Even during his retirement ceremony she looked like she wanted to be some where else.
Plus it seems like she would be the reason why they don't have kids lol. Linden seems to be family type guy. Speculation anyways...

apparently there are rumors coming from within the organization saying that management is leaning towards sending McCann back to junior so as to not rush his development...main knock against him is that his body is just not NHL ready and that he's already had a concussion.
I'm 80-20 on this (80% keep, 20% send back), kid seems like he's ready for prime time and plays a pretty complete game technically but i can see him getting wiped out and missing significant time with injuries

Jared McCann has certainly impressed in his first seven games with the Vancouver Canucks, and is currently tied for second among NHL rookies with four goals.
Despite the impressive start, McCann may not be a lock to stay with the club past the nine-game threshold as head coach Willie Desjardins expressed concern about keeping the 19-year-old with the club.
"The biggest worry is that down the road he gets worn down and the league gets hard for him and he loses his confidence," Desjardins told reporters. "He's too good of a player that we don't want him to lose his confidence and just feel that he's got to dump the puck.
"We want him to feel he can handle the puck and make plays."
McCann - as well as fellow rookie Jake Virtanen - would have the first year of his entry-level deal kick in if he plays 10 games. McCann has appeared in one more game than Virtanen so far this season - with both playing in limited minutes.
With the Canucks heading on a quick two-game road trip to face the Dallas Stars and Arizona Coyotes starting Thursday, decisions on the pair should come by the weekend.

He's more suited to face more physical teams. So you'll likely see him in the line up when we go against 'tougher' opponents.
That and we have 4 centers already so unless he converts to the wing, he's down on the depth chart.

Would rather see McCan in ot then hansen. He has earned an opportunity. Or even virtanen, I don't think he has earned the opportunity but there is room for a possible explosive dark horse.
The 3 on 3 is meant to be exciting and explosive, slow players do not belong unless they are trying to shut down some star players. I find even the sedin are to slow for 3 on 3, but they get by on their skill, mindset, and passing. So frustrating watching, you got at least 1 point WD, try something new.

i honestly think Willie's fucking it up this season...must be his pain meds or something or
its his fucking phobia of playing anyone whose age ends in a "teen" or whose name starts with Sven in the third period
last year we had success rolling four lines in 60 mins
this year we're shortening the bench in the third period...and look at the fucking results
i can't find the stats but the kids were playing something less than two minutes in the third
It's like his whole fucking stubborness of not playing Weber in the first few games despite the fact that the fucking powerplay sucked ass
Finally, caves in and puts the guy in and look at the PP now.
I mean, seriously Willie, what the fuck? We're not coaches but its plain and simple that shortening the bench in the third results in fucking blown leads and blown games.
McCann and Baertschi played 2 shifts. Virtanen played 5 shifts.

WD cant adapt quick enough weather its the pp, not playing kids, shortening the bench ect....always waits too long and it is costing us! I have yet to see him blow up on a ref and call them over to the bench and shit on them for fucking up! IE lastnights game when Benn clearly interfered with dorsett on the tieing goal. WD needs to fucking man up and start bitching at the refs and show some anger!

The twins really aren't that great 3 on 3, given that it is more about 1 on 1 skills and speed. Hank falls down and turns the puck over for an oddman rush at least once every 3 on 3.
Playing Sutter and Hansen in OT aren't good moves either - they just don't have the hands.
I'd go with Vbrata/Horvat, Burrows/McCann, Edler, Tanev

if the twins scored on the 2 chances they had in the first 10 seconds of previous 3on3's we wouldn't be talking about them "sucking" in 3v3.
They just need to bury chances which you could say has been an issue with the club 5v5 5v4 etc etc

Virtanen should be sent to Utica once Higgins comes back. He isn't showing much other then his physicality. Would rather him spend a year getting top minutes then him gripping his stick to hard in tthe NHL. He looks a bit frustrated, but doesn't have that finesse touch McCann has shown to settle and score goals.
Edit: Ah thought last year was his last in the chl, my mistake.

Not a fan of either team but it was a super unlucky bounce for Talbot. I expected icing to be called leading up to that play. Sekera already had one foot in the right face-off dot before Stajan even came close. Talbot made no intentions to come out and negate the icing either.
If the NHL wants to continue with hybrid icing, there should be an actual line across the hash marks instead of an imaginary one so it is 100% clear. It should be reviewable and challenged like goals resulting from offsides.

