When a goalie gets knocked down and plays not dead, watch how quick they can get up.




Well same here. I know all hobbies are expensive. I'm just simply saying I can name a handful of sports much cheaper than hockey.
But I'm not gonna tell my kids to like a specific sport just because one costs less. I'll let them find out what they want to do and
be there to support.

I can really only think of basketball and soccer as cheaper sports. Maybe something like swimming or track but if they really get into those, I'm sure getting into those programs is expensive as well.

[Expresso]

Seems like waste for him to play 4th line center though. I just can't see him being signed here. Be cool though.

[b0unce. [?]]

Morrison signing back with us is something I wouldn't mind. He's pretty legit, i'd be okay with it if he signed for the right price.

[kristianhay]

Probably under a mil, third line possibly with Burrows out and Hodgson possibly not ready for main camp? 42 pts last season is too good for fourth line duties.

[Hondaracer]

Mo's gotta go!

Not down with bringing him back, he will be 4th line center if anything and IMO he doesn't really fit that role unless he's going to change his game to become more defensive minded and more physical

Doubt third line center. We signed Manny Maholtra to be the third line center. Doubt he will be the 2nd line center, and don't expect him to be 4th line center.

[411ken]

I agree that Mo has got to go...I just don't see a fit for him here....

;7107326']Well I mean you could throw anyone with the sedins or be a body infront of the net and pick up garbage goals.

But do it well at the same time? How many people tried to fill that role and do as well as Carter or Burrows?

Sidenote: Carter scored 33 goals and was still -1 that season, wtf!

[OhSoGood]

Burrows does a lot more then just play well with the sedins

[SumAznGuy]

Burrows does a lot more then just play well with the sedins

Burrows also plays on the PK with Kesler and had 5 SHG last year. HE doesn't play on the PP with the twins, IIRC.

They tried playing the twins with Pylon and Bernier and it didn't really work out. So no, it's not as easy as going to the net to pickup the garbage.

[trancehead]

If BMO does make the team, talk about depth!

I sure hope malhotra can anchor a proper shutdown line...

[sonick]

It sounds like Eddie Lack is playing amazing for the prospects game right now. Rai is also having a good game too.

[NimbeeTT]

[Harvey Specter]

BMO would be a nice pick up.

[Ch28]

Was watching the game during work and Eddie Lack has been phenomenal. He's the only reason the Canucks were in the game.

[shawn79]

would bmo fit our 4th line?

If he were to play the center position yes.

[JKam]

bmo for captain!

[rsx]

bmo's actually gotten a bit quicker since his surgeries. He's past his prime but should be able to provide depth and experience.

What's the story of Schaeffer?

[shawn79]

^ traded to ottawa for sammi salo

[FS1992EG]

our PK was top notch when Bmo was actually on the pk and ever since our "shot blocking" specialist Johnson came into the fold, we were in the bottom of the ranks.

I say we sign him for cheap, he can score goals and he can also prevent them, pretty good for a 4th line guy if u ask me.

welly is done son

[b0unce. [?]]

can we 'write off' hodgson? or does he legitimately still have a shot at making the team this season?

[dbaz]

I didnt think he had a legitimate shot at all but because of injuries and unless a tryout makes the team one of hodgson/schroeder/shirokov should be playing wing on the second line to start the season while samuelson takes burrows spot

[trancehead]

Watching those prospect games, Prab Rai is pretty quick.

Prab Rai and Manny Maholtra would make an unholy duo on the third line

[pastarocket]

Brendan Morrison, the one third of the West Coast Express back in the day, is heading to Canucks main camp as a tryout. Is he for real?

The TSN scribes get his age wrong on their site article. He's described as a 25 year old center. The guy's 34 years old!!

What do you think of B-Mo trying out for the team?

[Hondaracer]

id rather a young kid learn on the 4th line than have a charity case B-mo there.

[Tim Budong]

Dont get me wrong, B-Mo is great. The guy can still play hockey, and its smart hockey. He would definitely bring more edge to the PK. Him being on the 3rd/4th line would boost our depth wayy more.

Cody Hodgson and Jordan Schroder have ALOT to prove if they want to crack this lineup. keep in mind, good teams are patient with their prospects. Aside from the examples in Detroit, the Ducks handled Getzlaf and Perry pretty well. They didn't crack the ducks line up until they were 22? It all about grooming prospects.

Giving the young kids a shot is worth every second of their time. Having a guy like Bmo come in to compete with them gives them every bit of reason to work harder. Peter Schafer wont make this team, but BMO has a very legitamate shot at cracking the canucks

[Gumby]

I find it kinda sad how apart from the elite getting the big bucks and the blue chip prospects getting generous contracts, the experienced, but older guys (such as Morrison, Schaefer, etc.) are looking for jobs.

[b0unce. [?]]

i guess most teams dont really want anyone over 32ish unless they are a proven solid vet.
they want the younger kids with more jump and energy. but i mean there are pros and cons both ways. experience and leadership are just as valuable.

^ That.

[dbaz]

they were both young once and pushing the older guys out too.

there's only so many jobs and new players come in every year.

