The upcoming Canucks season thread

Not so fast:

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 32s

After further thought and talking with his family, Vinny Prospal has informed Canucks that he's retiring and won't be joining Utica on PTO.

Yay?

Not sure if I should put this in the Premiership Forum thread or this one:

Sunderland (bottom of the table in the Premier League) has scored 9 goals in their last 7 games. The Canucks have scored 8 goals in their last 7 games.

I just farted and it smelled like a Canucks power play

There's a petition going around the Canucks locker room to the coaching staff about not having to pass to Hansen anymore. Hansen signed, too

all from the provies:

It’s difficult to recall the David Booth halcyon days.
He still had that Florida tan and put 13 points in his first 18 games with the Canucks.
He was good. He really was.
That player seems long gone.
In six of nine games this month he hasn’t had a shot on net.
That matches his total from all of 2011-12.

Gallagher says move the Sedins...

/Ok, not really, but he says you can't hit the rebuild button either.

Daniels game has gone the way of the dodo bird

Poll question today - Which button should the Canucks push? Choices are:

a. Reset button
b. Rebuild button
c. Panic button
d. Snooze button

Canucks are not very good....

Edler doesn't seem like the same player he was a couple years ago. He's team worst -16 on the season (next closest is -8).

Kesler, Mr. Selke (haha), is a -7 and looks disinterested 90% of the time.

Daniel Sedin 2 pts in last 10 GP
Henrik Sedin Injured
Ryan Kesler 4 pts in last 10 GP
Chris Higgins 7 pts in last 10 GP
Mike Santorelli Injured
Brad Richardson 1 pts in last 10 GP
Zack Kassian 6 pts in last 10 GP - hot for Kassian
Jannik Hansen 2 pts in last 10 GP
David Booth 2 pts in last 10 GP
Dale Weise 2 pts in last 10 GP
Tom Sestito 1 pts in last 10 GP
Alexandre Burrows 3 pts in 22 GP!

Jason Garrison 3 pts in last 10 GP
Kevin Bieksa 4 pts in last 10 GP - hot I guess
Dan Hamhuis 2 pts in last 10 GP
Christopher Tanev 2 pts in last 10 GP
Ryan Stanton Just back from injury
Alexander Edler 2 pts in last 8 GP

That is a lot of blue!!!

I will say this though, the Hawks have played a ton of hockey over the past 12 months and you can tell that they have checked out defensively. The Olympic break could be just what they need though to recharge the batteries.

of course, no chance for the current canucks in the state they are in

but maybeeeeeee

they could get healthy
they could find their scoring touch
they could acquire 2 impact forwards for the top 6
they could figure out thing defensively
they could solve the power play issues

and if my aunt had nuts she would be tsn's bob mckenzie
