lol yea i know but it just gives you a rough sketch. I like what i see.

Still sad Ohlund is gone :(
Loved that guy.

TBH, I'm surprised we bothered to keep Salo instead of Ohlie lol
I expected when Salo re-signed to actually not get signed haha

Ohlund was way too slow to keep around we had to get out of that stage

We already been through this, Salo may be the glass-man, but if you didn't notice what a HUGE difference it made every time he played in the playoffs versus when he didn't... you weren't watching the game! Not even the playoffs... regular season too... I had no idea what a big impact he has until last year when he went in/out of the lineup a few times.

Hopefully him and Schneider can alternate injuries.

It will be a welcome sight for the Vancouver Canucks today at prospects camp as the team's most highly rated youngster, Cody Hodgson will be back on the ice.

The 19-year old Hodgson has been cleared to skate by team doctors after injuring his back during a routine workout earlier in the summer. While he has not been cleared for contact yet, it is a step in the right direction for a player who hopes to crack the Canucks' roster this season.

"It's a great opportunity," Hodgson told reporters at General Motors place Monday. "Obviously no one is guaranteed a spot but I'm going to work for it.

I've done all I can in Junior and now it's time to move on."

After a season in which he captured Gold for Canada and finished as the tournaments leading scorer at the IIHF World Junior hockey championship along with capturing the CHL's player of the year honours, it seems that the next logical step would be the NHL. However Canucks' head coach Alain Vigneault is doing his best to temper expectations on the young sniper.

"We're looking forward to see what he can do at this level," Vigneault told reporters. "He's definitely going to get every opportunity to show his stuff and I'm confident that's he's going to do real well."

One thing that has impressed his head coach is Hodgson's maturity and how he has dealt with the stress of being a highly rated prospect.

"I think all players have to be able to handle pressure, and pressure in a market like Vancouver is there on a daily basis," said Vigneualt. "I think Cody, in the past, has handled himself really well in situation where there has been a lot of pressure and I don't see why it should be any different."

While Hodgson is champing at the bit to resume normal hockey activity, he will not be with the team at the upcoming prospect tournament in Edmonton, however he should be ready when the Canucks' main camp gets underway on September 12th.

"I'm pretty excited," stated Hodgson. "I want to get back and it's driving me nuts not being able to have contact but I know it takes some time."

Should he make the team out of camp, Hodgson will have a great opportunity to skate on one of the team's top two scoring lines as the Canucks appear to be lacking a bit of depth at centre. Despite this, Hodgson is not taking anything for granted.

"I look at the opportunity like maybe there is a spot for me and I can take it."

At least he won't be a lame duck coach....

hopefully with our newest additions to the team, we will be able to play our offensive style again

man i can't wait for hockey to start again :)

1st vid was pretty crazy at the puck control

Quick question for you Canuckleheads.. I'm looking into purchasing a Linden Skate jersey from the team store.. does anyone know how much it cost for everything if you've purchased one before? and how long it takes to make it and how is it (post pics if you have one :) ) ? Also, are they able to add the "C" if you desire? sorry, I tried calling them but no freaking answer....

TIA!

:lol

I don't think scoring is going to be a huge issue....

I would answer your question but you never answered my PM...

*edit:

Ok, so the skate jersey and the home jersey are the same price. So 119.99 + tax = 135.19 and the C is already embroidered on.

:lol you see how quickly this can be resolved!

So I heard on the team this morning that the new russian guy is really turning heads at camp so far.
Right not they can compare him to bure when he first came into the nhl. Does anyone have any vids of him?

sick move in first vid

sergei looks pimping

Looks like he has Linden's signature wrister from the shoot outs.

Wow. Shirokov is looking to be the player I've been waiting for we'd get all these years; A guy who's got great hands with great footwork.

I hope Shirokov makes the team, we could use a offensively creative puck dangler on the Canucks, tho I think we have too many forwards.