Situations have changed since these players were young but its basically true. The nhl has changed younger players are in higher demand because of 2 main reasons lower cap hits, 2 way eligibility and in lesser turns better possible outcomes. You look at the teams that go after ufas and after they sign 2 players because of inflation of peoples contracts your looking at around 10million for those 2 players who may not even be top of the line talent. Thats around 1/5, 1/6 of your cap, teams cant be willing to pay a proven vet 1m+ when 2 spots could be taken with young cheap players. This is one of the downsides with the salary cap, people being forced out of the league earlier than they should. Previously younger players would spend a couple years in the ahl except crosby/ov type players. Young players are are now rushed straight up to create additional cap room this is a common occurance in probably all the teams except detroit and possibly van this year because of decent contracts.

Getzlaf broke into the Ducks roster when he was 20. Same age as Cody. If Cody wasn't hurt last year, i'm pretty sure he would have cracked the roster. B-Mo isn't exactly your prototypical 4th line center but looking at teams like Philly rolling 4 scoring lines with a mix of grinders on each line the 4th line in the NHL doesn't have to be typical. If he does make the team he better not make over 800k if he does, Gillis better send Hordichuk to Manitoba.

BURNS CALLS TSN: “TELL THEM THEM I'M ALIVE”

In contrast to several erroneous reports earlier in the day, former NHL head coach Pat Burns is alive,

Burns phoned TSN on Friday.

"Here we go again," said the three-time NHL coach of the year. "They're trying to kill me before I'm dead. I come to Quebec to spend some time with my family and they say I'm dead. I'm not dead, far (expletive) from it. They've had me dead since June. Tell them I'm alive. Set them straight."

A report on Thursday suggested that Burns' condition had taken a turn for the worse.

The 58-year old has returned home to Magog, Quebec to be with his family.

http://canucks.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=40080

Actually, you look down on the jumbotron and the players do look like ants.

But being up there is a different experience from being on the lower levels.

I've been to the BB club 3 times. Each time they had different food. Food and drinks are included. If you want to show off to a chick who doesn't care about hockey then the BB club is totally baller.
I was one of the first people to yell and scream when Kesler scored that goal against Washington because I had a really good view from above.

If they care about hockey, each section/row has their own pro's and cons.

I've been on row 4 in section 119. You can see everything in your end of the rink. For the far end, you will have to look up at the jumbotron to see. Also, the glass distorts some of the action if you are looking down ice.

Top of the lower bowl behind the net. Can't really see where the puck is because of the safety net. Action at the other end gets a little small.

Row 21-23 of section 104. Getting a little far away and need to look at the Jumbotron to see what is going on.

Row 9 right on the center ice redline behind the players bench. Good view of everything on the ice, and can see into the players benches. A little close and view of the ice goes to shit but you are closer to the players.

It's like going to a concert. Front row unobstructed view is best, but being served all you can eat and drink pop is fun too.

[cressydrift]

Can't believe the team is on the ice right now. Was just listening to team1040 and Hamhuis looks good. Hodgson cleared to practice. Pre-Season next week!

It seemed like eons ago when people were freaking out on some poor RS member starting the Official 2010/2011 Canucks Thread before the pervious season was over. We're now into page 144 or something before pre-season begins. Glad we can finally start to talk about the Canucks again. I guess the thread kept people kind of connected to hockey over the summer.

[winson604]

i thought every team is playing one home one away game in every building this year?

Negative I believe the format is the following.

Each team team will play DIVISION teams 6 times. (I.e Penguins play devils, rangers, islanders and flyers 3 times at home and 3 times on road)

Each team will play CONFERENCE teams 4 times. (I.e Penguins will play capitals senators etc, etc, 4 times. Twice at home and twice on road)

Lastly, each Eastern Conference team will play each Western Conference team at least once. The NHL will pick three games though where there will be a home and home series. (I.e Penguins would play The Red WIngs, Sharks, And Blue Jackets 2 times, once at home and once on road, and they would play every other western conference team just once.)

I thought so too, I swear I remember a few years back they said they will be changing it. But i think the format is the one I posted a few posts back =\

[RRxtar]

they did change the format to what it is now

it used to be

8 games vs division - 32
4 games vs rest of conf - 40

so 72 games played against same conference. leaving only 10 games to play the 15 other teams. 5 teams we dont play

so some years we wouldnt play every team.

now its

6 games vs division - 24
4 games vs rest of conf - 40

so 64 games played against the same conference. leaving 18 games to play the other 15 teams. 3 teams we play twice.

yeah that sounds fair hah

[raygunpk]

Barring last-minute changes, those heading to Vancouver are:

Peter Schaeffer – Rick Rypien – Victor Oreskovich
Raffi Torres – Manny Malhotra / Alex Friesen – Guillaime Desbiens
Bill Sweatt – Brendan Morrison – Sergei Shirokov
Prab Rai – Stefan Schneider – Shawn Weller

Aaron Rome – Lee Sweatt
Kevin Connauton – Kevin Bieksa
Evan Oberg – Chris Tanev
Taylor Ellington – Sawyer Hannay

Cory Schneider – David Shantz

Those heading to Calgary are:

Jeff Tambellini – Joel Perrault – Jannik Hansen
Tanner Glass – Alex Bolduc – Jordan Schroeder
Aaron Volpatti – Mario Bliznak – Pierre-Olivier Morin
Darcy Hordichuk – Marco Rosa – Steven Anthony / Matthew Fraser

Keith Ballard – Nolan Baumgartner
Shane O’Brien – Travis Ramsay
Sean Zimmerman – Andrew Alberts
Adam Polasek

Tyler Weiman – Eddie Lack

http://canuckshockeyblog.com/?p=4418

Hodgson wasn't cleared for full contact until about 5 minutes ago, so that's why he isn't in either lineup. Expect him to play vs Oilers on Wednesday.

