So nobody should have ever compared Patrick White to Perron.
Do you set the rules to what is allowed to be discussed in each topic?
Is just a point of interest some may find intersting because many thought the Canucks were gonna end up with Beach pre-draft.

and yet we didn't. you want to bring up some kopitar stats while you're at it?

"I love playing in intense games," Hodgson said. "It drives me to play even better. I love to compete. If there's a challenge, I want to meet it and beat it."

Wow thats a string of about 3 or 4 posts in which you've jumped on somebody for something stupid....don't worry you can put away your junk it is not a contest.

But on topic I'm very excited to see how Hodgson fairs with a Brampton team missing alot of old faces, is there an ETA for him getting back on the ice yet?

According to this he sould be back skating in a week that was nov.1 so I think by the weekend he will be skating again, maybe another week after he might play?

[avelanch]

hopefully he starts soon. He needs to get back into shape if he hopes to play for Canada in the WJC.

there is no way he will get cut. they will milk him along if needed.

[SchroederDaShredder]

Looks like he's not going be playing until at least December.....

[GZA]

i don't think hodgson will play in the WJC, his conditioning will be nowhere close to rest of the guys. its gonna take 4-5 games before he even gets his legs back.

HI just a quick CH question... didnt really wanna start a thread on one of the more main pages. Do you guys think CH has a shot for the canucks in the playoffs after yet ANOTHER year of jr. Obviously Aprils a FAR way away and a lot can happen on this team with injuries/ standings. Once hes back to full strength and lighting it up without Duchene we will start to see his real worth once again. This guy is too good not to get a callup over Bolduc.

I guess adding to that a more general question. When can rookies come up and play for no 9 game count or w.e?

Deadline? Playoffs?

Coming off this extra year to develop when all his pals (matt, john, steve) are lighting it up in the big leagues will be enough for him to want to command a spot over say, Jannik Hansen or Tanner Glass.

Maybe MG plays it safe and gives him another run in Manitoba like everyone else and I guess it will all depend on a lot of other factors out of our control but I drool at seeing this guy play with an extra year of maturation as well as the desire to shine when all his friends are watching on TV.

[EV604]

Hes going to be even slower now!!!
Woot Woot

[avelanch]

according to the article, he's worked on strengthening the muscles in the back and is going to be working on increasing the speed, but still favours his right side. If he gets into a game or 2 in November, he'll most likely play in the WJC, but if he doesn't play until December he'll run the risk of not repping the country this year.

I'm curious: is anyone actually worried about his back long-term anymore or do you all think he's in good hands and will be 100% after his treatment regimen is done?

Tough to say. I think it's pretty reasonable to remain cautious and a bit concerned about a player as young as CH suffering this kind of a setback (one usually expects back problems to show up a bit later in a player's career) due to (what became) a lingering back problem (whether simply by early mismanagement of the injury or simply by its severity) but he's definitely been in the best of "good hands" once actually treated at the Cleveland Clinic (we can maybe question how good the "hands" were with his medical care in Vancouver but that's another issue...) so I would tend to trust the prognosis his current specialist is offering, which, by all indications, is a good one. However, back injuries are tricky and, without access to CH's medical records, etc, it's very hard for anyone to know what the longterm issues (if any) might be. I think it's safe to say that, at the very least, some people remain a bit worried about this back issue resurfacing in the future and possibly limiting CH's development and chances for a successful NHL career. That all being said, I still would bet on CH making a complete recovery and eventually being "100% after his treatment regimen is done", simply because he is young and should (under proper medical care and rehab/training) be able to come back from this unscathed. That's the hope anyway, I'm certain, for all Canucks fans and most Canadian hockey fans (given CH's WJHC prominence).

we shudda drafted Tyler Myers maybe. Beach is a tool.

BRAMPTON, Ont. – Cody Hodgson isn’t ready to start skating with the Brampton Battalion yet, but his ailing back is slowly returning to full strength.

“It’s good,” centre Hodgson, 19, said recently as he continued rehabilitation under the supervision of Battalion trainer Binne Brouwer.

Hodgson got a positive report on a second visit to Ohio’s Cleveland Clinic last week. Hodgson, who injured a disc in his back while training in July, is scheduled to return to the facility later this month for another evaluation.

“The people at the Cleveland Clinic have seen a big improvement since I was there the last time. Hopefully everything continues to go well. They’ve given me some more functional exercises to do and, if I feel no pain and things are going well, I can start light skating soon.”

Said Hodgson: “My back feels much better. I’m still favouring my right side trying to take the pressure off. I’ve been making huge progress, but there’s still work to do.”

Hodgson, a resident of Markham, Ont., said no timetable has been set for his return to Ontario Hockey League duty.

“The biggest thing for me right now is not to reinjure it. The first stage was to strengthen everything around it, and now I work on my balance, strength and coordination. There are still a couple more stages to go. I can’t look too far ahead because I don’t want to rush anything.”

Selected 10th overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the National Hockey League’s 2008 Entry Draft, Hodgson was assigned to the Battalion on Sept. 29.

“Obviously I’d like to be playing again, but I can’t do that. I’m not traveling with the team, but I’ve hung out with the guys. It’s great to be back with them. I just have to stick to the program.”

Cody Hodgson is going to be a great NHLer one day. Don't worry about him. He has the attitude!

They said the Sedins were too slow... remember that?

"Hodgson was returned to his Ontario Hockey League club at the end of September, so he and only be called up by the Canucks in an emergency injury situation and for a maximum of five games."

Thats the last line of that article from the Province that the poster above just linked us to. This is the first I've heard of this ability for the Canucks to bring him up for temporary injury relief. Any one happen to know if there's truth to this, and what the injury situation would have to be in order for it to be an "emergency injury situation"?
