contenders possibly.

If the Leafs can stay healthy after meeting the meat grinders Bruins they may surprise & hoping the Canucks can surprise us fans as well. Leafs make me " nervous "
Lots of young guys.
Go Canucks Go !
Canucks goaltending B
Maple Leaf goaltending C plus
Puck stoppers are so key.
Leafs stoppers have to get to the level to play steady & defence the same.