[Ch28]

Line of Bill Sweatt – Brendan Morrison – Sergei Shirokov will be a fun line to watch

[JKam]

Willie Mitchell told me today Doughty offered him his number 8. Mitchell declined but he said it spoke to Doughty's character

wow mad respect for Doughty now.

[Ikkaku]

Sweatt-Mo-Shiro

Group C will not practicpate in their game Tuesday.

Group C is made up of:

Daniel Sedin, Henrik Sedin, Alex Burrows, Mason Raymond, Ryan Kesler, Mikael Samuelsson, Manny Malhotra, Cody Hodgson, Alex Edler, Christian Ehrhoff, Dan Hamhuis, Kevin Bieksa and Roberto Luongo – also known as the majority of the Canucks with secured jobs.

This group practiced Monday and will practice again Tuesday.

HOPE HODGSON DOESN'T DISAPPOINT!

[Ronin]

HOPE HODGSON DOESN'T DISAPPOINT!

That doesn't mean Hodgson has a roster spot. He's on group C and not playing in the pre-season game because he's still not taking contact due to injury.

I think Hodgson starts on the Moose this season and gets called up around November...just as precaution and to get his legs going after such a long injury period.

[JKam]

wasnt Hodgson cleared for contact today and expected to play in the preseason games starting with Edmonton?

[raygunpk]

Yes.

[choda]

this is correct

[Derek_N84]

As much as I would like to see Hodgson w/ the Canucks, I rather have him down w/ the Moose (hopefully with Jordan too). No use rushing his development and he can develop chemistry with Jordan down there too and they could come up as a pair.

I'm fine with him not getting a roster spot just as long as he works his ass off. I can see him starting with the Moose though.

[Tegra_Devil]

are these two games on tv?(if so what channel)...or just streaming online?

[sonick]

Calgary game is on Rogers Sportsnet, and Vancouver game is on SportsNetOne I believe.

[Tegra_Devil]

damn, so i guess im gonna have to stream one.........i remember a discussion about sportsnet one.....is that a specialty channel or the normal one?

[sonick]

225 for shaw HD according to an earlier post.

I have analog cable so no SN1 for me :(

Calgary game has a better lineup anyways:

Peter Schaeffer – Rick Rypien – Victor Oreskovich
Raffi Torres – Manny Malhotra / Alex Friesen – Guillaime Desbiens
Bill Sweatt – Brendan Morrison – Sergei Shirokov
Prab Rai – Stefan Schneider – Shawn Weller

Aaron Rome – Lee Sweatt
Kevin Connauton – Kevin Bieksa
Evan Oberg – Chris Tanev
Taylor Ellington – Sawyer Hannay

Cory Schneider – David Shantz

[RacingMetro92]

Sportsnet One in Standard Definition is on 159 for Shaw users without an HD box (I made sure and checked when someone posted we got the channel, it works.) So...for those with basic cable...REJOICE!

[sonick]

Sick, it looks like it's available on standard cable too, Channel 88 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogers_Sportsnet_One

[kluk]

This is the group that will open the pre-season at home Tuesday against the Calgary Flames:

Schaefer – Rypien – Oreskovich; Torres – Friesen – Desbiens; Sweatt – Morrison – Shirokov; Rai – Schneider – Weller; Rome – Sweatt; Connauton – Bieksa; Oberg – Tanev; Ellington – Hannay; Schneider & Shantz

Kevin Bieksa and Manny Malhotra will also dress for the Canucks, but it’s unclear in place of who.

This is the group that will open the pre-season on the road Tuesday in Calgary against the other half of the Flames:

Tambellini – Perrault – Hansen; Glass – Bolduc – Schroeder; Volpatti – Bliznak – Morin; Hordichuk – Rosa – Anthony/Fraser; Ballard – Baumgartner; O’Brien – Ramsay; Zimmerman – Alberts; Polasek; Weiman & Lack

http://canucks.nhl.com/club/page.htm?id=39648

[Tegra_Devil]

BAAHHHHH...i do not have channel 88 nor 159.......guess im streaming it all

[murd0c]

Hopefully Hodgson plays sat since it looks like I just got free tickets 8th row behind in the net in the sony zone.

[punkwax]

I got club seats to next Tuesday's game vs. the Sharks - hope some of the big boys make it out.

For those that will be at tonight's game:

Cody Hodgson will be signing autographs in Section 315 from 6:00 – 6:45pm!
