TheRussianRocket. Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Elliotte Friedman on HNIC: The Canucks are still awaiting full information and are not commenting. Another MRI is still to be taken. Word is it is a severe lower body injury and Hamhuis will miss an extensive period of time. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/22/report-dan-hamhuis-injury-is-significant-but-not-season-ending/ Report: Dan Hamhuis’ injury is significant, but not season-ending The Vancouver Canucks lost defenseman Dan Hamhuis to a significant lower-body injury that will sideline him for months, not weeks, according to PHT’s Dhiren Mahiban. One bit of promising news amid this grim update regarding the 2014 Canadian Olympic team member: Mahiban reports that it isn’t expected to be a season-ending injury. Hamhuis, 31, seemed to suffer his injury when his skate might have gotten caught in a rough spot in the ice. He was injured early on against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday, as he only logged 19 seconds of ice time in that game. Here’s video of the unfortunate moment: Hamhuis has seen a decline in ice times and his possession stats haven’t been as impressive as usual this season, but this could still be a tough loss for a Vancouver team that’s off to a pretty impressive start in 2014-15. The team recalled Frank Corrado in his absence. Well damn. This really sucks. I initially thought Hammer tweaked his groin or something but clearly it's something much bigger than that. Hope the team cruises on and doesn't make a desperation trade for at least the first few games. Evaluate how the team does as is and get guys to step up. Bruins are in a much worse situation defensively and are finding ways within the organization. From what I recall, Tanev was brought up in an almost similar circumstance and look at what he's become. Wish we picked up Schlemko off waivers. No charge and could've helped us a lot but that ship has sailed now. Hope Corrado/Sanguinetti can show some promise and develop in the absence of Dan and man, will we need guys like Juice/Weber/Edler to pick their game up. Honestly the worst possible player to get injured for us. Oh well, every team endures the same thing and this is where we will see where our team is at.

DrChill Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 So does Benning make a move? Extra forward plus a current Dman for upgrade? Would make space for Horvat or/and Jensen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuck nit Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Although the injury appeared to be serious,I will wait for the Canucks to tell us how long Dan is out. Dhiren Mahiban ain't doing it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimito Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Time to get a new top D man. Nux always needed a stud D man. Benning needs to get one before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robongo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Brutal. Our top 4 looks terrible now. Need Edler to play upwards of 26 mins a night now. Looked like a MCL injury to me personally. But what the hell do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Youch. There goes the season. Thinking of you Hammer, tough to be injured around the holidays and not playing the game you love. It was a huge mistake trading Garrison this summer, now we're gonna see how huge. This team was only carrying 7 dman this season, when they've carried 8 for like six years or so. And really only have 1 quality d prospect on the farm (Corrado). They are clearly gonna need another d-man. Sbisa/Weber playing the easiest mins out of the dmen. Big difference is team is getting out shot with Sbisa on the ice, but not with Weber. So I hope Weber gets the call to move in top 4 vs Sbisa.

-DLC- Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 ACL? MCL? God, not good. We can't afford to lose players on D. What a fluke thing this was, but he couldn't put weight on it and it was obvious he'd done something significant. Good luck with the healing Dan, we'll miss you out there.

Robongo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 What really sucks is that Bieksa and Stanton are extremely injury prone, and Sbisa still has lingering problems from his high ankle sprain.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiboynux4lifee******* Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I don't think canucks should trade any of there future prospects for a D-man unless its a stud;if it is a stud you know they will be trading away a jensen or shinkurak. Lets becareful what we wish for, because Canuck's were never projected to be this high;just hope they can keep at a 500 pace, they will easily slide into the playoffs and hammer will be back. Also, I hope they give bobby sanguietti a chance to make a name for himself in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
