Odd. Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hansen never got back after the scrap (seconds after he got hit by Rielly). I'm thinking concussion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the Flames without Giordano, Brodie and Gaudreau. Imagine the Leafs without Reilly and, uh... Some other guy and Matthews. Imagine the Ducks without Fowler, Lindholm or Getzlaf. Even though our caliber of players are not as good as players I have displayed as an example, but it is a good argument. But then again, no excuses.

jmahyoung Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 This injury trend is alarming. Absolutely alarming. These last 2 years. Management please have a long hard look at training and game preparation strategies with respect to: fitness and stretching. WHATEVER has changed in the last 2 years, it DOESN'T WORK- that means change it back to what it was before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skille will be back in, Labate I think gets the call up. I think Virt deserves a shot in the top 6. Labate can play in our bottom 6. He'll fit in perfectly with Baer and Horvat.

I would love to see Benning fired due to his inability to add any toughness to our forwards over the years.... Pathetic work by our manager to leave the Sedins unprotected.... and guys like Hansen left to do this type of work... What the hell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this Hansen specific thread I'd wager no perfect combo of fitness and stretching exists that would've allowed Hansen to absorb that awkward looking hit. Tanev has a bone bruise, and Edler, well we don't really know yet do we. I'd like to have a healthier team, but sometimes it's just bad bad luck.

I think that word is out that the Canucks can be exposed if you come down hard on them physically. Hell, even the Leafs tried it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This information is useless. The only thing JB hates more than goals is Dmen that score goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
