Rounoush Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 HFBoards is hardly a source. It's a picture of him in a jersey with an A. If you look at the team photo that's already been posted in the Millionaire's thread here, you'll see he doesn't have it on there. In other words, it's some promotional (and candid) photos taken in a one time jersey that don't signify anything official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckelhead70 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Never has there been a thread at CDC in witch all people can agree on something or just be happy for someone else. I'm pretty sure there will be Canuck -fans complaining even if this team wins the Stanley Cup. Explaining why we shouldn't have won because of the poor decisions by GMMG at the deadline & AV for chewing gum during games and for Kesler diving to draw a penalty in the corner in game 7 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Maybe he is more articulate when telling the refs to go frack themselves. Show no mercy Bally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Vanderhoek Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Whether he has an " A " or not, I have to say he is one of the more intense and focused Canucks players. He may not drop'em or destroy a player with hits other than the ole hip check. But he is one of the harder workers on the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menace Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I think Keith put it on himself to show him and "A"lain are friends now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgyfan Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I could see Hank giving him the 'A' as acknowledgement for stepping up his game. Keith is very well liked by his teammates and is probably an asset in the locker room. If this is true, Kudos to Ballard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Isn't Ballard the last guy in a jersey on the right in the back row? I don't see an A there. I see it in the photo from behind the bench... Anyhow - I think Ballard is a good candidate. He took AV's criticism's last year exceptionally well imo - took no issue with anything said, said that himself that he had to be better - and then went about being better. This year - as good as anyone on the blueline imo - and does a very good job of supporting his d-partner. I can see why Tanev has played so well beside Ballard - Ballard has been very aware and quick to jump in to support, and he also seems like a pretty low key personality who wouldn't get down on his partner's mistakes - probably the opposite. If he does wind up wearing an A, I think he's earned it and shown why Henrik would choose him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEwantCUP Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 how many alternate captains can one team have? Kesler Burrows Bieksa Daniel Ballard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well let's see, Bieka injured, Kesler injured, Malhotra on IR, Salo signed elsewhere, so we've pretty much gone down the list of guys who would normally wear it. I'm surprised it's not Burrows, he's been here for a while and gets more time than Ballard. Usually more ice time corresponds with being able to talk to the refs more often, hence the 'A'. Still, congrats Keith if this is true, though I don't think he'll have it once Bieksa/Kesler are back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB007 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Good for him, he always seemed to be a locker-room favourite and now I guess he's our only veteran left on the blueline. He's been in this league a long time. With Malhotra and Salo gone, Ballard is our only real veteran left apart from the Sedins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xur Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hf boards as a source. lol Thats as funny as when something is discussed on here and then its discussed on the next sportsnet connected. Coincidence that they always talk about whatever topics are on the front page of these forums? Also strange that they say "most canucks fans" and it always coincides with what the majority of what CDC says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
