A "minor" shoulder injury.... Most shoulder injuries aren't "minor" - I hope that's not a sugar-coat.

The way Gudbranson plays I wish he could skip back to backs so he could be fresh he’s just to damn physical for it not to take a toll.

He took a pretty vicious hit from Reaves in Pittsburgh - and wasn't the same afterwards.

Yeah probably too tired to properly defend himself from taking the full impact of that hit those back to backs are tough on the bigger guys because of all the weight they carry.

Dorsett is seeing the specialist that worked on his neck on Monday in LA as a "precaution". 

 

Take your time dude, play when you feel right.

• Physical advantages of shorter height 
  Shorter people of the same proportions as taller people have many physical advantages based on the laws of physics, and these advantages are supported by many researchers. Shorter people have faster reaction times, greater ability to accelerate body movements, stronger muscles in proportion to body weight, greater endurance, and the ability to rotate the body faster. They are also less likely to break bones in falling. As a consequence of these physical attributes, shorter people can excel as gymnasts, divers, skiers, martial artists, rock climbers, figure skaters, rodeo riders, soccer players and long distance runners. Within their weight classes they are excellent wrestlers, boxers, and weight lifters.

  Shorter people are also less likely to require surgery for herniated spinal disks. In addition, shorter people are less likely to break a hip from falling. Another advantage of smaller people is that they are less likely to die in auto crashes. One study found that people weighing less than 132 pounds had the lowest risk of dying or suffering serious injuries compared to bigger people. Although height data weren't provided, it is known that height and weight tend to be correlated. Thus, lighter weight people are more likely to be shorter than heavier people. No adjustments for air bag deployment were made, although other studies have found them to negatively affect short people.~Thomas T Samaras

Meh, it can be argued they take less of a toll from the physical play in hockey due to being larger and being better able to absorb it, where smaller players might save on fatigue from things like skating effort - assuming that's equal and the smaller, faster players don't skate more. So, bigger players might be a little more tired (especially defencemen with larger minutes) but smaller players will be a little more sore. It likely is pretty even for all players on back to backs.

The Canuck "man games lost" as defined by the Nucks the last 3 years is approaching 80 or more.

This is a big loss for our team, I know most of CDC was wanting him waived at the start of the year to make room for a younger player, but he proved everybody wrong when he came back!

 

Unfortunately, Dorsett is a warrior and was never going to change his style of play that made him successful. He is doing the right thing long term by retiring, but hopefully once he gets his head wrapped around the idea of no longer being a player he can look into be a part of the game in some capacity. It sounds like he was a great mentor while he was a Canuck. 

 

Enjoy your life after your playing career, your grit will be missed!!

[petmar74]

Well done Yotes! Well done Daniel Sedin! Great stuff.

[HarryCanuck]

Is there a remote chance we could get Gudbranson back vs the Leafs?

 

I’d hate to see Kadri try to target one of our players heads again, I’d feel better if we had a deterrent. 

 

Calling Jake Virtanen....time to make your mark!
