Yeah, except David Booth likely subscribes to the scripture "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord".

After a trip to Utica however it is also likely he comes back and plays "like a man possessed". Image

Probably read the Utica Christian Magazine over there, boother should be rejuvenated and score 22 goals this season.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

In fairness to Booth Torts has to give him a shot. Not just one game and out. Maybe it's time to put Burrows back with the twins and re-unite the Amex line. Put Kassian with Santorelli and hell if I know. Drop Richardson back to the 4th line with fuck if I know.

Hmm.. it's obvious the canucks want Boothy to succeed. They should just put him with the sedins for a few games and give him a golden chance to see what he can do.

Actually, come to think of it. I'll probably get flamed for this one, but down the road, I wouldn't mind seeing Sestito get a look on the PP and maybe some shifts with the Sedins. He's big, has a long reach, has a nose for the net and has a decent scoring touch. He scored like 40 goals one year in juniors. Maybe he can be our Byfuglien and stick his big ass in front of the goalies and finish off some Sedin garbage. :P

Todd, Archibald was sent down to make room for Booth.

Sestito with the twins ......... yeah I've posted drunk a few times too.

For some reason I ignored my list this morning ...... wow.

Hansen returned to full practice today. Sounds like he has made significant progress. He took line rushes on the fourth line with Dalpe and Sestito.

All of a sudden the Canucks have quite a bit of depth...just need to figure out some combinations that can help out the Sedins on the score sheet!

I'll be quite happy once 2 of the 3 of Dalpe, Archibald and Welsh are back in the AHL. An under-achieving Booth and Hansen are a huge upgrade to our bottom 6.
The Cup is soooooo ours!!!!!!!

With Burrows back plus Booth and Hansen Torts has a lot more options..
Splitting the Sedins up is one that worked before . Wondering if a line of
Booth, Kesler and Hank would be effective? 2nd line of Danny, Santorelli and Burrows ?
Higgings and Hansen centered by Richardson or ?
damm we are short on centers sill :)
Kassian, Sestito gives a 4th line with toughness and ability to score the odd goal too..Walsh?

Honestly, I'd play Sestito and even Archibald over Booth. I look at it differently, it's kind of sad when the canucks keep playing dead weight just to try to get them going. I would of left Booth down in utica for the whole 2 weeks before even calling him back up. Give him lots of playing time, test out his body, see if he can score a couple goals to get his confidence up, seriously... why rush him?

It's no surprise with this management though. It's like ballard 2.0, keep a guy around and play him anyways when there are other guys who are clearly better options like Tanev, Rome, and even Alberts at times.
