Great job on the thread OP. You would be surprised how many posters don't put the date in the title let alone gametime or channel. +1 for effort

[86Viking]

I don't really blame the guy. He hasn't been able to have an autonomous life since he was a teenager.

I would get kind of sick of it eventually too.

true, but hes playing a game and getting paid millions to do it. Most of us live lives where we are just an average person walking down the street. If you could make millions and have security for life would you be ok dealing with media and have scrutny come your way for 10-15yrs and then live the life where money will never be an issue for the next 40 plus years of your life.

I get athletes are under the microscope especially in vancouver, but they get paid so much money if they dont like it or cant handle it then im sorry but i dont feel bad for them and the millions they make to play hockey.

Enjoyed watching Kesler played but glad we moved on, shouldnt keep players around who dont wanna be here, best of luck to him for the remainder of his career

[UticaHockey]

What the? With all this newfound depth, we're already calling up... DeFazio?!?

Who are you looking to be called up for a possible insurance role to sub into the fourth line if needed?

Shink doesn't fit that role and is constantly being pushed off the puck in the AHL. Needs more time to develop and work on his strength after missing almost an entire year of hockey.

Gaunce is a possible choice but at this point in time DeFazio is a better all around hockey player although Gaunce certainly will be a better player in a year or two.

The prospects will get there but they aren't ready yet.

Not a hope in hell Canucks win this one! not nearly good enough to compete with anything but mediocre teams. If they do make playoff's will never ever get out of first round. The old boys just don't have it in them anymore...sad but true.

prediction 4-0 lose.

[Guest Dasein]

Real curious as to what our lineup is going to look like with all the injuries and all.

This road trip is taking a toll on our players.

[Plaguez]

Not good. Injuries mounting. The boys need to win this game, if only to prove to themselves that any swing against these big Cali teams doesn't mean losses.

Have to stay out of the box, draw some penalties and get an early lead in this one.

[86Viking]

kenins would have been an interesting call up

[rpcanucks<3]

Paleassssse start Miller!!!

[Heretic]

Go Canucks GO!

[UticaHockey]

kenins would have been an interesting call up

Kenins has played well and can fill that role too. DeFazio has played extremely well and earned the call up. Gilman has been in Utica for the past few weeks and should have a good sense of what level everyone is playing at.

Question for UticaHockey...how has Zalewski played?

[elenap]

I hope Big Bonino has a great game.
Go Canucks, and win it. I don't care how ugly, just win.

[UticaHockey]

Question for UticaHockey...how has Zalewski played?

Zalewski is improving. He was skating around with a lot of energy but not being very effective and was a healthy scratch for a couple games. Now he seemed to slow down a little and let the game come to him and is playing a more structured game. He scored his first goal Friday in Cleveland.

[coryberg]

I hope Big Bonino has a great game.

Go Canucks, and win it. I don't care how ugly, just win.

You mean "speedy" bonino (that'd what Damian cox, john Shannon and the rest of the eastern media who have never watched a canucks/ducks game call him).

[Robongo]

I hope Sbisa is able to go as I'm sure he'd be playing with a big chip on his shoulder

[-Vintage Canuck-]

It's official, Canucks recall Brandon DeFazio from Utica Comets.

Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the Canucks have recalled forward Brandon DeFazio from the AHL Utica Comets.

Good teams has down and the up,up, and up. Mediocre has ups and downs. Lower teams goes up and then down and down. All through out the season

[Tambellini's Wrist Shot]

You mean "speedy" bonino (that'd what Damian cox, john Shannon and the rest of the eastern media who have never watched a canucks/ducks game call him).

If they have even watched Bonino play one shift, they would realize his stride looks like he's trudging through sand.

[Zuongo]

Would love a win here more than anything. I think even though we lost yesterday, A win against the Ducks could show the league we are different from last year. Plus would love to see Keslers face after we beat him haha...

Although to be realistic, Ducks win 3-1

[Outsiders]

3-1 canucks

just kidding

3-0 ana
