Hansen with goal for the Moose. He's playing on a line with Smith and Schultz now as Genoway left the game after getting hit with a puck I believe.

[leo2892]

Hansen-Smith-Schultz seems like a decent line. Must be better than being on the fourth line i guess.

[Grabner]

How is this Genoway kid doing? I haven't much about him since he got traded.

[leo2892]

Genoway = 1 goal, 9 assists in 21 games.

[timw33]

YES. Hansen is doing very well in the last 2-3 games.

Too bad Raymond wasn't in.

][quote=jayRmichigan][quote=itzabreeze]Ellis Called up to the Moose.

"The Manitoba Moose, the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, announced they recalled goaltender Julien Ellis from the Victoria Salmon Kings of the ECHL.  

Ellis, 21, has appeared in six games with the Moose so far in his first season of professional hockey. He has compiled a record of 0-6-0 with a goals against average of 3.71 and a save percentage of .885. He has also appeared in 34 games this year with the Salmon Kings where he is 18-14-2 with a 3.31 goals against average and a .910 save percentage and was named to the ECHL All-Star Game.  

Ellis was originally drafted by the Vancouver Canucks with their sixth choice, 189th overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.

Flats gone 6-8 Weeks with an MCL tear......

Boy do I gotta hold back the tears on that.....

Dude ... You dissing Flaherty?




Maybe you should just leave.[/quote]

Cry me a river.

I understand what he had given to the Moose organization, but it's really time for him to retire.[/quote]

Oh yeah you're right he should retire, I mean 17-9 is a horrible record. Much worse than Ellis' 0-6 record.

Oh, and if you payed attention to that team prior to this season you would know just how incredible Flaherty is during the playoffs and what a HUGE blow that is to the team.[/quote]

Flats hasn't been the same ever since he was sent back to the Moose right before the season started. He's been outplayed by Drew


D-MAC

2.16GAA with a 925 SV%

Flats

2.42GAA 909 SV%

I'm not saying Ellis is better then Flats..... my point is that, at 39 years old?, it's time for him to call it a career, and give the young guns some time to develop.[/quote]

I would rather have a goalie who can put up some wins and get the team a playoff birth than trying to develope a younger goalie who we don't really need in the first place. Don't you think the skaters would benefit more from having a solid goalie behind them? Better +/-, better morale, it means they get to play in the playoffs. Flaherty has never been incredible during the regular season (still good mind you), but he's always been fantastic during the playoffs, just you wait.

Oh, and need I remind you of Johnny Bower who became made it to the NHL at the age of 35 won 4 Stanley Cups and two Vezina Trophys, and only retired at the age of 45? Age isn't necessarily a bad thing.[/quote]



Are you forgetting that the Moose are the Development Team for the Canucks and not their Retirement Home. It is nice to see some of the old farts like Flats play, but the priority is the development of the Young Players. If you want to watch a Senior league go for it, but that is not what the Moose is there for. The sooner you get those facts straight the better off we all are.[/quote]

The Moose are not a developement team. They do develope players, but that's not their priority. Their priority is to win.

And come on man? You'd rather see a younger player lose than an older player win? Because that's basically what you just said. Younger doesn't always mean better. Look at Lidstrom, Jagr, Selanne, Sakic, Brind'amour, Brodeur. Those are all older players who are much better than a lot of younger players, should they retire? Why should a player be forced into retirement when he's doing well? That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard of.[/quote]


Where did I say that a player is forced to retire. Do not put adjectives into what I wrote. The priority of the Moose is to Develop the young talent that the Cauck draft along with some experienced players for short term call ups. That is what the Moose are there for, and yes winning is also nice, but the priority should never be to play the old players while the draft picks sit in the press box or at the end of the bench.

[VaNuCkZ]

Ellis would be the perfect backup for Luongo when he reaches his potential. Thats just my opinion.

Ok, here's the deal, as far as I know, the Moose are not owned by the Canucks. The Canucks maintain the affiliation with them so that their younger players can be conditioned right? So the Canucks get a team for their younger players to play on when there's no room on the Canucks, and the Moose get a bunch of young players to help their team succeed. Success is the key word there.

If they could maintain good players without having to be affiliated with the Canucks, don't you think they would? That would mean that they wouldn't lose their best players whenever someone from Vancouver got injured or wasn't playing well. The Moose have an owner and a GM who probably wouldn't be too happy if they had to play the younger players who needed the ice time in order to develope over the older players who deserved to be out there. And same with the coach, I mean he's not an idiot. Anyone who's ever played minor hockey knows that if you're playing bad you'll usually get less ice time, and if you're playing good you'll get more. I think it's pretty naive to assume that a coach would give a younger, less talented player more ice time than a veteran who actually does well.

Raymond's already posted as on the roster: http://www.moosehock...team/roster.php

So when is he going to be in the lineup?

There is another benefit for the Moose as well. The Canuck players loaned to the Moose are paid by the Canucks. This of course makes operating an AHL team much more economically feasible. The Canucks and Moose have a contract which specifies how many Canuck prospects are to be on the Moose roster, and how many veteran minor leaguers (ie Jaffray) the Moose can carry.
