Something tells me another rant about officiating will be the main topic of discussion...
Fraser: My take on Johnny Boychuk's hit on Mason Raymond
Fraser thinks it was a minor penalty only as does Cliff Ronning. I still think it was dangerous to can opener a player going towards the boards and then drive him in backwards prone. suspendable to me. but Im of the minority and I will now drop it.
I know a lot of people are saying this game will be a defining one for Luongo, but I feel the Sedin's are in the same boat.
So who's going to take Raymond's spot in the lineup? Bolduc? Hodgson? Tambellini?
Hamhuis & Rome are already out. If Edler can't go it would be a big blow to the Canucks. I think Edler will be in the lineup though. We shall see.

Gillis Presser: "Raymond in hospital can move legs. he also think if they get Raymond back for November that they would be happy. they originally thought he may not walk again as they say it is a broken back"
and team 1040 confirmed Edler and Alberts will be fine. Hamhuis is a possibility.
Wow, thank god he seems to be in a much better position. That would be awful.
But many spinal experts and sports trainers say the team made a good call and that it was unlikely Raymond would risk further injury by getting up.
“Personally, I do think they handled it in the right way,” said Zhi Wang, a spinal surgeon at the Université de Montréal's Hospital Center. “These types of fractures are actually stable fractures. They do not have any neurological impact.”

BTW as I said earlier as well I am glad he is ok. I hate seeing players get hurt no matter what the reason.
no need to mention it. we believe you and thank you for your concern (seriously)
look we can all be assholes on this board (especially Jeff) but bottom line is no one wants anyone injured like that or like horton.
