Comeback Canucks

Wow, who would have ever thought we would start like this at the start of the season. The record is at 5-3-1 right now which isn't that great but everyone thought that they would be sub .500 early in the season just because of the competition they were facing

And it is due to hard work, relentlessness - that never say die attitude. They were 3-22-2 trying to comeback from games last year. It is still early but the signs are encouraging. Luongo, coach Vigneault and the Canucks are making believers out of us fans and it's hard to not like this version of the Canucks, unless you're a fan of run and gun free wheeling hockey which was last year.

In all honesty, it is only the come from behind wins that make the games exciting. The overall play is not as exciting vs last year but it is still exciting in its own way. If you watch Luongo it is fascinating to see how an elite goaltender like that moves around the goal. And you would want to cheer for a team that actually deserves to win with all the hard work.

They play the Dallas Stars today who only have lost one game so far this season. Law of averages would mean that the odds are against the Canucks this game but we will see. Game Time is at 5:30.
