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"?

We'd have to be completely out of call ups before we'd be allowed to bring him up. Not sure if it's by position or not, but I think we'd even need to try and get Lukowich through re-entry waivers before we could call up Cody.

I still think we should have kept him around during his re-hab and given him the 9 games when he recovered. Then again, according to Dr Vigneault there was no injury.

I seem to recall Columbus doing this a few years ago with Steve Mason. I can't remember the exact circumstances, but I recall it being mentioned. I thought it was unusual at the time.

[avelanch]

it's much easier to accomplish with a goalie vs a forward. we have too many forwards in our system to be able to call up Hodgson right now, and will take one hell of an injury bug (much worse than we already have) in order to call him up. it's nearly impossible outside of a airplane crash... *knocks on wood*.

[playboi19]

I think he'll develop into a Brad Richards type.

The Battalion won 2-0 over the Knights today, and now sit 4th in the conference. It looks like they're not doing as poor as everyone thought they would, add Hodgson to the team and they may have a shot at another playoff run.

I'm not sure whether I want them to do well or to have them out of it and give Cody a chance with another team, a la Tavares traded last year. We'll have to wait and see how he does when he gets back and if his Team Canada tournament is a big success.

Quite possibly only when there are no other players available to call up eg all the forwards are injured and all the Moose players are up, but there still isn't a enough bodies to have a full lineup.

it's not ALL of the moose, only the moose/salmon kings forwards that are signed to the Canucks. Still, it's very rare/improbable.

I agree. It would be nice for Cody to get traded to a competitive team so he'd have a shot at the Memorial Cup because Brampton doesn't have a shot at it this year. But on the other hand it might be good for him to stay with Brampton and then join the Moose for some more experience once his season is done.

[LostViking]

What if we were to call up so many players that the Moose didn't have enough bodies to dress a full lineup? Would that constitute an emergency need for an extra player?

[avelanch]

For Hodgson to be able to be called up all of the following players must have already been called up/injured:
Mario Bliznak
Guillaume Desbiens
Dan Gendur
Pierre-Cedric Labrie
Matt Pope
Sergei Shirokov
Eric Walsky

In addition to anyone we might have signed as a free agent instead of waiting to get to that point.

Dont recall who but the Canucks have done it before,,,is lots of ways to sidetrack it I would imagine,,,say we were in the east and said Cody is the only one we can have here for tomorrow. There is an emergency rule for a reason, and it has been used before, and every team has some form of farm clubs, so to say we have to try every forward we have signed who is playing pro hockey before we called up Cody is just wrong.

I'm not going to clutter up the Sauve thread any more than I already have done:

Yeah, he went to the 2008 camp and was sent back to junior. He wasnt the last cut and since we are the on subject, provide the source to prove he was the last cut.

Secondly, he was a healthy scratch by arniel right in the end . He was benched in Manitoba. Everyone said it was he was too tired .

this year he was cut and THEN he got he was injured after going to get futher opinions.

So yeah, ive downgraded him.

I think at this time and moment, hes 4th. It could change so CALM THE FREAK DOWN.

why do you guys have such and innate and immature INTOLERANCE to anyone who doesn't agree with your opinion?

Like you guys are CDCs version of the SS and come to RIP APART anyone who doesnt agree with your opinions? There is no provision in the rules to do that. Nor is it appropriate anyways.


You want everyone's opinion to be the same and furthermore if so YOU get to decide what everyone's opinion is?

Why would you want a CDC like that?

I am glad that this 'reputation' thing is exposing how much of a high school yard clique mentality the place can be .

He was injured at the start of the training camp. Surely you remember that? He was doing a coaches job for many of the drills at the start of the camp, like dumping the puck for one drill. That second opinion was from the Executive Director of the Cleveland Clinic Sports Health Center. The first opinion was by Canucks staff who are paid to get guys back from injury as soon as possible. Remember the similar case Mitchell had?

As for getting cut by the Moose during the playoffs, he did play 11 games for the Moose scoring 6 points including what was nearly the GWG in the penultimate game in the finals which helped the Moose stave off elimination. He also got a point on a great play in the final game of the year.

He was being rested regularly throughout that cup run as he ended up playing around 120 matches all together, over 90 of which were competitive games. That is an insane amount of games for a guy that is used to playing junior. You are either unaware of this, or you are choosing to ignore it for the sake of your argument.


Here's a quick reading list for you. If you can come back for some reason you think Hodgson won't make it after reading this lot, you might not get bad reputation marks for your argument:

heh, i was about to respond similarly in the sauve thread when i saw your message about continuing here (though not with so many links) hodgson wasn't benched at the end, he was scratched in the middle when players came back, and then was put back in the next game.

I noticed he's been saying "Prove it" lately quite a bit. So I thought I'd prove everything I'd said.

If his criticisms were rational I wouldn't mind so much.

Agreed, he seems to think everyone is out to get him and disreguard his opinions. When in reality we simply question why he thinks a certain way, especially when his judgment of certain situations is absolutely ridiculous(eg.being scratched for a game in the AHL playoffs counts as a fail ). Pinhead you are assuming to much in my opinion especialy to say he is faking an injury, because he would not have missed this length of time plus what about all the different people that would have to check him out on a regular basis, you don't really think they are all in on some conspiricy do you? Because I'm sure the Battalion would rather have him out with a fake injury because he's ashamed of being cut, then to approve their captain and best player to play. It would have to be pretty elaborate scheme for this to happen and come on even if for some reason he was faking he probably would be back to playing by now, you can only have a non-exsistant injury for so long.

[Hafizzle]

Good use of research there Jimmy.

[playboi19]

He's back skating and will return to full contact practice within the week, according to sportsnet. Nice!

[Skoopie]

i cant wait for him to return from injury and start ripping it up in time for the world juniors
