Clay's Canucks Commentary

The Canucks return home with a 4-2 record and sitting in second place in the Pacific Division. We look ahead to their games against the Blues on Friday and the Rangers on Saturday.

As well, we touch on the Shane Pinto situation and we talk about which coaches might be the first to be fired.

The Canucks ended off a relatively successful road trip with a 3-2 win over the Nashville Predators. The Canucks got goals from Mikheyev, Di Giuseppe, and Hoglander and killed off all 3 Nashville power plays.

Next up is St. Louis at home on Friday night.

The Canucks are one game over .500 and for now it places them in second place in a weak Pacific Division.

How long can they stay there?

We also recap the Saturday 5-3 win over the Panthers and we look at the revised bottom 6 that the Canucks practiced with ahead of their Tuesday night game against the Predators.

The Canucks opened the season with two big wins over their divisional rivals in Edmonton. Then they dropped games to the Flyers and Lightning that were ugly in different ways.

What type of team will we see in Florida?

Any why do my Friday night streams always seem to go off the rails?

Thatcher Demko was spectacular in a losing effort, as he made 40 saves in the Canucks' 2-0 loss to the Flyers. The Canucks were outshot 22-3 in the middle period and their record drops to 2-1 on the season.

We talk about their defensive (and offensive) struggles and we look ahead to the team's 2 games in the Sunshine State later this week.

Casey DeSmith made 37 saves off 40 shots to lead the Canucks to an exciting 4-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.

Elias Pettersson and Nils Hoglander had 2 points each for the victors.

Did the Canucks' dominant performance in their season opener change your expectations for the team this season?

As well, we talk about what the roster might look like on Saturday, depending on the health of Ilya Mikheyev, Teddy Blueger, Carson Soucy, and Guillame Brisebois.

The Canucks dominated the visiting Edmonton Oilers in the season-opener for both teams. Brock Boeser led the way with 4 goals, while both Elias Pettersson and JT Miller chipped in with 4 points apiece.

My son Sean (who was at the gamey) joined me to give his thoughts on the game and he answerer a bunch of viewer questions.

And we ended up giving away a pair of tickets to a future Canucks game.

The Canucks will open the 2023-24 season Wednesday night against the Edmonton Oilers. Let's hope they have enough healthy players to ice a full roster!

And we spend A LOT of time talking Conor Garland and his apparent trade request.

The Canucks announced their opening day roster, complete with 22 players (13 forwards, 7 defencemen, and 2 goalies). Ilya Mikheyev will start on IR and Tucker Poolman will start on LTIR.

With two nights to go until the Canucks' season opener, we talk about what the lineup might look like and I answer all of your questions.
