darnucks Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 People who don't play hockey shouldn't be lecturing real hockey players on how to do their jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradin123 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Perhaps you need to change your name to Dr.gradin123, since you obviously know more than any of us about his injury and what he will and will not need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realnucksfan2010 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 There is no upside to being the pres trophy winner and going out in 5 games in the first round. What is worse is the way they lost, this team appeared to have no desire this year, it was painful to watch. As far as rest goes it will be good, but that's about it for up side to going down early. Mabey the other upside could be that the team has more time to search their hearts and see if they can't find some pride for next season and the will to bring home the cup. Happy golfing boys!

Flintigen Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I strenuously object. There's no upside ever for an early elimination. I am not okay with this team missing the playoffs. I am not okay with this team getting eliminated in the first round. I am not okay with this team getting eliminated ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I don't think we would have won the cup. Early exit is better than 2nd, 3rd round. More time to rest/recover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjr Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Lets put it this way. Not all injuries are the same. I blew my knee out. It healed but I had no strength in it. There was no pain, but I just could not get that leg to perform for two years. I am sure that Keslers injury could be similar. He looks fine, but his body just didn't generate the strength needed to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Swansons Moustache Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Also give Kassian a full summer to workout with the Canucks trainers. Watch out for him next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butters Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Using your analogy, Kesler was the one with the strained wrist and Linden was the one with the broken leg. Linden played the last 4 games of the Stanley Cup with cracked ribs and torn rib cartilage. http://www.nhl.com/i...s.htm?id=397641 Kesler played with a shoulder injury that wasn't bad enough to even be given a maintenance day down the stretch.

Heretic Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Do you understand what an upside even is? Things are rarely, if ever, all good or all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradin123 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 your right that rib injury sounds much worse than <generic unknown shoulder injury>. But that's probably because you very specific with that one, and not with the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DIBdaQUIB Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 He said the exact same thing after the 2010 season when he had a poor playoffs. Fool me once shame on me, but you ain't fooling me twice. Remember this . http://www2.canada.c...68-1834ced84404 Sound familiar? If it is not an excuse then why does it keep coming up. There was no surgery that offseason.
