Re: GDT - Bettman's team (aka Phoenix) @ Canucks - 7pm Snet-

Geezus - 2 page game day thread before the puck has even dropped. Against the (yawn) Coyotes to boot. Is Kesler's return really that exciting? Damn, sometimes there's not even a GDT an hour before puck drop. Good to see Kesler back. I like seeing him on the 3rd line as that is where he belongs. He i...

Re: GDT - Mar 28 - Avs @ Canucks - 7:00 SNET

Seems like JS pissed AV off as he got shifted to the 4th line again. Wonder what he did? Pinhead couldn't get the puck out all night along the boards and I was not impressed with his game. We lost Volpatti for him? Well, not that we lost a lot. Agreed Pinner was terrible. There was even a point whe...

Re: Chemistry Issues?

And all of a sudden the Canucks are one of the hottest teams in the league with a 7-3-0 record in their last 10 games. Only Pittsburgh and Minnesota have been hotter. Minnesota is due for a bit of a slide. At least I hope they lose a few here and we get a tighter grip on the NW division. The bad ne...

Re: What does Gillis do with the expiring contracts?

Every Canuck trade deadline acquisition since the Ronning/Momesso/Brown trade has been meek. That's 20 years of "meh" - not a great track record. Those were two different trades. Butcher and Quinn for Ronning, Courtnall, Dirk and Momesso the other was St Louis putting together a compensation packag...

Re: What does Gillis do with the expiring contracts?

Florida played a massive role in the 2011 Stanley Cup Final. Even though they made their trades prior to the 2011 season and not at the trade deadline, Boston managed to steal Horton and Campbell from Florida for Wideman and a 1st, whereas your Canucks acquired Keith Ballard for Grabner and a 1st. E...

Re: 2013 Season Injury Thread

My buddy who is a general surgeon and trained in sports medicine said arthroscopic surgery is a relatively common and easy task. So you would think that a local Canuck doctor would be able to perform this. But then again, maybe the Canucks' "arthroscopic specialist" was out of town? I guess we don't...

Re: 2013 Season Injury Thread

We have not been told the specifics of Booth's injury (ie, does he have complete syndesmotic ligament tears or not...if he does it is a grade 3 injury, if he doesn't it is a grade 2) nor the specifics of the surgical treatment (was it an arthroscopic procedure with cleaning up torn ligamentous debr...

Re: what has to happen to get the ship on course?

There's no denying their play dropped after that Boston game in January - it's just that the goalies (both 1 & 35) bailed them out of games they had no business winning in February and March. So their record was deceiving. I think we can all agree we were shocked they backed into the President's Tro...

Re: Canucks News and Notes

Lain has been assigned to Chicago. I wonder if we will see him this year? Park his ass in front of the net on the PP! Isn't that one of the reasons they have Kassian? Instead AV chooses to send out the smallest forward on the team to continue to pass the puck around the perimeter. Amen - between He...

Re: Jensen heading to SEL ??

You DO NOT bring up Jensen if he's not ready. Period. I haven't followed him enough to make a call if he's NHL ready right now, but the worst thing you can do is to bring him up and have him struggle at this level. Leave him in the AHL and let him score some goals. Maybe you add him to the roster at...

Re: GDT: Mar 7 - Canucks in Ohio for BJ on SPAC - 4 PM

We can only blame this loss on one thing. Ballard. AV needs to continue to bench him. AV needs to increase Edler's time on the ice. He's clearly our stud d-man.

Yikes - AV's go-to cards are crumbling...

Re: Prospects Thread 2012-13

Jensen played his last game in Europe today and is on his way to join the Wolves for the rest of the season. How many want to bet he sees NHL action before the season is through? Personally, don't want to rush him but Gillis and crew seem to have a hard-on for the kid. Depending on how he pans out ...

Re: GDT: March 3 at Calgary: 5PM SN

Is this the final straw for KB4? I thought he was one of our top 4 consistent d-men for the first 15+ games of the season. I can't imagine he's too pleased to be shoved to the 8th man role all of a sudden. This is one trade Gillis has to make, even if we only get a mid round draft pick in return. Ho...

Re: Gillis. Who is He?

Got to admit, I'm left scratching my head a bit at the Gillis decision regarding Volpatti. Why Barker wasn't the one sent down, I don't know - Volpatti was reportedly quite well thought of around the league, a decent (middleweight) fighter, and seemed like a solid character guy. Not sure how they th...
