The man is injury-plagued, and while his slap shot is fast, it's very erratic in its aim. I'm actually tired of seeing him play the point on the 1st unit PP, but I guess we have no one else.
And you can't really say anything good about Salo apart from being a steady stay at home D man when he's not injured.

Salo hasnt had "The Shot" for the last 3 seasons..
and u guys are 100% right about skating with NHLer's, I play in DIV 4 in the ASHL which is actually pretty good, almost everyone on our team has played hockey their whole lives and everyones pretty good
and there's 3 more div's ahead of us..DIV 1 = ex-junior players and NHL rejects, they are fuckin crazyyyy good, could hammer surrey eagles etc.

If we hadn't signed him at that rate, the fans woulda been screaming blue murder.

Everybody knows how difficult it is to be in the NHL and how much talent you need to be anywhere near that level. So what? The guy was just stating his opinion based on what he sees. It's just a game. One that would not exist at that kind of level if fans didn't give a shit and support it by watching it closely and paying for it - one way or another.
Again, nobody was doubting the level of play. We all criticize. Without criticism, there would be no standard.

Come on, 150 pounds? No gamer worth his salt would come in an ounce under 250.

I went to HSBC yesterday in hopes of picking up those pocket schedules and calendars they were giving out last year. They didn't and won't have any this year. I know there's one you can print out on the Canucks' web site, but would like to have the real one. Does anyone know where else I can pick one up?

+1. And I'm not expecting much out of these guys. In fact, I would be pleasantly surprised if they make it past round 2 if they make it to the PO.
So far, they've already exceeded my expectation. Win or lose, it's good to see a hockey team play with hockey passion again. Led by the likes of Burrs, Kes, Mase & Hansen. God I can't believe how much I miss this kind of hockey.

Gaborik is already being shopped around.
Would you take him if you were the Canucks?

If the Canucks were interested, I'd take Gaborik over Sundin. younger, more potential and cheaper. Let see what happens.
