The upcoming Canucks season thread

@FarhanLaljiTSN
- Gillis re #Luongo, "we're talking to 4 teams with varying levels of activity and various proposals"
Gillis also said "it might not be the right time" to trade #Luongo and suggested that it would be easier in the summer
- Gillis re Kesler, "we expect Ryan to skate today... expect him to play within a week"
- hopes Kassian will be back soon, "We need him to play a lot and get his feet moving. We'll need him in the playoffs"


faster on Kesler than I thought. last I read on the tweets he was still in a cast/boot.

If Gillis is saying a week, is Kesler's camp saying a month?

Paterson reports that Kesler was on crutches today but not wearing a walking boot ... he is milking this for all its worth

trade him

jesus we are a soft fucking team and even worse now than we were last year. is it possible to be eliminated in the playoffs in under 4 games.

 

[puckhead]

Kassian back up.


AV: was told yesterday Kesler would skate in a couple of days. Raymond is day to day, "shouldn't be too long."
Dale Weise should join team soon for practice. Keith Ballard ... "I don't know. I didn't ask"


holy deep doghouse, batman.

@farhanlaljitsn: Pavel Bure press conference today with #canucks at 11:45. Team could sure use him these days - if only it was April 1st

Squire Barnes said last week he was coming to town to do some work with Canucks Place and the alumni .... first step in repairing his image amongst the people who decide whether he gets his number retired

Good Nux news: Ryan Kesler (foot), Mason Raymond (shoulder), Dale Weise (shoulder), Keith Ballard (foot) all skating right now.

 

[puckhead]

great. Now Pavel Bure has come back to feed babies to Fin.
embrace the hate.

 

[mattola]

anyone listen to team 1040 gillis interview today? wondering what spin he put out

 

[puckhead]

amazing what a difference it is having 2 actual NHL centers in the line-up.
Derek Roy was terrific.
Canucks were outshot the Oilers 11-1 when Roy was on the ice. now that's a fancy stat
looking forward to maybe having three centers soon.

also, first time having more than a day off between games in a month seemed to help with the legs.

solid effort. 60 minutes finally.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Tidy game

Garrison got nailed by mike brown right before kassians goal. Shoulder?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

So ...

Against what team will they retire bures number next season

Done ... And done

 

[puckhead]

Canucks outshot the Oilers 11-1 when Roy was on the ice.

[dash]

What the hell? Thanks for beating down the Oil last night boys.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

^lol wtf?

they still celebrating Yaks first NHL goal???

 

[puckhead]

I enjoy these. especially the Sedin related ones
and moreso the ones where Edmonton is on the wrong side of it.

Uhh, Gino's seen better days. He's probably nursing a pretty good hangover today.

Who am I kidding... he's probably nursing another rye and coke.

 

[mattola]

holy fuck Gino my goodness.

 

[mooger_35]

Gotta love the wolf pack shirt.

Wonder if he's a "one man wolf pack"?

 

[mattola]

Gino looks like the fucking Kurgan
