I guarantee you nobody is chiming in on that panel with "it's 3 weeks in" if it was the Leafs or Oilers with that record.
Could they fall of a cliff? Sure. The regular season can be long and unforgiving.
But Pettersson is proving he is a top 5 forward in this league; Hughes is a top puck moving Dman who quarterbacks everything; Demko is healthy and finally got a squad playing a well structured game in front of him.
Miller just had over 90 pts a couple seasons ago; Hronek has been excellent.
They have the pieces to be good, and maybe they're all figuring it out now and playing a committed team game thanks to Tocchet, the Sedins working with guys on the PP, Gonchar & Foote working with the D, etc.

Canucks have the best coach and the players are playing up to his standards.
“We’re 3 weeks in”
Duuhh, that doesn’t make Elliot’s statement untrue
Kelly needs to hush his face
Gary won't let Canada succeed.
Wait till February and all these great players will fall off and disappear.

And I say this as a Leafs fan.
Let the Canucks have their moment.
