He's not good. He's what we thought he was.

He reminds me a lot of Bertuzzi, during his brief window of dominance ... I suspect Benn's will last much longer.

The Canucks get a great game from their goaltender and 3 points from the Sedins, and they manage to lose in a dominating performance by the Stars.

My god. This team is really terrible.

If tha makes you feel better, then have at 'er.

Were it me, I would be approaching alarm at the fact that the three best Canucks in this dog of a game were ALL 35-years-old. 35-years-old, they outplayed everyone else on the team by a country mile, and they STILL were dominated in a pretty embarrassing loss.

At least the other three Cdn. teams have a cluster of young talent who are already impact players at the NHL level. The Canucks are garbage with very few, and rather MUCH dimmer bright spots in their talent pool.

Wasn't pointing anything out other than the 3 pacific canadian teams aren't very good, plus then the leafs it was mentioned lost in the oot as well

As bad as a Vancouver looks right now us old Flames fans can't say to much. I do believe we are (or at least really really hope we are) trending in the right direction. Flames have played below expectations where as the canucks are right where I expected them to be.

They lack serious options for a 2nd and 3rd line. Sven is useless, McCann is starting to be dominated out there and Horvat is largely invisible. Miller and the Sedins carrying the team.

Horvat has 2 goals and 8 points in 27 games this year.... Hes supposed to be their shining young star. This team needs to sell the sedins so they can stop being tweeners and really start the rebuild.

Remember when Canucks fans thought Horvat was just a half step behind Monahan? Same level? Lol!!!!

Some were even giving him legend status once Lack was traded.
