The Canucks will be better than last year. That's not saying much though cuz they sucked last year. My early prediction is that Colorado will win the NW division. And I think its going to be more competitive than a lot of people are saying. It may not be the best div in the league this year but its still going to be very close.

avs don't have a goalie, i think calgary is taking that division.

I'll agree that the avs have possibly the worst goalie tandem in the league, but for some reason i think Edmonton might surprise alot of people and take the NW division.

In other news, i wouldn't like to be a wings fans this morning. Losing 3-2 to a team that is rebuilding must suck. :p

i'm so glad hockey is back

What a game by vancouver last night eh? If the canucks keep playing the kind of hockey we saw last nite, i dont care if they are bottom feeders. It is so much more exciting to see an energized hockey team than a team who doesnt seem to care! If the energy for every night is that high, it's gonna be a great year!

GREAT tribute to Luc. I can hardly keep those tears back. It was emotional, kudos to the canucks management.

Gonna be some game tomorrow against calgary. Regehr is back? It's kinda scary how ONE person can really mess up that D. I can't begin to count how many times the Flames would come back from a deficit because of the energy they can create from a fight or a hit or a short-hand goal...but everytime something is tried to be started last night, Canucks match it and deal with it better. O! I m so glad hockey is back lol.

The game in Vancouver last night was absolutely spectacular. I don't think I've seen that kind of hockey in our city in years. It was a picture perfect game to be honest. The ceremony for Luc was enough to bring a tear to the eyes of any hockey fan.

If the Canucks can play like that for a good chunk of this year I think we have a chance for a deep drive in the playoffs. The team is looking great, definitely a huge improvement over last year. Bernier is going to be a huge fan favorite very soon!

I still have faith in Sundin coming over here, if he comes, I guarantee a deep playoff berth. :p

Anything can happen really, but you don't want to forget that a much more complete Ottawa Senators started last year looking like heroes and might as well have ended out of the playoffs. That isn't to say that Vancouver won't do anything of course but having expectations of them doing anything other than making the playoffs is overshooting (whether they end up out of the playoffs or win the cup, they ****ing better not... GO HABS).

      That's (at least partially) on 7-zip; Nanazip (7-zip fork) adds itself properly to Context menus.

      We have disabled advertising in the forums for now for an undetermined period. If you feel like you get a lot of value out of the site please do whitelist ads on the news articles, and/or consider getting a subscription, we offer two tiers, one at: $14 per year (support the site for just over a dollar a month) or the $28/year tier (just over $2/month) that disables advertising and affiliate link tracking throughout the site (so also on the news side). We also have a 'Buy us a coffee' page if you just want to make a one-time donation. I am not mincing words when I say it is becoming harder and harder to monetize publications like Neowin, it's a fact of life that when we can no longer afford to pay for everything we'll go like many other sites already have. It doesn't have to cost you anything There are other ways to support Neowin too, like posting on topic content in the forums (technical support/questions/helping others) and sharing our news articles.. this costs nothing but your time and is just as important as subscribing or making a monetary donation! Anyway thanks for your time and continued support of Neowin. Now in our 26th year, and hopefully many more! For all the lurkers out there that whitelist us, make a free member account, and see fewer (only inline) ads on the news side
