Canucks so far

It's almost a month into the 06-07 NHL season and the Vancouver Canucks are right where I thought they would be at this point in the season. Jan Bulis has been a disappointment thus far having scored just twice; he appears to be squeezing his stick. Another major disapointment has been the PP. If the Canuvks are going to be successful, they need to take advantage of being a man or two up. As well, the team needs to play a 60-minute game more consistently; when they are leading or tied in the 3rd, the Canucks can't sit back and wait for the opposition to come. Luongo I believe has lived up to his end of the bargain thus far, although he does need to come up with the big save when the team needs it. Finally, I've been pretty impressed with the work ethic thus far, especially on the PK. Luc Bourdon should be sent down to Juniors for the playing time at the very least. Taylor Pyatt has really showed that he can make up for Bertuzzi's presence on the PP and has meshed well with the twins.