Hybrid icing isn't a black and white call like an offsides. It was a race to the dots when it was first introduced, but they changed it to a judgment call as to which player the linesman judged would win the race to the puck NO LATER THAN the faceoff dots.
I don't see how you could effectively challenge an official's 100% subjective call.
Rule 81 – Icing
81.1 Icing – For the purpose of this rule, the center red line will divide the
ice into halves. Should any player of a team, equal or superior in
numerical strength (power-play) to the opposing team, shoot, bat or
deflect the puck from his own half of the ice beyond the goal line of
the opposing team, play shall be stopped. For the purpose of
deflected pucks, this only applies when the puck was originally
propelled down the ice by the offending team.
For the purpose of this rule, the point of last contact with the puck
by the team in possession shall be used to determine whether icing
has occurred or not. As such, the team in possession must “gain the
line” in order for the icing to be nullified. “Gaining the line” shall mean
that the puck, while on the player’s stick (not the player’s skate) must
make contact with the center red line in order to nullify a potential
icing.
For the purpose of interpretation of the rule, there are two
judgments required for "icing the puck". The Linesman must first
determine that the puck will cross the goal line. Once the Linesman
determines that the puck will cross the goal line, icing is completed
upon the determination as to which player (attacking or defending)
would first touch the puck. This decision by the Linesman will be made
by no later than the instant the first player reaches the end zone faceoff
dots with the player's skate being the determining factor. Should
the puck be shot down the ice in such a manner that it travels around
the boards and/or back towards the end zone face-off dots, the same
procedure shall be in effect in that the Linesman shall determine
within a similar distance as to who will have touched the puck first.
For clarification, the determining factor is which player would first
touch the puck, not which player would first reach the end zone faceoff
dots.
If the race for the puck is too close to determine by the time the
first player reaches the end zone face-off dots, icing shall be called.
The puck striking or deflecting off an official does not automatically
nullify a potential icing.

I don't see how you could effectively challenge an official's 100% subjective call.
That's exactly what I'm saying. An offside is black and white because there is a physical line there to determine whether or not a player is offside.
In the icing scenario with Sekera/Stajan, based on the two angles I saw it looked like Sekera would be first to the puck. It is subjective like you mentioned and the linesman obviously saw it differently. He had to make the call in real-time and was on the opposite side of Stajan so perhaps he had a much better view than I did.
A physical line across the hash marks would be black and white and could determine an icing for a close call like this.

If you watch the willie comments today, he said something where if they were not good enough by game 4, they would've been sent down. Also benning said it was Willie idea to announce it even for virtanen when he's not even close to 9 games yet.

Even wd's radio interviews last week and week before alluded to them staying. When everyone had their panties all bunched up with the kids riding the bench in the third. WD basically said they would get more minutes and opportunities as the season went along.
Boho started off with real sparing minutes early on too, but there certainly isnt the whining like now when horvat was getting about 10 mins a game. And he was also in and out of the lineup, but it felt like he played lots because he was injured early and got a late start to the season. I think it was close to December before horvat hit his 9 games.

Good to see the kids stick. We gotta prepare for life after the Sedin and the cupboard was looking real bare until these guys came around. Remember when our best prospect was Anton Rodin? Where's Nicklas Jensen? Maybe they'll draft or trade for a good D prospect.
Liquid_o2
11-02-2015, 10:39 AM
Wish we had one of either Clendening or Corrado still, but no looking back I suppose. Subban isn't ready yet. I wouldn't mind seeing Pedan called up for a few games to see what he can do since he is having a solid start to the year in Utica. D is by far the weakest position the Canucks have from a prospect standpoint.

Wouldn't be surprised if McCann finishes with like 16 goals and 20 assists and Kes/Bones put up 20+goals and 50+ points when all is said and done
i'm actually surprised McCann has no assists through 9 games.
He got robbed of an assist on Burrows' goal in the first game.

Even if Sedins don't score, they take the other team's first D out of the equation and give a legit (yes I went there) second line lesser players to go against = more goals for us regardless.

barring any sort of fuck up, the guy is marked to be the next Captain. Already acts like one and his points don't even come close to his actual contribution.

