I heard Vigneault signed Kesler's air cast "you're a pussy"

So, let me get this straight, it's not safe for Manny to play in games anymore, but practice (with more guys on the ice and more flying pucks) is fine?!?

no one's going to take his head off.

I played rec league with a guy who was a pretty highly touted prospect (scouts called him the next Paul Coffey) until he had a Bryan Berard type eye injury.
He could still skate like the wind, but if he was coming around the net on one side rather than the other, he couldn't see shit. No way to protect himself.

That's only one side of it though puck - What about the dangers that Manny might cause other players because his vision isn't up to snuff?

 

[mooger_35]

He can take out Ballard if he wants

i kind of agree with Dash on this. I guess it depends on what he is doing. if he is there to teach faceoffs I guess its ok. but anything else and put him in coaches gear

I also dont think its a coincidence that Manny is not playing anymore as the new rule of using your hand to move the puck is now enforced)

He still had a 65.3% winning percentage

It has been a given that malhotra would don the white jersey and occassionally suit up and participate in canucks practices post announcement that manny was done ...



Hes wearing a damn full contact jersey and is taking line rushes

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Team faceoff % has fallen off the cliff since manny "left the team"

 

[mattola]

yeah but only because the other guys he went up against had a 34.7% winning percentage.


Think about that.

[mattola]

holy radio jocks are fucking clowns in this city. I love how they just JUMP on hot or Cold times. back when it was Hot for the Canucks for Luongo and the rumour of Kadri and Schenn were not enough for for Lou... now its Kadri is leading the leafs in points and luongo is nothing. they should have made that trade then..... what were they thinking....

I'm told Ryan Kesler broke a bone in his foot against Dallas last week. That was 3 games ago.

I remember a shot block he took flush that game
