I went by the caption on the Getty page here: http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/news-photo/bert-robertsson-news-photo/53132108?Language=en-GB It says that picture is from the 2000 season which would be the 2000-2001 season and Daniel Sedin played 75 games in that season.

Greg Hawgood. Wait, I got the number 4s mixed up. That's Justin Kurtz. Hawgood usually had a beard.

Nope. Hint: He's the twin brother of the current captain.

Well, I was actually looking for the name of the player whose arm is showing on the right edge of the picture but I guess I'll accept these answers as correct.

I'll play your little game.

The refs need to stop holding Kassian's arms when gutless punks are throwing suckerpunches at him.

Artem Chubarov. I think he still has that NHL record.
-
Walter Matthau.

Where are the Kassian haters now? Drinking their own tears.

Minor League Willie is an idiot for sitting Kassian.

There were plenty of people smarter than you who said Dallas Eakins was going to be a great NHL coach. Like I said, this team was too soft to play a hardnosed style. Canucks fan no matter what. Just annoying to see them make stupid decisions. He could be a rocket scientist for all I care. He has never been an NHL head coach which means he's a rookie. WHL general manager, you say? Was he also a great manager at his lemonade stand as a kid? I have a horrible feeling Desjardins is going to be an Eakins-type disaster if Vancouver hires him.

It'll be a huge mistake hiring Desjardins as the Canucks' next head coach. A 57-year old with no NHL experience at all. Really? This is not some expansion team that can let a rookie NHL coach make mistakes and learn from them. Their top end players are not old but the team needs to win now before they do get old. The Sedins sucked last season as did Burrows which is the single biggest reason they struggled (that and this team was too soft to play the hardnosed style Tortorella wanted). Those guys should have a big year to erase the horrid memories from last season. If Kesler wants out, good riddance. He's a winger posing as a centre anyway and whines when he gets played as a winger. They should get a decent return for him which is another reason to believe the Canucks will bounce back in a huge way. Hiring a newb coach isn't going to help this team. They need a veteran NHL coach with a strong voice who won't be worrying about whether he's handling NHLers the right way or not.
