î мцšт вяздк чфµ Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 wish daniel a healthy recovery. nhl needs to take a tougher stance on concussion situations. as soon as a doc confirm its a concussion, the offender sits out the same # of games as the injured player. p.s. this is raymond's time to shine in dan's absense, he better step up and the last 2 games he has shown he can produce.

VAN_FAN_MATT Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Would very much love to see the Canucks (no player in particular) give Duncan Keith a receit for that dirty cheap shot on Daniel in the next game against the Sh!tcago Blackhawks. Hope Daniel has a quick recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Yeah no. You can't have a functioning powerplay without your top-scorer. The best way to deal with this (because a 5 game suspension isn't really dealing with anything) is to take matters into our own hands and target their skilled players. Toews currently has a concussion so we know he has a history. If we face Chicago in another series I want to see every single Canuck hit Toews and hit him hard. Hit him high if they have to, even the occasional border-line hit is worth it. Sadly, that's how you win in this league now, its how Boston won last year so the Canucks should get on board. I would be overly extatic to see Kassian throw a shoulder to Toews' head and knock him out for the series. Sure Kassian will get a 5 game suspension, but we knock out their MVP for the series. As dirty as that sounds, sadly it is now a strategy in the NHL. This league has gone to hell so we might as well play a little bit evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferro Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The Sedins are tougher than everyone gives them credit for. I'm hopeful that Daniel will be ready to go for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV. Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 People loved to complain about the Sedin twins for three weeks but now that Danny is unfortunately injured, it seems like most people are in a panic and think/realize we might not be able to go very far. Save for a few people, I guess CDC really doesn't know what it has until its gone. BTW, if Daniel was the one who delivered the check on Keith and got suspended, nobody would look at the five game suspension as a "rest". It would look more along the lines of how the league constantly tries to screw us over by taking out our star player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 If Dan has a serious concussion this issue is important and deadly. This is in the 'career and life altering injury' department. Where is management's response to protecting their stars and providing a deterrent on the first unit and first unit PP ? This lack of urgency on Gillis' part over the last years is illogical and ignorant and now one Sedin has suffered a potential,deadly,life altering brain injury.

As dirty as that sounds, sadly it is now a strategy in the NHL. This league has gone to hell so we might as well play a little bit evil. Remember how that turned out last time for us? Retaliation and revenge can go terribly wrong. While I agree that we should continue to play these guys hard and stand up to them, to target them with intent to injure is not right. We'd be absolute hypocrites to suggest it is. There are people here expressing concern over the message this sends to the kids who may read this. To suggest the answer is following up with more dirty play isn't the answer....you do it the right way. Yes, I agree you hit them (even Toews) every chance you get...but you don't aim for the head. I know our team won't - they lead, they don't follow. They go against the grain and I've never seen them intentionally throw out a dirty hit. Don't want that to change. Knock him out the right way - with a solid hit delivered within the rules. Make their dirty hits stand out as just that - if they start becoming the norm or part of the game plan, then we're all in trouble. I don't feel our guys should ever consider changing their game by resorting to that...would be a sad day. As angry as we are (and I know it's necessary to vent), let's not suggest our guys should become dirty thugs like the ones out there now. Their time will come.

Guest Dasein Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Like mentioned, get to the 2nd round, and we could very well have Daniel back by then as that gives him plenty of time to recover, recuperate, and get fully healthy. The first round starts April 11th, and counting today as rest and recuperation, Daniel will already have 19 days (2 weeks and 5 days, if that's easier) of rest. And that's just from now to April 11th. Second round started on April 29th for us last year, although we did start round 1 on April 13, so there is some different dates and such. So say we make it to the 2nd round, and we start the 2nd round on say April 28th. From now, until April 28th, that's 37 days (5 week and 2 days of rest) of rest for Daniel to heal up and get the proper treatments for his concussion. So, there is light at the end of the tunnel, but then again, it depends how serious Daniel's symptoms are. Those potential 5 weeks could be very beneficial to Daniel, and he could be back then. Just trying to stay positive here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar baby watermelon Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 A well rested Daniel Sedin could possibly return, look @ manny last year, but health comes first, look how well Hank played and he elevated the play of people around him, a week ago Raymond was in the doghouse, now he is an integral key to our future success.

Stark Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Urgh, that really sucks Just really hoping that it's a minor one, and for a speedy recovery. I've lost my respect for Keith. It's too bad, I thought he was better than this. The suspension was a complete joke, thank you Shanny. On another note, when is Bitz going to get another call up?

AV. Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Shut the hell up!! If Daniel did the exact same thing to Keith, I would be the first to say he should be suspended for more than 5 games. Fortunately the Sedins would NEVER stick out an elbow like that...they are way above that crap. They may embellish or not fight back trying to get a PP(take it for the team) but they wouldn't ever intentionally try and injure someone. And that pisses me off even more....yah big tough Duncan Keith going after a Sedin.....what a feline. He probably made sure Kassian or Bieksa weren't on the ice too.

The Brahma Bull Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 5 meaningless games for taking out our best player...what a pathetic league. Might as well start elbowing guys in the head like Kane, Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Weber and take them out before the playoffs. Why not if it only costs you 5 reg season games?

pimpcurtly Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I apologize if I made a bit of a generalization but I'm just saying that IF that case were to ever happen, most people(CDCers) would be complaining about him getting suspended and wouldn't see it as a "rest" or whatever most people think the NHL has done with this Keith situation. I am in NO WAY saying that an elbow would EVER be acceptable, and I'm well aware the Sedins are above that level in terms of class and respect on the ice.
