Canucks News and Notes

Yesterday Farhan Lalji tweeted that Ryan Kesler is expected to begin skating by the end of the month and that David Booth could be out for up to two months.

So, optimistically Kesler may play for the last five to ten regular season games, and Booth is done barring a speedy recovery and/or a second round playoff appearance.

Yikes, bad news. At least we don't have to hear about Booth this or that from RD for a while...

Edler given a 2 game suspension for charging Mike Smith.

Total bullshit. This league is an absolute fucking joke.

...and I'm laughing.

Otherwise, I'd be crying over how pathetic a figure Shanahan's become after such a respected playing career. I think I noticed his mascara was smudged in the last coupla videos he's done. Must be the face-fucking he's been getting from 'ole Colie Campbell and his yankee buddies lately. Pretty sad to see Shanny become such a Bettman whore.

The stuff that doesn't even get a fine, and Edler - a 1st-time offender - gets 2 games in a shortened season.

Watch, Smith will be fresh as a daisy for next game. Hell, it worked for Hossa.

"I'm Brendan Shanahan....."

[okcanuck]

Shanahan is a joke, Bettman is a joke, the f-----ing NHL is a joke. Somebody please explain to me why Edler gets 2 games and Nash gets 0. The NHL has lost all credibility.

2 minutes for charging... Shanahan's judgement? 0 games
