Well, they lost this game 2-0. It was a Championship game.
Per: Can you weigh in on this when your about?
What I noticed more than anything was the unbelievably long shifts by the Swedish coach, all game.
Is this normal?
Seems to me shorter shifts, like in the NHL, would have made a world of difference.

No Kole Lind it total BS, particularly given his play since late December. But Glass was a high pick so he gets on the list.

now lets hope it translates to NHL success.

Ppeetteerrssoonn should be a lock on the team next year which means the Sedin's are back.

Is Juolevi a lock or will a year in the AHL help him.

All of the others will have to earn their NHL time.

Stats are nearly identical this year, Kole is 6 months older so that may play a factor. Either way Lind is trending in the right direction and had it not been for the mono he would likely make the list for sure.

Having 5 in the top 50 is most definitely a huge recognition of the franchise's drafting, and considering our two top players have just entered their 20s it makes one very optimistic for the near future.

rats is right 8-)

Can't believe how much respect Graig Button garners. Too much if you ask me.

Add in our top Calder candidate, and things do look better - we just have to wait 1-2 years™ to see it all come together.

And yes, Rats usually is right. ;)

The mighty Bertuzzi has spoken!
@DhaliwalSports

Bertuzzi on Virtanen: "I can help him, he has so many great qualities to be a huge power forward. I would not get rid of him, these kids flourish from 24 to 28. Give him chances but he has to take advantage of his opportunities but he's got to do some work as well."
Just like Travis Green said, Virtanen could have best games at 24 years of age.

Meh... some do some don’t. Todd had more skill in his left pinky than the Fake and was a lot bigger

I still think the Fake is nursing a sore shoulder and not sure if it will ever be right. That said ,hang onto him. He’s cheap labour and his value is low. Sell high like Iron Mike did with Trevor.

A plausible theory on the face of it, yet surely the Canucks have access to the finest orthopaedic surgeons, and if his shoulder wasn't progressing well with conservative therapy they would attempt a surgical intervention/revision -- wouldn't they ?

Does anyone here know anyone whose friend's neighbour's sister's hairdresser's babysitter's cousin has access to the Canucks weight room ?
