Fort Nucks, The Legend of Johnny Canuck - Part 2 Johnny...

VAN signs college UFA Kellan Lain from Lake Superior State. 6-foot-6 centre from Oakville, Ont.

geez - huge kid.

Kellan Lain, Center, Vancouver Canucks (Lake Superior):

Lain is an older than usual Junior, a 23 year old who turns 24 in July. His main asset is his physical game, at 6′6′’ 222 not only is he tall and strong but tough as well. He’s a big center who can win battles and make opposing defensemen aware of his presence on the ice. He also skates at a decent level for a man his size. Lain doesn’t have a whole lot of offensive upside, notching 39 points over 108 NCAA games, but he does have some defensive value and I think he can stay at center at the pro level. He actually led Lake Superior in face off % this season, winning 56% of his 571 draws. That’s not a great sample, but it is nevertheless intriguing.

This guy needs to make the Canucks just so Don Taylor can have a field day making Beethoven and music composer references.

AV seems to be taking most of the heat, but he can only work with the players that Gillis provides. I'm quite surprised that the Vancouver media has been this easy on the Canucks GM (must be worried about their precious insider status).

there was a fairly pointed article last week looking at Gillis' legacy thus far.
I think it was Willes, but could be wrong on that.

On this date in 1996, the Canucks obtained Markus Naslund from the Penguins for Alek Stojanov.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that is the fewest shots on goal in a victory since the lockout.

The officiating bias in this game isn't even being hidden Canucks should have had 3 more PP this period

Hack slash hold the stick

 

[mattola]
