*Buzzsaw* Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 On 12/15/2019 at 3:47 PM, WHL rocks said: Ferland had a similar set back coming back from a concussion in Carolina. He took himself out of his first game back in the 1st period. Coaches weren't happy with him as he was medically cleared. With his head injury Ferland has said publicly that he would never return until 100%. Good idea Canucks should LTIR him for at least couple of months. Let him sit even after he's healthy. Let him heal properly. Then maybe he can be a player again. One more concussion and he's in retirement territory. LTIR him and send him home for good. Use the cap space on a top 6 winger. I completely agree. Right now he is bruised goods... but give him the opportunity to heal and he can be a player again. Better to look at this long term... he will be a good player for the Canucks in the last two months of the season and next year if we give him time off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I think Edler is out until after Xmas break. 3 more games then break. He can use that time to fully recover. Sadly I think we're going to lose all 3 games coming up vs VGK PIT and EDM.. Need Edler back to start winning again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe there’s still people who think he’s expendable. The record is awful any time he’s out of the lineup 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has become a surprisingly important part of this team - I wish him well. (To he clear, I would even if he was NOT an important part of the team. Personal health is always most important imo) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect Ferland for that decision. He knows best how his head is feeling. I'm sure he did feel well enough in practice to get cleared, but game situations are different. Good for him for taking care of his body, hopefully it allows him to get back to 100% 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two more games ,then a four day break coming up.Good for the short term.......However,..after Christmas ,he will need relief, and that probably means starting the inexperienced Mikey D in net. Demko took 2 months to recover from his last concussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko took 2 months to recover from his last concussion. This is why IF the Canucks have to expose a goalie in the Seattle expansion draft, I think it should be Demko. He's injury-prone and has suffered concussion problems which always seem to be lurking around the corner for players with these issues. Marky is the better goalie and has been much healthier in his career. Mikey might be ready to be a #2 after that draft, he's having a fantastic year in Utica and it looked like he took over as the #1 after not winning that spot out of camp.

peaches5 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 https://twitter.com/Canucks/status/1208472104653316096?s=20 Coach Green updates: Eriksson is in. Markstrom starts. Leivo will be out 2-to-3 months with a fractured kneecap. Sutter has an upper-body injury and won't likely play until after the break. Ferland is closer, but doesn't have a timeline for his return.

SergioMomesso Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 And yet the refs both watched Holden give him that cheap shove in a dangerous position without any reaction. If that's not intentional game management, I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden would have got 25 or more. Pretty ridiculous that refs make their decisions like this but they’ve made it pretty clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty ridiculous that refs make their decisions like this but they’ve made it pretty clear. The whole night of officiating bothered me. right when Leivo went down I knew they didn't want to make that call just because five minutes earlier Fantenberg drew a boarding call and Gallant was calling for a dive. Hence the non call on Holden. And next period Myers goes down on an icing call with a slight trip and ref says "no way Myers, you were on your way down already'. And the hook and grab on Petey in OT was just too easy to call but no call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a ref has the last call he made in his head when officiating he is not doing his job properly. Way too much of that in the NHL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
