Clay's Canucks Commentary

I break down the Vancouver Canucks' 5-3 loss to the Seattle Kraken in exhibition action. We talk about which players stood out for good and bad reasons.

We also talk about my upcoming 24 Hour Livestream, Rogers Arena seats, and Super Bowl halftime performers.

Vancouver Canucks training camp opened today in Penticton with the club showing off some interesting forward lines and d-pairings. I review everything that took place on day one and I recap what Elias Pettersson, Quinn Hughes, Thatcher Demko, and Adam Foote.

Jim Rutherford, Patrik Allvin, and Adam Foote all spoke to the media a few hours before the Vancouver Canucks flew to Penticton for the start of training camp.

I break down their comments and reflect on their thoughts on Quinn Hughes, Elias Pettersson, and putting last season behind them. I also do a quick preview of training camp which will go from Thursday to Sunday in Penticton.

I recap the pair of Canucks prospects games from the weekend and look ahead to training camp that starts in Penticton on Thursday.

Also, I give away a box of hockey cards courtesy of Jason Lim on Vancity Experts.

To a man, Vancouver Canucks players seem happy that most of the roster is coming back, with only a couple of minor changes.

Is this group good enough to return to the playoffs this season?

Who should play on Elias Pettersson's wing for the Vancouver Canucks? I discuss the pros and cons of Evander Kane, Jake DeBrusk, and Nils Hoglander.As well, I announce a brand new channel sponsor!

Marcus Pettersson could be an X-factor for the Vancouver Canucks this season. After being traded to the Canucks last season, Pettersson played extremely well without the benefit of playing with (or behind) a healthy Quinn Hughes.I explain why Marcus Pettersson will be such a key factor to the Canucks' hopeful success this season.

Finally we are past Labour Day Weekend and that means that hockey is near! Many of the Canucks skated today and Evander Kane met with the media. Also, Quinn Hughes gave a revealing interview to Sportnet's Iain MacIntyre.

I break it all down, and I give a quick recap of my Vegas trip.

The Vancouver Canucks have had many ups and downs throughout their history. I talk about each of the six decades of Canucks hockey in an effort to discover which one is the best.

The Vancouver Canucks seem poised to start the upcoming NHL season with Filip Chytil as their number two centre. Will that be good enough?
