It's not the big bad Ducks . You know the injury list.
- VANTEL

Still bigger without their 2 centers but okay with how TG see's it. My point stands as an option on strategy not a must do.

I would keep it the same until it goes bad or someone injured or tired. If I was TG.

Tanking Vantel says play the twins 28 min a night

Do you really figure Tanev is hurt? I find it kind of interesting all of a sudden an injury occurs just as Edler returns. We have seemed to have a lot of that the last few years.

Good chance to see who is who and how others play when top guys are gone.

You think it is just an excuse and he is really getting some maintenance time off?

I am hinting I would not be surprised. He is expected to miss significant time. I did not see him hunched over last night. Surprisingly Edler is unexpectedly ready.

The timing of these injuries last year seem weird. Canucks can assess Hutton Pouliot longer with no one going on waivers. Granlund going down mysteriously letting Canucks look at Gaunce.

They could be injured who knows

But would the players be willing to not play for this reason? Every one of them wants to play the full 82 games. Unless he is sore and they are just taking precaution due to having options with Edler back. If a player MIGHT become injured if you play him and you don't have to, then I could see them doing that. Tanev has a history of getting hurt early playing Anh/LA.

If you take a look at the pictures of giroux and vorachek in the scoring summary of todays game. They look almost like twins.

He could have bruised a muscle and Benning might have said take a couple of games off relax and we can see who is better Hutton or Pouliot.

The answer is easy, they are both better than Biega. Problem solved until stetcher is back

I hope he breaks both legs and never plays again so I can feel better about my team.

I had a long night when the Kesler surgery was announced.


Every Hansen healthy scratch makes me wanna scratch my pants.

Why are all the trades being vetoed in the pool?

Sean Monohan for Ryan O'Reilly = vetoed???

- Retinalz

I was thinking the same thing. Logged a lot of minutes in Eddy and Stetch's absense. Im thinking their just giving him some time to clean up a few bumps and bruises.

He votoed it so you can do the crosby trade and let it go through

Lower body injury.

- Nuck4U

Makes sense.

Why not dabble with the line-up a little, see what you got...while still giving you guys a chance to win.

Lower body injury.
- golfingsince

Yeah, but he's back now. Booner is right that he was sat out, but "recently" = 1 game

The games before that were due to injury.

I'm getting lazy with the internet. It's so friggin bad where I am now. Just updated to a new mobile system and it's now worse than ever... in fact, it's on par with the dial up I had here 12 years ago.

Time to finally cave and get satellite net since I can just use a phone/tab for the months I'm away from home. The first stick I had was 3g and it worked great... could play world of tanks in a squad with Teamspeak going while downloading with a Torrent Client in the background... now I can barely upload a 5mb pic.... internet works ok between 2 and 5am... crap shoot any other time...

jesus

I've always pictured you as a lumberjack who lives in this:

I’d resign EG at the Canucks price.

On JV he is working on his 200’ game & showed well on many big backchecks. The Sedins slow him down with their style & it all adds up to JV has more to give as he grows & better off when new line-mates when the twins retire. With Bo locked up with both Sven/BB there is no C right now who helps JV bring it all.
