Boyle is looking fairly awesome thus far, hopefully worth all that money he's due for. Looks like his biggest contribution will be on power play and Ludowich's will be on the kill, both areas which bit us in the ass in the playoffs last year. Warriors and Sharks, can't wait. If one makes the playoffs I'll be happy, the other's expectations are just a little higher lol
Honestly, I think the Luongo captaincy is nothing more than a very thinly veiled attempt to feed his ego and thus help to convince him to resign here.

I wonder if the Sharks not being favored to win the cup this year (for the 1st time is 3 years) will help them get over the hump. That and the fact that they got rid of that douchebag Ron Wilson.

I'll be happy if the Canucks make the playoffs, but if not I hope they come in dead last, which will never happen with Luongo, so they can actually get a blue-chip prospect in the draft (though Schnieder and Hodgson are looking like great picks so far).
