Amish Rake Fighter Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 In 3 weeks? AV is blowing smoke. There is absolutely no reason to show his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowjack Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Higgins might've been the mystery Canuck playing through a foot injury that Chris Cuthbert and Ray Ferraro alluded to last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 It seems like every time someone comes back from an injury, someone else gets injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Tanev is easily replacable by guys like Ballard... but Higgins? We better hope the injury is very minor, maybe a sore groin or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theminister Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 AV has admitted that he's in playoff mode now so that is a strong possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 AV is the most unreliable source for injury updates. Think about it, he's wrong like 90% of the time. It's like he's trolling everyone so eventually nobody will ask him about them anymore. I wouldn't worry too much about these particular injuries. Both players probably played while injured to finish the game. And need to heal to be as healthy as possible for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodee Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Put Kass on 3rd and let JS centre Raymond and Kes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Can't catch a break, but I hope it's just AV with the gamesmanship and the guy will be back before playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyville88 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The fact that they both finished the games they were injured in suggests it's not as bad as it may seem The Canucks are in playoff mode - super cryptic, not divulging a whole lot, lots of bluffing. I think we'll see them both ready to go for playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stexx Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 http://www.teamradio...-body-injuries/ hear from AV, . TSN is reporting that Higgins has a sprained knee which is not considered serious, while Tanev is out with an ankle injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not sure why people are overreacting to these injuries so much. We need them all healthy for the playoffs, not for meaningless stretch games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thema Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Look on the bright side; if we go out in the first round as so many people say (not me though) then we have the perfect excuse... once again, either "injuries" or "he's not back to normal". This team sure seems fragile to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Jason Botchford: Sprained knee near end of game AV: Hope to have him back for the playoffs I heard that Higgins may be out for season.. If so, then who would we call up? Either way, we can last without Tanev and Higgins for rest of season. Games ahead, Edm/Cal/Nsh etc.. Hopefully hes ready to for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pibroch Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 no it's Sweatt time!!!! I can't believe this though, we cannot buy a break this year with all the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Not too worried.. This is most likely playoff maitinence. Higgins looked fine last night. He probably has something bugging him that he can finally rest with the return of half the team. He would play if this was the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Honestly, it's the longest road trip of the season. I wouldn't send out banged-up guys either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hopefully they're being overly cautious with the time off. We won't go far without those 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancuker Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Tanev never made mistakes either. Higgins was solid. This isn't good, we're one more injury away from disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
