Flying_Lion Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Vancouver named their goalie as Captain?!? Not to take away from Luongo but, um, that seems stretching it a bit. Is there no skaters worthy of the C over there? To be honest, I don't follow the 'nucks too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alvinlala Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Vancouver named their goalie as Captain?!? Not to take away from Luongo but, um, that seems stretching it a bit. Is there no skaters worthy of the C over there? To be honest, I don't follow the 'nucks too much. There was a decision between Willie Mitchell, Matthias Ohlund, and Roberto Luongo. Mitchell being a former captain in Minnesota knows how to be a captain. Ohlund being the longest serving Canuck currently in Vancouver. And there's Luongo. Luongo said that if he cut his hair and made the front page, then obviously whatever he does would make the front page and that's why they chose him. Yes, I'm a huge fan of the Vancouver Canucks AND the Montreal Canadiens. Mostly because I live in Vancouver so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor123 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Vancouver is having an awesome pre-season this year. I'm hoping they can carry that in to the season, I think this year will be a bounce back year for the Canucks. Yes, I'm a fan of the Canucks too, but Canadiens first always.

leafs_rock_go_mccabe Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I am still picking the Canucks to miss the post-season. I know their preseason has been great, but it's just that... PRESEASON. Gillis as manager has been nothing short of disappointing, and the offense is probably still going to be aenemic. Good luck, Vancouver. You are going to need it.

alvinlala Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 We have the momentum. It's just that we need to carry that into our game tomorrow night. If we can do that, we will make the post-season in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koreysecord1992 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Vancouver looking to make a statement early? Now all they have to do is prove 6 goals right off the bat isn't a fluke and not sink into a string of 1 and 2 goal games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott92 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Canucks C Demitra out 3-4 weeks with rib injury VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP)—Vancouver Canucks center Pavol Demitra is expected to miss three to four weeks with a rib injury. Demitra, the Canucks’ highest-paid forward after signing a two-year, $8 million free-agent contract this summer, was injured during Sunday’s 4-2 loss in Chicago. An MRI on Wednesday, after the team returned from a six-game, 12-day road trip, revealed fractured rib cartilage. The 33-year-old Demitra had three points in six games anchoring the second line and second power-play unit. Click link to view article. Tough loss for the already struggling Canucks. He's their second line center and it'll be tough to replace a player like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_rudeboy Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Luongo injured vs. Penguins "Luongo apparently suffered the injury after kicking out his left leg to make his first and only save of the game against the Penguins. Luongo immediately sprawled to the ice. He was helped off the ice by two teammates and the team trainer to undergo further evaluation."

Stihlman Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Tough loss for the already struggling Canucks. He's their second line center and it'll be tough to replace a player like him. Sorry but I have to correct you on the "Struggling Canucks" part. There actually one of the hottest team in the league right now....8-0-2 out of there last ten games,and 2 loss in there last 15 games.And the last three wins Sanford was in net,plus they beat the Wings last night with Sandman making key saves to give them the win in OT. Edit: Sorry I just noticed your post was from Oct 23,When they were struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo's status remains in question There still is no word on when Vancouver Canuck goaltender Roberto Luongo may return to NHL action. Luongo, out since Nov. 22 with a groin injury, had been practising with the Canucks and there was speculation he could play in Saturday's game against the Oilers in Edmonton. Luongo left practice after about 20 minutes Wednesday and did not speak to the media after.

Source: http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=397473 Luongo's still listed as week to week, speculation is that he's out for another 3-6 weeks (I think the media said 3-4, Burrows let slip the numbers 4-6). Currently he's not being allowed on the ice. Schneider's been OK since coming up from the AHL, just needs some more confidence. AV has been switching between him and Sanford but I think he needs to pick a goalie and run with it. At least the Canucks got off to a pretty good start to the season; they should still be in a good position for the post-season if they can stay at 0.500 until Luongo returns.

CanuckGalInVic Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Well deserved! I was always a fan of Trevor Linden, a former Hab. I was sad to see him retire without a Stanley Cup ring. I'll be watching the ceremony tonight. GO CANUCKS! Well you probably got to watch the ceremony before I did. I watched the recording last night because I was so late getting home on Wednesday. I think even Montreal's "drunk" snow plow driver would be better that most of Victoria's crew. I had a heck of a time getting home from work Wednesday night when the entire bus system shut down after a few inches of snow. Anyway, back on on topic, the jersey retirement ceremony was great. I had thought initially that an hour was going to be way too long but it seemed to move along at a pretty good pace. Now I'm quite excited about the addition of Sundin. HUGE addition without giving up anything. And he doesn't seem like the kind of player who's going to head into the locker room with a huge ego, which is really important with the current team. Several players (most notably Sanford) have said this team is the best locker-room situation they've ever been in, that the team has bonded incredibly well. And it shows on the ice (and off, when all you can hear in some of the post-game interviews is the celebration from the locker room ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny_rudeboy Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Vancouver Canucks lose defenceman Sami Salo for four weeks due to rib injury http://news.yahoo.com/s/cpress/20081219/ca..._canucks_salo_2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGalInVic Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 ^ Nothing new there. Salo's always out for something these days. He's literally snake-bitten - he was once bitten by a snake while out golfing. Davison's been playing really solidly recently so it doesn't hurt too much defensively, but where the Canucks really miss Salo is on the PP. Second hardest shot on the team (Edler had the hardest shot at last year's skills comp), but his shot is a lot more accurate than Edler's. Mike Brown was already wearing #15 in last night's game, handing over his #13 to Sundin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGalInVic Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Taylor Pyatt is out indefinitely after he broke his foot blocking a Willie Mitchell shot last night. He's sort of been the odd man out this year though, and one I don't think many people (aside from the puckbunnies) will miss much. Complainers will need to find a new scapegoat though. source: TSN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckGalInVic Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 It appears Sundin will play Wednesday, Jan 7 in Edmonton. He has traveled with the team to Edmonton (didn't go on the previous roadtrip), Jannik Hansen was sent down to the minors to clear roster space, and the team 1040 (Vancouver sports radio) is reporting Sundin will dress for the game. Jannik Hansen being sent down was a bit of a surprise given that he made the team out of camp. Most expected Bolduc or Jaffray (recent call-ups) to be sent to the Moose as they also don't have to clear waivers. Mike Brown wouldn't be waived because, for some reason, the club wants to keep him around and figures he'd get picked up. Hansen sent to Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innis_Mor Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 http://www.globeinvestor.com/servlet/story...ks0116/GIStory/ Vancouver has now lost six straight games on home ice, which hasn't happened since 1970-71, the team's inaugural NHL season. I guess that was nervous laughter Vigneault exhibited the other day when he was asked if Luongo would be playing a lot of goal now that he is back. The team is in 9th place (out of play-offs) currently on points %: http://www.nhl.com/ice/teamstats.htm?fetch...iewName=summary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp73 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 It looks like the best signings BG makes are the one's he doesn't make Sundin would have been a good addition at the start of the year but now he's just a disruption to the chemistry of a team It looks good on him, going from a TEAM that missed the PO's in the East to one that might miss the PO's in the WEST .........all for $ 5 million Vancouver currently in 7th spot with 49 pts The teams below them have 2 to 3 games in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
