Navyblue Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 He was a big part of the regular season success that year, not so much the cup run. He only played 6 playoff games and wasn't nearly as effective after that eye injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsedin33 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 This sucks Feel really bad for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeydew Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I hope Manny is doing ok, all the best to his family. Manny needs to have a position or something within our organization even if he decides not to play next season. His leadership skills, face off skills, and veteran role will be missed greatly on our team especially on the PK.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salo'sBomb Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Big loss for the Canucks. Game 7 and you want to win a defensive zone faceoff in overtime, we no longer have that. Also brings leadership to the team. May not look like it but a big loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicNuckleHead09 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Support goes out to Manny and his family. Hope he stays with the Canucks and is able to be around the team a bit this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbox Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Not a big loss. All he is anymore is leadership and a voice in the room. And he still provides that even though he is injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk Hot Dog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I'm torn up about this. However, on ice or not, his influence will be felt for years to come. He's one outstanding person in skill, heart & character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustJokinen! Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Very sad news. He wasn't the same player after his injury. I expect him to retire after the season and join the coaching staff. He is probably not retiring now for cap and salary reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevlach Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Malholtra and Kesler were huge for our faceoffs that year. We were number 1 or 2 in the league basically because of those two guys. Sucks not having either right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 He's almost completely blind in that eye, one of my teachers went to the game against the flames and he said that behind the play Manny cut in to turn on his blind side and almost wrecked a guy, didn't even see him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
