VANCOUVER - Already reeling with injuries to their blueline corps, the Vancouver Canucks may be without Sami Salo for their game Thursday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Salo has a sore groin, according to team officials, and is listed as day-to-day. He appeared to suffer the injury in the third period of Vancouver's 4-3 Tuesday loss to the Dallas Stars.

this is perfect. just what we needed.

this team is struggling that is no doubt. Lou is coming back and we are on a 4 game road trip where most of the walking wounded will be on the trip as well..

we have a crucial 4 game trip that can go along way to rebuilding this confidence that is lacking. pull together during these adverse times ad it could do wonders.

Bourdon/Brown/Jaffray called up

Typical of the season......

Well at least I like the call ups. I'd like to see what these guys have to offer. Hopefully Brown will go at it with Roy tomorrow, that should be a decent tilt.

Bourdon's last call up was pretty effective earlier in the season (if i remember correctly). They had similar problems with injured d-men and were deeply looking for wins.

Here's to hope.

When Aaron Miller is our only d-man to play every game, you know there's a problem...
