Navyblue Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I also like Alberts...Not sure if I would slot him in for Tanev or Rome, but if Salo seems to need a night off I'd make that switch. I know it's taboo to knock Sammy Salo, but he does get beat a fair bit recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckLeaf Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 You have to read between the lines a bit but basically Ballard has been symptom free for close to a month but he had no desire to rush back into the lineup. He seemed more than content in taking as much time as possible. On March 28th he himself said he was symptom free but said he was still rusty and wanted to get up to speed. He certainly didn't sound in the interview I saw with him like a guy chomping on the bit to get back. Instead he seemed like he wanted to be overly cautious about returning. Honestly, I can't say I blame the guy really. He has tons of money and is still getting paid while out and he has had a few concussions now. However, I think once a player starts thinking more about his health than about playing it is a problem. I really think Ballard should be just shut down for the year because I suspect he is going to be walking on egg shells out there tonight and the Canucks don't need that.

soshified Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I would rather have Andrew "The Garbage" Alberts than a healthy Rome or a rusty Ballard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixteen W's Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I missed Ballard's play. His injury came out of nowhere for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
