i was on hockeys future and saw cnaucks top 20

i agree with it for the most part

but why couldnt Bliznak make the top 20?

hes a pretty good defensive player, i havent seen him play much, i was sure that he should be considered top 20 canucks prospect

is there any reason to that?
or is there a very big weakness in his game?

The thing is most 3rd/4th liners scored in the junior ranks. Burrows scored 30 goals, Brad May was a 1st rounder, Santala played well in the AHL. Bliznak doesn't have the offensive abilities at this point to make the NHL. However, he could still develop @ AHL or ECHL level. We'll just have to see.

Considering he's one of our few C prospects, I could see him on the 3rd-4th line in a few years.

But that will change if we draft some Cs this year.

Plus we have Henrik, Kesler and Morrison, assuming they all re-sign.

how about this playoff lines ?
Sedins-Sedins-Pyatt
Naslund-Smolinski-Grabner
Raymond-Morrison-Kesler
Cowan-Linden-Cooke

imo, speed is our main weakness, so raymond and Grabner are here to address this problem, they are bound to be better than our scapegoat now!

even thought raymond and grabner might not get the call up, kesler and green should be returning, i dont see the point of playing bulis anymore. he didnt perform with any line.

No, bringing Grabby up won't do us much good to be honest. Grabner has been a NO SHOW in the Chiefs playoffs, playing against basically the #1 team in the WHL. To put him in the NHL playoffs against players that so much stronger then him, and prepared, both mentally and physically could be devastating to his development.

Grabner seems to get extremely down on himself, and like most junior kids, needs to work on being consistent. At this point, with the "rumours" of the Moose "room issues", **Cough Reid Cough Schultz** this Moose may look for more scoring help, and Grabner being so high up on the Canucks Priority list that I would be shocked if Grabner wasn't in the Moose lineup by Thursday mourning. The Canucks lineup......not so much.

Getting really down on himself when not doing well sounds a lot like a Canuck who is already in our organization *cough naslund cough*

2007 NCAA Tournament review
Written by DJ Powers on 03/26/2007

Miami would go on to meet the winner of the other regional semi-final between #2 Boston College and #3 St. Lawrence. The Eagles came into the contest as the nation's hottest team, riding a 10-game winning streak, but the Saints would make sure that Boston College worked for their win. The tenacious St. Lawrence offense got off to a strong start, forcing Eagles junior goaltender Cory Schneider (VAN) to come with some huge saves to keep the Saints off of the board. Senior and team captain Brian Boyle (LA), who continues to play on defense in the post-season, got Boston College off to a very early lead with his 18th of the season at the 1:24 mark of the opening stanza.

The Eagles would extend their lead very early in the second period at the 40-second mark on a power play tally by freshman Ben Smith for his ninth of the season. Less than two minutes later, sophomore Brock McBride would spoil Schneider's bid for a shutout, notching his ninth of the season at the 2:12 mark to cut Boston College's lead to one. It would be the closest that the Saints would get as the Eagles would tally two more goals by sophomores Andrew Orpik (BUF) and Brock Bradford (BOS) to seal St. Lawrence's fate. Despite letting in three goals, freshman Alex Petizian turned in a strong performance in goal for St. Lawrence stopping 31 of the Eagles' 34 shots in the loss.

Boston College would meet Miami in the regional championship game on Sunday afternoon. The aggressiveness that the RedHawks showed against New Hampshire in the semi-final carried over to the regional championship against Boston College, but the loss of one of their top players would become one of the turning points of the game. At the 3:01 mark of the opening period, Miami senior Marty Guerin (LA) would be ejected for delivering a check from behind on Boston College sophomore defenseman Tim Filangieri. Guerin had been moved to play up with juniors Nathan Davis and Ryan Jones on the RedHawks top line earlier in the season, creating one of the most potent trios in all of college hockey. After a scoreless first period, Miami came out attacking again in the second period.

However, it would be Boston College who would draw first blood. At the 3:00 mark, senior Joe Rooney tallied the first of his two goals in the game for his 14th of the season. He would strike again less than three minutes later at the 5:44 mark on the power play to extend the Eagles lead 2-0. Freshman Kyle Kucharski and sophomore Benn Ferriero (PHO) would tally two more goals to preserve Boston College's 4-0 win. Schneider was sensational in goal, stopping all 37 shots to post his 15th career and nation co-leading seventh shutout of the season. He was named the regional's Most Outstanding Player combining to stop 61 of 62 shots on the weekend and backstopping Boston College to a return trip to the Frozen Four.