-latest news about the woman accusing Patrick Kane of sexual assault.
Hmm. It sounds like based on the article, it implies that he did not FHRITP. :suspicious:
Report: Kane accuser no longer wants to co-operate with investigation - Article - TSN (http://www.tsn.ca/report-kane-accuser-no-longer-wants-to-co-operate-with-investigation-1.387353)
The woman who accused Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane of sexual assault no longer wants to co-operate in the investigation, according to the Buffalo News, which cited five sources in a report Tuesday.
According to the report, the alleged victim signed a document called an "affidavit declining prosecution" after a lengthy meeting with the Erie County (N.Y.) District Attorney's Office last week. The woman reportedly told authorities that the investigation has caused "tremendous stress for her and her family."
District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III still ultimately controls whether the case will go forward or not. Sedita is running unopposed in an election on Tuesday to become a State Supreme Court judge. He declined to comment on the report to the Buffalo News.
Tuesday's news follows a weekend report from the Buffalo News in which three sources said that it appears highly unlikely any criminal charges will be filed against Kane in connection with the case. That story said authorities have decided there are too many questions about the woman's allegations for them to proceed with charges.
Kane was accused of assaulting a woman in her 20s in August at his off-season home outside Buffalo. He has not been charged with a crime.
In a Sept. 25 news conference, Sedita said "the question in my mind is not when this case will go to a grand jury; it's if this case will go to a grand jury." That day, Sedita was clarifying a bizarre twist in the case - a "hoax" as Sedita called it - regarding a report of a misappropriated rape kit evidence bag. Little information had surfaced about the case since then.
Through the first month of the season, Kane sits alone in third among the NHL's scoring leaders with 16 points in 12 games. He has faced derisive chants - including "She Said No" and "No Means No" - during different stops on the road this season, including Philadelphia and Brooklyn.
Even if the case appears to be winding down, Kane told reporters in Chicago on Sunday that he will not comment until the investigation is officially concluded.
"Those are just reports and not really any facts or anything so far," Kane said. "You understand the law and I'm not the only case going on in that district. It's one of those situations where it seems like it's been a long time, but obviously I'll be looking forward to any time of conclusion, whatever it may be. For me to comment on anything sources say or any reports would be going against what we've been saying this whole time. I'll just continue to stick to that plan: not saying much about it, just waiting for a conclusion

Is is just Canucks fans or some NHL hockey fans in general who do not respect Swedes or even other European born players?
It's like what that dinosaur Don Cherry sometimes said on Coach's Corner. "You need some good Canadian boys to win a Stanley Cup" blah blah blah.
There are big exceptions to what Cherry says though.
I think there's huge respect among Red Wings fans and knowledgeable hockey fans in general about what Nicklas Lidstrom did for Detroit during their years of winning Stanley Cups.

Really? I admit that this group is more likeable than I thought they would be, mostly due to the presence of a bunch of rookies and hope...but camaraderie?
Not sure I feel that with this group. In 2011, you had a whole bunch of Canucks that have been Canucks for a long time as well as a few more that were either from the area (Malhotra, Hamhuis) or were just instantly likeable because they were the underdog 4th liners that no one had heard of (Tanner Glass, Tambellini, Oreo, Maximum Lapdance)
This current group of Canucks are...different. Gone are the core guys that we thought would be lifers like Bieksa and Kesler and now we have short term solutions like Ryan Miller and new guys that we don't really have ties to like Brandon Sutter and Radim Vrbata. That's sort of unfair because Miller and Vrbata have made significant contributions to the team but this team doesn't seem as close or as close to the city because they didn't grow in the system.

There is a power pick at 4.5 for Benn to score a goal and for the stars to win a game. Those are pretty decent odds.
And stars to score first.
I still took the bet... decent odds for the situation. That top line is a monster.

The Ducks weren't going to suck all year.
They were down and out a couple years ago before Corey Perry MVPed them into the playoffs.

Daniel has costed us 3 points to date. 1 empty net that led to OTL in Detroit and now.

this team is a joke when it comes to third periods! they just shit their pants! I didnt watch the game but I am assuming WD shortened his bench again and it costs them!

Bench didn't seem shortened at all. Lots of line juggling in the third period though. Hutton screened Miller pretty good on the third goal. No buffalo player in front of Miller and Hutton is blocking his view. Beartschi had a pretty good game, hard on the forecheck and created some good chances.

That's because they have a combined salary of 9.6mill and have a total of 5 points together this year.

I thought that this team played better on the road compared to home.
It doesn't matter where this team plays now. They are getting wrecked.

Shinkaruk and Demko are off to fantastic starts this year. Very encouraging
