Was thinking the same thing, man when's he into the game he can be an effective player.

Agree

This has been the suggestion by half this forum for about 2 years now. How hard was it?

Still need a second line though but yes Kesler should play with the Henrik

I'd actually prefer if we started trying Schroeder as the 2C with Kesler on his wing but Torts seems willing to try new things so it'll come I'm sure.

Been really impressed by Miller, getting hung out to dry by his team but keeping them in it.

How many times a season did the Canucks play down to the bottom feeders and have problems under AV? It was disgusting just how much the coach would let the team take games off. So far it seems right for the most part... wins against the bottom feeders, losses against the better teams and a mix of results with the inbetweeners(Habs). I dont even see a resident in the dog house yet. AV always established that by mid preseason.

He's a fine goalie, .939 on the year after 5 starts. His performance in the Olympics was jaw-dropping.

I love Torts attitude "we need a goal now not later". Lines can go back after...Score early against this team then beat on them for a while. A blow out will follow.

Have to say I really like Torts

Yeah, I haven't watched him much since the Olympics, he's still a hell of a goalie.

Why do opposing forwards keep getting in the way of Garrison slappers? Ouch!

He would be a great pickup for a team needing a goalie upgrade.

Taylor Hall: 2 goals in 8 seconds. That's one way to bust out.

Should have had 3 goals by now

Could well be a short term pick up though, pending UFA

Well the 3rd and 4th liners have no choice since that's why their on the team, but yea I would never do it.

A proud American! At him wasting a spot on his list by having the Canucks on it.

And this after living in Buffalo. That's making a statement.

Im not a fan of his off ice personality. For the most part,,, Im relishing the change mostly. I like the way he handles the roster so far though. The moronic micro management that said so little about players on this team under the old coach was bazaar....

On a bit of a separate note, great excerpt from Bobby Orr's new book ("Orr: My Story") with respect to fighting. I know it's a no-brainer but I'll take Orr's stance on anything hockey-related over ANYONE.

Islanders, if they're not on his list should make a play IMO.
