LUONGO IS GOOD, BUT NUCKS NEED OFFENCE
Yeah yeah, I know it's only preseason, but the Canucks' loss to the Sharks tonight (2-0) does raise an interesting question that has been brought up alot this offseason. How many goals will the Canucks score? Will it be enough? I think we are already getting glimpses into how the early part of the season (at least) will go for them already. And that is that Roberto Luongo will not disappoint, but unfortunately, he is stuck with some of the problems that he had in Florida, which is GOALS SCORED. Now....who do you envision being on the top line this season?
Should it be Naslund-Morrison-Bulis, and Sedin-Sedin-Kesler on the second line? I can feel that.
But the truth is, Jan Bulis is nothing but a pipe dream to score 60 points even. Kesler is the same, unless he suprises. So what the Canucks are probably going to have to do is play better defensive hockey, and get scoring from all FOUR lines. If that isn't the case now, then they will have to aim for that in the near future. Naslund will be gonzo next season, unless he puts out more than 75 points, as his $6 million salary dictates. And we will wait and see what players like Marc Chouinard and Taylor Pyatt have to offer offensively as well.
The bottom line Canuck fans, is that it is a roll-of-the-dice season, so I hope you have alot of money in your booze account because you just may need it.

i will give you that Hodge!
Like I said though, "hey Roberto, welcome to your second Panthers team"
The goal of posting a drunk blog has now been accomplished!
but i will wake up tomorrow and think the same thing!
Don't make me tell you how it's made, or Cheese Whiz for that matter. Do a google on "whiz"!

This may turn out to be your most accurate prediction of all.
and get scoring from all FOUR lines
I remember complaining about this for roughly every game the Canucks played between 2001 and 2004. I'm still optimistic about the season, but not that optimistic about rolling four solid production lines.
And where the fCuK has Matt Cooke been this pre-season? Jumpin' Jehosephat on a trampoline... isn't this the same Matt Cooke that played with Morisson and Naslund when Bertuzzi was suspended? At this point I wouldn't put him on a line with Mario Bliznak and Nicklas Danielsson down in Manitoba. He'd better start earning his $1.5 million.
And quick too, same with Kesler.
