Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks: Jensen Sent to Utica, Bieksa Possible for Season Opener As the Vancouver Canucks prepare to start their new season, Nicklas Jensen has been assigned to the AHL Utica Comets, while injured defenseman Kevin Bieksa looks like he might be fit enough to play on opening night and Tom Sestito could draw in to provide some toughness.

You've just made Marwood's day

Nice write-up. I think Sestito checks in tomorrow, given the precedent of last year

He will play, you know he'll play. He'll play on crutches if he has to.

Does this put Bennett in the same category as Shinkaruk was last year?

No - it puts him in the RNH category of being in a kids body playing a mans game.

I hope Willie doesn't let Hartley dress his lineup. I hope they play Bollig Bouma Mcgratten all game, it would be nice to have a gimmie to start the season. well more of a gimmie I guess.

Do you think it was those attempted pull ups that did the damage?

Tough to count the amount of flames fans who said Skinkaruk is a bust because he was injured in his 1st year after the draft.

Never hear them.

I think in the system should only apply to 22 years old and younger.

Kassian is 23 and I think past the level of being considered "in the system"

It would be nice to see the pp get going early and get some confidence.

Please beat the Flames all 6 times this year, helping us finish with the best possible chances in the draft lottery and showing our awesome management that keeping plugs like Jones and Setoguchi over kids with potential (awesome commitment to the rebuild by the way).

Regards,

Flames Fans

I love the Canucks fans who are still in denile of what this team is ....it's been over a year since the Canucks could call any team a gimmie ...they have become more of a gimmie for the playoff teams

Comparing shink to sam is like comparing Monahan to Jensen ....two young players one with a much higher ceiling

I think he is comparing injuries and the end of careers...

Tuesday is the best day of the week.

Right I forgot all flames prospects and players have a much higher ceiling than any other teams


Stupid me.

The fact that you use this as your arguement rather than draft position and scouting reports is what makes your opinion questionable ...not stupid

No the Oilers have that..6 years and counting... oh wait, its only been 2 years of rebuild...

So when do the Ducks come to the coast? Do you guys give Kesler the gears or is he welcomed?

Did you just refer to the Flames as "trending upward"?
