I'm not all that sold on the early success of the Canucks based on their record.
They and the Oilers have played more out-of-conference games than any other team in the west, and 13 of their 19 points have come out of games with EC teams. They are the #4 ranked team in the Pacific division based on points earned in the West, and are only better than Phoenix, Calgary, and the terrible Edmonton Oilers.
We'll get a better sense of how good a team they are after the Canucks complete their four-game California swing on 10 November.
