    Sorry to hear of your loss.

    A good family friend just passed away this last week who was also a truly dedicated fan. At her memorial service, her Canuck's jerseys were proudly displayed for all to see. The priest spoke of her love of the Nucks as did her family during the Eulogy.

    My dad (now 85) has been a Canuck's fan since they entered the league. He has lived in Kelowna since the war and until recent health problems atteneded everty Bucakroo, Packer and Rockets game held. He got to watch my brother play junior and the Rockets with the Memorial Cup on home ice in Kelowna. IT would be a dream come true for him to see the Canucsk win the cup.

    Hopoefully the boys can get it done for themselves and all their fans past and present.

    Good read.  I agree Kesler is frustrtated.  He has chemistry with Hansen, Tamby and Shirokov but gets stuck with the king of perimeter hockey - Raymond. It seems AV is more concerned with Raymond's development htan the cohesiveness and production of the 2nd line. WHat I see in the Nucks offense is predicatability and a lack of intensity/desparation.  I believe this is why they are struggling to win game swwhere they do not hold the lead.  THey are simply incapable of taking their energy on offense to a higher level. SOme of the young guns they have showcased, looked very good and very dangerous but were completely mis-managed by AV, again!! YOu mention Rome getting more minutes than Ballard.  Classic example of AV and him playing his favorites. AV's solution to the problem of non-production on the top 6 is to double shift the top 6.  THis has led to a top 6 group that looks frustrated, fatigued and ineffective.  IT shows in the lack of speed in their attack, the careless passes and turnovers adn teh poor defensive zone coverage we have witnesed lately.The Nucks could inject some creativity and energy into their game with some of the prospects they have but it will never happen under AV.Cody Hodgson getting 5 minutes on the 4th line while Tanner Glass (who I really like on the 4th) gets 2nd line minutes says it all about AV's head space.
