CaNANDian Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ballard has been solid all year, Alberts is an unreliable pylon. I have no idea why Don Cherry thinks he's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kryten Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Saying Alberts over Ballard due to LA's size is retarded. Ballard's probably the only player that's actually good when playing against a bigger sized team. Watch last years Kings series, Ballard was the only solid D holding his ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Here we go again eh? There is absolutely no reason for Ballard to be benched right now. I wonder if its a locker room incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadaguy_25 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Our useless local media would be doing their jobs if the were calling Vig out on this. This is bull and everyone, including Vig, knows it. It's time to start calling that punk out publicly on his petty vindictive crap. Let Vig defend himself if he can. Enough bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauii Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does it make good sense to keep allowing AV to piss off our good players such that they want a trade. Should this team be compiled of AV's favorites, who aren't necessarily our best players, or the players that give us the best chance to win. As someone mentioned, MG should have had a chat with AV about how he's handling the players. This could inadvertently deter quality players from wanting to play here because of the coach's tactics/favoritism, negating any efforts MG and owners have done to make the Canucks THE place to play. BTW what's happened to our D. They're looking very porous and weak. They used to be so solid. There does seem to be alot of juggling and players not being too familiar with each other that could be at play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Ballard has been solid for us all year. The way he's being treated right now is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookieCrumbs Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I predict a personal rift between Ballard and coaching staff. Rightfully so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksJay Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Damn...seriously! What the eff AV You're going to play Alberts and Barker over Ballard against a soft a$$ Flames team that is playing Hartley's run and gun style that relies on speed? Ballard is THE perfect matchup for that kind of team What the hell is the matter with you? There better be a trade coming... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bookie Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Think he's either got the flu, or we wake up tomorrow to Bye Bye Ballard. Any centres around the league benched over the weekend? I'm just, uh, curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 did you guys read the rumour over at hfboards about how some globe and mail reporter saw that ballards name wasn't over his locker anymore on friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does anyone else feel like the media has been told that future access to the Canucks coach and Gm may be restricted or eliminated if they ask about Ballard? With such a nosy, speculative, hate-inciting group of reporters in VAN, how hard is it to believe they would feline foot around this without some reason to do so........

UFTcan Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Game time for a tough back end in the playoffs, which these guys are expected to play in. And Ballard well.. ranks far below garrison edler hammhuis even tanev. You cant love everybody its a buisness of numbers and Ballard doesnt fit.. I guess.

The Bookie Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I just googled it, took a few minutes but this is what I found: @DavidEbner: @patersonjeff I noticed on Fri, after practice, Ballard saw his nametag was off his locker. Seemed to think, Wtf. #hellobuyout apparently it's been deleted since, but here's the HF link: http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/showpost.php?p=60887849&postcount=329 (David Ebner is G&M's west coast sports writer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
